Regulatory engines revving over energy
It's unlikely that the 2013 regulatory lineup at the Department of Energy will be as big a hit as its long-ago efforts to get Americans to turn right on a red light. (It saves fuel, especially in delivery trucks.) But for in-house lawyers and their outside counsel, Energy and related agencies like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission are still revving their engines.

rica's life seems to be bound by rules and conventions, rather than acting on what may be deep in her heart. Ethan has just moved in, yet he feels threatened by Erica's relationship with Kai. Erica, with Ethan in tow, needs to do some research for her sex book at a bona fide sex club, where many social rules are broken. To allow her to feel what life is like without these conventions, Dr. Tom gives her the entire day again, this time how she wants it to play out. The only thing that will exist on her day after the fact is her memory of it. So she lets loose, and spends much of the day with the only person who can really appreciate it, Kai. Erica learns that even though nothing during her day is real, it feels like it's real - the good and the bad - and that she'll know what others truly believe and think after the day is over.Résumé de IMDb.com

12 CFR 1070.17 - Requests for expedited processing.
(a)In general. The CFPB shall process a request on an expedited basis whenever a requester demonstrates a compelling need for expedited processing in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph or in other cases that the CFPB deems appropriate.
(b)Form and content of a request for expedited processing. A request for expedited processing shall be made as follows:
(1) A request for expedited processing shall be made in writing or by electronic means and submitted as part of a request for records in accordance with section 1070.14(b). When a request for records includes a request for expedited processing, the request shall be labeled "Expedited Processing Requested."
(2) A request for expedited processing shall contain a statement that demonstrates a compelling need for the requester to obtain expedited processing of the requested records. A "compelling need" is defined as follows:
(i) Failure to obtain the requested records on an expedited basis could reasonably be expected to pose an imminent threat to the life or physical safety of an individual. The requester shall fully explain the circumstances warranting such an expected threat so that the CFPB may make a reasoned determination that a delay in obtaining the requested records could pose such a threat; or
(ii) With respect to a request made by a person primarily engaged in disseminating information, urgency to inform the public concerning actual or alleged Federal government activity. A person "primarily engaged in disseminating information" does not include individuals who are engaged only incidentally in the dissemination of information. The standard of "urgency to inform" requires that the records requested pertain to a matter of current exigency to the American public and that delaying a response to a request for records would compromise a significant recognized interest to and throughout the American general public. The requester must adequately explain the matter or activity and why the records sought are necessary to be provided on an expedited basis.
(3) The requester shall certify the written statement that purports to demonstrate a compelling need for expedited processing to be true and correct to the best of the requester's knowledge and belief. The certification must be in the form prescribed by 28 U.S.C. 1746: "I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. Executed on [date]." The requester shall mail or submit electronically a copy of such written certification to the Chief FOIA Officer as set forth in § 1070.14(b) of this subpart. The CFPB may waive this certification requirement in appropriate circumstances.
(c)Determinations of requests for expedited processing. Within ten (10) calendar days of its receipt of a request for expedited processing, the CFPB shall decide whether to grant it and shall notify the requester of the determination in writing.
(d)Effect of granting requests for expedited processing. If the CFPB grants a request for expedited processing, then the CFPB shall give the expedited request priority over non-expedited requests and shall process the expedited request as soon as practicable. The CFPB may assign expedited requests to their own simple and complex processing tracks based upon the amount of work and/or time needed to process them. Within each such track, an expedited request shall be processed in the order of its receipt.
(e)Appeals of denials of requests for expedited processing. If the CFPB denies a request for expedited processing, then the requester shall have the right to submit an appeal of the denial determination in accordance with § 1070.21 of this subpart. The CFPB shall communicate this appeal right as part of its written notification to the requester denying expedited processing. The requester shall label its appeal request "Appeal for Expedited Processing." The CFPB shall act expeditiously upon an appeal of a denial of a request for expedited processing.
Title 12 published on 17-Jun-2017 04:33

She Believed A Complete Stranger Instead Of Her FriendMy friend, El, I considered her like my older sister. I loved her to death. We worked in the same school and even when I was transferred to a different school we still kept in touch. Well one summer I took a course at a college as a visiting student to get more credits. Well this professor looked like El. So I told El and she thought it was pretty funny. Being that I get along with everyone, i even told the professor and she laughed and thought it was funny too. So those 2 began to communicate and the professor introduced El to a guy who thought would be a good match for her. Well let's just fast forward to 7 months later. This guy never bothered to see her in those 7 months. He lied to El and broke her heart several times. And this was my friend so I was always there to cheer her up whenever she was down. The night before my bday El asked if i was the guy! Confused and shocked, i said no. She's spoken on the phone with him. She knows what he looks like. Why ask something as crazy as that! I said no and continued to do what I was doing. A few weeks later I get a call from public safety from that college. Apparently El was harassing the professor and the professor (being a coward) denied knowing any of us and asked to fix this. So I told public safety the story and he didn't believe a word I said. He told me he was going to arrest El for harassing her and me for my involvement! I freaked out! Both El and I are teachers and if we get arrested we lose our jobs. I didn't wanna risk that. So i told this public safety guy a complete lie. I "admitted" to being this guy. As sick as i felt, t was either I lose my job or I lose a friend. With the way this economy is and all the student loans I owe... I need the money. So I told him all this stuff that isn't possible and he believed every word I said. funny thing is I know so much about computers the things that I said was not possible or even if it was... you'd need special software/equipment etc.... and he didnt know that. He just believed it. If he wasnt gonna believe the truth i may as well just make something up, right? I left the office so sick, i was throwing up. I didn't eat for months. I knew my friend would hate me but for her life and job I saved her. She could've gotten arrested, lost her teaching job and license and that's it... she cant get a job anywhere else. what does El do? A friendship of 6 yrs immediately died by her believing public safety and never once asking me why i said what I said to him in that office. She told me to leave her alone and never speak to her again. So i did just that out of respect. She believed a stranger and never approached me. I did so much for her. Not only was i always there to cheer her up, I lent her money because she was broke at one point due to renovating her home. I paid for her food whenever we went to have lunch. When we took trips with our friends I paid for her share cuz of how broke she was. And I valued the friendship. A lot. I guess she didnt. Instead, she made awful lies about me to our friends and they all believe her and not me. I've lost respect from all our mutual friends. I just can't believe that she would do this after all I did for her. And I'm not even the type to hurt someone. With work, school, my own love life, my financial situation.... I don't have time to concoct a person and toy with her heart. I don't have that much time on my hands. It's just common sense. And public safety... they pretty much fooled me cuz only later did I find out they have no power to arrest because they're just security. Nothing more. But this guy really fooled me and broke up a great friendship... and my friend believed a complete stranger and not me.
khushali11 31-35, F 1 Response 1 Sep 26, 2011
Sounds to me, you are more of a friend to her than she is to you. Probably have been for a long time, but you just never noticed. Do not waste any more time with El, she is an idiot and does not deserve a friendship like yours.

