But as he embarked on the assignment, Stone found even his clout couldn't ease the clashing priorities, tense negotiations and healthy dose of populist rhetoric that characterized discussions about the joint city and university project. The Palo Alto Times observed in a retrospective article that "there must have been times in the next two years when Stone, one of the country's best-known architects, wished he had never heard of Stanford and Palo Alto.
"As soon as design was underway, a series of complicated feuds developed between Stanford and the city, Stanford and local doctors, 'contract doctors' who supplied specialized service to the hospital and the city, and between individual Stanford doctors and individual Palo Alto doctors in the same specialties," the article stated. "All this ill feeling periodically erupted into the open, both at city council meetings and at staff meetings of Stanford men."
Stone's frustration probably seems familiar to those who've followed Stanford's crawl on the bumpy path to city approval of the university's latest hospital-redevelopment plan. The $3 billion "Renewal Project" entails as its two main components expansions of Stanford Hospital and Clinics and the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. In early 2009, tempers flared when the City Council and various Palo Alto commissions debated the types of amenities Stanford should be asked to provide in exchange for the negative consequences of building what is repeatedly referred to as "the largest project in Palo Alto's history."
Former Vice Mayor Jack Morton accused Stanford of "playing dirty" in its stance that, because improved local health care would benefit the community, the city could exempt the project from various development requirements. He compared the university to a "medieval Duchy" in a pamphlet he wrote in his final months on the council.
Planning commissioners argued that the added traffic from the Stanford project would overwhelm Palo Alto's already crowded roads, and Councilwoman Yoriko Kishimoto called for a policy that would guarantee no additional traffic as a result of the hospitals' expansions. Then-Mayor Peter Drekmeier said the university should build at least some housing for the hospitals' 2,242 new employees.
Stanford responded by scrapping its concurrent plan to expand the Stanford Shopping Center and build a hotel, a project component that Palo Alto officials had hoped would bolster the city's dwindling revenues. In a letter explaining the withdrawal of the mall expansion, Stanford stated that the shopping-center project distracted the community and the council from the critical priority of rebuilding the hospitals, which under state law have to be seismically retrofitted by 2013.
But now, with the deadline looming and the first round of concerns aired, the most serious bickering appears to have abated and the two sides say they are closer to moving forward on the expansion proposal. That can be attributed in part to turnover on the council, which swore in four new members in January, and to an initial show of community support.
Mayor Pat Burt also set the tone for improved relations in March in his State of the City speech, in which he expressed "hope that we are moving toward a period of a stronger and mutually beneficial relationship between Stanford and Palo Alto." He said he would like the city to reach a decision on the application this year. He spoke of the city's "shared vision" with Stanford and praised the hospital plans for their "innovative and sustainable design."
Last month, the approval process hit a major milestone when the city released the highly anticipated and much delayed Draft Environmental Impact Report, which analyzes the project's impacts on everything from housing and traffic to climate change and the nesting habits of the Cooper hawk.
The nearly 6-pound document has launched a fresh wave of public hearings and negotiations between Palo Alto and Stanford. The council and the Planning and Transportation Commission are now in the midst of chapter-by-chapter reviews of the impact report — a process that entails 11 public hearings.
Concurrently, city officials are negotiating with Stanford on a development agreement, a contract that would allow Stanford to exceed the city's regulations in exchange for public benefits, which may or may not relate to impacts of the project's construction.
Deputy City Manager Steve Emslie spoke in glowing terms at the May 24 council meeting about the pending development-agreement negotiations. The city has "really turned the corner in having entered into a much more collaborative process with Stanford," Emslie said. Talks are "moving in the right direction."
The 1.3 million square feet of new medical-center development, in some way or another, touches on each of the council's 2010 priorities for Palo Alto — economic/financial health; environmental sustainability; emergency preparedness; land-use and transportation planning; and collaboration for youth well-being.
Because of that, city officials still fret about the potential traffic, visual and noise impacts of the project (see sidebar). But the council's initial laundry list of possible benefits has shrunk. Stanford, for its part, has offered its own concessions, recently agreeing to modify its proposal to protect more trees and to build bike connections and pedestrian paths between the hospitals and the downtown transit center — elements that make the giant package easier for Palo Alto to swallow.
Jean McCown, former Palo Alto mayor who now serves as assistant vice president at Stanford University, told the Weekly that she also feels the two sides are now on a better path. McCown said she was concerned about what she called the city's "open-ended approach" last year. She recalled a list of about 100 items that the city compiled to prepare for its negotiations on the development agreement. Aside from the usual development fees, the list included hundreds of housing units, a new police station, a water-detention basin for the San Francisquito Creek and dozens of other benefits that bore little or no relation to the hospital.
"The council kind of opened up the floodgates and said, 'Let's just throw anything on that list,'" McCown said. "It had just about anything they could throw in there.
"I thought this was an unprincipled way to approach this."
The list has narrowed considerably since, though it still includes some items of dispute, including the police building. The council is now taking a more "constructive approach," she said.
"I feel like we're on a much better track now," McCown said.
Former Palo Alto Mayor Bern Beecham, who is now a leading advocate of the Stanford expansion, attributed the change to the new council. He said he believes the previous council's "arrogance" and "irrational demands" prompted Stanford to abandon the shopping-center component of the project, a component that he, as a councilman, helped convince Stanford to add to the application.
The new council members — Karen Holman, Gail Price, Greg Scharff and Nancy Shepherd — aren't exactly cheerleaders for the project, but their focus thus far has been on the details of the Draft Environmental Impact Report, not on sweeping goals like "net-zero car trips" or the philosophical differences between Stanford and Palo Alto.
Beecham called the new council "more pragmatic and more realistic" so far when it comes to the hospital expansion.
Even with the governance changes, the project still faces considerable obstacles. Under Stanford's proposal, the main hospital building would be 130 feet tall, far exceeding the city's 50-foot height limit. It also poses a direct challenge to Palo Alto's Comprehensive Plan, a central land-use document that has set a cap of 3.26 million square feet for nonresidential development.
The impact report proposes the city amend its Comprehensive Plan to create a "hospital zone" specifically for this project — a proposal that worried planning commissioners Susan Fineberg and Arthur Keller. Earlier this month, Fineberg said the city needs to explore all the unintended consequences of the proposed zone, including other projects and other parts of the city where the new designation could potentially pop up in the future.
Other residents expressed reservations or outrage about the hospital expansion. Michael Griffin, a former planning commissioner, said he was concerned about traffic and argued that the new environmental report doesn't analyze the impact sufficiently.
Councilman Greg Schmid, likewise, has derided the models used in the impact study to measure traffic and housing impacts as "faulty and biased" and advocated for some kind of a guarantee that the project won't create new costs for the city.
Land-use watchdog Bob Moss has repeatedly blasted the proposed height of the new hospital and urged the council to demand shorter buildings.
At the June 2 planning commission hearing, Moss claimed that the hospital's 130-foot height would make it difficult for firefighters combating blazes at the facility. He argued that if other hospitals can build facilities shorter than 100 feet tall, Stanford should be able to do it, too.
The height and mass of the project could create procedural hurdles for Stanford, particularly as development-agreement negotiations unfold. Palo Alto is almost certain to demand more benefits from Stanford in the agreement, some of which may not relate specifically to the hospital's impact. Councilwoman Holman, for example, said recently that she wants Stanford to agree to the water-detention pond that would improve flood control around San Francisquito Creek.
But for every criticism about the Renewal Project — or suggestion that's made about how the university could take steps to equalize the impacts on and benefits to Palo Alto — there seems to be a city official offering a moderating view. At the June 14 council meeting, Burt downplayed the impact of the hospital's proposed height, noting that the new buildings wouldn't be located in the city's "core development areas." Councilman Yiaway Yeh, meanwhile, said Stanford's status as a world-class medical institution would influence his thinking on whether to approve the new hospital zone.
"Stanford has always been seen as a leader in the health field, even within the context of other hospitals going through their rebuilding," Yeh said. "The position of Stanford as one of the pre-eminent academic hospitals is something that factors into my decision process and the request for a new zone."

