December 31, 1934 — Kippenheim, Germany
USHMM Collection, Gift of Inge Auerbacher In 1942, seven-year-old Inge Auerbacher was deported with her parents to the Theresienstadt ghetto. She brought along this doll, named "Marlene" after German actress Marlene Dietrich, which her grandmother had given her. It would remain with ...

Inge was the only child of Berthold and Regina Auerbacher, religious Jews living in Kippenheim, a village in southwestern Germany near the Black Forest. Her father was a textile merchant. The family lived in a large house with 17 rooms and had servants to help with the housework.
1933-39: On November 10, 1938, hoodlums threw rocks and broke all the windows of our home. That same day police arrested my father and grandfather. My mother, my grandmother and I managed to hide in a shed until it was quiet. When we came out, the town's Jewish men had been taken to the Dachau concentration camp. My father and grandfather were allowed to return home a few weeks later, but that May my grandfather died of a heart attack.

1940-45: When I was 7, I was deported with my parents to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia. When we arrived, everything was taken from us, except for the clothes we wore and my doll, Marlene. Conditions in the camp were harsh. Potatoes were as valuable as diamonds. I was hungry, scared and sick most of the time. For my eighth birthday, my parents gave me a tiny potato cake with a hint of sugar; for my ninth birthday, an outfit sewn from rags for my doll; and for my tenth birthday, a poem written by my mother.
On May 8, 1945, Inge and her parents were liberated from the Theresienstadt ghetto where they had spent nearly three years. They emigrated to the United States in May 1946.

Extending Cage's Legacy, Lecture in Music Theory
Rob Haskins, Professor, University of New Hampshire
Friday, March 29, 2013, 1:25pm
Bezanson Recital Hall, UMass Amherst campus
ABOUT THE LECTURE: Since the late 1980s, many scholars have wrestled with Cage's ideas with varying results. The lecture will offer a provisional assessment of Cage's achievement, including both unjustified and justified criticism of that achievement by other scholars; it will point toward productive ways in which we can engage with and creatively extend Cage's important legacy, using theater as the principal example.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Rob Haskins, Associate Professor of Music History at the University of New Hampshire, holds a D.M.A. in harpsichord and Ph.D. in musicology from the University of Rochester, Eastman School of Music. He specializes in American music in the second half of the twentieth century, especially the music of John Cage. He has presented papers on Cage in Germany, Canada, and the U.S. His most recent book is John Cage (Reaktion Books). He recorded for Mode Records and served as musical Director for Alarm Will Sound's 2012 new production of John Cage's Song Books at the Holland Festival Abrons and River to River Festival (New York).

Charging Stations
What Is Required to Install a Level 2 Charging Station?
You must obtain an electrical permit to install a home or commercial Level 2 charging station. A building permit is also required if a concrete pad is needed. Homeowners, licensed contractors and authorized agents can obtain both permits from the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services. The fee for residential and commercial permits plus an inspection is $85.
Are There Public Charging Stations in Fairfax County?
Currently, there are only a few public charging stations in Fairfax County, but that is likely to change over the next several years. Government agencies, such as the U.S. Department Energy, are providing grants and incentives to electric vehicle equipment manufacturers, municipal governments, employers and retail businesses to install public charging stations. Even without these grants, employers and businesses are expected to begin installing charging stations to accommodate their customers and employees. Public charging station locator.

TOMORROW'S game with Oxford United is the start of a very busy period for us.
We play seven games during 24 days in February and seven in 27 during March which is quite a hectic schedule.
And while you hope to be able to get lucky and not pick up too many injuries or suspensions during that time it is very hard to have a squad able to deal with that amount of matches.
We do have a couple of additional games because of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy area final with Leyton Orient but all of the teams are in a similar situation with a congested fixture list.
It's all because the season has suddenly been brought forward to finish in April for some reason and I personally think it's absolutely crazy.
We'll be going for it the best we can and we pride ourselves on the levels of fitness we have in our squad.
We do a lot of work on it and we've won quite a few matches late on this season which proves we have been getting that side of things right.
That will be of benefit in the next couple of months and hopefully in the game against Oxford tomorrow too.
We've already played them twice this season, losing one and drawing the other before winning that tie in the JPT on penalties but I do still feel like we owe them one.
We played very, very well against them in the second half the last time we played there and I hope we can carry that on tomorrow because we have to start making Roots Hall a harder place to come.
We've won five times at home this season and that's the lowest number out of any team in top half of the table so it's something we need to improve.
The remaining matches we have at our own ground will have a huge say on how successful our season is so we do need to start picking up more points there.
We're going in to it full of confidence after winning a hard game at Chesterfield last weekend and I think that's given everyone a lift.
We also have a few players coming back in to contention and it's been great to have Britt Assombalonga training with us again.
He's actually been out for quite some time now but if you look at the results when he doesn't play then it's clear to see how influential he is to the side.
But we need to think carefully about how to use him and when to bring him back.
I would think he will be involved in some capacity on Saturday but I have up until tomorrow morning to think things through.
Our new signing Caolan Lavery has had a slight hamstring injury which needs checking and so has Marc Laird.
You have to be very careful with those kind of injuries though because if we bring them back too soon then they could be out again for even longer so there's certainly plenty to be thinking about when it comes to picking the team this weekend.
THERE has been plenty of speculation surrounding Gavin Tomlin's future in the last few days but all I will say is that it would take a very big bid for us to even consider letting him leave.
We're trying to get promotion and letting our top goalscorer depart would just make no sense at all.
He is out of contract at the end of the season but we will be offering him a new one and hope he stays.
But if he decides to go then we'll shake him by the hand and wish him all the best.

Round Trip
Dir: Meyar Al Roumi. Syria-UAE-France-Germany-Egypt. 2012. 73mins
A beautifully shot and engagingly acted romance, Round Trip follows the relationship between Damascus taxi driver Walid (Ammar Haj Ahmad) and his love Souhaire (Alexandra Kahwagi) as they forsake stolen moments in his car for a train journey to the Syrian capital of Tehran.
Round Trip is an engagingly assembled tale of forbidden love.
The impressive Alexandra Kahwagi received a special mention at the Dubai International Film Festival for her performance as the feisty and determined Souhaire Al-Gazi, a young woman desperate to be with her love, but caught within the constraints of society.
The young couple snatch moments together in his taxicab, but when she is due visit family in Tehran he embraces the moment and buys train tickets. As the sun sets over the striking countryside they flirt and find excuses to visit each others compartment (they couldn't book one to share as they aren't married) before finally sharing tenderly passionate moments.
Writer/director Meyar Al Roumi makes great use of the shuddering train as a great location, with the scenery – glimpsed through the train windows – a powerful and entrancing backdrop. They are aided in their secret liaisons by the train's guard, who helps them at frontier points.
Round Trip is an engagingly assembled tale of forbidden love, with Alexandra Kahwagi especially good as a young woman desperate to be with the one she loves. Their moments of intimacy together are subtly shot, and while never explicit the film makes it clear that this couple have slept together. Gentle, tender and at times quite lovely, it is a fine feature debut from Meyar Al Roumi.