PRO HOCKEY; LaFontaine Relies on Family
By ROBIN FINN
Published: December 23, 1990
CENTERPORT, L.I.— On the surface, it makes the prettiest of holiday tableaux.
Pat LaFontaine, the doe-eyed Islander who has handled his lonely position as the team's sole superstar for four of his seven seasons with a bashful gratitude, comes home from a harrowing December practice session to a scene straight out of Currier and Ives. Two adoring dogs wrap themselves around him at the basement door, his five-week-old daughter, Sarah, is blissfully asleep in her portable bassinet atop the kitchen table, and his wife, Marybeth, is responsible for the welcoming waft of freshly-baked brownies.
There are poinsettias and a Christmas tree, countless packages for the newborn, an air of domestic security that lets LaFontaine know he is appreciated here. "Even though I come fourth in line after my daughter and the dogs," he said as he set the table for lunch.
But there is a Scrooge lurking in the background of this holiday scene: serene about his ranking on the home front, LaFontaine is no longer sure of his place in the Islander pecking order. And because of that there is a dim chance the LaFontaines may not be celebrating in this fashion in this hilltop home by this time next year. By then LaFontaine, who for seven months has awaited a resolution of a management-initiated contract negotiation, may be an Islander no more.
A year ago that prospect would have been as inconceivable as the notion of cutting his ties to his dogs, the ubiquitous Fred and Barney, because he developed an allergy to them. LaFontaine saw himself as a dog owner, and Islander, forever.
Now he's not so sure about the latter; his disappointment in the ambiguous negotiating stance taken by the Islanders' general manager, Bill Torrey, and the team owner, John Pickett, is to blame.
"For me, the best part of life has been this family situation, having this home, and it's all happened as part of being an Islander and living out a dream," LaFontaine said. "But I've come to the great realization that there is a business side to this job I love, and in the past seven months I've come to see where I stand in the view of those two people. Let's just say our views are different: now I'm playing for my coach, my teammates, and the fans, but that's it. The obligation ends there."
LaFontaine has said the rift is as much about respect as money: he feels he has been strung along. Torrey claims LaFontaine and his agent have an inflated opinion of the club's financial debt to him.
"We look like the bad guys because we haven't opened up the bank vault and given him all he wants," said Torrey, who "very reluctantly" spoke out on the issue last week. "I'm the heavy no matter what I do: He's our most identifiable player, I have no complaints with him, and we're not interested in trading him. It's just a matter of finding the correct market value."
LaFontaine's gradual estrangement from his employers was kindled last May by what appeared to be a compliment. On the strength of his career-high 54 goals and 105 points, contributions that were indisputably essential to his team's grasp of the final Patrick Division playoff berth, the player and his agent, Don Meehan, were informed by Torrey that the club wished to extend his contract.
"It was like dangling a carrot in front of him," said Marybeth LaFontaine, a Huntington, L.I., native.
At the time, the 25-year-old center was in the middle of a four-year pact that paid him $425,000 per season and had a year and an option year remaining. Also at that time, management-initiated renegotiations of existing contracts to superstars like Wayne Gretzky, Raymond Bourque, Steve Yzerman, and Cam Neely were coming into vogue. Torrey did not endorse the practice, nor the attendant publicity, but seemed to be acknowledging he could not ignore its implications.
"The ink isn't dry on one contract and they want to renegotiate, and that's no way to run a business," said Torrey, who implied that he was goaded into making his initial overture to LaFontaine. "Quite candidly, in every conversation I had with his agent last year there were little comments about how underpaid Patty was."
The extension talks proved to be a one-sided conversation according to Meehan, who said this week that he has stopped "chasing" Torrey. Meehan informed the club, which sought a five-year contract that would keep LaFontaine an Islander until he turns 30, that he and his client viewed Yzerman's $1.5 million yearly salary as a logical guideline. The Islanders failed to find logic in that figure and instead offered an increase "that was embarrassing in light of Pat's value to that team and his relevancy to the market," Meehan said.
LaFontaine, who has become an amateur handyman since purchasing his house three years ago, began this summer in the usual way: "For the first two months, after we've either not made the playoffs or gotten knocked out early, I go out to the deck or down to the basement and pound nails. It's a great way of taking out your frustrations. Plus you've built something to show for it later," he said.
By the end of the summer his decking was complete, landscaping intact, the pool and hot tub functional, but his unaltered contract was still a source of dismay.

Leonardo optimistic ahead of Barca test
Leonardo believes Paris Saint-Germain have "a great opportunity" to surprise Barcelona in Wednesday's quarter-final second leg, despite heading to the Camp Nou as underdogs.
• Blog: Individual PSG brilliance
Last week's 2-2 draw in the French capital means Barca have the edge in the tie before playing host to Carlo Ancelotti's men.
However, following Blaise Matuidi's equaliser in added time at the Parc des Princes, PSG's sporting director, 43, is confident his team can end Barcelona's record of not having lost at this stage of the competition in a decade.
"Honestly, we have to take it as a great day for us. We're in an extraordinary position," the Brazilian told media at a charity event on Sunday.
"Barcelona are 20 years into their project. Ever since Cruyff, Barcelona have played like that and they've almost achieved perfection with some incredible generations of players.
"PSG has started a great chapter in its history, but the squad only started working together 20 months ago. However, that doesn't take away the feeling that we have a great opportunity."
Though PSG's chances would be harmed should Thiago Silva, 28, fail to recover from the knee injury that kept him out of this weekend's league win over Rennes, the absence of Lionel Messi, 25, from Barca's ranks would be a significant boon.
After limping off with a thigh injury at half-time in the first leg, the Argentine has been racing to recover his fitness for Wednesday's encounter, but Ancelotti, 53, insisted it makes no difference to his team if the World Player of the Year features or not.
He said: "We mustn't focus on him. With or without him, it's the same for us. We have to concentrate on what we know how to do in the defensive and attacking sectors of the pitch."
Midfielder Matuidi, 25, who is suspended for Wednesday's game, added in L'Equipe: "He's the best player in the world, so of course it changes some things if he doesn't play. But above all we're thinking about playing our game, playing to our strengths and doing what we know best how to do. We're going there to qualify, not as tourists."

Nhan Dan – Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have provided nearly US$16 million and more than EUR 58,000 for the southern province of Dong Nai over the past five years.
These figures were announced on March 19 at a conference to review the operations of NGOs in the province from 2006 to 2011.
According to the report, 67 social welfare and charitable projects were implemented by 57 domestic and foreign NGOs, aiming to improve the living conditions of orphans, the poor, people with disabilities, and people living with HIV-AIDS in the province.
In the 2012-2015 period, Dong Nai will encourage NGOs to focus on humanitarian aid programmes, social welfare and education projects to help improve the lives of people living in difficult circumstances.