College sports programs provide a number of benefits to the schools they represent. From college basketball's March Madness to college football's Bowl Championship Series, college sports are hard to escape. Even if you aren't the most avid sports fan, chances are that you own a sweatshirt with the name of your favorite college emblazoned across the chest. This kind of exposure is very important to the success of colleges and universities throughout the country.
College sports teams provide the opportunity for schools to be recognized on a national scale. A good football or basketball team generally creates more widespread interest in a school than an academic program. For example, according to a study on the impact of college sports success on the quantity and quality of student applications, colleges that make it to the "Sweet 16" Round of the NCAA basketball tournament see application increases of 3 percent. After George Mason University made it to the Final Four in 2006, the number of applicants increased by 20 percent the following year. Colleges with top football programs each year also see a 2 to 8 percent increase in the applicant pool.
Most people are under the impression that college athletics bring in a lot of money for schools. This isn't necessarily the case, considering the costs of recruiting and scholarships, paying coaches and maintaining athletic facilities and equipment. However, programs do generate revenue, thanks to ticket and merchandise sales, alumni support and incentives from the athletic conferences. On average, basketball and football provide the most income for schools.
Alumni Support
Every college and university wants to build a strong relationship with its alumni. A college sports program serves as a great way to build a strong base of alumni. This alumni base shows potential students that the college has enough to offer and is a place of integrity that former students want to be involved with it long after their academic career is over.
Colleges see increased application rates and interest if they are more well-known and often become more well-known because of the success of their athletic programs. If a team wins, merchandise with that team's logo or the name of the school become more popular. This acts as free advertising for the school and the athletic program becomes a part of the brand the college is trying to sell to potential students.