OLYMPIC legacy funding worth £7.5m is coming to Bucks schools to help pupils enjoy PE – and now an upcoming summit will mean teachers have the chance to learn how best to use the cash.
The Bucks and MK Primary PE Conference is being held on February 12 at Stoke Mandeville Stadium with the aim of helping schools decide how to effectively use the Government funding.
Each primary school in the country is being given approximately £9,000 per annum for the next three years from the Government's primary sports premium. The scheme is designed to build on the legacy of the 2012 London Games by helping primary schools deliver PE and sport.
The Stoke Mandeville conference, organised by Bucks Sport in association with local partners, is now open to 180 delegates from the county's schools, with extra places for head teachers and businesses.
Schools can bring a headteacher or governor for free with one fee paying delegate. Ofsted says active participation from Governors is vital to a good assessment and taking part here will help Governors understand how to support staff.
All delegates will have the opportunity to have their photograph taken with a Sochi Paralympic Torch as part of the build up to the Paralympic Flame celebrations at the beginning of March.
Sally Mapley, School Engagement Manager for Bucks Sport, described the conference as a 'unique portal' for primary school teachers to come and meet each other. She said: "There's no other way of getting so many primary schools together in one place.
"This is a fantastic local chance to learn about the new ways of spending the funding that is coming into schools and make the best use of the opportunity that is going to be there for primaries over the next three years."
Ian Barham, manager of Bucks Legacy, reminded businesses to get involved: "The event is also a way of helping local Bucks companies connect with and support schools in delivering a better-value PE offer.
"There are 279 primaries in Bucks and, at £9,000 per year, the funding offer works out to £7.5m, so this conference is a great way of showing schools how to spend this money as wisely as possible and wherever possible also support local business."
Conference attendees will enjoy a series of workshops led PE experts and keynote speakers will be Annette Montague, Assistant Director of the Youth Sport Trust and Krys Kuzminska, head of Newton Longville School.
Schools or businesses interested in booking a place should contact Gemma Herbert at Bucks Sport firstname.lastname@example.com tel 01296 585215 http://www.buckssport.org/

Results 21 to 24 of 24
It's limited, and up to the app developer to choose to use it (or choose to update to support it, for those apps that were around before the update, some apps still don't even support the "save and quit" behavior from iOS3). The reason for all this is that Apple didn't want to go full multitasking for everything because it's actually exceedingly hard on the battery, which is why the iPad has such great battery life, and also why when you jailbreak one and switch on full multitasking it drains the battery in half the time.

I feel like I live in a different universe. I've never spent as much on a gaming rig as an iPad is worth!
That's why to me they seem like a massive rip off. As they cost more than a 'proper' computer so it's impossible to justify. Plus I've never had an issue with my smartphone that could be fixed with a bigger screen. The problem I have with it is it doesn't have a mouse and keyboard.
It costs that much because it can make games that look like this: http://www.epicgames.com/infinityblade/
While still only weighing like 10 ozs and having 12 hours worth of battery life. That kind of engineering doesn't come cheap.
Comparing your home built gaming rig full of off the shelf consumer parts to a custom engineered tablet computer is silly.

The question of iPad versus Android is really based on preference.
The iPad is the system that is marketed as a device that simply works.
It's simplistic controls both inside and outside are easy to master, however the software -although abundant- is arguably limited by it's design (no easy connectivity with other devices, no things like DLNA built in) but most software vendors made great workarounds to say the least (apps like Quickoffice Pro and their webDAV, Dropbox and Googledocs support comes into mind here).
On the other side, Apple's strict grip on the software side does make for a very sleek and accessible experience.
The Android devices shine in their customisibility and variety, there is always a device for your price bracket and preference wherether it's the powerful "Xoom The First: Beloved of Google" and the enduring and versatile EEEpad Transformer or one of the many chinapads that flood ebay and import shops.
However this variety comes at a price, the performance, consistency and general of the Operating System is usually at the mercy of the OEM which usually hold shorter maintainence cycles, make a lot of crapware for the device (remember the AV program that comes with your laptop? now imagine you can't remove it!) and sometimes delay the deployment of software upgrades.
The app selection compared to apple might be considered meager to some but the bleeding edge hardware features and easy possibility to gain superuser access to the device (along with its perks like ROM management, NES emulation) could make this the more promising of the two!
It have an Android phone and a second-generation iPad.

The only reason I can think of for Amazon not wanting to add "for Android" to the name is because they recognize that they do get customers because its the same name as Apple's. Would people really not use the store/stop using the store just because they change the name? I think this whole thing is kind of ridiculous, but I'm also not surprised that it's happening.
This lawsuit is stupid and I am not surprised Apple is the one that is doing the lawsuit.
If this really happens to people the lawsuit would not be from Apple but a class action lawsuit from Amazon's customers, it does not affect Apple what so ever!!
Just a stupid way Apple is trying to bring down competition.
BTW if Amazon is forced to change name to Appstore for Android, Apple have to use Appstore for iOS. Since you are looking out for consumers you don't want people who wants to buy Android apps to buy iOS apps either do you?
You go to the appstore that is relevant to your device, I don't know anyone who has gone to the Amazon appstore to purchase something for their iPhone, nor do I know anyone who has gone to Apples appstore to purchase something for their Kindle Fire
Appstore should a generic term for purchasing smartphone apps
It is ridiculous... Even my non techy friends know the difference. I have even said "check out this app in the app store" and they usually answer with which app store. Its become a general term. The normal consumer will know an android phone wont have the apple app store.
Apple isn't trying to bring down competition. They're trying to separate themselves from all the competitors by not letting people use their name, their look, their design. All companies try to protect their products. And believe it or not, the average user isn't tech-savvy as we are. They don't even know sites like this exist so don't try to make it seem as if Apple is some evil, greedy company when they are just trying to protect their brand and image.
Actually, I think Amazon just refuses to give in, if anyone has money to compete with Apple's lawyers, it would be either Amazon or Google. Since we have already seen Google willing to assist others in lawsuits involving Android, it may very well turn out that they have already told Amazon that they would help them, even through they are running a competing App Store. The very thought that the term App Store could be trademarked, copy righted or patented is ridiculous on it's face and I am sure that that is why Amazon is willing to stand their ground.
Additionally, Amazon also used the term for Windows and Mac apps in their download section (or at least they used to), so it would make sense to say App Store for Android.
just think about that for a moment. are we really to believe that somebody walked into a best buy store and bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 mistaking it for an iPad despite the fact that;
the box said SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1
the sales person would have to unlock a cabinet and give the the "iPad" they asked for.
that's like walking into McDonald's and thinking you were in Wendy's
besides, it was a stunt pulled by a group of iDiots trying to help apple with the lawsuit.
Because when you post this is all we here from you and do!!!!!