This is an old pic of me when I used to be an Activities Director for a center for the elderly called Health For All, there was one located in Downtown, where I worked at, and another in South Sacramento. Well, Downtown was shut down, and they no longer needed me, their loss.

This is a fine antique Victorian Raj period sterling silver brooch depicting the Indian god Krishna standing with his bull Nandi. The brooch is unmarked but tests positive for silver content of sterling grade. The back has an old fashioned pin stem with T hinge and C clasp. The front of the brooch is heavily figured in high relief.
The brooch weighs 29.9 gr. It measures 2.125" x 1.5".
Condition is good. I speculate that this brooch may have once been a buckle that was converted during the Victorian period into a brooch.
This is a lovely ethnic brooch from India with great detail in the design.

Gradual diminution of unemployment among Jews in Palestine was reported here today. The total number presently unemployed is stated to be not more than 16,000. The number needing public assistance, however, is still comparatively large, estimated at 50,000.
Industrial activities have resumed throughout the country. Some factories are reported working on 24-hour shifts. There is no lack of raw materials.

Best Icing For Cookies With Edible Images
Baking By cakesrpretty Updated 24 Sep 2010 , 1:05pm by linedancer
What is the best icing to use for cookies with edible images?
I was using rolled buttercream and found my images bleed once the cookies are put in clear bags.
I was going to switch to royal icing, which is more work to flood the cookies.
Any other icings I can use?
I don't want to use fondant as I don't like the taste.
I use Royal on my cookies with edible images. Hopefully the glace people will respond. I've never used it, but I've read some CCer's use it with edible images
I use glace.. But I let them dry before applying my images.. which I use a brush with vodka or tequila..
I use royal, wait an hour or so for them to get a bit solid, then gently apply the edible image. no extra brushing on of corn syrup, etc. it has worked well for me.
I use fondant, never had trouble with them bleeding, easy to do, too.

BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- With yesterday's modest retreat in stock prices, 2014 officially starts things off as the worst year for stocks since 2008. Not so fast, though -- the sky isn't falling just yet.
>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks You Should Love
After all, the S&P 500's paltry 1.09% decline year-to-date isn't exactly threatening the multi-year rally that we've ridden this far. Instead, that stat speaks more to the strength that the post-2008 rally has enjoyed.
When a 1.09% drop is a notable move, you know you're looking at a pretty good time to own stocks.
But that doesn't mean that it's a good time to own all stocks. The laggard names in the market right now could be downright toxic to your portfolio. And the time to unload them is now.
>>5 Dogs of the Dow to Buy in 2014
That's why we're taking a closer look at five toxic stocks you should be selling in 2014. To be fair, the companies I'm talking about today aren't exactly "junk."
By that, I mean they're not next up in line at bankruptcy court. But that's frankly irrelevant; from a technical analysis standpoint, they're some of the worst positioned names out there right now. For that reason, fundamental investors need to decide how long they're willing to take the pain if they want to hold onto these firms this summer. And for investors looking to buy one of these positions, it makes sense to wait for more favorable technical conditions (and a lower share price) before piling in.
For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution.
>>5 Ways You Can Trade Like a Hedge Fund in 2014
So, without further ado, let's take a look at five toxic stocks you should be unloading.

Kids' education needs
protection, too
Re: the July 12 article "Judge: AZ owes $316M to schools."
Like most of us full-time desert dwellers, I am hunkered down for the summer. Just surviving until the next cool breeze. Thank goodness our state government provides us with a steady stream of entertainment.
Apparently, in the mind of our governor, it's OK to defy a voter-approved state law by withholding money from our schools in the name of protecting "our state's public safety and vulnerable populations." And, according to the chair of our state's House Appropriations Committee, this ruling by the court will create "a real fiscal crisis," while ignoring what damage these cuts to our educational system may have imposed on our children.
I guess our children are not a vulnerable population and shortchanging their education is better than a fiscal crisis. Really!

Small businesses
can't afford family leave
Allowing six weeks of paid leave for a family event is fine for a university or government entity that does not rely on good management to survive. Few small businesses have the resources to offer such a benefit.
Contrary to apparent public opinion, many small businesses do not make a lot of money. They exist for the simple fact that the owners enjoy the pride and freedom being self-employed provides, and even that is being eroded by government regulations and requirements.
I find it hard to believe there is no additional cost borne by the institution providing paid leave.
It is my experience that any employee who is not needed for six weeks is probably not needed at all, but no government agency is willing or able to make that judgment, and we all pay the price for it.

Indeed, UAMC facilities
are not the problem
Re: the July 13 letter "UAMC facilities aren't the problem."
I also agree. About eight years ago I was loaded into the medevac chopper in Cochise County and sent to Tucson and the University of Arizona Medical Center.
I had a fractured cheekbone, fractured eye socket, swelling of the left side of my brain, numerous flesh wounds and my hearing was damaged.
Now the point I want to make is, I don't care if the rooms were designed back in 1971, I could not even tell you what color the walls, the curtains or the floors were.
It is not like I was checking into a five-star hotel.
The doctors and nurses were AAA plus, and that is what counts. Management needs to retain their staff — and get out of the way of the staff doing their jobs.

