I just came across this: http://our21daydiet.com/Recipes/Recipe%20Index.htm which seems to have some pretty cool recipes--I'm wanting to look into it more.
And, for those of you who do tubers, I am LOVING my new spiral veggie slicer: http://www.amazon.com/World-Cuisine-.../dp/B0007Y9WHQ (sweet Christmas present!!! ) I used it to make potato pasta--FABULOUS w/ traditional spaghetti sauce and meatballs--ds loved it. I'm sure it will make amazing zucchini pasta and more! It rocks!
Can't wait to learn more about paleo/primal/grain free eating this coming year!

I never thought about potato pasta. Interesting! I mainly do zucchini and squash pasta with some beet thrown in now and again. Amazing with pasta sauce and fresh garlic! I also love throwing in sausage. Drool.
I made the crepes from the link I posted b/4--way yummy w/ some whipped coconut milk cream and cooked berries (were frozen and I mixed them w/ water and mashed...soooo good)!
|Coconut Flour Crepes
Makes 4 - 6
Whisk and let stand 5 to 10 minutes:
2 Tbs. butter (melted)
2 free-range chicken eggs
(pinch of xylitol made from birch trees)
(dash of nutmeg)
(? tsp. of pure vanilla extract)
? tsp. sea salt
Mix in:
2 Tbs. organic coconut flour
Lastly mix in:
½ cup raw (coconut) milk
Heat some (coconut) oil in a skillet and pour in about ? cup of batter. Quickly rotate the skillet so the batter forms a big, thin circle (about 7-8 inches). When
it starts to bubble and edges begin to brown, flip it over; cook 1 or 2 minutes.
Flip each side in towards the center (around a filling). Garnish to taste with:
(fresh organic berries)
(slivered organic raw almonds)
(chopped organic raw nuts)
(organic cream [whipped])
You can make the crepes ahead of time, refrigerate, reheat (and stuff), serve.

I really do like being grain-free. 6 months ago I would have never imagined I could eat this way let alone be happy.
Tonight's easy and yummy dinner:
Marinated strips of grass-fed round steak in some oil, red wine vinegar and steak seasoning (from Frontier). Cooked the meat and sliced leeks in bacon drippings. Added a little tarragon vinegar. Poured the whole thing over a big bowl of baby spinach, tossed and served.

Lainiemama--ITA about using coconut and nut flours--way easier than gluten free baking w/ grains as well! Coconut flour is my fave at the moment...way fun and easy to use!

JElaineB--both of those books have been huge for me as well. I'd love to continue a discussion on protein and recommended in Primal Body--Primal Mind. For *my* body, I'm currently feeling like her protein/fat/carb ratio recs may not be for me, but it's something I'm really interested in continuing to learn about...

still here as well! I love how gf makes me feel as well, it is just not always easy to stay motivated. I love that slicer- will have to look into getting one, usually I make veggie pasta by hand , which means I am often too lazy to do it so end up just using chopped veggies which isn't as exciting and fun Feeling pretty darn great lately which is amazing considering I have a 1 month old(not to mention the 2.5 and 5 y.o. as well).
I agree. I've had the spiral slicer for years and though I am WAY lazy in the kitchen it gets a lot of play since it's so easy to clean.
I hear ya on the juicer. That's why I switched to an auger style. WAY easier than a centrifugal juicer-I never used that because I couldn't stand having to clean it!
I'm in as well. I got both Primal Body-Primal Mind and The Primal Blueprint for Christmas. I'm halfway through both and I don't need any more convincing (though I will finish the books!) Today was actually my first day and I think I did pretty well. Looking forward to 2010!
(I've just been doing blender-made green smoothies in place of juicing, although I think I'd love to try juicing again--esp w/ greens!!)

Had my 6 mo DD tested for allergies for 100 foods the other day. She's EBF so it really is about what I have to give up. In addition to a primal diet (I'm already living without dairy) I've had to give up tomatoes, chocolate and wine. She's also allergic to all things soy and although we normally avoid soy, I would occasionally make a dish with tamari. Ultimately she was allergic/sensitive to 15 things on the list of 100 foods. Sigh. What we do for our kids...
Mama to DS (6/07) , DD (6/09) , and DD (07/12) ..
I am making a resolution to do my best, though, as opposed to going for broke all the way. I usually do that, and I find I burn out to quickly and revert to bad habits.
So here I am!
I did get the holiday menu mailer from www.heartofcooking.com and made her pumpkin bars with cashew date frosting using 2 flax eggs and baking powder to replace the eggs. OMG TDF! So good, so very very good. I only used 1/3 c of honey.
I am getting a juicer to for Christmas/my 30th b-day! I think I decided on a Samson juicer since it can do all a twin gear can but doesn't cost as much. This one:
And in other news, I really need to focus on fat. I almost can't eat chicken anymore because I feel so unsatisified afterwards. We are really blowing through our side of beef that I thought would last 6 months. I think it will be gone by the end of next month.
Maybe honey wine from Wild Fermentation?
I don't really do adult beverages. Not my thing. I do kombucha and occasionally (like twice a year?) have a glass of red wine. I'm no help in that department. Sorry! DH does brandy, wine and vodka occasionally. NO more beer here except on very special occasion and then it's GF.
Oh, the other thing I forgot to say is umm, I love beer. What do grain free peeps do for an adult beverage? I know alcohol is poison, but sometimes you need to pick your poison, right?
Maybe honey wine from Wild Fermentation?
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you." Buddha
It took me an hour just to read this thread, thanks to all the fascinating links that led me on to other fascinating links. Now I know that water kefir is something I must try. I've always ignored discussions about it before. And I've added books and the spiral slicer to my wish list.
I wish it was easier to find wine made without sulfites.
I'm going to give you the recipe that I modified (mostly from Heart of Cooking)--I halved it when I made it and it came out awesome. (I also have a tortilla press which I KNOW makes a difference in how easy they are to make...) The only part I changed from the original recipe is bolded.
|Grain Free Tortillas
Servings: 4-6
Prep and cook time: 35-50 minutes
2 cups GF mix*
1 ½ teaspoons xanthan gum (I used guar gum)
2 tsp real maple syrup or honey
1 tsp salt
2 tsp almond meal (I used ground sunflower seeds--due to almond intolerance)
1 cup warm water
*GF Mix: 1 part coconut flour, 1 part ground sunflower seeds (almond flour should work fine here), 1 part potato starch or sweet potato flour (etc.)
1. In the bowl of your electric mixer, whisk together the flour mix, xanthan gum, salt and almond meal. Add the water and sweetener and beat on medium for 1 minute.
2. Remove the dough from the mixer and shape into a ball; divide into 6 pieces and, working on plastic wrap dusted with arrowroot powder, roll each piece into a thin 12" round. As you roll each tortilla out, separate it from the plastic wrap gently and place it over your hand and forearm. Flip it into the pan to cook.
3. Cook each tortilla on a medium-hot greased griddle for about 1 minute per side. I rolled each tortilla as each one was cooking the griddle. But you can also roll them all out and then cook them one by one. Makes 6 large tortilla wraps.
It does involve some of those pesky gf ingredients (guar gum) although it *might* work w/out. She also has a *grain free* tortilla recipe at the same link above--it relies heavily on almond flour and I just wanted to try these out instead. (I've not always had the best luck when making non-dessert baked goods w/ almond flour SUBS I grind myself.) If anyone tries it, do lmk how it goes for you!
Just wanted to share!!
And I'm all about the wine when I do drink...although vodka *was* my drink of choice back in college...