I love it. So much so that my terrible phone picture put this in soft focus. OR, the camera is dirty :)
The Gaptastic cowl is a free pattern from Jen Geigley on Ravelry. It's pretty much an awesome seed stitch big loop and the colour of the wool that Jodie from Jellywares sent in the latest yarn club instalment was the perfect colour for this pattern
The cowl itself is so spongy and soft and can be kind of adjusted to sit however you want. Here I a looking like I just found a very difficult maths problem in the bathroom mirror:
And again, wearing it with my super power suit (in my work bathroom) as a non-wrapped cowl. Again a truly fabulously bad photo, but despite that you probably get the gist of how awesome this cowl is (it truly transcends my crappy photo skills!)

you have pre-paid sim cards for data?
10-19-2011 #31
11-08-2011 #32
In the US Pre-paid SIM cards are nowhere near as common as in the EU. They do exists, but data is usually done on a daily access (usually about $1.50 for a day of data access it will depend on the card.) This would be $45/mo. Most users here of prepaid sims are used on emergency or limited usage phones, everyone else is on big contracts to get the phones cheap/free.
When I go to the EU I do grab a SIM card for data and voice, don't have a good option when in china, last time I had $1600 in data charges, but it was for work. So it depends where you're at. I'll be in Turkey next week for 3 days, I think I'll just turn international data roaming off, and use the hotel WiFi for access as I won't need it at the customer site.
11-09-2011 #33
Some smart phones can make Wifi. That's the best way to go.
11-09-2011 #34
The problem with using phone for wifi hotspots is that, unless you are on at&t or a 4G area, you can't use it with voice services simultaneously. Not a big deal necessarily. Also, wifi hotspots kill your phone battery and smart phone battery life is bad enough as it is. I'd like to keep my phone charged on the go, where I'd be using 3G, in case I need my phone. If you want to use 3G services I'd say the 3G version is worth it, especially since it is only $50 more. My deal is you are already spending $250 on a handheld gaming system, if you can spend that much for such a device another $50 shouldnt be a big deal. Also if you ever want to have the convenience of just turning on 3G on your Vita and go you have it. I do agree that we need more details on what exactly 3G will do for the Vita but I've preordered the bundle already.
11-09-2011 #35
Where did you get that idea that HotSpoting kills voice services? I can hotspot and make a call (and use my BT headset) and use GPS Apps to navigate at the same time and I'm not on AT&T. I'm on T-mobile.
As for killing the battery, sure it will consume a lot more battery if you're continuously consuming data over 3G, but so will running the 3G on the Vita. And why pay $50 more + a monthy fee for 20MB/day of data access? And if you only need a limited amount of data access, then the enabling tethering for a minute or so on your phone is no more a pain than enabling the 3G for a few minutes on the PS Vita to get the data. Also, if I'm not pulling data while HotSpoting, I'm not consuming much more power than simply using 3G (3G access is a lot more power consuming than the WiFi side of things.)
The real question is when are you going to be using the PS Vita where you don't have data access but want it? For me, the time frame are either relatively short, or I've got a power source (i.e. traveling in a car while the wife is driving.)
11-09-2011 #36
OK add T-Mobile to my post, sprint and Verizon you cannot be using 3G voice and 3G data simultaneously. Wifi doesn't burn a lot necessarily but hotspot consumes more power than a simple wifi connection, maybe not a whole lot more but in my experience it is significantly more than 3G or wifi alone. Of course your mileage may vary. My point is you are giving up a lot of convenience by using a wifi hotspots and possibly incurring other costs by doing so, an $50 a month is for the prepaid cards. You can get a tablet plan for $15 a month for 250mb or $25 a month for 2GB if i recall correctly. Both cheaper than adding wifi hotspots to my sprint phone for a month, granted they will prorate daily for hotspots service. I have been on the hotspots bandwagon myself before, but realistically I see a value in Native 3G capability in a device if I'm going to use it. If it were $150 more like most tablets I'd be a little less likely to get it. At $50 I think it is a decent value.