THE council has welcomed the launch of a new grave maintenance service by a Darwen friends group.
Under the new scheme, the Friends of Darwen Cemetery would carry out work to graves four times a year for a fee of £20.
Before the service can be signed up to, volunteers from the group will do a one-off clearance of the grave site, undertaking heavy work to ensure the grave is left in an easy to maintain state.
This will involve removing the top 5cm of soil and covering the grave space in weed control membrane and a layer of white stone chippings.
Blackburn with Darwen Council's executive member for environment Coun Faryad Hussain said: "I think this is a very good idea from the Friends of Darwen Cemetery.
"It is innovative, will be a good affordable service for relatives and will help the group get income to continue its great work.
"We are fully supportive of it. By everyone working together we can make the borough a better place. The council no longer offers a perpetuity service and there is only a very few graves still maintained under this scheme."

Hi, i've started on some Project Euler problems so I can get to learn python -- I might have a few questions about different things!
I had a question about generating prime numbers - a few of the problems so far have been about primes, so having a nice fast script would be quite useful.
I made v1, which seemed to be ok... until I needed the 10001st prime - then it took about 20 mins to crunch through to a (correct) answer
I have now coded v2, which gets to 10001st in <2 secs.
v1: Takes a 'candidate prime', checks if it is prime by checking (candidate % div == 0) against the current list of confirmed primes, primes = [2, 3, 5, 7...etc etc]". If the candidate is prime, append to primes[]; if not, take the next odd number as the new candidate (until some specified limit).
Problem: it was very slow! I guessed that, in order to loop through all the confirmed primes, when I call my isItAPrimeNumber(candidate) function, Python has to hold the *entire* list of confirmed primes[] in memory, in order to test each one... Is this correct? Using python -m profiler, it tells me all the processing time is going to this function, but not really anything more detailed.
v2: Takes the 'candidate' and simply divides by 2, 3, 5, 7, 9... etc (basically just odd numbers) until it either a) finds a divisor; or b) gets too big (sqrt of the candidate). Now, we don't hold anything in memory -- just the integer that is being used as a divisor, which is incremented by 2 at the end of each loop.
Questions: It feels like v2 is "logically inefficient" -- I shouldn't be testing 9 (= 3*3), 15 (3*5), 21 (3*7) at all, since I have already tested 3, 5 and 7...... but it must be more "computationally efficient" to simply test all the odd numbers, because the computer is faster at doing the 'stupid thing' (incrementing the divisor) than the 'smart thing' (load primes[] into memory, grab each item and use as divisors). With low numbers it probably doesn't make much difference - a lot of the odd numbers will be prime anyway. But as the range increases, we are pointlessly testing a lot of odd numbers which have prime factors themselves (altough this seems to be massively compensated for, by not having to load the massive list of primes[] into memory anyways).
Is there a 'smart way' to grab items from primes[] one at a time?? Or is that just part of the game, because of the way Python deals with list objects?
(I've been reading a bit about 'generators' but I don't really understand. It feels like this should be part of the solution, but I could be wrong. Also - i am learning python! And never really done any OOP before either!)
Thanks for reading! Hope that was relatively clear...

Such is the power of incumbency, that over the past decade no Latin American president who has run for re-election has lost. Juan Manuel Santos, re-elected Colombia's president on Sunday, has just re-confirmed that trend, although it was close. (An aside:Brazil's Dilma Rousseff and Bolivia's Evo Morales, who are also aiming for re-election this year, will be relieved.)
The clinchers for Santos, who won with 51 per cent of the vote in a presidential run-off against Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, who took 45 per cent, were threefold. All of them have implications for Santos' next term. Read more

Did you mean One-Handed Melee Weapons perhaps?
A one-handed weapon can be used in either the primary hand or the off hand. Add the wielder's Strength bonus to damage rolls for melee attacks with a one-handed weapon if it's used in the primary hand, or 1/2 his or her Strength bonus if it's used in the off hand. If a one-handed weapon is wielded with two hands during melee combat, add 1-1/2 times the character's Strength bonus to damage rolls.
An example for a one-handed weapon is the Longsword.

What's your back pocket way to put dinner together when life has been too hectic? You know those days; when there's no plan, not much fresh stuff in the refrigerator and hardly any energy left to think about cooking.
I can hear someone saying "I order takeout" – and I get that. I do too! After long days cooking for other people during my other job, there are many nights when I'm perfectly happy to leave dinner in the capable hands of Someone Else.
But there's still something a lot more satisfying about cooking at home, creating a simple meal from what's on hand. I rely on some basics to carry me through those days. I keep shrimp in the freezer, and along with a few other pantry staples – including cannellini beans, tomatoes and dried pasta or rice, dinner is served.
Defrosting the shrimp in a big bowl of water takes less than 15 minutes, and if your shrimp happen to be already peeled and deveined the rest of this recipe will take barely 15 minutes more.
Otherwise, if you're able, make cooking a collaborative effort and employ a (hungry) kitchen helper to do the peeling while you open a bottle of wine and chop some rosemary.
Rosemary will keep in your fridge for a week or more and can survive indoors as a houseplant during the colder months, which in my book makes it a staple. It's one of my favorite things in the world to smell and to cook with.
- 1 pound jumbo (16-20 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon crushed garlic (3 or 4 cloves)
- 1 red chili pepper, finely chopped
- ½ - 1 teaspoon dried chili flakes
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon each chopped fresh rosemary and Italian parsley
- 1 cup cooked or canned cannellini beans, drained
- ¼ cup canned tomato puree or passata; such as Pomi
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Toss the shrimp in a bowl with the garlic, fresh and dried chili, ½ teaspoon salt and the olive oil.
- Place a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp mixture in one layer. Cook 1 minute; turn the shrimp over and toss in the herbs and cannellini. Stir in the tomato puree and ¼ cup water; bring to a simmer cook a few more minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the butter and swirl until it melts into the sauce. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed.
- Serve hot over cooked pasta or rice.