Most of the info I've found helpful that has inspired me to drop grains comes from paleo/primal sources. Here are a couple of links from Mark's Daily Apple talking a bit about it.
From what I've read, human beings aren't made to eat grains, they are not optimal sources of nutrition, and it is easier (and more beneficial) to get our nutrients from other foods (like meats, fats, veggies, nuts, fruits, etc etc etc...).
But more than anything, GOING grain free FELT so awesome that I'm convinced by that more than anything else. (Dropping gluten was the major thing that made a difference in my life, but totally grain free I just feel lighter, more energetic, less bloated, yadda yadda yadda--just awesome. If I eat grains, I *feel* it, and it doesn't feel good...)
There is a transition time as well, where you might feel like crap for a week or so when dropping them--it will pass! I felt like it was gluten 'withdrawl' for me... Hopefully others will post more helpful links!

2009 was such an emotional and physical journey for me. When I was grain free/low sugar/lots of fat, meat, eggs and veg I felt wonderful and lost weight. You would think that would have been enough to convince me to stay that way, right? I don't know what my issue was, thinking I could take a break and pick it back up or something I guess. But I am learning from my mistakes and moving forward.
I'm not sure that i will always been grain-free but I will be until I can reach the weight I need to be at...
I'm rereading Good Calories/Bad Calories which was so helpful to me last spring, and also EFLF now. And I'm glad I ran across Mark's Daily Apple, that site is awesome. I have a few things I'll quibble with him on (little stuff like I'm going to use Mary's Oil blend to make my dressings and he does all olive oil, stuff like that), but not too many after realizing that his *usual* diet is how I was eating when weight was falling off me. I keep looking for his book in the bookstore and can't find it though.
My kids and dh are going to keep eating as usual, but I just told dh no eating out as a family unless it's Jason's Deli (a chain that has lots of organics and is HFCS-free and has a good salad bar) or similar. I know from past experience I'll got through a "withdrawal" period (because I have definitely been eating grains/sugar in December) but then after I get through that will feel really good. And lose weight I hope!

