Oreo-stuffed Croissants are Actually Happening at Clafouti in Toronto
Earlier this summer an acquaintance of mine asked, "Can I go one day without hearing the word cronut?" The croissant-doughnut hybrid created by Dominique Ansel has become so popular that its name has become common parlance. There's no denying that we're obsessed with this croissant and doughnut love child.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the latest in dessert mash-ups—a Crookie ($2.75). What is a crookie? It's a croissant stuffed with Oreo cookies from my local Toronto bakery Clafouti. Hoda and Kathy-Lee ate them on the Today show. Perez Hilton wrote about them. You may have seen them on Good Morning America or read about them in Time. It's not often that a Toronto treat gets this kind of buzz. Personally, I'm not sure whether to cringe or rejoice. If there is such thing as hubris against pastry gods, one has to wonder if perhaps we've gone too far.
The Crookie was invented when local publication The Grid challenged five pastry chefs to come up with their own hybrid desserts. Clafouti owner Olivier Jansen-Reynaud mashed together his well-loved croissants with Double-Stuff Oreos. The Crookies went on sale in late June and have been gaining in popularity ever since. The internet would lead you to believe that it's just as crazy as at Dominique Ansel Bakery. The Crookies do occasionally sell-out, but it's nowhere near the level of madness on Spring St. One my last trip to Clafouti there were just two people ahead of me in line and there was no limit on the number of Crookies I could purchase. No one was scalping anything and there were no fist fights breaking out—just a regular day on Queen West.
The Crookie itself is a plump rectangular pastry with croissant dough folded around broken Oreos into a package garnished with a half Oreo. The croissant is buttery and flaky, though it is not crispy enough to shatter. It is jam-packed with Oreos and every bite has layers of chocolate cookie and icing filling. The texture of the Oreos is slightly softer than usual, somewhat like fried Oreos. The Crookie tastes like Oreos, just with the added bonus of buttery croissant decadence. In short, it's like eating an Oreo sandwich.
So is the Crookie an innovation or monstrosity? The calorie-laden snack is surprisingly tasty. Jansen-Reynaud has clearly taken the time to make sure that his insane idea actually looks and tastes good. The croissant-to-Oreo ratio is pleasant. The level of sweetness is not cloying. The textures are enjoyable. While not for everyday, it's indulgent and playful. Still, I'm not sure the Crookie is an improvement on either the croissant or the Oreo. While there is something interesting in the spectacle of classic French pastry blended with classic junk food, mixing them together does not equal more than the sum of the parts. The Crookie is dangerously close to crimes against the pastry arts, but as long as it tastes decent, I'll let them off with a warning.

Rouding Out The Roster
The 2012 roster is shaping up. Oh, Ruben still needs a shortstop, no small detail, and possibly a left-handed bat in the outfield.
Beef up the bench was one of his goals. Well, he's added 480 pounds to the bench in LH power bat Jim Thome (250 pounds) and RH power bat Ty Wigginton (230 pounds). More importantly, that's 762 career home runs. Let's hope the bench is made out of oak wood.
Wigginton's ability to play first, third, second and the outfield adds versatility. He's been on the Phillies radar for a few years and now he's finally in their uniform.
Things you didn't know about Tyler: He grew up in San Diego and was a season ticket holder with the Padres . . . He was the 17th round selection of the Mets in 1998 . . . His sister was a member of Stanford's synchronized swimming team, which was the national runner-up in 2000.
Four prospects were added to the 40-man roster last week, removing them from being eligible for the Dec. 8 Rule 5 draft at the Winter Meetings: right-handed reliever Phillippe Amount (a 6-foot-7, 255-pounder), lefty reliever Jacob Diekman, catcher Sebastian Valle and speedy outfielder Tyson Gillies.
Aumont and Diekman join fellow young relievers Justin DeFratus (RH), Michael Schwimer (RH), and Joe Savery (LH). Don't remember that many relief prospects on one roster before.
All will be trying to impress big league eyes in Clearwater, same path Michael Stutes took this past spring training.
Speaking of the 40-man roster, the Phillies are now at 40 with the signing of Wigginton. All the team's scouts and minor league managers, coaches and instructors are paging through the players eligible for the Rule 5 draft. The last two years of that draft have brought David Herndon and Michael Martinez into the organization. Before that, Shane came through the draft and way, way before that, Dave Hollins.
If they come up with a candidate or two, a roster spot will be needed. Stay tuned.