Because things aren't quite tough enough for first-time home buyers yet:
First home buyers in the firing line
First-home buyers are in the firing line as the Reserve Bank aims its first direct shot at the overvalued housing market.
They can expect to face higher interest rates if they want to borrow more than about 80% of a home's value, under new moves revealed yesterday. That could push up the interest rate on a floating mortgage from about 5.85% to about 6%.
One banking expert has called the moves a "slap in the face" for first-time buyers. Some property investors and small businesses may also find it harder to get a big loan from a bank.
This "first direct shot" is aimed at exactly the wrong target.
Some property investors and small businesses may also find it harder to get a big loan from a bank. Not to mention property investors are the group most likely to be borrowing more than 80% of the cost of a house.
a) Most low to middle income earners couldn't afford the repayments on a mortagage of greater than 80 percent, unless that mortgage was being "paid off" by tenants and tax breaks. and
b) Banks wont lend to borrowers who can't demonstrate the ability to pay the mortgage.
Surprise, surprise, the wealthy playing the 'won't someone whink of teh strugglers?' card in their big-stakes poker games.
I'm sorry that there will bethose who are genuinely struggling affected.
But since when has the media given a shit about them?
This issue is getting oxygen because the children of the comfortably middle class might be less able to afford a first home in one of the most expensive areas, and the (often tight for tax purposes) margins of of rentiers and property developers potentially being squeezed.
Most people who don't already own a house can't afford to buy one full-stop, even if they could get a 100% mortgage. What's needed are decent publicly owned houses available on a lifetime tenancy to anyone who wants one.
So what will be the out come of this policy.
1) First home buyers will be shut out of the market for longer as they save there deposits, plus they will have to work longer and harder to meet the criteria.
2) These extra saving will be held in banks which will then be allowed to print and lend more money into New Zealand.
3) These first home buyers will have to live somewhere, they just won't suddenly disappear, so they will be renters for longer pushing up demand for rental properties.
4) As demand for rentals increases so will their value, inflating the property bubble.
5) Who stands to benefit from this move? Anyone that can raise the extra deposit or show extra income, mainly the already rich.
Wonder what might happen if interest rates were not being artificially controlled….
Bit of a bind we find ourselves in eh, B!
A house is no longer only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Today a house is only worth what a bank is willing to lend on it.
And that, my friends, is the Great Distortion. Was astounded to hear yesterday that over 30% of new mortgages are over 80% lvr. That is massive.
The ponzi scheme cancer continues to grow. And grow. And grow.
interest rates were predicted to rise second half of this year some time ago, Hickey et al;
I just checked.
It would cost $573.13 per week to service a $400,000 mortgage over 25 years with Kiwibank today (5.8% interest). Compulsary insurances, and rates would easily push that up to $700 pw
The warehouse was recently applauded when it announced that it will pay long-term employees the princely sum of $720 per week, gross
The median house price in Auckland is $566,000. ($810 per week before insurance and rates)
This issue does NOT primarily concern low to low-middle income earners.
Yet, strangely, that's how it's being framed.
There's generally two people paying the mortgage. There are still many 300k houses out in the hutt valley in Wellington.
I'd like to see houses only available after 30% deposit has been saved, but most importantly we need to make it less attractive to be a landlord.
Home ownership = pride, stability and a greater level of control over your living environment. We also need to encourage sweat equity.
I'd like to see houses only available after 30% deposit has been saved, but most importantly we need to make it less attractive to be a landlord.
We need to make it more attractive to be a landlord (as opposed to being a property speculator). Stable solid net returns of 3% to 4% per annum if their accommodation meets tight quality requirements.
Why does everyone need to own a house? Genuine question. I bought mine through a family member, because I got it for cheap, however, if I couldn't have done this, I would never have bought a house. I don't see a real reason to.
It's basically a massive ball and chain around your wallet for the next 25-30 years.
I rented for along time before I bought my current home. The one good thing is, the landlord has to do all the work, pay the rates, etc.
Good point. The vast majority of people in the world do not have their own house. And having 2 or 3 generations conducting their lives under the same roof totally standard
Rentals in Auckland are very expensive. My mother can rent a very nice, brand new, two bedroom flat in London, Ontario, Canada (pop: 500,000 – university town) for about $850 / month. That includes all utilities (electricity, heat, water, rubbish disposal) except the phone and cable TV. There is also a swimming pool, gym, and sauna. You do pay extra to park a car in the underground parking garage. But it's worth it in the winter when it might be -20C.
I have two flats I rent out. I have just spent about $50,000 renovating one of them (gutted back to framing and starting over..) and it will be on the market in the next 2-3 weeks. I guess I should thank National for pouring petrol on the price of rentals by blocking home ownership for more people.
Still won't vote for them, though.
In Auckland, one of the things that may affect house prices is all the people who have long family association with the city and – collectively – may own several homes across a family group. For example, the baby boomer kids of people who bought homes in the city 60-70 years ago and LONG ago paid off mortgages that would look like lunch money today, may well have inherited a home worth over a million dollars….even though they may well work at the Warehouse. I've known a few in the Devonport area….who don't actually earn much money, but they are sitting in homes worth more than they could reasonably earn in the next 30 years. But they don't sell because…they have always lived there and don't want to. I'd like to see some study into this segment of homeowners. They may never be "first home buyers"…so much as "first home inheritors".
I tend to think of the economy these days being like being born into a monopoly game that started a long time ago. There are no streets left to buy. Your lot is to get your $200 and pay outrageous rents everywhere you turn. You're always in debt for just existing……and you can accumulate capital only with good luck and with great difficulty.

The Minnesota Opera has named Michael Christie as its new music director, a new position. In the past, the Opera, hired a conductor on a production-by-production basis.
Christie is currently music director at the Phoenix Symphony and led the Brooklyn Philharmonic for five years. He says his job will be to bring more continuity to the Minnesota Opera musicians.
"They are not playing year round like the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Minnesota Orchestra, and so it's really my job as the music director of this group, like it was in Brooklyn, to provide a consistency about how we operate when we come together, over, kind of scattered throughout the year," he said.
Christie, who conducted the Minnesota Opera's recent world premier production of "Silent Night," says he's excited about the company's commitment to new works.
"I just thought, 'Boy if this is the kind of environment for fostering the creation of new works, then I am in the right place,'" he said.
Minnesota Opera Artistic Director Dale Johnson says the company chose Christie after a multi-year selection process.

On March 12 parents with children in the Caledonia School District were notified of the presence of scabies in the elementary, middle and high school. The below information was shared and posted on the district website at www.cps.k12.mn.us/page/hot_news.
Scabies is caused by a microscopic mite. Attracted to warmth and unwashed body odor, the female mite burrows into the skin, lays eggs and produces toxins that causes the skin to react. Larvae, or newly hatched mites, travel to the skin surface, lying in shallow pockets where they develop into adult mites. If the mite is scratched off the skin, it can live in bedding for up to 24 hours or more. It may take up to a month before a person will notice the itching.
The earliest and most common symptom of scabies is itching, especially at night. Little red bumps like hives, tiny bites or pimples appear. In more advanced cases, the skin may be crusty, scaly and thickened. It takes two to six weeks for symptoms to start. If your child has had this before, symptoms may start in one to four days.
The scabies mite prefers warmer sites on the skin such as skin folds, where clothing is tight, between the fingers or under the nails, on the folds of the elbows and wrists, the buttocks or the belt line. Mites also tend to hide in, or on, bracelets and watchbands or the skin under rings.
In infants and small children, the infestation may involve the entire body including the palms, soles and scalp. The child may be tired and irritable because of loss of sleep from itching or scratching all night. Bacterial infection may occur due to scratching.
Frequent and/or prolonged direct contact with the skin of a person with scabies or by sharing bedding, towels, underclothing of a person with scabies. Mites cannot survive off the human body for more than three days and cannot reproduce off the body.
Contagious period
From the time a person acquires the mites (before the rash appears) until 24 hours after treatment begins.
Successful eradication of this infestation requires the following:
See a doctor as soon as possible to begin treatment with medication. Treat all exposed individuals whether obviously infested or not. Incubation time is six to eight weeks, so symptoms may not show up for awhile. If you do not treat everyone, it is as if you were never treated.
Apply treatment to all skin from neck to legs – this includes between fingers and toes, the crease between the buttocks, etc. If you wash your hands after application, you need to reapply the medication to your hands again.
Wash clothes. Do all the laundry with the hottest water possible. The mite is attracted to the scent of unwashed body odor. Any clean clothes hanging in the closet or folded in drawers are OK.
Items (stuffed animals or toys) you do not wish to wash may be placed in the dryer on high for 30 minutes or pressed with a warm iron.
Change the bedding, washing mattress pad, sheets, quilts and blankets in the hottest water possible and drying in the drier on high for at least 30 minutes. If you can't wash your pillows, run them in the drier on high for 30 minutes. Vacuum mattresses and box springs and encase them in the zippered covers that encase the whole mattress and box spring. These covers are available at most department stores in the bedding department and are quite inexpensive.
Carpets and upholstery should be vacuumed. Once the entire house is vacuumed, discard the bag.
Items that cannot be washed in hot water or run in the drier can be placed in plastic bags and placed in the garage or outside for two weeks. If the mites do not get a meal within one week, they die.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact the elementary health office at 507-725-5205 or the MS/HS health office at 507-725-3316.