A Vacaville church is being transformed into a little town from long ago in order to give locals a chance not to just hear the Christmas story, but experience it this weekend.
On Monday, volunteers were hard at work outside New Hope Christian Fellowship, 4910 Allison Parkway off Vaca Valley Parkway, building the set that will represent the town of Bethlehem, complete with a number of shops, a market and the well-known inn and stable.
"We're showing an experience of what Bethlehem might have been like the night Jesus was born," explained Jeff Ryan, the church's worship leader.
After a slightly slow start its first year, New Hope Christian Fellowship received some inspiration and about a hundred costumes from Napa Baptist Church, which had put a similar production for 13 years.
"We were grateful for what they gave us," Ryan said, adding "Last year was really something. A big change from the first year."
With costume-clad volunteers dressed as townspeople, beggars, lepers, shepherds and Roman Centurians meandering through the market place and past the numerous store fronts ranging from candle maker and blacksmith to a basket weaver, olive press and tax collector's booth, visitors will be greeted by a number of sights and sounds of old Bethlehem.
Attendees can also try their hand at some of the crafts available and sample the fare, which includes authentic treats ranging from humus and flat bread to lentil soup.
The event will also feature a pair of camels, a donkey and zebu.
Visitors will have the chance to follow Mary and Joseph as they arrive in the town and register, all leading up to what Ryan called a "very discrete" scene in the stable where Mary ultimately gave birth.
"Our main focus, though, is to plant the seed of Jesus -- who he was and what he did. God touches hearts in many ways. We know He has blessed us in many ways. We just want to share Him with the world."
Admission is free for the experience, which takes place from 6-8:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Even though I've visited Golden Spike National Historic Site many times through the years, I'd never taken the tour through the engine house where the replica locomotives, Jupiter and 119, hibernate each winter.
When I arrived at the historic site on a Friday afternoon, a southeast wind was carrying moist air from Great Salt Lake up over the Promontory Mountains. It was condensing into a long cloud of freezing ground fog that was dusting the landscape with big and delicate ice crystals. It was cold as the proverbial witch's breath, but it was absolutely beautiful.
Along the way I'd seen two bald eagles sitting on fence posts just as the road starts uphill into the historic site. But of course, they didn't hang around when I stopped to try for a photo.
As I pulled into the visitor center parking lot, a couple with Colorado plates on their car was just leaving. Judging from tracks in the ice dust, I was only the second vehicle and third visitor of the day. Delightful!
Inside the visitor center, Chief Ranger Tammy Benson made me feel immediately welcome, offered to run the movie for me, and then went back to struggling with a balky computer.
I'd been sitting down for an hour on the trip out from Ogden, Utah, so I spent my time before the scheduled tour poring over the museum's displays. The museum room is small, and other times I'd been there it had been crowded with other visitors. Between crowds of people and some rather elderly captions printed on transparent plastic that makes reading a bit difficult, I'd never really been able to take in all the displays.
I welcomed a chance to have the time and space needed to maneuver around until the light was just right to be able to read texts on displays without feeling I as if was in someone's way. Just as I finished in the museum, Ranger David Kilton came back from lunch. Even though the tour wasn't scheduled for another half hour, he and Tammy decided he should head out to the engine house with me in tow since I was the only one there. She'd delay her lunch while she kept trying to get that darned computer back on line.
A few minutes later, David pulled out of the visitor center's backyard and led the way for me to follow in my truck the mile or so out to the engine house. Even cold and silent, the two locomotives inside are awfully impressive chunks of machinery. The shop is neat and clean. Their two engineers, Ronald Wilson and Steve Sawyer, along with fireman Mike Oesteich, were quietly working on some of the myriad chores needed to keep them sparkling and running.
Ron was replacing worn out leather on an armrest from Jupiter's windowsill. The others were working on floor boards from one of the locomotives and on refinishing the pilot – or cowcatcher – from the front of 119.
An assortment of valves lay scattered on a workbench waiting to have a summer's worth of minerals from hard water removed so the brass could be polished again to its full brightness. Although though the locomotives are replicas of the originals, they are still national treasures. As such, they need and deserve a lot of tender, loving care.
With the exception of a few days around New Years when one of the engines emerges from its den for the Winter Steam Festival, they spend the winter in surgery. There's a lot of work to be done before the annual deadline – when they roll out again under steam to take their places nose to nose in the spot where the last spikes were driven into the transcontinental railway on May 10, 1869.
On May 10 each year, the park staff and nearly 100 volunteers from surrounding communities join for a re-enactment of the driving of the Golden Spike. From then until October, the locomotives thrill visitors as they steam back and forth or sit sighing great clouds of steam between runs.
Steve Sawyer, Ron Wilson, and Mike Oesteich dress and act the part of train crewmen from the 1800s and history comes alive again at Promontory Summit.
The Stories of the Locomotives
Jupiter was built at Schenectady Locomotive Works in New York for the Central Pacific Railroad in California. Along with three sister locomotives, Storm, Whirlwind, and Leviathan, Jupiter was completed in September 1868.
All three were dismantled, loaded aboard ships and taken around Cape Horn to San Francisco. There they were loaded aboard barges and pulled up the Sacramento River to the town of Sacramento, where they were reassembled and put to work on the railroad that was building east from California to meet the Union Pacific which was building west from Omaha.
Jupiter was commissioned on March 20, 1869. Just two months later, Jupiter was chosen by accident to be the locomotive that pulled Central Pacific's president's private car to the meeting of the rails at Promontory Summit in Utah Territory.
Railroad president Leland Stanford had originally chosen another locomotive, Antelope, to pull his train. But an accident in the mountains pushed Jupiter into history. It seems that work was still progressing on the railroad, and in the Sierra Nevada Mountains a crew was working alongside a deep mountain cut to remove some trees. They needed to roll a huge log down a cut bank onto the tracks where it could be cut into small pieces.
A regular train passed by while the tree crew waited. They failed to see a couple of small green flags on the locomotive of that train. The flags meant that a second train was following. Just as Antelope pulled into the cut, the log rolled onto the tracks and seriously damaged the engine.
Jupiter was sitting at the next station and hurriedly took Antelope's place to finish the run to Utah and history.
No. 119 was built in November 1868 at Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works in Paterson, New Jersey. Along with some sisters, 119 headed west to the Union Pacific's headquarters in Omaha and then west to end of track north of Salt Lake City. Like Jupiter, 119 was not the engine that should have been at Promontory. On the way to Promontory, the Durant Special carrying UP's vice-president, Thomas Durant, stopped to take on water in Piedmont, Wyoming. There Durant and his entourage were met by about 400 laid-off tie cutters who had not been paid in over three months.
They were a little ticked off, so they chained Durant's coach to the siding and demanded their pay in return for letting Durant proceed. When the men's pay arrived two days later, Durant was already late for his date. The ceremony had originally been planned for May 8, but Durant wasn't unchained until early on the 10th.
As the Durant Special proceeded west into the canyon of the Weber River not far east of Ogden, it was discovered that the river had become swollen by heavy rains and melting snow. Its raging water had partially washed out a bridge. The engineer saw the damage and refused to try to take the heavy locomotive across the tottering structure.
Durant's coach and other cars were unhooked. The locomotive gave them a shove and sent the lighter cars rolling one by one across the weakened bridge. Durant and the dignitaries with him walked gingerly across the wobbling bridge and re-boarded the train on the other side. But there was no locomotive to pull them. A quick telegraph message to Ogden found that 119 was sitting on a siding in the yard. It had steam up and was the closest engine to the main line, so it was sent quickly up the canyon to haul Durant and his crowd on to Promontory.
And so it was that on May 10, Jupiter and 119 sat pilot to pilot each with "half a world behind them."
Interestingly, both locomotives ended up in scrap yards in the early 1900s. Both had been sold to other railroads and both were finally sold for scrap – each for $1,000.
Rebuilding History
Ever since the establishment of Golden Spike National Historic Site on April 2, 1957, there had been a dream of once again having Jupiter and 119 sitting where they had on May 10. The idea was batted around for several years, but nothing came of it until March 1966 when the National Park Service contacted a man named Chadwell O'Conner.
Chad O'Conner was the owner of O'Conner Engineering Laboratories in Costa Mesa, California. O'Conner had been working for years making camera and other equipment for Walt Disney.
When the NPS asked Disney for help in rebuilding replica locomotives, Disney referred them to O'Conner. He jumped on the idea and seven years later, Jupiter and 119 rolled again.
It's a long and very involved story. Much too long to tell it all here. For anyone who is interested, a fine book, Rebirth of the Jupiter and the 119; Building the Replica Locomotives at Golden Spike, is available by contacting the rangers at the site.
That book was written by Robert Dowty, who was one of the other men who made it all possible. Bob Dowty and his son Eric were invited by O'Conner to help. They worked from 1975 until 1979 to have the replicas ready for the 110th anniversary of the Golden Spike. There were no surviving blueprints or plans for either historic locomotive. So O'Conner and his engineers set about using historic photos and lots of research.
Careful measurements of enlarged photos of the old engines finally enabled them to rebuild the locomotives to within one-quarter inch of their original dimensions. Just drawing the plans took two years. Walt Disney provided considerable help with certain aspects of the project.
Visitors are often surprised by the locomotives' bright paint, shining brass, and intricate artwork. But that's the way it really was in those days. Locomotives were the prize possessions of the railroad that owned them, and railroads competed in having the most beautiful pieces of art on the rails.
When they were finally hauled by truck to Promontory, the replica locomotives were christened with water from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Then they fired up and went to work.
Bob and Eric Dowty, who had worked so long and hard to help rebuild the great machines had fallen in love with the locomotives. So when Jupiter and 119 came to Promontory, so did Bob and Eric. They served for many years as engineers and caretakers of the locomotives and spent summers dressed as trainmen of old.
Rarely stepping out of character, the two helped carry visitors back in time. Originally, the locomotives were both fired by waste motor oil donated by Hill Air Force Base and other sources near Ogden. But in 1990 the decision was made to convert back to their original fuels – coal for 119 and wood for Jupiter. Now visitors to the site can experience all the original sights, sounds and the smells of coal and wood smoke.
In his book, the late Bob Dowty wrote, "Around May 1 each year, a great event takes place in the engine house. Our sleeping giants are awakened for the summer. It has been said that there is nothing quite as dead as a cold steam locomotive and nothing quite as alive as one under steam."
It's true.