For the past eighteen months, ever since Columbine families filed nine lawsuits against him and his agency, Jefferson County Sheriff John Stone has refused to talk to reporters about the school massacre. When other county officials deign to comment on the police response to the attack, they invariably parrot the account presented in the sheriff's official Columbine report that was released in May 2000 -- an account riddled with glaring omissions and factual errors.
Last spring, Westword requested a meeting with Sheriff Stone in an effort to clear up several troubling contradictions between the report and evidence contained in police investigative files. The response was cordial; citing pending litigation, Stone declined to be interviewed, but he agreed to respond to written questions concerning the official timeline of events on the day of the attack.
"I would be happy to clarify any point you feel is unclear or confusing to you," Stone wrote. "Any questions you have on the timeline can be answered in full detail."
Read related stories in "The Columbine Reader"
Ten questions were submitted to Stone in June. Four months and several phone calls later, a four-page reply arrived -- not from Stone, but from Jeffco Assistant County Attorney Lily Oeffler, whose office is defending Stone in the litigation. The letter upholds the official timeline to the last tittle, insisting that contradictory data found in police-dispatch tapes, witness interviews and statements by Stone's own deputies aren't contradictions at all. In short, evidence to the contrary be damned: There are no problems here.
But there are significant problems with the official Columbine timeline, and they're important for several reasons. A correct timeline is crucial in order to determine when the attack starts, when police arrive, and what they do after they get there. Particularly in the early stages of the attack, when every moment counts, it's not simply minutes, but lives that are at issue.
Take, for instance, the report's account of the actions of two Jeffco deputies, Neil Gardner and Paul Smoker, before the library rampage begins. According to the official timeline, Gardner pulls into the Columbine parking lot at 11:24 a.m. His arrival distracts Eric Harris, who at that moment is outside the west doors, firing at teacher Patty Nielson. Harris turns and opens fire on Gardner.
Gardner fires back. Harris retreats into the building. Two minutes later, he reappears at the west doors. This time Gardner and Smoker, who've taken a position near the west entrance, both return fire. Harris retreats again. The library killings begin three minutes later, with the handful of deputies outside pinned down by gunfire from the library windows.
That's the official story. And it's emphatically and provably wrong.
Here's what the evidence shows: Both Gardner and Andy Marton, a school employee who was riding with him, reported that there was already shooting inside the building when they arrived. The library windows were broken, and they heard explosions inside. Both say Harris came out of the west doors to engage them, rather than being "distracted" in the middle of the outside shooting spree. And Gardner's first on-scene call to the dispatcher, at 11:26, was about shots in the building, not about being un-der fire or even seeing a shooter. He didn't report "getting a couple of shots off at the shooter" until 11:29, seconds before the library massacre began.
As for Smoker, the report has him on the west side of the school, firing at Harris, at 11:26. But his statement indicates he was still in Clement Park, north of the school, when he heard Gardner's 11:26 call for assistance. He didn't fire on Harris until after "a whole slew of kids" ran out of the building, including several who had gunshot wounds and were "bleeding all over the place."
Although Smoker said the kids came out of the cafeteria, which is directly below the library, the only wounded students to emerge from the building who fit his description were the survivors of the library massacre. They escaped through an emergency exit around 11:37 and took cover behind the patrol car manned by Smoker and another deputy, several dozen yards away. In other words, Smoker's gun battle with Harris occurred at least ten minutes later than the report claims -- and after ten people had already been murdered inside while the deputies were still setting up their perimeter outside.
How do Jeffco officials account for these discrepancies? By creative interpretations of the physical evidence and by insisting that their officers didn't say what they said.
Broken library windows don't mean the attack had already moved inside by the time Gardner arrived: "The numerous shots fired by Harris and Klebold when they were shooting outside could have easily caused the broken windows," Oeffler says.
Yet none of the 46 witnesses in the library interviewed by police recalled the windows breaking before the gunmen came in and started shooting the place up. (We're talking major damage, not BB-sized holes; Gardner said one window was completely "gone," with "jagged edges around it.") The first indication most of them had that anything was wrong was the frantic arrival of a wounded Patty Nielson, who told the students to get down and started dialing 911. Then they heard explosions and shooting in the hallways, then Harris and Klebold came in and started killing people.
Oeffler maintains that Gardner came under fire from Harris before his 11:26 call for assistance. So why did he talk about shots inside the building and neglect to mention the battle at that point? Well, by the time Gardner got on the radio, Harris had moved inside, so "shots inside the building" is "an accurate statement," Oeffler explains. "To use valuable time and attention to air details about the exchange of gunfire was unnecessary."
Or maybe the exchange hadn't happened yet. Gardner's debriefing by investigators on the day of the attack is clear on this point. The gunman didn't come out of the building and shoot at him until right after his 11:26 call. That's Marton's recollection, too. The 11:26 call was about the shots Gardner was hearing inside the school, before he'd seen a suspect. At that point, he said, all he knew was that "someone's shooting up the school."
The record of Smoker's actions is equally clear. Oeffler's letter insists that Smoker was on the west side of the school by 11:24. Four minutes later, "he aired that the shooter may be wearing a black trenchcoat, information that he obtained from students on the west side of the school."
But Smoker told a police interviewer that he was still in Clement Park, on the other side of the ballfields that stretch north from the high school, when he heard Gardner's call for assistance at 11:26. A motorcycle cop, Smoker decided to hook up with an officer in a patrol car, Scott Taborsky, before getting any closer to the fray. Taborsky reported to dispatch that he and Smoker were taking up a position on the west side of the school at 11:29 -- five minutes later than Oeffler claims. As for the information Smoker aired at 11:28 about the trenchcoated suspect, it probably came from a student named Adam Thomas, who remembers fleeing the shooting on the west side and coming across a motorcycle cop minutes later -- in Clement Park.
Oeffler says the wounded students who took cover with Smoker and Taborsky weren't wounded at all. "Many uninjured students had blood on them from assisting injured students...The deputies began to evacuate the students who continued to come out of the school cafeteria and, moments later, the library."
The mass exodus from the cafeteria occurred fifteen minutes before the library evacuation, not "moments" before. And few, if any, of the kids fleeing the cafeteria -- where no one was injured, according to the sheriff's report, so how did these kids get blood on them? -- would have sought refuge behind Taborsky's patrol car. Not only was it not there yet, but the students were running away from the shooters, to the south and east sides of the school.
Put aside, for a moment, Smoker's own statement that the kids he saw had "numerous" gunshot wounds. Here's what Columbine teacher Craig Place, who'd taken cover on the west side of the school after the shooting started, told the FBI:

"A police car arrived and parked on the side of the hill. Approximately ten minutes later, students came out and ran behind the police car. Place believes these students came out the back door exit of the library. Place wanted to try to help the students...A police officer told [him] to 'Get the fuck out of here.'"
Perhaps Place is wrong about the amount of time involved. But chances are he had a better idea of the location of the Columbine library and cafeteria than Paul Smoker did that day.
The official version of what happened at Columbine depends on windows that break without anyone noticing them, gunshot wounds that don't exist, gun battles that aren't worth reporting, and cops and bad guys who manage to be in several places at once. Any way you slice it, it's a pretty rank piece of bologna. But that's Jeffco officials' story.
And they're sticking to it.

This is an advanced tip, but it has simple applications.
Don't you wish you could change some of the built-in routines? You
like the way they work, but would tweak it just a little bit.
For example, 'ispell' does a great service: it provides suggestions
for the correct spelling of a misspelled word. Wonderful, I use it
all the time. However, it often has the order of choices exactly
opposite of what I'd expect.
e.g. `waht' - the correct option 'what' is #7!
`sopporting' - the correction option 'supporting' is #2!
It's much easier if the choice I usually pick is the first one.
So, it'd be great if I could just tell 'ispell' to reverse the order
of the choices provided.
You can!
Advice is a mechanism that lets you get code to run before, after, or
"around" existing elisp routines. You can modify the arguments going
in, you can modify the result, you can call the existing routing
multiple times. And this advice can be nested too.
Why use advice as opposed to re-writing the routine?
Because (especially in this example) - you don't want to muck with
having your own copy of the code. It's messy, and you might miss
upgrades to that routine with new versions of Emacs.
So, with this case in hand, I spent a minute tracking down the routine
that could be advised. I spent a minute writing the advice:
(defadvice ispell-command-loop (before ispell-reverse-miss-list activate)
"reverse the first argument to ispell-command-loop"
(ad-set-arg 0 (reverse (ad-get-arg 0))))
And now my spelling choices are in the right order! yay.

Tuberculin syringe, England, 1901-1910
Tuberculin is injected into the skin to see whether a person has been exposed to the bacteria that cause tuberculosis. If the skin shows a reaction after 48 hours, they have been exposed. The tests help catch the disease before it develops and prevents its spread. This type of test is known as the Mantoux test, named after Charles Mantoux (1877-1947), who invented it in 1907. The test is still used today, especially to confirm the results of other tuberculosis tests. This glass and metal syringe was probably made in England.

Glossary: hypodermic syringe
A syringe is a simple piston pump consisting of a plunger that fits tightly in a tube. The plunger can be pulled and pushed along inside a cylindrical tube (the barrel), allowing the syringe to take in and expel a liquid or gas through an orifice at the open end of the tube. In modern medicine, a syringe is often fitted with a hypodermic needle to create a hypodermic syringe which is most commonly used for injecting materials directly into the bloodstream.

I've had a chance to play with the new suite a bit, and it's very nice! The interface is clean and easy to follow. The visual cues are very helpful, and its good to be able to toggle them. The Backgrounder and ModelMaker tools worked very well, and are a big help. Saving settings is fantastic, and makes tuning much more efficient. I went through all of the videos and wiki instructions and then tested everything by running a fresh video. After a bit of futzing with the parameters, it worked well. There is still some track stealing, but I did not necessarily optimize the parameters, so perhaps that could be reduced. Everything went pretty quickly, except for actual tracking, but that's OK since it can run unsupervised.

CHICAGO, April 18 (UPI) -- Belief in God is declining gradually worldwide, with faith highest among older people, a report released by the University of Chicago Wednesday found.
The report, "Belief About God Across Time and Countries," found 13 percent of people living in the former East Germany expressed belief in God, while at the high end 94 percent of Filipinos say they have always been believers. The report said researchers found belief in God is higher among older people regardless of where they live.
"Belief in God has decreased in most countries, but the declines are quite modest especially when calculated on a per annum basis," said Tom W. Smith, director of the General Social Survey of the social science research organization NORC at the University of Chicago.
The data came from 30 countries in which surveys about belief in God have been taken at least twice since 1991.
The study found atheism is strongest in northwest European countries and the former Soviet states, with the exception of Poland. Belief was found to be increasing in Russia, Slovenia and Israel.
On average, 43 percent of those 68 and older are certain God exists, compared with 23 percent of those 27 and younger, the report said.
"Looking at differences among age groups, the largest increases in belief in God most often occur among those 58 years of age and older," Smith said. "This suggests that belief in God is especially likely to increase among the oldest groups, perhaps in response to the increasing anticipation of mortality."
In the United States, 81 percent of those surveyed said they have always believed in God. The report said 54 percent of Americans younger than 28 said they were certain of God's existence, compared with 66 percent of the people 68 and older.