Winter Springs Restaurant Guide & Dining Reviews
Featured Review
This was our second visit to Carrabba's, the first time we found that the food contained way too much salt, so much that salt was all that you could taste. We decided to give the restaurant another chance, specifically requesting less salt to be added to our main course. Either the kitchen does not pay attention to special requests or even with less salt the main courses were inedible. Unless you like salty foods stay away.

German match-fixing scandal comes to court
BERLIN, Oct 17 (Reuters) - German match-fixing referee Robert Hoyzer and five others face fraud charges from Tuesday in a trial that an embarrassed German soccer establishment hopes will be as brief as possible.
Hoyzer, another referee Dominik Marks and former top flight player Steffen Karl are charged with seeking to rig a series of matches from April to December 2004 on the instruction of three Croatian brothers who betted on the results.
One of the brothers, alleged gambling ringleader Ante Sapina, made over 1 million euros ($1.20 million) on two fixed games alone, prosecutors say.
The scandal, uncovered at the start of 2005, rocked Germany's football authorities a year ahead of the nation's hosting of the World Cup.
Full and partial confessions from all but one of the defendants - Marks - means guilty verdicts are likely in those cases, according to defence lawyers, although there will be a debate about the relative importance of the defendants' roles.
Defence lawyers are also questioning whether the accused were bound together like an organised gang as the indictment alleges.
'I expect guilty verdicts,' said Nicholas Becker, representing Ante Sapina, who faces the most charges - 42.
The offences could bring jail terms of up to 10 years, although defence lawyers appear hopeful that the confessions and a lack of previous convictions will lead to sentences nearer the one year minimum.
Becker reckoned the trial, initially scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays, may be over within six to seven sessions. Hoyzer's lawyer, Thomas Hermes, said that 10 to 12 days was more likely.
'A lot depends on Marks,' Hermes said. 'The others will go much quicker.'
The trial, which starts on Tuesday, may then not be settled before the most powerful figures in world soccer gather in Leipzig on December 9 for the World Cup finals gala draw.
Football, the world's most popular sport, has also been hit by a match-fixing case that recently came to light in Brazil, home of the world champions.
FIFA, world soccer's governing body, set up a Task Force last month with a view to creating early warning systems with bookmakers to track unusual betting patterns and detect any future match-fixing attempts.
Tuesday's opening session in Berlin's superior court of justice will begin with a reading of the indictment before the defendants are given the chance to speak.
Unlike in a U.S. or British trial, the accused are not required to plead guilty or not guilty.
Lawyers for Hoyzer and Ante Sapina say their clients will address the court. The two other brothers are expected to make written submissions. It is not clear what Karl or Marks will do.
Witnesses from state-sponsored betting agency Oddset could appear in court in the second or third week.

The Marginal Willingness-to-Pay for Attributes of a Hypothetical HIV Vaccine
This paper estimates the marginal willingness-to-pay for attributes of a hypothetical HIV vaccine using discrete choice modeling. We use primary data from 326 respondents from Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2008-2009, selected using purposive, venue-based sampling across two strata. Participants completed a structured questionnaire and full rank discrete choice modelling task administered using computer-assisted personal interviewing. The choice experiment was used to rank eight hypothetical HIV vaccine scenarios, with each scenario comprising seven attributes (including cost) each of which had two levels. The data were analyzed in two alternative specifications: (1) best-worst; and (2) full-rank, using logit likelihood functions estimated with custom routines in Gauss matrix programming language. Knowledge of the relative importance of determinants of HIV vaccine acceptability is important to ensure the success of future vaccination programs. Future acceptability studies of hypothetical HIV vaccines should use more finely-grained biomedical attributes, and could also improve the external validity of results by including more levels of the cost attribute.

I want it known: The 1980s were not the crux of all life in the universe. I know that Gen-Xers were formidable in their pop culture, and that we're still living down the sad ripples of the pop culture of the Reagan era, but '80s nostalgia should not rule our minds in the way it does. And it should certainly not be the primary inspiration for hard-working spoof comedians who seem to find something intrinsically hilarious about headbands and leg warmers. I would perhaps argue that headbands and leg warmers are only going to funny when they're put in a certain context. I didn't see Kickin it Old Skool, but I would argue that that film's premise (about a man who goes into a coma in the 1980s and emerges in the early 2000s) is at least more interesting than an obvious an unfunny piece of overtly "clever" flotsam like Freak Dance, the first attempt of The Upright Citizens Brigade to make a feature film.
Freak Danceis a spoof of dance-off movies, and a musical. Another mistake: Don't spoof dance-off movies. The dance-off genre is so goofy as is, and the stories so simple (and, I would argue, the genre is so pure) that they're already kind of spoofing themselves. Goofing on the goofy ain't gonna work. The story, such as it is, follows a young white gal named Cocolonia (Megan Heyn) who defies her mother (Amy Poehler) to join a street dance crew, led by the handsome Funky Bunch (Michael Daniel Cassady). She gets embroiled in an underground dance-off, etc. etc. etc. Do you really want to know the story of this thing? Do you want to hear about the saucy Latina who can't read and says "motherf*cker" a lot? Or the evil building code guy? Or the cameo from Patch Adams (topical!)?
If you're going to make a comedy musical, here's a hint: really come up with good music and dancing. Freak Dance decided, I think because of their low budget, to mine laughs from the fact that the dancers in the film couldn't dance, and the singers could not sing. After a few minutes of this attempt to make the clearly amateur look like an ironic stab, I knew I was in for a long haul. For many extended periods, I began to see myself on the couch, watching myself watching Freak Dance, realizing I was in a room with crooning comedians, trying to get me to giggle by singing off-key. Off-key singing can be hilarious. The National Anthem in The Naked Gun makes me laugh, and Brando was hilarious in Guys & Dolls. But there's nothing funny, not even in an ironic way, about the bad dancing in your dance film. No, not even if you have a pair of tube socks stuffed down your red shiny stretchpants.
The film's comedy doesn't extend past its silly outfits. And jokes about the word "booty." There's even a song about booty. I did laugh once in an early scene, wherein a doctor illustrated to an injured man that his head may explode by showing him a drawing his 6-year-old had done. He explains that it's terrible, but it will still look really cool. But then the victim will show that too much Lambada can burn off your genitals. Tee hee. Oh my gut.
Step Up: Revolution is coming out soon. There are three other Step Up movies in the world. Are they silly? Yes. Are they fun? Hell yeah. Especially Step Up 3D. What does Freak Dance add to the conversation? Nothing. There I was. I was having a nice, light conversation with Step Up, when Freak Dance, spilling a can of Natural Light on my floor, busted in, drunk, from across the room. It yelled about how stupid Marky Mark was, grabbed its crotch, and then puked on my shoes. Freak Dance is not coming to my next party.