Cheese Tortellini in Cream Sauce
27 comments:
Yummm!! I am really going to make this one.. fast and pasta. Just my thing Janet!ReplyDelete
This pasta dish looks amazing! I've made a sauce similar to yours but mixed them together to (accidentally) make a pink-looking sauce atop cooked shrimp and homemade pasta. The way you separated the sauces looks much better. I, too, use Fré wine because I don't drink alcohol. I was disappointed to find out that there is still some alcohol in the bottle, but it is still a better alternative to the real stuff. I'll be making this dish soon. Lovely!ReplyDelete
P.S. Do only women visit your blog? I notice your wrote "my dear sweet sisters".
Hi Memoria, Thank you for your kind comments. "my dear sweet sisters" is kind of an inside joke between me and some friends. I think I do have some male followers. I get a comment every now and then from one.ReplyDelete
Stumbled upon your blog and happen to be of the LDS persuasion. :) I tried this recipe last night and it was a big hit. Thank you so much. I did want to know where in the heck you found the Fre brand white wine though.ReplyDelete
If you are in Utah, you can purchase the Fre Brand at Harmon's and Pirate O's. I think Dan's Foods may have it. Not sure about Smith's because I hate them. If you are outside of Utah, try the liquor section of your grocery store.ReplyDelete
Drooling. Your fault.ReplyDelete

I am so excited about this receipe! My husband has requested tortellini every birthday of our 8 yrs together & I have NEVER made it for him! (I know, bad!) Today is our 2 yrs wedding anniversary, & I, too, have tort that we we're excited to find at Costco & had planned to serve with Alfredo-in-a-jar!(I know, I'm SO bad!) I will buy these simple ingred's on my lunch break, & when we get home from work this evening, we'll prep this awesome dish together (we love to be in the kitch togeth w/some music on) while drinking the "extra" wine (real deal!). My husband will be "WOW"-ed on our anniversay! It's gonna be a great day. Thank you!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Happy Anniversary. I hope he loves the tortellini. This sauce is SO much better than anything from a jar...personal opinion.Delete
- Anonymous4/17/12, 8:11 PM
My sixteen yr.old daughter talked me into buying four cheese tortellini,& so I used your recipe for the sauce. The only thing I substituted, was the wine. I used Marsala cooking wine, because I already had it at home. I also added mushrooms to the chicken broth, and wine. I also added some chicken(fried in 2tbl.spoon of olive oil with some Ms.Dash,garlic salt,& pepper)then thinly sliced and added on top of the pasta.Then I spooned the red sauce across the top & sprinkled the parmesan. My husband, and three children loved it. My eleven yr.old son is very picky, and he loved it! My fifteen yr.old son said if he could pick his last meal on earth, this would be it. Thank you for the help. It's rare that everyone loves what I cook for dinner!ReplyDeleteReplies
Sounds amazing!Delete
Hi Janet,ReplyDelete
Marie (Lyon) Fitzgerald here, (we grew up in Pepperwood together) anyway, I am trying out a few copy cat recipes from noodles and co that also call for white wine. I see you use the Fre brand and I have 2 questions:
1. What grocery store do you buy it at in Sandy? I live up here in Logan, UT and can't find it.
2. Do you refrigerate wine after opening? I am so lost when it comes alcohol!! :)Replies
Hi Marie!! How are you? I buy the Fre brand from Harmon's. Hmmmm I'm not sure about the Logan area. You could just go to a state liquor store and buy a Chardonnay for about $5.99. That would work as well. Unless you are uncomfortable doing that. You could just ask your local grocer if they could get some in for you. I generally find it where they have drink mixes like pina colada, etc. Kind of by the soda isle. I hope this helps. So great to hear from you.Delete
This is delicious!!! We bought fresh tortillini from the German grocery store here but I didn't know what kind of sauce to use. I did a google search and found this. I'm going to pin this if that's ok. :) can't wait to check out the rest of your blog!ReplyDeleteReplies
Pin away! This is so quick and easy. Our family favorite. Let me know what you think.Delete

This was fantastic! I am sure it is not low cal but it was so good! Thanks!Delete
Looks delicious...looking for a sauce tonight...going to try this one. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Sounds wonderful. I am trying this one tonight.ReplyDelete
If you bring the wine to a boil, the alcohol will burn off so not worry!ReplyDelete
- Gabriel12/11/12, 4:29 PM
Thanks, it's all cooked, I am waiting for my fiancé to be here within minutes, I'm sure this will be great. Thanks for this simple delicious looking recipe!ReplyDelete
Made this for dinner last night. Not only did it taste great, but my 9yo son said, "Wow, this looks like something you'd get at a restaurant!" Even my persnickety 4yo ate every bite. I used heavy raw cream from a local farm, homemade stock, and organic everything else. Served it with a loaf of farmstead brown bread and homemade sweetcream butter. It was an amazing dinner - thank you so much for the idea!ReplyDelete
Do you have any recommendations for a lighter version (something to use instead of the heavy cream)... ? And, would the results be just as delicious? This sounds divine and I think my (somewhat picky) husband would actually like it too. Thank you.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's hard to get a thick creamy sauce with milk, which would be a lighter option. My daughter has tried using skim milk, 2%, and it's pretty thin. She made a white sauce using butter, flour and milk and realized that the addition of butter made it just as fattening as the cream. I haven't tried this on this recipe, but you could make a creamy sauce with soaked raw cashews. Here is a link for a soup that uses this method that is delicious: http://www.mynewroots.org/site/2012/09/cashew-corn-chowder-with-cilantro-cream/ I should play around with this method more. It is fabulous.Delete

Had Your 'Phil' Of Winter? Find Out What The Groundhog Has To Say
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa.
It's Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil has made his prediction. He says expect an early spring.
With thousands watching on Gobbler's Knob in west-central Pennsylvania, the furry rodent emerged from his lair Saturday but didn't see his shadow.
Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last six more weeks. But if he doesn't see his shadow, spring will come early. At least that's what the Inner Circle says — the group that dons top hats and tuxedos on Groundhog Day each year to oversee the ceremony.
Inner Circle president Bill Deeley says that after "consulting" with Phil, he makes the call in deciphering what the world's most famous groundhog has to say about the weather.