Seven Corners is a commercial center and census-designated place (CDP) in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. The population was 9,255 at the 2010 census. Seven Corners has a "Falls Church" mailing address but is not within the independent City of Falls Church, Virginia. The area got its name from the intersection of State Route 7 (Leesburg Pike and East Broad Street), U.S. Route 50 (Arlington Boulevard), State Route 613 (Sleepy Hollow Road), State Route 338 (Hillwood Avenue) and Wilson Boulevard (also part of State Route 613). The junction of these four roads once created seven corners.

Rush to deploy clean energy tech is costly recipe for failure -- report
Environmentalists' push to rapidly deploy existing clean energy technology instead of focusing on innovation will be an expensive and possibly failed path for reducing heat-trapping carbon emissions, according to a report released today by a nonpartisan Washington, D.C., think tank.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation report calls for emphasizing five phases of innovation -- not just deployment -- to bring about energy breakthroughs that countries will want out of "self-interest."
The five phases of the "innovation ecosystem" are research, development, demonstration, market formation and, finally, deployment.
The "deployment consensus," the report says, has ruled recent clean energy policy.
In the past three years, 71 percent of direct federal investments in clean energy went to deployment and public investment tripled in deployment and procurement, while R&D and demonstration projects were steady or declined.
Since the expiration of the 2009 stimulus act, public investments in research, development and demonstration projects fell 30 percent to $5.1 billion, while investments in tax expenditures for clean energy almost tripled to $10.9 billion in fiscal 2011 before falling to $6.5 billion in fiscal 2012, the report says.
The difference, the report says, is that deployment tends to emphasize "incremental" innovation that lowers the cost of existing technologies, while transformational innovation that would advance the reductions in carbon emissions is paid "lip service" and is underfunded.
Launched in 2006, ITIF promotes federal innovation policy on a wide range of fronts -- from environmental protection to defense, health care and telecommunications. The report released by the group today tries to explain the "deployment consensus" problem by comparing it to a push to colonize the moon with Apollo-age technology.
"Achieving widespread renewable energy adoption with existing technologies is technically feasible -- the United States achieved multiple moon landings over the course of the Apollo program -- and given enough funding, a colony could conceivably be established," the report says. "But the amount of investment required for realizing this future would be astronomical and the performance of such a colony would not meet high standards of health, food, water, and safety, similar to renewable energy intermittency not meeting the reliability standards of energy consumers."
Policies supporting deployment, the report says, "can help support innovation, particularly if these policies tie the deployment of next-generation, breakthrough technologies to cost and performance improvements, called 'smart' deployment. In short, advancing globally cost-competitive clean energy solutions to climate change requires a shift from a Deployment Consensus to an Innovation Consensus."
Deployment advocates, overall, underestimate the storage and integration issues of clean energy on the grid; focus too much on just wind, solar and water; argue that regulations will sufficiently spur innovation; and focus too much on just what will work in the U.S. when it is a global issue, the report says.
Instead, what is necessary is a substantial boost in global investment in research, development and demonstration -- $15 billion annually in the United States alone; dedicated revenue streams for innovation; improved government procurement of next-generation technologies; reformation of the national laboratory system; and revised deployment policies so that cost reductions and performance improvement are tied to the objectives, the report says.
Joseph Romm, a fellow at the Center for American Progress -- whom the report highlights as a key figure in the "deploy, deploy, deploy" environmental policy -- said the report presents a false choice.
"The ITIF report is pure nonsense," Romm said in an email. "Analysis by the International Energy Agency makes clear that key clean energy technologies have an experience curve or learning curve whereby growth in the marketplace inevitably drives down prices. While the 'majority of clean energy advocates' support continued R&D -- contrary to the false choice ITIF seems to present -- we understand that achieving the goal of lower prices for clean energy is best done through a combination of policies that include R&D, but emphasize deployment."
'More than one way to skin this cat'
In a panel discussion on the report at ITIF's office in Washington, Armond Cohen, executive director of the Clean Air Task Force, said the wind industry is facing a plateau in cost reductions because of the skewed emphasis on deployment.
Companies would rather just use current technologies to get the investment tax credits rather than employing newer wind technology that could start to address the issues of dispatching the wind generation at the right time and integration onto the grid -- both key issues for the adoption of higher amounts of wind.
Cohen agreed with the report's idea of having "smart deployment" that linked deployment to innovation. For example, he said, the recent California mandate that utilities use 1.3 gigawatts of energy storage by 2020 does not have any focus on innovation, and utilities will instead just use the current less-efficient technologies "off the shelf."
"My guess is what they come up with is a lot of big battery packs," he said. "It might get us to how to better mass-produce it, but there isn't going to be a lot of innovation."
It is important to acknowledge the success of the traditional deployment policy but perhaps prepare policymakers to be open to the next generation of programs or additional ways of spending money, he added.
"Political conversation can open up a lot of ways to see that there is more than one way to skin this cat," he said.
Margot Anderson, executive director of the Energy Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, said the key fear about eliminating policies like the production tax credit for renewables is that "nothing replaces them."
"Having the kind of conversation you are trying to push is important," she said. "Is it better to keep the PTC or try to change it around the edges, or hope to pick up something else at a later date," especially in the current political environment?
But, she noted, states have a great opportunity to work with and think about smart deployment as they try to meet upcoming U.S. EPA requirements for emissions from power plants.