Riviera Theatre now basks in the light of a restored marquee
The ongoing restoration of the Riviera Theatre and Performing Arts Center took a giant step forward Friday with the unveiling of its dazzling $285,000 marquee.
"It's a symbol of resurgence for the Riviera. We've been scratching and clawing our way for the last several years for funding," said Gary Rouleau, Riviera director of development.Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy led a group of dignitaries who attended the unveiling of the marquee Friday morning at the 88-year-old theater in North Tonawanda. Those attending the ceremonies were treated to a dazzling demonstration of the theater's mighty Wurlitzer organ.
The marquee restoration puts a face on an ambitious $5.9 million upgrade that will involve the construction of a 23,000-square-foot addition that will hold a black-box theater, elevator, state-of-the art restrooms and modern dressing room facilities for touring acts.
The goal, according to Rouleau, is to make the Riviera a destination for larger traveling productions.
"We're becoming a regional attraction with all the modern amenities a performing arts center needs to draw larger audiences and increase revenue," said Rouleau.
Already, a $350,000 upgrade to the Riviera stage swapped an ancient rope-pulley-sandbag mechanism with a modern system to control movement of curtains, screen and lighting.
Restoration work on the marquee began after its removal last October. The restoration effort required painstaking research on the part of the small but dedicated theater staff, said Rouleau
To match the paint originally used in the 1947 marquee, the Riviera staff consulted Flexlume Signs for the color scheme. Theatergoers will also see the marquee's rose and green neon lights as well as the chasing lights that were restored to the original pattern.
The marquee was refurbished at the Wagner Electric Sign Co. in Elyria, Ohio. Frey Electric updated the theater's electric infrastructure. Coordinating the restoration effort was Peyton Barlow Co.
Remediation efforts have begun at a former transmission shop at 68 Main where the addition will be built.
The remediation project was enabled by a $350,000 grant from the Niagara County Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (BCRLF) Program, and the Riviera Theatre & Organ Preservation Society, Inc.
When complete, the addition will include a 100-seat theater, a new entrance off Main Street, dressing room suite with showers and laundry facilities for performers, and a bar and concession area. The installation of an elevator will allow the balcony to be handicapped accessible, said Rouleau.
The renovation will also address the top concern registered by Riviera theatergoers – restrooms. Rouleau said new facilities will be located on both levels.
Financing for the marquee was provided by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation, the Grigg-Lewis Foundation and community donations.

Tilbury is a town in the borough of Thurrock District in Essex, England (a unitary authority since 1998).
It was established in the late nineteenth century, on land that had been part of the parish of Chadwell St. Mary and became an urban district in 1912. It contains a 16th-century fort and an ancient cross-river ferry. Tilbury now has a major deep-water port which contributes to the local economy.
The parish was part of the Thurrock Urban District from 1936 until 1974. Since 1974 it has been located in the Thurrock District in Essex (a unitary authority since 1998).
Tilbury's history is closely connected with its geographical location (see below). Its counterpart on the south bank of the River Thames, Gravesend, has long been an important communications link, and it was there that a cross-river ferry (see below) was connected, mainly due to the narrowness of the river at this point. In addition, Gravesend and Northfleet (also on the south shore) both became vitally important to shipping on the Thames: the former as the first port of call for foreign shipping bound for London, and the latter as a naval dockyard.
There is archaeological evidence of Roman occupation. At the time, sea-levels had dropped, making the marshes habitable. There may well have been a Roman settlement on the site of what is now Tilbury Docks. In the 12th century the river, which had hitherto consisted of difficult channels with uncharted shoals, was changed by the process of embanking the river and enclosing areas of marsh. This improved the river's flow, and also resulted in improved land resources on the marsh. It was nevertheless an unhealthy place in which to live; Daniel Defoe, who, in 1696, operated a tile and brick factory in the Tilbury marshes and lived in a nearby house, wrote about "the Essex ague".
In 1588 Queen Elizabeth I came ashore here to review her main army at the nearby village of West Tilbury (see Speech to the Troops at Tilbury).
In 1852 an Act of Parliament had authorised the building of the London Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR), with a short spur to take advantage of the ferry over the Thames; a pier nearby was constructed for the steamboat traffic. The station was originally named Tilbury Fort and opened in 1854. The station was renamed Tilbury Riverside in 1936.
A few houses were built for the railway workers, but it was not until the construction of Tilbury Docks (see below) that there was any settlement worthy of a name. Whilst the docks were being built, the thousands of workers were either provided with temporary accommodation or had to commute from surrounding villages and towns. As a result of overcrowding, more permanent housing was built once the docks were completed, including tenement blocks; but these were poorly constructed, and until the formation of Tilbury District Council (see below) the town was in a poor state, as it largely remained until 1918, when government funds were available to better the situation.
The Tilbury Ferry
The Tilbury–Gravesend Ferry has operated from very early times. A sketch-map of 1571 shows evidence of two jetties, the one on the north bank leading to a northward road crossing the marsh. There are also houses marked on the marsh itself, which became important for sheep grazing; and there is some evidence to suggest that the ferry was used for the cross-river transport of animals and wool. Although the 17th-century drawing might suggest a boat too small for large consignments, the long-established Gravesend market encouraged such traffic, and a contemporary account suggests that one of the boats used was a hoy, a forerunner of the Thames sailing barge.
Tilbury Fort
The curve and narrowness of the river here made it a suitable place to construct forts for the defence of London against foreign invaders. The first permanent fort at Tilbury was a D-shaped blockhouse built in 1539 by Henry VIII and initially called the "Thermitage Bulwark", because it was on the site of a hermitage dissolved in 1536. The Tilbury blockhouse was designed to cross-fire with a similar structure at New Tavern, Gravesend. During the Armada campaign, the fort was reinforced with earthworks and a palisade, and a boom of chains, ships' masts, and cables was stretched across the Thames to Gravesend, anchored by lighters. The Fort was rebuilt under Charles I and is now owned by English Heritage.