I use prepaid 3G which is cheap..using vodafone network
11-10-2011 #38
On T-mobile technically they say they'll charge $15/mo to hotspot, I've been doing it for over a year and I've never had a charge. So the cheaper argument even if I did have to pay the $15/mo flies right out the window.
All this said, yes if you got to have it while you're in locations that frequently don't have WiFi available and possibly stuck w/ phone plan on a phone that won't let you easily hotspot, and ASSUMING the PS Vita will support pre-paid data SIMs (no guaranty on this - they may be locked to the Verizon SIM.) Then it may be reasonable. For me and I'd bet most of us, it's not worth it.
I'll bet that the WiFi only version will outsell the 3G version by at least 5 to 1.

I don't mind paying the extra $50 upfront, But since I don't know how much at&t is going to charge to use data that's what puts me off on spending the extra 50. If it was like a kindle where you did not have to bother with contracts or prepaid sim cards I would all ready have it paid off. But seeing how it will be an extra 50 plus what ever they charge and its limited, its just easier to use my hot spot, plus I work for Sprint so I get the hot spot for a discounted rate,

Sony should have done what Amazon has done with the Kindle and ensured that all their customers who buy the 3G version get access all the time without all of the other bs.
12-08-2011 #42
AT&T (USA) charges $14.99 for 250mb and $25 for 2GB for their data only plans months to months,no contracts so I expect it to me the same price for the PV.
Also I'm wondering is the PS Vita will have HSPA+ ? If it does that would be awesome news since AT&T supports that so you can get almost 4G speeds that way,Originally Posted by a member on slickdeal

"This was a good snack/side dish. Although I made a few tweaks to it that I recommend. Instead of lime juice I used lemon juice. Instead of yellow tomatoes I used yellow sweet bell peppers. I also did not use any onions simply because I dont care for them. I would recommend using only 1 tablespoon of olive oil though, 2 seemed like too much to me."

I was shocked that you love Christmas music - cancel my subscription to this blog! Just joshin - keep up the great work!
Worse Than A Fruitcake
I readily admit I love the damned stuff, though I've recently reduced the size of my collection from seven boxes to a mere three. I got to the point this past summer where I had to admit that no one really needs six versions of Chuck Berry's "Run, Run, Rudolph."
Most Christmas records are compilations where perhaps a track or two are listenable. Of course that's also the theory propelling downloaders these days but that's another story. Of the compilations, one I go back to religiously is Rhino's Best of Cool Yule which has what is garage rock's greatest contribution to Xmas music: The Sonics, ahem, let me rephrase, Tacoma's immortal white boy spawns of Satan (a good thing), in their delightfully sloppy and menacing 1965 version of "Santa Claus." Booze, which may or may not have played a role here, has often been an essential aid when it comes to the experience of listening and playing Christmas music.
One of the most fascinating things about Xmas music, after the fact that a Xmas hit can do real business, is that oftentimes great artists, Sinatra is the perfect example, whiff when it comes to Christmas music. His attempts at CM are, much as we may love Frank, boring. He fell into the most common trap of CM: do everything as a ballad. Merle Haggard made the same mistake with the same results.
A lingering question about CM is whether this thriving (yet for some toxic) subgenre has ever spawned a coherent, listenable album that's actually a work of umm, art (albeit with a small "a")? When it comes to creating and being genuinely imaginative in Christmas music albums, the category suddenly slims down to a single competitor.
One of the chief wonders of Christmas music is Phil Spector's still unbelievable 1963 effort, A Christmas Gift For You. Spector's upbeat, energetic adaptation of his trademark, lush/busy wall of sound production style to goofy secular Christmas pop numbers like "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" (yes, Bruce did it betta), the best sung by Darlene Love and Ronnie Bennett (Spector) and her unmistakable, lip-curling, throat–twisting New York accent ("Frooaaawwwsssty the Snowman…"), is still astonishing after 23 years. The opening number "White Christmas," (by Love) is as good in its way as Bing's undying 1942 rendering. Overall, this is probably the only Christmas record that people who hate them can actually listen to.
Not surprisingly considering the overall firepower of the talent involved, much of the greatest Christmas music has come from 60's soul performers. Anything James Brown recorded is worth a listen. Despite the fact that it was a hit years ago for the great Charles Brown, "Merry Christmas Baby" is also powerful in the hands of the great Otis Redding. All of the handful of Xmas tunes cut by Big O are sublime. The best soul Xmas collections are the same basic pile of tunes, recorded by Atlantic Records in the Sixties, which have been cut and pasted into a number of reissues over the years. The best is still 1991's Soul Christmas on Atlantic. Part of that collection can be found on 1994's The Original Soul Christmas. The greatest track on both of the above albums, which is also THE single greatest Christmas music cut, Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" can this year be found on The Best of Ultimate Soul Christmas. Hathaway's hit may be the one Christmas song that truly transcends the genre, being a great pop tune no matter what the subject. His tragic death here in New York in 1979—in theory he jumped from a 15th floor room of the Essex House, but questions remain—snuffed out one of the geniuses of popular music. The man truly had an immense amount of juice.