Social psychology: Altruism · Attribution · Attitudes · Conformity · Discrimination · Groups · Interpersonal relations · Obedience · Prejudice · Norms · Perception · Index · Outline
Social judgment theory (SJT) is a persuasion theory proposed by Carolyn Sherif, Muzafer Sherif, and Carl Hovland.[1] According to Sherif and Sherif, Social Judgment Theory is the perception and evaluation of an idea by comparing it with current attitudes. We do this theory in our heads by weighing every new idea by comparing it with our present point of view. Basically, we hear a message and immediately judge where it should be placed on the attitude scale [2] in our own minds. SJT is the subconscious sorting out of ideas that occurs at the instant of perception.
Social Judgment Theory arose from Egon Brunswik's Probabilistic Functionalist psychology and his Lens Model which are socio-psychological theories.[3] It also comes from Judgment Theory. SJT is a theory that focuses on the internal processes of an individual's judgment with relation to a communicated message. SJT was intended to be an explanatory method designed to detail when persuasive messages are most likely to succeed. Attitude change is the fundamental objective of persuasive communication. SJT seeks to specify the conditions under which this change takes place and predict the direction and extent of the attitude change. SJT attempts to explain how likely a person might be to change their opinion, the probable direction of that change, their tolerance toward the opinion of others, and their level of commitment to their position.[4] The SJT researchers claimed expectations regarding attitude change could be based on the message receiver's level of involvement, the structure of the stimulus (and how many alternatives it allows), and the value (credibility) of the source.
Development of SJTEdit
SJT arose from social psychology and was based on laboratory findings resulting from experiments. These experiments studied the mental assessment of physical objects, referred to at the time as psychophysical research. Subjects were asked to compare some aspect of an object, such as weight or color, to another, differing object. The researchers discovered that when a standard was provided for comparison, the participants categorized the objects relative to the aspects of the standard. For example, if a very heavy object was used as the standard in assessing weight, then the other objects would be judged to be relatively lighter than if a very light object was used as the standard. The standard is referred to as an "anchor". This work involving physical objects was applied to psychosocial work, in which a participant's limits of acceptability on social issues are studied.[5][6] Social issues include areas such as religion and politics.
Judgment process and attitudesEdit
Rooted in judgment theory, which is concerned with the discrimination and categorization of stimuli, it attempts to explain how attitudes are expressed, judged, and modified.[7] A judgment occurs when a person compares at least two stimuli and makes a choice about them. With regard to social stimuli specifically, judgment processes incorporate both past experiences and present circumstances.[8] Sherif et al. (1965) defined attitudes as "the stands the individual upholds and cherishes about objects, issues, persons, groups, or institutions" (p. 4).[6] Researchers must infer attitudes from behavior. The behavior can be in response to arranged or naturally-occurring stimuli.[5][9] True attitudes are fundamental to self-identity, are complex, and thus can be difficult to change. One of the ways in which the SJT developers observed attitudes was through the Own Categories Questionnaire. This method requires research participants to place statements into piles of most acceptable, most offensive, neutral, and so on, in order for researchers to infer their attitudes. This categorization, an observable judgment process, was seen by Sherif and Hovland (1961) as a major component of attitude formation.[5] As a judgment process, categorization and attitude formation are a product of recurring instances so that past experiences influence decisions regarding aspects of the current situation. Therefore, attitudes are acquired.[6]
Latitudes of rejection, acceptance, and noncommitmentEdit
Social Judgment Theory also illustrates how people compare their personal positions on issues to other people's positions. Individuals hold both a personal position on an issue and latitudes of what they think is acceptable or unacceptable in general for other people.[4] Social attitudes are not cumulative, especially regarding issues where the attitude is extreme.[6] This means a person may not agree with less extreme stands relative to his/her position, even though they may be in the same direction. Furthermore, even though two people may seem to hold identical attitudes, their "most preferred" and "least preferred" alternatives may differ. Thus, a person's full attitude can only be understood in terms of what other positions he/she finds acceptable (or not) in addition to his/her own stand.[9] Sherif saw an attitude as amalgam of three zones or latitudes. There is the latitude of acceptance which is the range of ideas that a person sees as a reasonable or worthy of consideration, the latitude of rejection, which is the range of ideas that a person sees as unreasonable or objectionable, and finally the Latitude of noncomitment which is the range of ideas that a person sees as neither acceptable nor questionable.[10]
These degrees or latitudes together create the full spectrum of an individual's attitude. Sherif and Hovland (1961) define the latitude of acceptance "as the range of positions on an issue ... an individual considers acceptable to him (including the one 'most acceptable' to him)" (p. 129). On the opposite of the continuum lies the latitude of rejection. This is defined as including the "positions he finds objectionable (including the one 'most objectionable" to him)".[5] This latitude of rejection was deemed essential by the SJT developers in determining an individual's level of involvement and thus his/her propensity to an attitude change. The greater the rejection latitude, the more involved the individual is in the issue and thus is harder to persuade. In the middle of these opposites lies the latitude of noncommitment, a range of viewpoints where one feels primarily indifferent. Sherif claimed that the greater the discrepancy, the more hearers will adjust their attitudes. Thus, the message that persuades the most is the one that is most discrepant from the listener's position yet falls within his or her latitude of acceptance or latitude of noncommitment.[10]
These degrees of latitude together are very useful when your goal is to persuade someone. If you can judge their latitude of acceptance, rejection, noncommittment or anchor you can better craft your message to move their opinion along the line closer to your goal.
Assimilation and contrastEdit
Sometimes people perceive a message that falls within their latitude of rejection as farther from their anchor than they really are. This is called Contrast. The opposite of Contrast is Assimilation, and that is a perceptual error whereby people judge messages that fall within their latitude of acceptance as less discrepant from their anchor than they really are.[10] These latitudes dictate the likelihood of assimilation and contrast. When a discrepant viewpoint is expressed in a communication message within the person's latitude of acceptance, the message is more likely to be assimilated or viewed as being closer to person's anchor, or own viewpoint, than it actually is. When the message is perceived as being very different from one's anchor and thus falling within the latitude of rejection, persuasion is unlikely due to a contrast effect. The contrast effect is what happens when the message is viewed as being further away than it actually is from the anchor. Messages falling within the latitude of noncommitment, however, are the ones most likely to achieve the desired attitude change. Therefore, the more extreme stand individual has, the greater his/her latitude of rejection and thus the harder he/she is to persuade.[citation needed]
Ego involvementEdit
It was speculated by the SJT researchers that extreme stands, and thus wide latitudes of rejection, were a result of high ego-involvement.[11] Ego involvement is the importance or centrality of an issue to a person's life, often demonstrated by membership in a group with a known stand. According to the 1961 Sherif and Hovland work, the level of ego-involvement depends upon whether the issue "arouses an intense attitude or, rather, whether the individual can regard the issue with some detachment as primarily a 'factual' matter" (p. 191). Religion, politics, and family are examples of issues that typically result in highly involved attitudes; they contribute to one's self-identity.[6]
The concept of involvement is the crux of SJT. In short, Sherif et al. (1965) speculated that individuals who are highly involved in an issue are more likely to evaluate all possible positions, therefore resulting in an extremely limited or nonexistent latitude of noncommitment. People who have a deep concern or have extreme opinions on either side of the argument always care deeply and have a large latitude of rejection because they already have their strong opinion formed and usually aren't willing to change that. High involvement also means that individuals will have a more restricted latitude of acceptance. According to SJT, messages falling within the latitude of rejection are unlikely to successfully persuade. Therefore, highly involved individuals will be harder to persuade per SJT. In opposition, individuals who have less care in the issue, or have a smaller ego involvement, are likely to have a large latitude of acceptance. Because they are less educated and do not care as much about the issue, they are more likely to accept more ideas or opinions about an issue easily. This individual will also have a large latitude of noncommitment because again, if they do not care as much about the topic, they are not going to commit to certain ideas whether they are on the latitude of rejection or acceptance. Lastly, an individual who does not have much ego involvement in an issue will have a small latitude of rejection because they are very open to this new issue and do have opinions previously formed about it.[5][6]
Attitude changeEdit
Template:Copy edit To change an attitude, the first step is to judge how close or far away one's position is. The next step is to shift one's position in response to the argument made. We adjust an attitude once we have judged a new position to be in our latitude of acceptance. If we judge that message to be in our latitude of rejection, we will also adjust our attitude, but in the opposite direction from what we think the speaker is advocating.[12] Sometimes an attitude change may be incidental. In the boomerang effect, an attitude changes in the opposite direction from what the message advocates - the listener is driven away from rather than drawn to an idea. A major implication of social judgment theory is that persuasion is difficult to accomplish. Successful persuasive messages are those that are targeted to the receiver's latitude of acceptance and discrepant from the anchor position, so that the incoming information cannot be assimilated or contrasted. The receiver's ego-involvement must also be taken into consideration. This suggests that even successful attempts at persuasion will yield only small changes in attitude.[7]