IMO separating BSD scikits from everything else would needlessly confuse new users and diminish the overall 'scikit' mind share.

Healthy Environment, Healthy Community, Healthy Business
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) will not permit AGL to commence operations at its Gloucester coal seam gas site until it is satisfied that the operations can be conducted in a manner that does not pose a risk to the environment.
EPA Chief Environmental Regulator Mark Gifford said the EPA is undertaking a full investigation into AGL Gloucester's operations and served AGL with a notice today demanding records prior to any further work commencing at the site.
"Officers from the EPA are at AGL's Gloucester operations today undertaking inspections and water sampling, after AGL informed the authority yesterday that it had detected BTEX chemicals at its Waukivory operations," Mr Gifford said.
"The EPA has concerns with the environmental practices of the operations at AGL Gloucester.
"The legal notice directs AGL to provide sampling results and quality assurance/quality control reports and all records relating to results of sampling that show a detection of BTEX.
"The EPA has also directed AGL to provide it with a report outlining the results of the analysis undertaken on samples collected on 16 and 29 December 2014, and 12 January 2015 and an analysis of the scientific rigour of the sampling and analysis processes.
"The EPA will undertake a detailed review of the data and the analysis method that has been used."
"Fracking fluid additives used at the Waukivory operation were sampled and analysed by Government environmental officers in November 2014 before fracking activities were allowed to commence. These samples were analysed for BTEX chemicals, which were not detected.
"Identifying the source of the elevated levels of BTEX chemicals found in AGL's samples will be part of the EPA's investigation."
Mr Gifford reiterated that AGL informed the EPA that it was aware of elevated levels of BTEX chemicals on 15 January, but it did not make these results known to the EPA or the public until yesterday.
"The EPA is concerned at AGL's lack of timeliness and transparency in informing us of these results. The EPA is reviewing AGL's Environment Protection Licence to include new conditions requiring immediate reporting of these types of results when they are detected. All companies are required to immediately report any significant environmental harm or threat of harm to the EPA."
BTEX is a group of chemicals known as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene. These chemicals can occur naturally in coal seams. The Government banned the use of BTEX chemicals in hydraulic fracturing and are prohibited in Environment Protection Licences issued by the EPA.
The Division of Resources and Energy is also conducting an investigation and has issued AGL Gloucester with a direction to suspend operations.

The Knife of Never Letting Go
How does the Noise translate into an audiobook? Take a sneak peek from Brilliance Audio of today's release of Patrick Ness' Chaos Walking trilogy. As part of the new Candlewick on Brilliance imprint, Brilliance is simultaneously releasing The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Ask and the Answer, and Monsters of Men. I must admit to anxious anticipation as I ponder just what audiobook production magic was needed to make audible the Noise that underlies the society of New World. I breathed a sigh of relief when I played the sneak peek clip – Nick Podehl's voicing of Todd Hewitt is spot on and the Noise is, well, disturbing. As it should be. Now I'm left with waiting to hear the whole thing – and to experience Manchee's voice. Oh Manchee…
Chaos Walking fans, I hope you're as satisfied with this clip as I am:
Click here for sneak peek of Brilliance Audio's The Knife of Never Letting Go
I have seldom been so emotionally affected by a book as when I read The Knife of Never Letting Go on the beach, with the beauty of the Dominican Republic completely unnoticed. When I couldn't immediately get my hands on the sequel, the seed was planted to buy my new Kindle 3 – now I can download a book on any beach in the world. And wonders of wonders, today Patrick Ness revealed that he's celebrating the release of his trilogy on the Kindle with a FREE Kindle download of a prequel to Chaos Walking on October 18th. Now I can justify the Kindle even though I also have a Sony Reader. Plus a drawer full of MP3 players for audiobooks. And hey, I just bought a new CD Walkman to replace one dropped on the floor. Thank heavens the cassette is finally dead!

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
It would depend on what you want to get out of him answering the question. It may be more harmful to get these details as later on you may torment yourself with this information. If you're wondering if he is honest, then wanting to get a general idea about this other person is reasonable.
It may be healthier to focus on repairing your relationship because talking in detail about this woman may elicit thoughts in him to think of her rather than work on himself.
Even if this woman is the total opposite to you, it does not imply that you had done something to lead to his unfaithfulness; it was his choice and he's used the opportunity. It does not either imply that the look or qualities she possess is something he'd rather have.

I haven't gone looking for it yet. I had it at the Renaissance Faire. Their website says its in a few stores by me though. Maybe after dinner I'll stop. Right now we just have Yuengling (spelling?)
So, it's 1996 and I'm driving in Cape Town for the very first time. The rental only has a radio so I turn it on and tune into a station.
Driving on the N1 into the city I hear my first traffic report telling me that the "Robots are out" on such and such road.
My mind started spinning in amazement. Later on I was told that a robot is a traffic light...
You can get pills to treat that
Curious, is there such a thing as a Senior Premium Member or once your Premium your Premium ?

UPPER MONTCLAIR, N.J. – As Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe stood on the sidelines watching his team practice on Thursday, he couldn't help but crack a smile watching the group interact. There was his New York squad, near the top of the table, talking tactics and working through their problems – and he didn't even have to step in.
"The session was very good – it was very lively," Backe told MLSsoccer.com. "You can see confidence and you can see the composure we had on the ball. We didn't force many things today."
It got feisty at times on the field, but it wasn't frustration born from lack of effort. Rather, this team is beginning to hold each other accountable and demanding perfection each day.
A last-place team in 2009, this year's Red Bulls hold each other to a higher standard.
And it doesn't hurt that forward Mac Kandji could be on the bench for Saturday's game against D.C. United. Thursday's was the sixth practice session for Kandji, who could "be an option for 20, maybe 30 minutes" on Saturday, according to Backe.
Backe also said that Salou Ibrahim, who has struggled with some recent knocks, is available to start. Carl Robinson, while not ready to play this weekend, is also "very close" to match readiness. The New York coach praised the player's work ethic after knee surgery a little more than a month ago.
"The way his knee responded is perfect," Backe said. "There is no swelling at all."
For D.C. United, the same back line should be in place, a unit which has allowed just two goals in the last four games. Backe is pleased with their play and shape. The standard 4-4-2 formation will be implemented after the team went with a 4-5-1 starting lineup for the Colorado match.