"War on Christmas" exposed by New Yorker; O'Reilly annoyed
The War on Christmas is a little like Santa Claus, in that it (a) comes to us from the sky, beamed down by the satellites of cable news, and (b) does not, in the boringly empirical sense, exist.He goes on to note that
Today's Christmas Pentagon is the Fox News Channel, which during a recent five-day period carried no fewer than fifty-eight different segments about the ongoing struggle, some of them labelled "Christmas under attack."and discusses John Gibson's book and Bill O'Reilly's role as "Patton." Near the end, he notes:
In this war, no weapons of Christmas destruction have been found—just a few caches of linguistic oversensitivity and commercial caution. Christmas remains robust: even Gibson says in his book that in America Christmas celebrators (ninety-six per cent) outnumber Christians (eighty-four per cent). But the "Happy Holidays" contagion has probably spread too far to be wiped out.O'Reilly's response on December 20:
O'REILLY: Time now for "The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day." New Yorker magazine joins our hall of shame. We are recommending readers and sponsors avoid the publication. The reason: that magazine allows writer Hendrik Hertzberg to print dishonest propaganda fed to him by left-wing smear sites. As I previously stated, any publication or news operation that does that will be listed on BillOReilly.com asAnd Fox's John Gibson, author of The War on Christmas, got into a shouting match with Rob Boston of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, with Gibson threatening to sue Boston for pointing out O'Reilly's falsehood about green and red clothing being prohibited by Plano, Texas schools. As it turns out, there were some prohibitions about party items and gifts in Plano schools which included such things as paper plate color, which led to a lawsuit; that ban was revoked and the guidelines made more sensible--e.g., students could give each other religious-themed gifts, but teachers (who are acting in an official capacity and represent the state) cannot give religious-themed gifts to students.
not worthy of your attention or advertising dollars. The spin and the propaganda stop here. The New Yorker magazine should be ashamed and is absolutely ridiculous. And one note to Mr. Hertzberg: You might want to rethink your practice of character assassination, sir. Just looking out for you.
O'Reilly has retracted his comment about a ban on red and green clothing.

Elizabeth Robbins
After many trips to locate the grave in section 7, I talked to the Caretaker Joe to find Elizabeth Robbins grave. Her grave location is 7-67-5. The caretaker stated that she is buried in the Gavin Plot (maybe a relative of yours, same last name) which has four burial plots in front of the stone and four burial plots in back of the stone. Elizabeth is in the first grave plot on the back side of the stone. She does not have any markings on the grave stone. The only information on the Gavin stone's is the names of Joseph N. Gavin 1894-1958 and his wife Alice Donovan 1901-1964. I forgot to ask who if anybody is buried in the remaining five plots out of the eight. Let me know and I can find out for you.