That's right, this coming Sunday, August 28th marks the 27th anniversary of my birth. And my brother's too, actually.
What do I want? From my readers and fellow CG mates, I can't expect or demand anything. What I'd like this year, really, is simple: just some email, or a post here in the forum or something. A little feedback.
Preferably something a little more than just wishing me a Happy Birthday. And certainly not a quote pyramid, either. On the other hand, if you're compelled to send fanart or something, don't let me stop you.
The reason for all this is that my Inboxes have been kind of empty lately, and I was just hoping to spark up some dialogue, that's all. And, if in the process, I gain some new readers or whatever, hey, all the better.

The Fox forensic police procedural Bones is on TV tonight (every network is obliged to have at least one!), and they have something new for viewers this week: an iPad companion app which will syncronize with the show and provide you with relevant, supplementary information in real time. It even has a few interactive elements, making it a more fully-realized version of this.
Need to figure out what the hell Brennan is talking about? Go into the the jargon translator. Confused how Angela used X clue to discover Y killer? Check out sketches and photos of the crime scenes. Wanna know what song is playing? Go into the juke box. There are other features too, but if you have an iPad, you should just play around with it yourself. [iTunes via Engadget]

John Ainsworth is my 2nd cousin 2x removed. His parents are Ralph Ainsworth and Margaret Ann Louisa Birkett. Our common ancestors are John Carradice and Ann Ridley, my 3x great grandparents.
John was born in Kendal, Westmorland in 1892 and his birth is registered in Q1.
On the 27 May 1915 John signed up for military service at Carlisle – he was 23 years and 4 months. He was enlisted in The Border Regiment. His military number was 21851.
John was posted to France on 17 December 1915.
As far as I can tell John was fighting with the 2nd battalion Border Regiment when he was killed in action on 14 July 1916.
I can't find any accurate information about the circumstances of his death. However the Battle of Bazentin Ridge began on 14 July 1916 so it is possible he was killed during that battle.
John is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial in France.

pinkyring brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 81 Designs von 11 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
The project is to make a logo for a liqueur brand that will be sold in Costa Rica. Should look something like an Estate Crest with tropical elements, I want to project a long family history of tropical plantations. The flavors of the liqueur will be coffee, coconut, macadamia and cacao.
Rich Coast Estates
We are creating these flavored liqueurs to sell in hotel and boutique giftshops in Costa Rica. Costa Rica has a climate a lot like Hawaii with tropical plants and birds like tucans and parrots, and a volcanic, mountainous landscape. It is very common to see coffee plantations, and an interesting feature that could be incorporated is the Arenal Volcano (http://www.arenal.net). These are all elements which could be used in the design, a good resource may be http://www.visitcostarica.com
- a clean logo that can be easily printed on a bottle directly, not a label. So try to limit the colors to less than 6 to 8. The print area on the bottle is 5cm wide by 15cm tall.
- an elegant crest that projects a long family history, kind of like a cigar brand or a good rum.
- try to incorporate elements that represent Costa Rica
- this should be an upscale logo
- There should be a master logo for the brand(the crest) and each flavor should have extension of the master logo. For example, if we have a 2 liqueurs (coffee and coconut) Each should have the master logo/crest on the bottle and way to distinguish the coffee liqueur from the coconut liqueur. I would like to see examples of the coconut and coffee designs for a bottle using the print area above.
- - too many elements or a busy logo
- - old fashioned or pirate themed design.
- - tiki or Polynesian design.

NBC 5 Investigates has obtained dash camera video that shows a violent collision involving two deputies from the Dallas County Sheriff's Department on Woodall Rogers Freeway in Dallas.
The crash happened in May. According to Sheriff's Academy records, the driver faulted in the crash report for causing the collision was a recent sheriff's academy graduate who had been on the street for less than six months. The report states he was driving with a training officer on their way to an crash scene.
The video shows the deputy racing through traffic to get to a crash. At times, the video shows the patrol car reaching speeds of 80 mph.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The car crosses over the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, and as the deputy merges on to the Woodall Rogers Freeway the video shows him driving onto the shoulder to get around traffic.
At that point, he is traveling about 45 mph when another sheriff's cruiser suddenly pulls out in front of him, causing the two cars to collide.
A few moments after the crash, you can hear someone checking to see if everyone is OK.
The crash report faults the driver who pulled out in front of the car driving on the shoulder.
The three deputies were taken to the hospital to be checked out but were not seriously hurt.
A spokeswoman for the department told NBC 5 Investigates she was trying to get more information from the traffic unit but didn't have any additional details to share or if the deputy accused of causing the crash was disciplined.
No word on how much the crash cost taxpayers, with two patrol cars damaged along with another driver's car.