What is in a colon cleanse drink?
Please signup or login to answer this question.
Sorry,At this time user registration is disabled. We will open registration soon!
Colon cleansing drinks may contain any number of ingredients, and many recipes are available for homemade cleanses. Probably the most popular colon cleanse drink is the Master Cleanse (aka the lemonade diet), which is a mixture of organic lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water. Other popular cleansing drinks include straight vegetable juice, salt water and bentonite clay.
To begin with by stating the obvious, a colon cleanse drink is a drink designed to clean out your colon. To be more precise, it is a combination of ingredients (natural or otherwise, so read your label!) that interact with your body as it passes through in order to remove the toxins that build up (there are arguments towards the validity of this in either direction) in the colon – otherwise known as the part of your body that stores and eventually eliminates waste from your body.

One of the things I love most about crafting is being able to share my creations. Knowing that the creations I sell end up in homes where individuals love and treasure handmade is something that brings me great joy. An even greater joy is being able to knit for my family and loved ones, especially when they're experiencing trials in their lives.
My recent project was a pair of traditional toed socks for a dear friend of mine who'll be going in for her second brain surgery over the next few weeks. It might seem strange to be gifting someone a thick, cushy pair of woolen socks in the middle of June, but hospitals are always so cold and those socks they provide are horrible and rough.
Handmade socks, to me, are hugs for your feet. When you slide on a pair of hand knit socks, there's a warmth there that storebought socks don't have. I hope, after my friend wakes up, she'll be able to look down at her feet, rub them together a little, and smile, knowing that I've been thinking of her and sending her all of the healthy, healing energies I can.
Meet Jane's socks. :)

Reviews for Mushroom & Wild Rice Soup
Average Rating
"Help with a Question! On step # 4 the directions say to Stir in broth, rice mix with contents of seasoning packet... The ingredients don't say anything about a seasoning packet. Is this something that is supposed to come with the rice? If so, what brand? I'm used to just buying/cooking rice and adding seasonings."
"This soup was delicious. The only thing i did different was add some chopped rotisserie chicken and I didn't have a box of rice mix but I did have a bag of Wild rice I just added it and some garlic powder. onion powder parsley flakes and let it simmer until the rice was tender, about 30 minutes longer."
"LOVE this recipe! I had leftover cooked mushrooms -- so omitted the directions for the dried mushrooms. It was EXCELLENT! Will make again with a different variety using the dried, but definitely a good way to use leftovers up."
"Absolutely delicious!"
"Like everyone else says This is the best Mushroom soup EVER !! Next time I'm going to try a bit of sherry."
"Delicious! I've made this twice now and my only recommendation is using an all natural or organic wild rice mix such as Lundbergs. The overall taste of the soup was better and it wasn't as salty as when I made it with Uncle Bens."
"I make this same recipe! I use all fresh mushrooms and also some celery and carrot. I also have been known to add some crumbled sausage or bacon."
"YUM! This was a delicious soup recipe and will be made again in my home. I did not have access to any dried mushrooms so I omitted the whole first and second steps and just added 1/2 lb sliced fresh shiitakes with the other fresh mushrooms to the pot. It turned out with perfect consistency. My 4 year old and I each ate two bowls of this in one sitting."
"If all fresh mushrooms are used, do you need to cut back on the amount of water?"
"WOW, one of the best homemade soups I've ever made! I crave it all the time. I cut back on the broth and cream, as I think it's too runny. Only for mushroom lovers!"
"I wasn't sure how I would like an all mushroom soup, but this was yummy. Only changes I would make is using more fresh mushrooms intsead of dried because dried ones can be a bit tough even after re hydrated. I couldn't find dried porcini mushrooms so I got oyster ones and they seemed fine. Next time I will sub the dried shiitakes for 1/2 lb of fresh ones. I also used half cream half skim milk to slim it down a bit and it didn't hurt the flavor at all. I gave this recipe to a vegetarian friend and told her to just sub the chicken broth with veggie broth and it would be perfect."
"The cream sends it over the top in flavor. I crave this soup!"
"It was wonderful!! I had the shiitake but not the porcini, so I just omitted it...I added a TBSP of butter at the end after the cream just to give it some added richness...personal preference...I would definitely make this over and over again!!!"
"easy to prepare, although I could not find dried mushrooms at my local grocery, & used 1 1/2 lbs fresh. It still turned out great. Would not hesitate to serve to guests."

This exhibition of fine art photographic images communicates visually with the viewer in ways that cannot be appreciated solely in writing. Through heightened visual experience one gets joy and a deeper understanding of the artists' thoughts and vision. Visual storytelling, the old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words", holds true here. Artists include, David Barnett, Tom Ferderbar, Phil Krejcarek, Francesco Spicuzza, Joan Dvorsky, Barbara Slane, Murray Weiss, Jacob Obletz, Jessie Spiess, Robert Sheer, George Zimbel, James Auer, Terry Warpinski, L.C. Kopczyk, Leslie Borns, Edward Sheriff Curtis and Diana Sowder.
Also featured will be a c.1900 photograph with hand painting embellishment of a Portrait of Abraham Lincoln, a hybrid form of portraiture-part photomechanical and part handwork. This exhibition will run through January 14, 2017.

West Virginia revenue collections for April of $576.9 million exceeded projections — but only because of $70 million cash infusion from supplemental appropriations bills approved by the Legislature in special session on March 14, Department of Revenue officials said Friday.
Without the legislative action, tax collections for April would have come in $32.7 million below estimates, and down about 7 percent from April 2013, Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow said.
He said two key tax sources — income taxes and consumer sales taxes — continued to lag in April.
Income tax collections of $285.5 million were $37.5 million below estimates, hurt in part by a 6.3 percent decline in payroll withholding tax collections for the month, he said.
Sales tax collections of $90.67 million were $10.7 million below estimates. Muchow blamed the poor performance on harsh winter weather in March, since sales tax collections reflect retail sales activity from the previous month.
"I expect April sales, which will be posted in May, should show significant improvement," he said.
Muchow said most other tax categories met or outperformed expectations, led by severance tax collections of $49.86 million, which came in $14.46 million ahead of estimates.
While cold weather hurt retail sales, it resulted in higher natural gas usage and prices — reflected in the surge of severance tax collections, Muchow said.
Tax collections on beer and tobacco products fell below estimates, as state consumption of those products is on the decline, he noted.
With two months remaining in the 2013-14 budget year, year-to-date revenue collections of $3.42 billion are $40.87 million, or 1 percent, below estimates.
Revenue Secretary Bob Kiss said Friday he hopes that, with mid-year budget cuts and hiring freezes imposed by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin in December, the state will close the $41 million funding gap when the books are closed on June 30.
"We think we're on track," he said, "but it is tight."
Kiss said it is fortunate state leaders had the foresight to set aside reserve funds, such as the Legislature's TRAFFIC account and the Rainy Day emergency fund, allowing the Legislature to make the $70 million cash transfer in special session.
"From time to time, every state is going to face challenges like this," Kiss said. "Since we put tools in the toolbox a few years ago, we could deal with these challenges."