José Carlos Mariátegui, a creative Marxist thinker and activist from Peru, who was born in 1894 and died in 1930, was once not widely known in the English-speaking world. Over the last few decades, however, more and more people have learned about his life and works, and in 2011, MR Press was proud to publish a comprehensive anthology of his writings, edited and translated by the scholars Harry E. Vanden and Marc Becker.
Now, we're pleased to present José Carlos Mariátegui: An Anthology as our November book of the month. Receive 35% off when you use the coupon code BOM1114 at checkout.
When this book appeared, Michael Löwy said that "It will now be possible to discover a thinker who not only was the pioneer of Marxist analysis of Peru and Latin America, and the dreamer of an Indo-American Socialism as the only real alternative to imperialist domination, but one of the great universal Marxist authors of the twentieth century, comparable, by the originality of his heterodox revolutionary writings, to the contemporary (i.e. 1920s) works of Lukács and Gramsci."
Cloth (ISBN-13: 978-1-58367-246-4)
October 2011
Also available as an e-book
Sara Castro-Klaren called it "an intelligent and welcomed selection from his complete works" in which "Mariátegui's disciplined prose illuminates the 'real' with unique and powerful insights of particular relevance for thinking our own current crisis." And Paul Le Blanc praised this "marvelous collection" as "a gift, facilitating the international renewal and enrichment of revolutionary Marxism in the twenty-first century."
And here's what a few reviewers thought:
Historical Materialism: "Vanden and Becker's compilation is a welcome and long-overdue introduction to José Carlos Mariátegui for English-speaking audiences… His forcefulness, conviction, and intelligence make his early death all the more tragic from the perspective of the present. One can only hope Vanden and Becker's anthology will be but a first step towards establishing Mariátegui as a forceful presence in the English-speaking world."
New Politics: "Thanks to Harry E. Vanden and Marc Becker, we have once again available in English not only most of Mariátegui's most important writings, but the most complete English language collection of his work ever published…. All of those interested in Marxist theory, Latin American history and politics, and in the role of the indigenous peoples in the social, labor and left movements should read this book."
Upside Down World: "This anthology not only offers a profound insight into Mariátegui's writings. It manages to remain relevant to contemporary historical reality, at a time when intellectual writing remains confined to academia. The publication of this anthology, with its detailed introduction to Mariátegui's life and work, brings readers closer to works which otherwise might have been inaccessible to a broader audience."
Journal of Latin American Studies: "The editors' introduction argues quite convincingly that unlike many Marxist twentieth-century authors, Mariátegui's thought retains its relevance for current generations of readers. … an important and welcome contribution."
Alternate Routes: "Mariátegui is a powerful example of an engaged intellectual whose ideas have contributed to Latin America's political transformations; greater attention by English readers is long overdue. Vanden and Becker's anthology is an encouraging start."
Socialist Review: "The creativity of his ideas has left a footprint still recognisable to those searching for answers to the economic crisis in Latin America, and with the help of this anthology, elsewhere too."

Mexico: Security Situation Deteriorating in GuadalajaraBy Larry Habegger | Permalink | 1 comment | July 7th, 2010 | Trackback
The U.S. Consulate in Guadalajara sent a notice June 29 that the security environment in Guadalajara continues to deteriorate because of rising drug cartel violence. A confrontation between police and cartel gunmen occurred June 24 on the road between Guadalajara and the nearby tourist destination of Mazamitla, and many battles with heavy weapons between rival cartels and police have occurred close to the city.
It\'s much esaeir to understand when you put it that way!

Homemade Cashew Butter is a very versatile spread – you can substitute it for peanut butter in almost any recipe. Tasty & also a help for homemade dairy recipes.
Homemade Cashew Butter is more of a how-to than a recipe but I really wanted to share with you how easy it is to make. Being a very versatile spread – you can substitute it for peanut butter in almost any recipe. So if you are on a paleo diet you can use cashew instead of peanut butter.
Also it is a great butter for making many vegan alternatives, such as, cream cheese and it can help make many vegan ice creams. Here ya go, a pictorial (and all the instructions you would want) for making cashew butter.
I have been asked since this recipe has come out which Ninja machine I used. It is the Ninja Master Prep and I use the smallest unit for this recipe.
Homemade Cashew Butter
Homemade Cashew Butter is a very versatile spread - you can substitute it for peanut butter in almost any recipe.
- 2 cups cashew pieces
- This is such a simple process but I think the photos will help you visually.
- Add the cashews to your food processor, or as I used, the Ninja.
- Turn on the Ninja and process for about 10 seconds.
- You will have a coarse meal as in the photo below.
- All of these steps will take longer for a regular food processor but you will get there.
- Whir another 20 seconds and you will see it starting to clump together.
- Scrap down the sides to the center near the blades.
- Whir another 20 seconds and scrape again.
- This time hold it for about a minute. You will see the blades (through the plastic bowl on the outside of the Ninja) catch something once in a while so it is blending.
- If you don't see the blades working, turn off and scrape again.
- This time you will see the cashews blending for sure.
- It is starting to look like cashew butter but is not quite there yet.
- Hold for another 30 seconds to one minute and you will actually see the creamy cashew butter showing oil and creaming around the edges.
Recipe Notes
That is it! You have a beautiful, homemade, natural, healthy, creamy cashew butter. Store in the refrigerator with a tight fitting lid for up to 2 weeks.