Dallas Dallas boasts a vibrant cycling community, but riding in and around the city requires nerves of steel. Fast, multilane highways choked with traffic dominate the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metroplex, which some suspect might soon even sprawl over the Oklahoma border. "Because we're an oil state, people think we should drive," says Eric Jackson, president of Bike DFW, a cycling-advocacy group. He isn't exaggerating: The Texas House of Representatives nixed a bill last summer that would have required motorists to give bicyclists at least 3 feet of space when passing. While the city does have an ambitious cycling plan called Velo Web, which would create a 300-plus mile network of bike lanes, it has been stalled for a decade. Jackson hopes that, based on a recent positive meeting with officials, the plan will finally move forward in 2008. We hope so, too, but will believe it when we see it.
Memphis, Tennessee No bike lanes exist within the city limits of Memphis. And the city government, comprised of layers of bureaucracy, has repeatedly ignored or rejected requests from bike clubs, shops and other organizations to create facilities. For example, in 2005 the Tennessee department of transportation and the city engineer's office conducted a study of Walnut Grove Road, a main artery in Memphis which leads into Shelby Farms Park, a 4,500-acre urban park run by Shelby County. The study concluded that the road would be unsuitable for bikes, and recommended a few simple changes to its design to accommodate a bike lane. The lane would allow access to the park for bikes, instead of just cars. Officials promised to explore a plan, but new curbs, gutters and sidewalks were built without explanation, effectively eliminating the possibility of a lane.
Miami In Miami, the terrain lies pancake-flat and the sun shines bright nearly every day--perfect conditions for cycling. But Miami-Dade County has done little to foster safer streets for bikes, despite the fact that Florida ranks second in the nation in bicycle fatalities and that much of Miami's poorer population relies on bikes for transportation. The county enacted the Bicycle Facilities Plan in 2001, but it failed to state any specific goals. The city of Miami has no finished lanes, and the only one under construction is less than a mile long. The rest of the county's lanes are just as short, appearing randomly and disappearing a few blocks later. "We're so far behind and in the dark with bikes it's absurd," bike-shop owner Chris Marshall told the Miami New Times in January. "I'd say we're stuck in the '60s, but it's worse than the '60s. In the '60s you could still get around by bike."

The benefits of maintaining a healthy weight go far beyond improved energy and smaller clothing sizes. By losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight, you are also likely to enjoy these quality-of-life factors too.
- Fewer joint and muscle pains
- More energy and greater ability to join in desired activities
- Better regulation of bodily fluids and blood pressure
- Reduced burden on your heart and circulatory system
- Better sleep patterns
- Reductions in blood triglycerides, blood glucose, and risk of developing type 2 diabetes
- Reduced risk for heart disease and certain cancers
BMI is an indicator of the amount of body fat for most people. It is used as a screening tool to identify whether an adult is at a healthy weight. Find your BMI and what it means with our handy BMI Calculator. A separate BMI Percentile Calculator should be used for children and teens that takes a child's age and gender into consideration.
- BMI stands for Body Mass Index
This is a numerical value of your weight in relation to your height. A BMI between 18.5 and 25 kg/m² indicates a normal weight. A BMI of less than 18.5 kg/m² is considered underweight. A BMI between 25 kg/m² and 29.9 kg/m² is considered overweight. A BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher is considered obese.
- Excess weight increases the heart's work.
It also raises blood pressure and blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and lowers HDL (good) cholesterol levels. It can make diabetes more likely to develop, too. Lifestyle changes that help you maintain a 3-5% weight loss are likely to result in clinically meaningful improvements in blood glucose, triglycerides, and risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Greater weight loss can even help reduce BP and improve blood cholesterol.

Israeli hospital: Ex-PM Sharon's condition worsens
- Ariel Sharon has been comatose since suffering a stroke eight years ago
- He suffered the stroke at the height of his political power
- The hospital said he is surrounded by family
Former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon's condition has "deteriorated significantly," a hospital spokesman at the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv told USA TODAY Network.
David Weinberg of the Israeli hospital treating Sharon said he remains in critical condition.
The 85-year-old ex-general has been in a coma and connected to a respirator for eight years since suffering a stroke in 2006 while in office. In the last week, function of his key bodily organs has worsened, according to the hospital.
Sheba Medical Center said Sharon is now surrounded by family. His family has said in previous reports that Sharon sometimes opens his eyes and moves his fingers, but that his kidneys and other key bodily organs are in decline.
Little information has been available to the public about his condition over the years. Anyone who goes into Sharon's room has their cellphones taken away, said Judy Siegel-Itzkovich, editor at The Jerusalem Post.
Last year, an Israeli medical team found Sharon's brain had "robust activity" in response to pictures of his family and a recording of his son's voice. But these findings do not definitively indicate consciousness, said Dr. Nicholas Schiff, neurology and neuroscience professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, who has studied brain activity in comatose patients but was not involved in Sharon's tests.
Research is ongoing into just how much consciousness is associated with certain brain activity, Schiff said.
"There's a lot of variance in structural brain injury," he said.
The kind of stroke Sharon suffered was a hemorrhagic stroke, which means a blood vessel bursts and "liberates blood in the brain tissue," said Dr. Steven Zeiler, director of the stroke research at John Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Zeiler has not treated Sharon.
All strokes are not created equal and it depends on where the damage is in the brain, he said. Given the length of time Sharon has been in a coma, Zeiler said, "It's not the brain bleed that will kill him. It's the body not being able to care for himself."