Gambling movies typically focus on poker or ponies, games that offer directors a few minutes to sweat each bet. Faster games like blackjack are rare on screen. Robert Luketic's 21 suggests Hollywood has been missing a good bet.
The movie installs an MTV story line to the card-counting mechanics detailed in Ben Mezrich's book Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions. Trained by a math professor to know what's coming next in the deck, these high rollers enjoyed an astounding table streak until they got caught.
Since this is a highly cognitive scam, the challenge for Luketic was to make thinking interesting. The method of counting cards isn't simple, nor does 21 want it to appear that way (casinos will be happy about that).
But the movie makes it seem
as flashy and as enviable as the Las Vegas lifestyle these con artists embrace, with whip-crack flashbacks to code lessons and fetishistic peeks at cards and chips.
Jim Sturgess — the heartthrob of Across the Universe — plays Ben Campbell, a gifted student who wants to go to Harvard Medical School but can't afford it. A free-ride scholarship seems out of reach. Ben's knack for numbers and instinct for odds catches the eye of professor Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey, smooth as always). Micky has a team of equally gifted students who spend weekends breaking Vegas banks.
One of the young grifters is Jill Taylor (Kate Bosworth, who played Spacey's wife in Beyond the Sea). Ben has a crush on Jill that Micky uses to the gang's advantage. Once the cards start flipping, after a reel of padded exposition, 21 becomes a pretty cool movie experience.
The rush of winning is made palpable by Russell Carpenter's camera work, gaining full access to some of Vegas' best money pits, and a solid pop score that makes musical interludes appealing for a change. Ben is the only player with any semblance of characterization; the rest are identifiable only by their diverse looks and quirks.
Meanwhile, a formidable nemesis arises in Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne), an old-school casino security man being replaced by face-scan technology. Cole needs to prove he's still necessary, and keen eyes on closed-circuit TV screens make Ben a target. Counting cards isn't illegal, but jail would be less painful than Cole getting his mitts on you.
Round and round 21 goes, and where it stops you won't exactly figure out.
Although 21 isn't foolproof, it fooled me a little bit.
The film is nothing more than a solid popcorn movie, offering a chance to see two acting pros and a bunch of attractive, relatively unknown actors keeping up. It isn't as gritty as Rounders or as glamorous as Danny Ocean's scams, but anyone stepping to the box office window is making a safe bet.

Texas Public Policy Foundation's David Guenthner Says This Is A Major Week For School Choice In Texas [AUDIO]
On the Tuesday edition of The Chad Hasty Show, David Guenthner from the Texas Public Policy Foundation talked with Chad Hasty about the latest coming out of the Texas legislative session.
Today is a big day for school choice in the legislature. The legislature is set to vote on whether or not to allow scholarship tax credits for businesses, in which businesses who donate to organizations can receive a credit against some of their taxes. However, Guenthner pointed out that the businesses themselves didn't seem too concerned about the proposal, at least for now, and that the real argument is between those that are for school choice, and those who are against.
Guenthner also discussed last week's school voucher vote, in which the legislature voted on an amendment that would prohibit certain funding for scholarship tax credits and school vouchers. Guenthner explained that it was more of a "symbolic" vote, and that it wouldn't have as great of a bearing on school choice as many people originally thought.
"If you look at how the amendment is written, it would actually not preclude any of the major bills from moving forward…the key to that amendment is how they wrote it. It deals with appropriated funds to the Texas Education Agency and that those could not be used for tax credit scholarships or for vouchers. And none of the bills appropriate funds to the Texas Education Agency for that purpose, so they can all move forward."
Throughout the Texas legislative session, you can listen to David Guenthner Tuesdays at 9:05 during The Chad Hasty Show on NewsTalk 790 KFYO. For more information on the Texas Public Policy Foundation, visit their website at texaspolicy.com. You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter @TPPF.

Home Schooling Family Receives Unexpected Subpoena
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURIAn HSLDA member family in the St. Louis, Missouri, area was served with a subpoena yesterday requiring that they submit proof of their home schooling to the county prosecutor.
The family had been the subject of a call to social services alleging that their seven-year-old child could not read. As is required by Missouri law, social services turned the allegation over to the school, who then passed it on to the local prosecuting attorney.
The attorney then served a subpoena on the family, which stated that they must bring the following information to the prosecutor's office:
- "A plan book, diary, or other written record indicating subjects taught and activities engaged in; (to include at least one thousand hours of instruction, at least six hundred hours of which will be in reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies and science or academic courses that are related to the aforementioned subject areas and consonant with [the child]'s age and ability; and
- A portfolio of samples of [the child]'s academic work; and
- A record of evaluations of [the child]'s academic progress; or
- Other written, or credible evidence equivalent to number 1-3 above."
Alarmed by receiving this subpoena without any notice beforehand, the family immediately called HSLDA for assistance. We are currently negotiating with the prosecutor to resolve this matter.

Semtech Sees First Low Power Networking Chip Deployment
Camarillo-based Semtech said today that it has seen its first deployment of its low power, wide area networking chipsets in North America, via network-as-a-service provider Senet. According to Semtech, Senet has deployed 50 towers with a network coverage of more than 15,000 square miles, using Semtech's LoRa technology, for an Internet-of-Things application. Semtech's technology is initially being used by a utility delivering propane and heating fuel. The two said the network is now also being aimed at other, Internet-of-Things verticals, such as agriculture, smart parking, building management, supply chain management, water metering, water leak detection, industrial asset tracking and healthcare.