Well it´s my turn to continue the story. Unfortunately we don´t have much to say for ourselves and the amazing hikes we were supposed to do in the Cordillera Blanca. A mountain range containing 22 peaks over 6000m. Shortly after arriving we signed up to do the most popular trek...the Santa Cruz Trek, which is said to have the most beautiful mountain views. Our first day starting out though, I was already feeling a bit under the weather and about an hour and half in I started feeling really sick due to the altitude.

After spending a night in Lima we set off early to go to the mountains to the northwest of the capital. We were delayed in leaving Lima as our bus was inspected on the outskirts of town and deemed unfit for the road, so we waited for a few hours for another bus going the same way. We were lucky there were even seats for us on the other bus as we piled onto the back of the stuffy bus. 10 hours later after climbing high into the Andes we made it to the lovely town of Huaraz, altitude 3100m. It was night when we got there so in the morning it...Jump to full entry

After 4 days of hike, we decided we shouldn´t take a night bus that day but to stay an extra day for rest and washing dirty clothes and wet socks. We heard good things about Canyoning, which is basically rapelling down waterfalls so we booked a tour for the whole family for another adventure.

SEVERAL mini-recycling sites in the region closed yesterday as part of Wiltshire Council's programme to save money.
Sites in Purton, Royal Wootton Bassett, Broad Town and Brinkworth shut their doors for the last time.
All 126 centres across the county closed in a move which the council has estimated will save £100,000 a year.
The council has said that the majority of recycling in the county is done during household collections. Last year, 68,000 tonnes of household waste was recycled, of which 36,000 tonnes came through the black box and blue bin collections.
However, it is predicted that this year only 3,000 tonnes will be recycled at the mini-sites. Thus the council has decided it is more economical to close them.
Coun Jacqui Lay (Con, Purton) said she did not believe Purton will be too badly affected by the change because it is close to a private household recycling centre run by Hill's Waste.
She said Purton was lucky to have the recycling site nearby and that if there was something that could not be left on the pavement it could be taken there.
"I know for the several houses which are near the closed site they will probably be very grateful for the reduction in noise."
Coun Toby Sturgis (Con, Brinkworth), cabinet member for waste, said: "The kerbside collection of recyclable waste has been extremely successful.
"We are delighted people are using this service and recycling more of their household waste than ever before.
"The amount we pay in landfill tax will increase to £80 a tonne later this year, so every pound we save by recycling more is an extra pound we can spend on vital services in Wiltshire."
However, there is some opposition to the plan from people who say the sites are still used.
Liberal Democrat spokesman, Coun Jon Hubbard (Lib Dem, Melksham South) , said the closures could end up costing Wiltshire Council taxpayers more in landfill tax.
He said:"When they are closed the people who use them are more likely to put their waste into landfill collections and the council will have to pay landfill tax on it."

The Thick of It, Series 4, Episode 6 Goolding Inquiry
The government, the opposition and the civil service all have a lot of questions to answer about the suicide of a nurse after his flat was sold off. They must now come before an inquiry into the scandal which has engulfed all corners of politics. Lord Goolding is reputedly a fair man, but he is not going to stand for any nonsense and neither is his team of expert inquisitors, so surely now the truth will come out. Unless someone lies, or creates a diversion of some kind, or simply pretends not to remember anything. Which they obviously would never do.

Efforts to Support, Streamline Trade Help Seafood Industry and Consumers

|Did You Know?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is currently working with partner government agencies such as NOAA Fisheries to build the International Trade Data System (ITDS). When fully deployed as planned for December 2016, ITDS will provide a single U.S. government system for electronic submission of trade data. In the future, NSIL's trade monitoring programs will use the data feed into the ITDS, making it easier for industry and seafood suppliers to import/export seafood products. The system will also enhance our ability to ensure only legally caught seafood enters the U.S. market.