In a town with plenty of glitzy, this cozy restaurant is a welcome relief. It's chilled out and packed with locals. Not to miss: the calamari, simply prepared with garlic and (local, of course) olive oil.

Pizza's probably not the first food that comes to mind when you're visiting France, but this homey restaurant is where St. Tropez residents come, and it really is delicious. And, this being St. Tropez, the pizza topped with local seafood is a menu standout.

text: Gaiiden 5710 Report post Posted April 17, 2013 I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts on what we should do with articles that are more opinionated than functional. We tried posting one that was highly opinion-based and it was voted down and out in a matter of hours. However it was featured on Gamasutra the same day - but in this case "featured" meant that while it was on the front page of the site in the news feed, ultimately the content was from their blogs section. I've recently posted up another work that has an opinionated slant to it - Why I'll Never Work on First-Person Shooters Again - and while it's been received better so far, already comments have sprung up about its proper place on the site. To keep the comments of the article focused on the article itself, I have created this thread to further discuss the issue. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More than 200 people showed up at South Coast Plaza on Thursday to be first to buy the Marni for H&M collection, which is available in O.C. exclusively at the shopping center. Or should we say "was available?"
As of 10 a.m., the entire store inventory of the women's capsule collection was gone and there were only a handful of men's blazers and pants on a small rack.
Clyde Tsai, 26, of Taiwan, said she timed her Southern California vacation so that it would coincide with the Marni for H&M event. Tsai showed up at 8 p.m. on the day before with boyfriend Kevin Shue, 28, of Rosemead outside South Coast Plaza's glass doors to be the first two in line. "We brought blankets, pillows, food and hand sanitizer," Shue said, of their camp-out preparations. They each had a color printout of wish-list items, such as tops, shoes, accessories and bags, that they said were for themselves and their friends. Her list had 40 items, his, 20.
At 8:20 a.m. Thursday, Tsai and Kevin emerged with about a dozen translucent H&M shopping bags. Together, they spent about $2,000 in less that 20 minutes but Tsai said she wasn't able to get all the items she wanted for herself.
Shoppers, who were permitted to enter in groups of 30, were allowed to shop for a limited period – about 15 minutes – during the early bird event, to enable others waiting in line after them for a shot at the collection.
Andrea Ovesen, 39, of Rancho Santa Margarita, was third in line, and said she allotted $1,000 for her shopping spree. "I've had my eye on the necklaces, the Bauhaus jacket and the leather cardigan," she said. "I put (this event) on my calendar three months ago…everyone thought I was crazy for coming here last night (at 8 p.m.)"
When she emerged with shopping bags about 20 minutes after entering the store, she said she spent about $600. "I got whatever I could," she said.
Jane Bower, 55, of Laguna Beach, who owns items from the high-end Marni label, came with her son's girlfriend, Teressa Foglia, 24, of Balboa Island. "I love Marni," Bower said. "It's avant-garde and has great prints and colors." Bower planned to get a shirt, a cardigan and the matching skirt, among other things, while Foglia intended to go for the silk items.
Store officials declined to comment on how much merchandise was sold. Although the store will not be replenished with a fresh inventory of Marni for H&M goods, returns are expected beginning Friday through the next 10 days, so shoppers who weren't able to buy any Marni for H&M items may still have opportunities to find them. Returns are expected to be made at the two H&M stores in South Coast Plaza, including the location in the Macy's Home Store/Crate and Barrel wing.
As customers eyed others in line, there was grumbling about possible "eBayers" in the crowd, referring to people who buy the merchandise only for the purpose of putting them on sale on eBay. As of 1:30 p.m. on eBay, there were 50 pages worth of Marni for H&M goods, some marked up by more than 300 percent. The sleeveless maxi dress that cost $129 at the store? $350 on eBay.

ONE of Worcester's best-known politicians is embroiled in a "conflict of interest" row surrounding huge cuts to trading standards in the county.
Councillor Lucy Hodgson, a former city mayor, was elected to Worcestershire County Council last year and now sits in the Conservative cabinet.
The high-flier is also chairman of a special committee which oversees Worcestershire Regulatory Services, the county's version of trading standards which tackles issues like dodgy restaurants, crooked off-licenses and 'Del Boy' style market sellers.
This year the money it is getting from the county council plunged by £700,000, taking it to a record low of just over £1 million.
Cllr Hodgson's cabinet role, called 'localism and communities', includes oversight for trading standards.
The Conservative leadership at County Hall is looking to save around £100 million by 2018 by slashing its spending.
During a full council meeting, Labour politician Councillor Richard Udall said: "Should she actually be doing both roles, is there not a conflict of interest here?
"Trading standards is facing big cuts to its budget, cuts she caused as the cabinet member.
"You can't cut one day and then protest about it the next."
During the criticism Cllr Hodgson admitted she had been asked about a potential conflict of interest "on a number of occasions", but defended her position.
The chairmanship of the joint committee overseeing Worcestershire Regulatory Services expires annually, meaning she will step down in June for someone else to take over.
She said: "Clash of interest? It's a question that has been asked of me on a number of occasions, and the answer is no there isn't.
"At no time have I said my role has been compromised (at the county council), I see them as going side-by-side. I have no problems in that role."
During the debate she also won support from Conservative Councillor Marc Bayliss, who said the budget is "set by full council" rather than individuals.
The council wants to reduce the funding it gives Worcestershire Regulatory Services 85 per cent by 2017, by which time it will be just £250,000.
The body, which also gets funding from the six district councils in Worcestershire, has a budget of around £3 million.
Its activities extend as far as tackling noisy neighbours, keeping a register of small traders and awareness of doorstep crime.