Missouri City TX carpet cleaning at affordable prices
Have you ever hired professional carpet cleaning Missouri City TX to clean your carpet? A lot of individuals feel that vacuuming their carpet regularly and occasionally shampooing it is enough. The truth is that professional carpet cleaners can use industrial-grade equipment and products to deep cleanse your carpet. You should look for professional carpet cleaning Missouri City TX and use their services on a regular basis to keep your carpet clean, increase its lifespan and to improve the quality of the air you breathe.
Why Is Vacuuming Your Missouri City TX Carpet Not Enough?
Vacuuming your carpet is not enough to keep it clean, even if you do it regularly. Carpets are a popular flooring option and have their advantages, but the downside of carpeting is that the fibers of
the carpet can trap particles. Dust mites, food particles, pollen and other allergens such as pet dander can get trapped under the fibers of your carpet. Vacuuming only eliminates the particles that are present on the surface of your carpet but does nothing for the particles that are trapped under carpet fibers.
What Are The Advantages Of Using A Professional Carpet Cleaning Service in Missouri City TX?
A professional residential carpet cleaner will be able to thoroughly clean your carpet and eliminate all the particles trapped under the carpet fibers. They can also get rid of stains that you are unable to eliinate, restore the original color of your carpet, improve the quality of the air you breathe and increase the lifespan of your carpet.
How Does Professional Carpet Cleaning Missouri City TX Increase The Lifespan Of Your Carpet?
The presence of particles trapped under carpet fibers causes these fibers to break down at a faster pace. This means your carpet will feel less soft and will eventually lose its original aspect. Even if you purchased a high quality carpet designed to last for years, not using the services of a professional carpet cleaner means the carpet will go through a lot of wear and tear. This is especially an issue in high traffic area since foot traffic will cause even more fibers to break. Deep cleaning your carpet will help it withstand traffic and reduce the number of fibers that are broken.
How Does Professional Carpet Cleaning in Missouri City Texas Improve The Quality Of The Air You Breathe?
The particles that were trapped under carpet fibers are released in the air when the fibers break. This means that pollen particles can be present in the air you breathe all year round. There might be a lot of pet dander particles in your indoors air as well as dust mites, even if you clean your home regularly. The best way to clean up the air you breathe is to deep cleanse your carpet on a regular basis. The presence of these particles in the air you breathe can make existing respiratory conditions worse and cause your allergies to act up. Being exposed to low quality indoors air for a long period of time makes you more likely to develop allergies and other respiratory problems such as asthma. Young children are especially sensitive to this and you definitely need to find a good carpet cleaning service in the Missouri City TX area if you have a young child who suffers from asthma or allergies.
What Are The Other Advantages Of Using A Missouri City TX Carpet Cleaning Service?
Professional carpet cleaning Missouri City Texas can do a lot more than just deep clean your carpet. They can make stains disappear and treat your carpet to get rid of bad odors. This is ideal if you recently adopted a puppy who eliminated on the carpet. This is also a good way to get rid of nicotine smells if you just moved in to a home that used to be occupied by smokers. Your carpet can also be treated to restore its original color, which will make an entire room look a lot better. You can choose to use additional services, such as having your carpet coated to be more resistant to spills. This is an interesting option if you have a toddler or want to adopt a puppy.
How Often Should You Have Your Missouri City TX Carpet Cleaned?
This depends on why you want to have your carpet professionally cleaned. You might need to have a professional come in and deep clean your carpet three to four times a year if someone in your family suffers from allergies. You might want to have your carpet cleaned once a year if you simply want to maintain a good quality of indoor air and want to increase the lifespan of the carpet while preserving its appearance. You might also want to occasionally use carpet cleaning Missouri City service to get rid of a bad odor, make stains disappear or to have your carpet coated.
Are There Any Downsides To Having Your Carpet Professionally Cleaned?
Having your carpet cleaned by a professional doesn't mean you won't have to clean it anymore. You should still vacuum your carpet regularly to prevent more particles from setting into the carpet. The other downside is that some treatments will void the manufacturer's warranty on your carpet. If your carpet is still under warranty, having a protecting sealant applied to make the carpet more resistant to spills will probably void the warranty. Take the time to read the warranty and ask yourself if this treatment is worth it since you might need it more than the warranty. You also need to find out more about the products that will be used to clan your carpet. A lot of professional carpet cleaners use products that are environmental-friendly and won't expose your family and pets to harsh chemicals, but it is always best to ask about the products that will be used.
How Can You Find The Right Carpet Cleaning Missouri City TX?

Take the time to contact different services so you can ask questions and talk to friends and neighbors to get recommendations.
What Should You Look For When Choosing A Missouri City TX Carpet Cleaner?
Look for a company that has an excellent reputation and make sure the professionals who will clean your carpet are using high quality equipment and products. Ideally, they should have several certifications and should have received up to date training on the best cleaning methods and products. Choose a company that is properly licensed and insured and compare their fees with other similar services to make sure they are affordable. Ask about the products they use and about the services they offer to make sure the carpet cleaning Friendswood company you choose is a good match for your needs.
Using the services of a professional carpet cleaner is the best way to make your carpet look better, increase its lifespan and get rid of allergens and other harmful particles in the air you breathe.