Watch the video above to learn more about NOAA Fisheries' National Seafood Inspection Laboratory in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and their role inspecting seafood for safety during Deepwater Horizon.
October 20, 2014
When making a purchase at the seafood counter or in a restaurant, consumers have many seafood options. How can you feel confident that you're making a smart, sustainable choice? You might be familiar with the work NOAA Fisheries does to sustainably manage U.S. fisheries. For National Seafood Month, let's turn our attention to how NOAA Fisheries supports the seafood trade to ensure that seafood available to U.S. consumers is legally caught.
NOAA Fisheries' National Seafood Inspection Laboratory (NSIL) in Pascagoula, Mississippi, plays a critical role in streamlining seafood trade in and out of the United States. Working in conjunction with other NOAA Fisheries offices and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, NSIL provides support to seafood dealers and implements programs to ensure imported seafood is caught and imported legally. Species that fall under this program include Patagonian toothfish, bluefin tuna, swordfish, and bigeye tuna.
NSIL helps implement a number of trade tracking systems, including the one currently used for tracking imports of Patagonian toothfish. This species, known more commonly to consumers as Chilean sea bass, has long been in demand by chefs and seafood consumers in the United States. In fact, the United States imported almost one-half of the toothfish harvested from January 2013 through September 2014. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is responsible for monitoring and managing toothfish populations internationally. To complement management of the resource and facilitate trade, CCAMLR and the United States established an electronic trade tracking system called the Catch Documentation Scheme (CDS).
In addition to the development of the CDS, in 2003 the United States established a pre-approval system for each and every shipment of frozen toothfish sent to the United States. The pre-approval system requires permitted dealers to submit an application that contains a variety of information, including:
- Information from the CDS indicating when and where the toothfish was caught and associated vessel monitoring data.
- The shipping vessel, container number, and other shipping-related identifiers.
- The intended date of import into the United States.
NSIL confirms the accuracy of this information prior to approving the import application and uses the online CDS system to confirm that vessel monitoring was reported for the entire trip and to ensure that the shipment was properly validated by government authorities in the exporting country.
This process allows NSIL to ensure that only legally caught toothfish is imported into the United States. In addition, they help streamline the process for seafood dealers, giving them more certainty that their product will be accepted into the United States. And, consumers can feel confident that the toothfish they're buying and eating was caught and imported legally. According to Kim Dawson-Guynn of NSIL, "trade tracking tools are complementary to the international science community's efforts to sustainably manage these fisheries." Currently, NSIL is also involved with the development of a similar, even more sophisticated electronic trade tracking system for bluefin tuna as well as the review and upgrade to the CCAMLR CDS.
Tracking trade in and out of the United States is just one component of the work that NOAA Fisheries does to ensure that fisheries are sustainably managed and responsibly harvested. "Trade tracking is integral to ensuring consumers have a high level of confidence that they are purchasing legally harvested seafood," said Dawson-Guynn.

Associate Professor, UC Department of Pediatrics
Douglas Kinnett, MD, specializes in pediatric rehabilitation. Children with impairments resulting in restrictions in their ability to function in society are the primary interest of the pediatric rehabilitation physician. A majority of these children have injury to their brain from trauma or have cerebral palsy.
Dr. Kinnett has developed expertise in the treatment of spasticity that is often seen in these children. Because of his experience, Dr. Kinnett is frequently asked to lecture on spasticity management in this region of the country. Beyond this special interest, he works with other members of the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation to provide a comprehensive approach to develop the full potential of these children as they grow into adulthood.
Training of new physicians in this area is also a priority in the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Dr. Kinnett provides teaching experiences for these physicians in training along with other members of the division. He has twice been honored to receive a teaching award for his efforts in this training and was named Top Doctor in his field in 2015 by Cincinnati magazine. The Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Pediatric Rehabilitation Training Program is considered one of the top programs in the country.
Dr. Kinnett has been a faculty member at Cincinnati Children's within the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine since 1993. He accepted this position after being the first resident physician to complete the Pediatric Rehabilitation Training Program at Cincinnati Children's.
Dr. Kinnett attended medical school at the University of Cincinnati after working four years as a research assistant at Cincinnati Children's. Prior to this, he completed BS and MA degrees at Indiana State University.

GENEVA, Oct 14, 2011 (AFP) - More than 3,000 people have been killed in Syria since popular protests broke out in mid-March, the UN human rights chief said Friday, urging international action to prevent civil war in the country.
"The number of people killed since the violence started in March has now exceeded 3,000, including at least 187 children. More than 100 people have been reported killed in the last 10 days alone," said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay. AFP - Syrian students return home from their school in the flashpoint city of Rastan in the central Homs province, about 180 kilometres from Damascus, on October 13, 2011. Rastan, a gateway to the country's north, has been the focus of security force operations against anti-regime dissent for several weeks.
The international community should therefore step up to do so, the UN rights chief urged.
"The onus is on all members of the international community to take protective action in a collective and decisive manner before the continual ruthless repression and killings drive the country into a full-blown civil war," Pillay said.
"The international community must speak with one voice and act to protect the Syrian people," she added.