The fascinating flower
Orchid show this weekend at Enjoy Centre will wow everyone
Wednesday, Apr 02, 2014 06:00 am
For an explosion of colour that also promises to be a sensory delight for all, it�s going to be hard to beat the Orchid Society of Alberta�s annual show, which takes place this weekend at Hole�s Enjoy Centre.
For the $10 price of admission, visitors to the Orchid Fair will be able to see hundreds of species of orchids which breeders and vendors will display, including exotic species from Japan, Ecuador, Columbia, Florida and Taiwan as well as from across Canada. In addition, local members of the Orchid Society will have their own showiest blooms entered into the orchid show for judging.
�We have 500 orchids entered for judging. The judges are from the American Orchid Society, � said Orchid Fair chairman Darrell Albert.
This is the 37th annual orchid fair for the Orchid Society of Alberta but it has grown considerably in size, and the move to the Enjoy Centre this year will accommodate that growth. In recent years the show took place in the Grant MacEwan University gymnasium.
�The Enjoy Centre is a quantum leap for us in terms of esthetics, especially because the entire roof is glass, but it also has shade cloth available. That will be better for those orchids that don�t like direct sunlight, � Albert said.
Half the available space in the Enjoy Centre�s Moonflower Room will be dedicated for use by Orchid Society members. The remaining space will be allocated for international vendors and there will be thousands of plants to see, including some very rare ones, which originated in Japan.
This year the Orchid Society invited Terry Kowalczuk of Toronto to bring species from his rare Japanese orchid collection. Kowalczuk, owner of Flora Peculia, specializes in growing Fukiran neofinetia orchids.
�Some blossoms may be as small as a dime. Some have delicate, white flowers with long protrusions, as if the flowers are doing jumping jacks. Others may have massive blooms,� said Liz Lepper, of Bottom Line Productions, the firm that is helping to publicize the Orchid Society�s show.
Fukiran orchids have a long, romantic history, Lepper explained, that dates back to the 1600s to a Japanese shogun named Ienari Tokugawa.
�Fukiran is an orchid species native to Japan. It is steeped in a rich tradition of collecting, which started in Japan�s Edo era from 1603 to 1868. They were generally reserved for the extremely wealthy, and the shogunate in particular. Some of these orchids cost as much as a house,� Lepper said.
Lepper explained that members of the Japanese nobility would seek out mutated fukiran to present to the shogun as gifts.
�Appreciation of a fukiran was an interesting event. The shogun would have a gold or silver net covering the fukiran. To look at them, one would use the same procedure as looking at a samurai sword.�
Even today, these orchids are hard to come by and according to Kowalczuk�s website, www.florapeculia.ca, there can be a 10-year-long waiting list for most of the rare varieties. Perhaps for that reason, it�s unclear whether the rarest Japanese orchids will be on display this weekend, but Albert stressed at the very least, one or two local growers will have some of these exotic plants for the public to see.
�We are still hopeful that Flora Peculia will bring some plants. They are very high end � some range up to $2,500 or $3,000 � but there are also Japanese orchids in the more affordable range. I have one I paid $40 for and I�ll stick one out in my display,� Albert said.
Albert�s Japanese orchid isn�t presently in bloom, but for hobbyists who grow these strange plants, flowers aren�t everything.
�For some of these Japanese orchids, flowering is inconsequential. They are judged by the colour of their roots or the variegation of their leaves,� he said.
Japanese orchids may or may not be a rare sight this weekend at the fair, but there will be plenty of unusual varieties to see and to learn about.
Some will be as easy to grow as a windowsill violet, but others require special humidity and light conditions to make them thrive.
�In nature, some orchids live in a cloud forest and only thrive in a controlled environment. Before you try growing them, you should talk to the vendors because otherwise, you could take it home, and it might die in two days,� Albert said.
Beginners are welcomed, Albert said, and a number of hour-long free seminars are planned to take place both Saturday and Sunday starting at 11 a.m. and running through until 3 p.m. The seminars will be presented by acclaimed growers from Alberta and beyond, with topics ranging from the very basics of orchid growing to the intricate details involved in American Orchid Society judging.
The Orchid Fair takes place at Hole�s Enjoy Centre April 4, from noon to 8 p.m.; April 5, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and April 6, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For a complete listing of vendors or for more information about the Orchid Society of Alberta, please visit www.orchidsalberta.com.

Lindstrom returning for series against Giants
SEATTLE -- Matt Lindstrom threw a scoreless inning against Pawtucket on Saturday night, allowing one hit and striking out one, during his injury rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. The right-hander made five appearances in testing the surgically repaired tendon sheath in his left ankle that has had him sidelined since May 19, and that apparently was enough to convince the White Sox he's ready to return.
Following Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners, the White Sox optioned left-handed reliever Eric Surkamp to Charlotte. They activated Lindstrom, who was injured in a game against the Royals, prior to Tuesday night's game in San Francisco.
"Lindy's ready to come off," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "He's been throwing good, so that's the move."
This move leaves the White Sox without a left-hander in the bullpen, most likely until September callups. But Ventura was somewhat blunt in his assessment as to why the White Sox chose that particular direction.
"You can have a lefty down there just to have a lefty, or you go with guys who are doing it," Ventura said.
Surkamp finished with a 7.11 ERA after retiring Dustin Ackley in the seventh inning Sunday. But he also allowed only 3-of-18 inherited runners to score and limited first batters to two hits in 16 at-bats. Left-handed hitters were 4-for-24 vs. Surkamp but with three homers.