Renewable energy projects could benefit from a little IRS help
More money can be pumped into renewable and efficient energy projects with a little help from the taxman, federal agencies and banking regulators says a new report sent to President Obama.
"Powering Forward" was developed by the Center for the New Energy Economy at Colorado State University, after a series of roundtables with CEOs, energy experts, academics and "thought leaders."
The 200-page report is described by former Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, founder the new energy economy center, as "comprehensive menu of options," which is to say a catch-all of a lot of the ideas that have already appeared here and there. The report was delivered to the White House last week.
Ritter emphasized that not all of the participants agreed with all of the ideas, but the report reflects the recommendations that received the strongest support.
The report covers five areas:
* Doubling energy productivity
* Financing renewable energy
* Producing natural gas responsibly
* Developing alternative fuels and vehicles, and
* Enabling electric and gas utilities to adapt to the new realities of the 21st century
Among the recommendations are some old chestnuts, such as accounting for the full life-cycle benefits and costs of each energy source and speeding up approvals of new energy efficient appliances.
There are, however, several proposals when taken together really are looking to get more money into energy saving and renewable energy projects.

First ingredient is a named meat product.
Insufficient meat content, use of grain fragments, fats of unidentifiable origin and controversial filler.
The main ingredient in the food is a named meat product in meal form. It is the sole meat product in the food. The next three ingredients are all forms of rice. This is an example of the practice known as splitting and it is likely that the combined rice products outweigh the chicken as the main ingredient in the food. Rice flour and rice bran are both grain fragments, the former being low quality filler.
The fat ingredient in the food is an unspecified product. We prefer not to see the use of ingredients for which source cannot be identified, and note that low cost ingredients like this are usually very low quality.
Oatmeal is a decent quality grain but beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than dried egg product in the food.

Mild Snow Outlook for Rest of Mid-Missouri Winter
Related Story
COLUMBIA - While the blizzard dubbed "Nemo" by some media outlets approaches the Northeast, winter weather in Columbia remains calm.
However, recent Mid-Missouri winters have been unpredictable. The "Snowpacolypse" of 2011 brought Columbia about 18 inches of snowfall. According to the National Weather Service, the city received a total of 46 inches that winter season.
But last year, Columbia only got nine inches total for the season.
KOMU 8 Meteorologist intern Tori Stepanek says this season will likely be between the two extremes.
"We normally average around 24 to 30 inches of snow during a winter season. This year I think we'll be right around that," Stepanek said.
Stepanek added that Columbia should expect two or three more snowfalls this winter.

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

- What light color should I choose?
- Warm White is equivalent to a standard incandescent light color and is most popular for residential applications. It has a slight warm yellow glow to it that many people find comfortable and we are all used to seeing in our homes. It is a 2700-3000K on the Kelvin Light Color Scale.
DayWhite™ most closely replicates natural daylight and does have a slight blue hue to the light output. This is rarely seen in residential applications as the light output can seem a bit harsh and bright, and is most commonly seen in exterior or commercial applications. This is the brightest of the White light color options. It is a 5500-6000K on the Kelvin Light Color Scale.

Choosing a color
White Light
Warm White
Warm White is most popular light color for residential applications and has a bit of a gentle/soft warmth/yellowish hue to it. Warm white is the same color as a standard incandescent light bulb, which is 2700-3000K.
Cool White
Cool white (also referred to as Neutral White) is popular for commercial (office/hospital/medical/municipal) applications. It is also very popular in modern-style residential projects. Cool white is a very pure white, it doesn't really have any yellowish or blueish hue. Cool white is the same color as most fluorescent light bulbs, which is 4000-4300K.
Day White (Daylight White)
DayWhite TM is the brightest LED light color that we offer and is popular in industrial and other applications where a high color temperature and high brightness is desired. DayWhite is an ultra-pure white, with a bit of a blue-ish hue, designed to mimic the color of natural sunlight. It is the same color as metal halide bulbs, which is 6000K.
Colored Light
If you're looking for a specific color of light output, we also offer a variety of colored LEDs, including: Blue, Green, Red and Yellow.

Choosing the right lens
Clear Lens
A clear lens will give you the greatest light output from your LED lamp, but you won't have any diffusion of the lights. Clear lenses are the most popular choice.
Frosted Lens
A frosted lens nicely diffuses the light from your LED lamp, but you'll lose a bit of brightness.

Choosing a Base Type
This is also called a "Medium Base" and is the size you think of when you imagine a standard light bulb socket. The 26 denotes the diameter (in milimeters) of the screw-in part of the bulb.
This is also called a "Mini or Candelabra Base" and uses a smaller bulb socket, similar to what you see on many chandaliers. The 14 denotes the diameter (in milimeters) of the screw-in part of the bulb.

Same day veneers use CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technologies, such as CEREC®, to design and produce dental veneers in just one office visit. These systems combine a small intraoral camera, 3-D imaging technology, specialized software, and an in-office milling machine. The precision of CAD/CAM technology streamlines the entire process, saving you time and money, while delivering incredibly natural-looking results.
Same day veneers provide patients who want to address a number of cosmetic imperfections the opportunity to achieve instant and gratifying results.
With this advanced technology, digital impressions are taken, eliminating the need for messy and uncomfortable tray and putty impressions. Once the images are captured, they are uploaded to a chairside computer. Using state-of-the-art software, the dentist will design each veneer to enhance the natural aesthetics of your smile, carefully selecting the appropriate shade and size. As you wait for the milling machine to fabricate your restorations, the dentist will prep your teeth, removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a realistic effect. Once the veneers are completed, they will be securely bonded in place.
Traditional veneers require at least two office visits and several weeks for fabrication at an off-site lab. Most patients will be provided with temporary veneers while they wait. In contrast, same day veneers offer:
During your initial consultation, the dentist will determine your candidacy by performing a complete examination. They will take the time to listen to your cosmetic goals and create a treatment plan intended to meet those expectations, while guiding you through the same day veneers process.
Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting the dentist every six months will help extend the longevity of your veneers. Maintenance tips include:
You should also minimize your consumption of deeply colored foods and drinks, such as red wine, coffee, tea, and dark berries. Although porcelain is stain-resistant, these items can darken the underlying teeth and dental cement.
Same day veneers can offer lasting and beautiful results for 10 years or longer. It is important to choose a skilled and well-trained cosmetic dentist who can provide examples of past results. A consultation is necessary in order to learn more about your candidacy and whether same day veneers are right for you.