Names of each of the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster have been read aloud in a powerful opening to the fresh inquests into their deaths.
Against a backdrop of revered silence, relatives wept quietly as each name was slowly read to the jury by counsel to the inquests, Christina Lambert QC.
Ms Lambert's voice cracked as she calmly proceeded through the emotional roll call before the jurors were sworn in.
A panel of seven women and four men have been told the long-awaited hearing, held in a specially fitted building on the outskirts of Warrington in Cheshire, could last a year.
Coroner Lord Justice Goldring is expected to open the case this afternoon.
Jurors on the inquest, who have already filled in questionnaires to decide their suitability to hear the case, were also asked yesterday if they supported Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest or Liverpool football clubs.
A list of witnesses was also handed to the panel to see if the jurors know any of them.
The inquest site in Birchwood Business Park is a specially fitted office block that includes a 400 sq.m courtroom with seating for 286 members of the public and 92 advocates.
Later in the week, after the coroner has opened the case, a series of "pen portraits" of all the victims will be presented to the court over the next month.
Britain's worst sporting disaster happened in Sheffield on 15 April 1989 during Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest as thousands of fans were crushed on the ground's Leppings Lane terrace.
Verdicts of accidental death from the original Hillsborough inquest in March 1991 were quashed in December 2012.

All Hallows' Eve: The Rap Edition
Without putting too much of myself out there I, for lack of a better term, am a cheapskate when it comes to many things. Save for my rent-slash-bills, the occasional pair of sneakers and bum liqueurs, I do not like spending a lot of money when I do not need to at all. Fortunately, things like good fashion – good fashion, not the stuff that lines Canal Street next to the African and Caribbean dudes hocking bootleg Gucci belts on the street – is relatively inexpensive if you look in the right places. While food is definitely a priority in life it is possible to find cheap and healthy eats, if not entirely difficult to do so. And music… well, we all know about that one.
With this weekend being Halloween, it provides the perfect opportunity to be as cheap as possible and still front like you're being "creative" with it. This year I'm either going to dress up as Bill Cosby circa 1984 (complete with gaudy sweater given to me by my mother in her odd quest to continue to try to "surprise" me with clothes), or steal some of a friend's "My Name Is" tags and go ham with those. I'm likely going to go with my first choice this year, however: a guest on the "Maury Povich Show." It's quite simple, really: all I have to do is scream out "That baby ain't mine! None of my family got a loose neck like that!" a lot, then dance around when I discover that the kid actually isn't mine.
Cheap, yet effective.
Halloween is that one day out of the year where it's all right to be something you're not, from women parading around in scantily-clad outfits they "purchased for the occasion" (*insert Cam True Mag Face*), to being a member of the Na'vi tribe [1]. This could perhaps be the perfect day for a lot of rapsters too, what with them getting the opportunity to portray as if they've had a successful career. Perhaps then those false boosts of self-confidence will either inspire them to become better and work harder at their craft, or just give it up altogether.
Here's to hoping it's the latter more than the former. I'm just saying.
[1] Although – according to how Rocsi looks on today's episode of "106 & Park" – that may not be the best idea for a costume. Yikes!

Daily Sitka Sentinel
Sitka Boys, Girls Win Region V Titles
KETCHIKAN – The Sitka High Lady Wolves won their second 3A Southeast title in three years Friday, knocking off Craig 48-37 in a rematch of the 2011 girls championship game.
The Sitka High were also part of a championship game rematch Friday and they too exacted revenge on their 2011 opponent. The Wolves played what may have been their best game of the season and beat Mt. Edgecumbe 53-45 to claim the first Southeast title for the SHS boys program since 2002, when Sitka was a 4A school. It was the first 3A title for the SHS since they joined the conference before the 2008-09 season.
Both the Wolves and Lady Wolves will be the top seed out of Southeast at the 3A state tournament, which opens March 15 in Anchorage.
After their wins Friday, the SHS boys and girls were facing possible crossover games against Juneau-Douglas Saturday night at Kayhi.
The Lady Wolves lost the 2011 title game to Craig in Juneau. This time around the Lady Wolves were too much for the Lady Panthers as Sitka finished an undefeated conference season at 14-0. The Lady Wolves were down 12-11 after the first quarter, but took the lead at 16-14 and never trailed again. Twice in the third quarter Sitka went up 9 points only to have Craig answer back with two straight buckets to get back with 5. But a three at the end of the third quarter by Kelsi Kubik put the Lady Wolves up 36-27 and seemed to finally take the wind out of the Lady Panthers' sails.
Craig rallied again and scored two straight buckets to again get within 5, this time with about 6 minutes left. Leading 38-33, the Lady Wolves scored the next 4 points and pushed the final margin to 11 points.
Megan Reid had 12 points for Sitka, while Sariah Ady and Sidney Riggs each had 9. Karly Fuller got 7 points, Kubic ended up with 5 and Katina Wathen had 4. Maggie Dinon got 12 to pace Craig, but Sitka held Lady Panthers leading scorer Melissa Castle to 5 points. Castle hit a three in the first minute of the game, but managed just one bucket the rest of the way.
The Sitka High Wolves came into Friday's championship game looking for a third straight win over the Mt. Edgecumbe Braves. Both regular season games between the two teams were tight, with MEHS holding a fourth quarter lead each time. On Friday, the Wolves led wire-to-wire. Edgecumbe got wihtin 4 early in the third quarter, but the Wolves stayed in control, pushing their lead to 11 at 49-38 late in the fourth quarter. Dominique Hall hit a three from halfcourt that beat the final buzzer to cut the Sitka lead to 8.
The Wolves played an outstanding defensive game, using their man-to-man set to slow down Mt. Edgecumbe's dribble-drive game. And the Wolves were patient against Mt. Edgecumbe's zone, as they avoided the trap of settling for outside jumpers. Mik Potrzuski led Sitka with 14 points, Devan Romine scored 13 and Bae Widmier got 9. Hunter Lee chipped in 6 and Jon De La Cruz added 6 of his own. Hall and Kacy Green had 13 each for MEHS, while Jaylin Prince added 9.
With the loss, Mt. Edgecumbe fell into the state play-in game Saturday. The Braves will battle either Metlakatla for Craig for Southeast's second state berth. The Braves beat Sitka in the 2011 3A Region V championship game and were playing in their third straight title title Friday at Kayhi.