Fylde closed the gap on divisional leaders Caldy to four points with this maximum points win.
Fylde made a flying start in what were ideal conditions for running rugby.
It took them almost 10 minutes to set their sights on the Bradford try line but in the next 20 they cut loose.
After nine minutes fly-half Steve Nutt moved the ball left and centre Mike Waywell doubled around to set winger Oliver Brennand free wide out. He shot past his opposite number Liam Frost and cut back inside another three defenders to score a superb trademark try. Nutt's attempted conversion drifted wide.
On 17 minutes, Nutt moved the ball right and Waywell slipped through the smallest of gaps to pass to Jordan Davies, playing on the wing. He made the corner despite a despairing covering tackle by a Bees' defender. Nutt again missed the conversion, this time from the touchline.
Ten minutes later, from a scrummage 30 metres out from the Bees' try line, Fylde scrum-half Craig Aikman broke through the visitors' defence and turned on the afterburners for a beautiful try. Nutt converted well and Fylde had a 17-0 lead.
Fylde were dominating possession in the line-out and tight exchanges and the Bradford scrum was being pushed backwardss while Steve Nutt's clever kicks caused the Bees defence all kinds of problems.
A minute before the break Nutt extended Fylde's lead to 20-0 with a penalty kick.
Fylde introduced new prop signing, Welsh Under 21 player Ross Davies, early in the second half. He soon made his presence felt with a muscular run up the middle, brushing tacklers off with ease.
Bradford reduced the deficit with a penalty before Fylde hit back with an attack down the right. Nutt chipped for the right corner once again with inch perfect accuracy and Jordan Davies picked up short of the try line and plunged over. Nutt converted beautifully from the touchline and Fylde were good for their 27-3 lead.
The Fylde pack, which had been dominating matters, started to lose momentum and made mistakes as Fylde were forced to defend on their own line.
Bradford gained a late consolation try in the last minute of normal time.
Fylde have no match this weekend.

Wow. That may be a bargain though, compared to what he might have commanded in a couple of years from now. Great news!
Wow. That may be a bargain though, compared to what he might have commanded in a couple of years from now. Great news!
If my figures and RZ's running tally are correct, that leaves $97,800 for over slot offers.
Good news- now let's get Gelalich signed and hopefully playing in Dayton.
Go BLUE!!!
If they sign the remaining guys that were in college postseason (Gelalich, Amaral, Mejias-Brean, Boyd, Matthews) and possibly Housey and then add Ortiz - I'll be ecstatic. Ortiz is the one remaining HS guy where I wouldn't mind them spending a little over capa.

Draft Signings: Kivel, Reynolds
By Mike Axisa [June 25 at 8:13pm CST]
Let's keep track of the day's notable non-first and supplemental first round draft signings here, with the latest up top...
Baseball America's Jim Callis tweets that the Reds have signed tenth round pick Jeremy Kivel for a $500K bonus -- well above the slot recommendation of $125K. Kivel, a high school right-hander out of Texas, can throw his heater at 95 mph but missed most of this season due to a torn ACL.
This great draft just keeps looking better.
Chris Buckley said on Dragons radio Monday that one UCLA guy would sign Tuesday and the other by week's end.
Good news. Billings is winning, but they need some more offense. Did Buckley say anything about how/when Travieso would be used this summer?Chris Buckley said on Dragons radio Monday that one UCLA guy would sign Tuesday and the other by week's end.

For the Reds three remaining picks in the first 10 rounds, they can afford to go a total of $8,100 over the slot allotment without incurring penalties. They're really cutting it close.
Get MLBtraderumors Reds updates on Facebook.
The only one I really care about is Gelalich.
I'm sure Amaral and Mejias will sign, but I want to be sure they get Gelalich in the fold. From Buckley's comments on Dayton radio, it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem.
Go BLUE!!!

Celebrate National Chip and Dip Day!by Victoria Phillips in Healthy Recipes, March 23, 2012
America's favorite snack duo has its own holiday, and that day is today. Crunchy chips and creamy dip can be part of a healthy eating plan, but not all chips are created equal. Skip the store-bought stuff full preservatives and lots of sodium by making your own at home.
At only 60 calories per 2 cup serving, Ellie's Smoky Kale Chips from Food Network Magazine take nothing more than kale, paprika, salt, olive oil and an oven. Pop the kale in for 15 minutes and this leafy green vegetable transforms into a crisp chip. Make sure to only cook until the edges are slightly brown — any longer and the chips take on a bitter taste.
Baked Cracked Pepper Potato Chips taste even better dipped in cool Onion Dip. Try Ellie's version (pictured above) and cut calories by using Greek yogurt as the base for this creamy spread.
Try your hand at homemade Chili Tortilla Chips and salsa instead of opting for the restaurant version. The flavor of baked corn tortillas is kicked up a notch with chili powder and cayenne, and Emeril's Classic Salsa also packs heat with minced jalapeno. Don't forget the chopped cilantro for added Tex-Mex flavor.
Making hummus at home is as easy as turning on the food processor. Chickpeas, tahini and parsley come together in a Green Herb Hummus that's light and refreshing. Serve with Ellie's Spiced Pita Chips for a crunchy treat.

Guardian Angel Bags
The cost of the bag shouldn't fool you. The reward comes when you're carrying this around, an unsuspecting criminal is about to mug you but sees the form of a gun or knife in your purse will surely think twice. (Gun/knife image is real but doesn't include actual said item.) One word of caution though: I wouldn't recommend carrying this on a plane. Leave this purse at home.

The Massachusetts Trial Court will lose the ability to both
deliver justice and ensure security within their walls if the
Legislature does not approve adequate funding for fiscal 2013. That
was the message delivered by court leaders and lawyers at a Court
Advocacy Day hosted by the Massachusetts Bar Association and the
Boston Bar Association at the Grand Staircase of the Statehouse on
March 19.
"Losing more than 17 percent of court personnel directly affects
our ability or deliver justice in ways that are all too familiar to
you and your colleagues," Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice
Roderick L. Ireland said. "Inadequate funding has made access to
justice all the more harder."
The Trial Court Department is asking for $593.9 million in
"critical funding" it needs to preserve the integrity of the
courts. Gov. Deval L. Patrick recommended level funding the courts
when he released his state budget proposal in late January. The
House and Senate will start debating the budgets in April and May,
"Our message today is pretty simple… supporting the courts
request for $593 million is essential," MBA President Richard P.
Campbell said.
Following the speaking program, attendees met with their local
legislators to emphasize the need for $593.9 million in
Court Advocacy Day complements the Massachusetts Bar
Association's comprehensive public awareness campaign on
underfunded courts. In addition to a statewide billboard campaign
on this topic, the MBA has posted videos on YouTube and conducted
outreach to members of the legal community and other key community
leaders and groups. All stress the importance of adequately funding
the state's third branch of government. For more information on the
March 19 event or the MBA's overall campaign on underfunded courts,