This is a joint entry between Terri Dendy (in italics) and Melanie Vandenbrouck about the beautiful encounters Museum staff make in the stores.
As a Documentation and Audit Assistant within the Collections Management department I spend my day enhancing the records we hold on the collections management database (MIMSY XG) and hiding away behind the scenes auditing the collection. Royal Museums Greenwich has a remarkable and envied rolling audit programme with annual checks on the majority of the museums holdings, including an ongoing audit of the Prints and Drawings Collection.
Auditing is an incredibly important cog in the museum machine. Regularly checking that the locations, descriptions and numbers held on the database match the tangible object means that the museum can be completely accountable for its collection.
Nonetheless auditing large collections is a fantastic perk of working in documentation, it's always thrilling to see the objects that aren't on display and often see the museum's unusual holdings. Auditing the Prints and Drawings collection does really highlight how diverse the collection can be, especially recently when among the numerous drawings of boats and ships Melanie and I encountered drawings from esteemed marine painter Edward William Cooke. The collection now carefully categorised by his age show the development of his art from the age of four.
The collection is enchanting and in the earlier drawings his work is no different to that of any other four year old with adults in enlarged hats and depictions of cats and elephants.
My favourite drawing is one that really reflects his surroundings – the printing press. As the son of an engraver Edward would have spent much of his childhood in the presence of such a piece of equipment and the company of artists that allowed him to develop his skill into the established painter.
Edward William Cooke (1811-1880) was a marine painter whose successful career was matched by a prolific output. Raised in an artistic family, he showed a precocious talent, as can be seen from the remarkable collection of early drawings that have come to us.
His earliest drawings are very touching, and one is able, leafing through the albums, to see his progress, how his hand became more assured, precise and his style more personal. He is also an acute observer of the world around him.
He was trained by his father, the engraver George Cooke (1781-1834), and some touching letters interspersed among the drawings show how the hard-working pupil was trying to impress his teacher: 'My Dear Father', he writes in 1820, 'If I write a very good copy and do another sum, may I model toms [sic] ear for thomas boys [sic]'.
Two years later, he writes again: 'As I have Drawn a good many of your curiosities, may I now do what you so long promised me, that is, may I sketch them in a manner superlatively well cribbly and accurate'.
Like most artists, Cooke learnt by copying: many of his drawings reproduce the work of earlier artists, which he would probably have known from prints. He (or his father, who may have chosen his early models) seemed to have had a fondness for Dutch pastoral landscapes and animal subjects: several of his drawings are inspired by Nicolaes Berghem [Berchem], Paul Potter or Karel Dujardin.
As Cooke's draftsmanship improved, he went from copying 'flat art' to copying sculpture – and the usual model for that being the antique (several of the sketches are evidently taken from busts and reliefs in the British Museum). But the portraits he made of people around him, such as the profile of Mrs Eglinton, or the studies of infants' hands and feet (possibly those of one of his younger sisters).
He also had a sense of humour, and among more serious, academic drawings can be found caricatures, droll characters and genre scenes.
Interestingly for an artist who made his fame as a marine painter, there are remarkably few drawings of ships, boats and coastal scenes among the childhood albums.
By the time he reached adolescence, Cooke had little to envy in the draughtsmanship of his elders.
In terms of painting, he famously benefited from the advice of his father's associates, David Roberts and Clarkson Stanfield, making sketches for the latter in 1826. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1835, aged 24. As he reached artistic maturity, Cooke soon came to be considered one of the principal followers of Stanfield, then the foremost marine painter in England. (The reputation of doyen of marine painting fell on his shoulders at Stanfield's death).
These delightful drawings and sketches are not the only treasures the Museum holds from this artist: there are many more (Cooke was an inveterate traveler and drew constantly on his journeys), as well as paintings, making the National Maritime Museum the principal repository for this fascinating artist's work. Many of the drawings can be seen at the Caird Library by ordering the objects through Collections Online.

MOUNT VERNON – Cornell sophomore guard Rikki Mulloy has been named Midwest Conference Women's Basketball Performer of the Week for the period ending Dec. 23.
Mulloy, of Phoenix, Ariz., averaged 20.5 points and hit 7-of-15 3-point goals in leading the unbeaten Rams (11-0 overall, 6-0 MWC) to a pair of conference wins last week. She made 6-of-7 free throws and collected 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game.
Mulloy netted a season-high 24 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the floor in Cornell's 75-56 home rout of Illinois College Dec. 19. She then led the Rams to a big 64-60 road win Saturday over 23rd-ranked and previously-unbeaten Monmouth.

London, Jan. 28 (ANI): David Beckham showed that he is still down to earth by visiting a London pub on Sunday evening for a good old fashioned pint.
The 37-year-old former England football team captain was seen enjoying a drink with a friend in a watering hole The Builder's Arms in Kensington, the Daily Mail reported.

George Weigel on Cardinal Dolan and the new evangelization :
The irrepressibly effervescent personality of Cardinal Timothy Dolan may tempt some to think of the archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as the latest in a line of glad-handing Irish-American prelates, long on blarney and short on depth. Succumbing to that temptation would be a very serious mistake. For Cardinal Dolan is a man of formidable intelligence, a historian trained in the school of the late John Tracy Ellis, dean of the classic historians of Catholicism in the United States.

Here's the scenario:
I have a user form with 15 text boxes named form1.text1, .text2, .text3 etc.
Values will be transferred to these text boxes, but the number of text boxes that values will be transferred to will vary. I need to create a loop that will increment the name of the text box by 1 each time the loop is run.
I've tried every imaginable form of set statement, variable, etc. and get different kinds of error statements......"Type mismatch, With stetment not set, etc."
Here's the loop I need:
For trsf = 1 to num (a variable indicating the #of times loop will run) step 1
form1.text1.value = first value
num = num - 1
next trsf
The next time the loop runs, the text box name should be text1+1 or text2, etc., etc. etc., and I can't seem to figure out how to change the name so that it is recognizable as an object in the form.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Something like this,
VB:Dim trsf As Integer For trsf = 1 To 3 Me.Controls("Textbox" & trsf).Text = "Value " & trsf Next trsf
Once again you have saved my bacon. I had tried the me.controls statement but forgot to use the brackets. Simple solution and works great.
Hmmmmmmmmm, now if only I could figure out how to mark this post as solved.

FBO chain Trajen has purchased three more FBOs, bringing its total to 22 facilities. Trajen bought the three FBOs–located at Palwaukee Airport in Wheeling, Ill., and in Waukesha and Kenosha, Wis.–from North American Jet. The Kenosha facility is primarily a satellite maintenance base, according to Donald Prescott, vice president for strategic planning and corporate development. At the Waukesha facility, he added, "We'll be adding more turbine maintenance capability. It's a great location for the corporate operator."

We demonstrate a time-resolved single-photon detection technique based on ultrafast sum-frequency generation, providing femtosecond measurement capability for single photons in photonic quantum information processing. Noncollinear broadband upconversion in periodically poled MgO-doped stoichiometric lithium tantalate with an ultrafast pump and detection with a Si single-photon counter enable efficient detection of IR photons and temporal resolution of . We utilize the timing resolution to map the generation efficiency profile along the propagation axis of a periodically poled crystal, revealing its local grating quality with millimeter resolution. We also apply the technique to two-photon coincidence measurements and directly demonstrate time anticorrelation between coincident-frequency entangled photons that are parametrically generated under extended phase-matching conditions.

text: Little big scorer By Tommy R. Atkinson October 19, 2013 Story Share Kenny Kemp St. Albans' senior Jack Wiles leads the Kanawha Valley with 31 goals. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jack Wiles packs quite a punch in his 5-foot-5, 120-pound frame.The St. Albans senior leads the Kanawha Valley with 31 goals heading into this week's sectional tournaments. With the help of Wiles' offensive prowess, the Red Dragons have a chance to extend their season beyond the first round for the first time in recent memory."That's one of my biggest advantages,'' said Wiles of his size after Thursday's game at Cross Lanes Christian. "I enjoy being small.''Wiles has been standing tall in helping No. 18 SA (10-9-2) gain respectability this season. The Red Dragons have been in the state coaches association's Class AAA top 20 rankings for every week but the first and reached as high as No. 11."He means everything to the team,'' said SA first-year coach Cameron Ashley, who was an assistant the past two seasons. "The ball funnels through him. He always gives his hardest [effort], but more importantly he's a leader to all the guys."He helps them out more than anything else. If a player is having a hard game he'll go up to them quietly and go, 'Hey, man, settle down, you'll be fine. Just play your game.'"At practice he'll be straightforward with players. He's like, 'This is not going to work. You have to try it like this. This'll work. Trust me.' A lot of the players believe in him.'' The Red Dragons beat defending state champion Hurricane 3-0 during the regular season. SA owned a 1-17-1 record in 2011 and went 4-12-2 last year."The goals are just the icing on the cake,'' Wiles said. "I just love winning. We didn't lose very many seniors."On top of that, we had six great freshmen come up this year, which I think is the key. They all play year round. They pass and get good plays going.''After netting 28 goals through SA's first 13 games, Wiles has been slowed to three in the last eight. "Yeah,'' smiled Wiles, "people know. Double- and triple-teams every game. It's very frustrating. You've just got to work around it and spread the field. Just keep moving. I'm in the back of [opponents'] minds so if I'm moving and confusing them that's sort of how I get my offensive game to go.''Ashley said Wiles has earned the respect of opposing coaches and players."I'll quote Nitro coach [Brian Young] at the [Mountain State Athletic Conference] all-conference meeting when he recommended Jack for player of the year,'' said Ashley. "He said [Jack's] a nightmare for defenses. So quick. He can hit his top speed in two or three steps. His ball control and ball skills ... what he can do with a ball!"One of the things he loves to do, he'll go really fast then kind of slow up and get that defender to relax then just turn it on again. The defenders can't stop it. They can't catch up fast enough. By the time they can catch up, he's already turned the corner.'' Wiles said playing on a travel team with many of Hurricane's players from last year's title team has helped his development. Wiles scored 12 goals last year for the Red Dragons and didn't play much varsity as a freshman. "That was really good for me,'' said Wiles of playing with all-staters. "I've played all year round the past five or six years. I was not planning on this at all. I was just going to go and try to win some games, but the goals came.''Wiles said no colleges have contacted him about playing beyond high school."After the fourth game this year every team knew who Jack Wiles was,'' Ashley said. "He's really good at recognizing what's working and what's not working and changing up pretty quickly. I think he's too talented not to be playing somewhere in college. It's been a pleasure coaching him. He's one of my favorites because he just works so hard.''Wiles hopes to extend his prep career a few more games. SA's opening-round sectional opponent is Hurricane, a team the Red Dragons have already defeated."I think we've got something left,'' he said. Reach Tommy R. Atkinson at email@example.com or 304-348-4811.

Music is Hillary's background and I was impressed by her reputation even before I met her in person. She'd worked with major artists like Bananarama, the original 'girl power' band, who'd sold millions of albums worldwide, and she'd attended iconic events like Band Aid.
I remember being fascinated that she managed the 'Bananas' through their heyday and is still alive to tell the tale! Those girls were wild and they're still wild now. I remain fascinated by that even today and I'm trying to persuade them to write the ultimate autobiography of girl power - Pop and Roll - because they've done it all.
Ours was an interesting partnership because in music, I'd only previously been managed by one other person – a man (Terry Blamey). The music management business is traditionally a guy's world.
I met Hillary through a friend and we really worked well together. We flew around the world several times, got the job done, and still managed to have some girly fun along the way.
Hillary had an excellent handle on the artists she worked with, understanding what they wanted and making sure that translated into success. Her greatest strengths are communication, liaison and negotiation – working out the needs of the artist and the record company and helping them to meet somewhere in the middle.
The most valuable lesson she taught me was how to tackle a heavy workload. I use to look at a whole project and think: "it's insurmountable, arrggghhhhhh!" Hillary taught me to break things down into do-able bite-sized chunks and not to think all the way to the tenth step in a project when you're actually only at the step one. She showed me how to take things on, bit by bit.
That coaching has never been more helpful to me than in the past 18 months of my whirlwind life. So, in honour of International Women's Day, I'm here to say a big thank you to Hillary Shaw.