The ABX credit data is showing that the rate of increase of 60+ delinquency for 2006 mortgages is clearly slowing. It has been doing so for several months. The worse the pool of mortgages the faster the improvement.
This is also true of other mortgage pools I am looking at – though some 2007 pools are continuing to deteriorate.
Companies that wrote lots of their business in 2006 might now be seeing light at the end of the tunnel. For companies that wrote lots of business in 2007 that light might be an oncoming train.This is relevant to the underlying books of the bond insurers and others.
I am wondering whether this trend applies to mortgages generally - as some bond insurers stopped writing earlier than others - and some mortgage insurers ramped up their business in 2007 to take advantage of the "opportunities" as competitors left the market.If anyone has been looking at this sort of data in detail - I would love you to share it with me.

This is a fantastic recipe! I started making it years ago and lost the recipe .. now that I have it again time to make! Tender sweet pork steaks!
Mar 29, 2014
I was totally surprised that my family didn't like this dish as they love peaches.. It makes a beautiful presentation. We were given a quarter of a hog for Christmas and I have been searching various ways to fix it. I was told they would rather have it pan fried and served with BBQ sauce; I tried.

It was a great receipe! Family loved it!
Jun 16, 2009
Sorry I meant electric skillet I think.
Jun 16, 2009
This recipe is great! I have made one quite simular for years. I use the electric pan fryer instead at simmer. Love it! If you do it that way do not add the rice until about 20 minutes until done. I think I like the slow cooker better just because I can put it on and leave it alone to cook! I also add Lowrey salt and oregano.

Of the many charges you can level at Cass McCombs (aloof, introspective, just plain weird), no one will ever brand one of America's finest singer-songwriters as lazy. Humor Risk is McCombs' second album of 2011, following on from the bleak Wit's End released in April, and a fine counterpoint to the compelling funeral march of 'County Line' and 'Saturday Song'. Hell, you could even describe it as cheerful at points.
"Love thine enemy," drawls McCombs with a louche Californian swagger on the album's opening track of the same title. "Love thine enemy but hate the lack of sincerity." As jokes go it's a gentle rib-tickler but a rib-tickler nonetheless and one which sets the tone for a subtly charming record. Those familiar with our frequently tortured hero will find this new levity a minor revelation. Those who've yet to experience the likes of 'The Executioner's Song' are in for a bit of a shock when they delve into his sterling back catalogue.
It's hard to tell how much of a direct contrast to Wit's End McCombs designed Humor Risk to be and how much the cards just fell that way. We could of course ask the man but, since he now only conducts interviews by postal mail, getting an answer might take a while. The evidence certainly indicates a pointed desire to shun the gloomy shroud that hung over his 'fifth-and-a-half album'.
Culled from the same sessions as Wit's End, Humor Risk is also eight tracks long but holds a greatly lessened running time. Songs like 'Mystery Mail' and 'The Same Thing' can even be described as jaunty, the kind of ditties you could gently strut along to given a sunny day and a sudden penchant for ramshackle indie-pop.
That's not to say McCombs has suddenly turned the corner marked 'radio friendly'. The rambling string-picking that makes up 'Mariah' sounds like it was recorded deep within the bowls of a vast well with the vocal and guitar microphones at entirely opposing ends. 'The Living Word' is also the prettiest song with a loosely Biblical theme you'll hear all year, "The word came first, in the beginning came the word."
While Humor Risk less instantly memorable than Wit's End, it's a lot easier to digest and is probably the record you'll end up spinning most out of the two. Placed together, the pair stand as a neat assessment of McCombs' silky talent to combine gloom with old country glamour. Neither of these are 'classic' records but they're classic Cass and that should be good enough for anyone who lends their ears to this flawed but brilliant individual.

Geno named to First Team, Fubara Second, Osorio Third
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (Dec. 11, 2012) – The NSCAA posted its 2012 All-Region teams on Sunday, naming ETSU junior David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.), junior Itode Fubara (Ogbema, Nigeria), and senior Alesi Osorio as members of the All-South Region squads.
Geno received the highest of all-region honors, being named one of four forwards to the first team. The Dobyns-Bennett High School product broke ETSU's single-season records in goals, assists and points on the 2012 campaign, scoring 11 times while lending eight assists to amass 30 total points. Those marks were some of the best in the NCAA this year, ranking Geno among the nation's top 25 in points per game (1.50) and total points, while also finishing top 30 in total goals and total assists.
In his collegiate career, Geno now has 23 goals, 16 assists and 62 points, which are all ETSU's program records. Geno surpassed all three marks – formerly held by Aaron Schoenfeld, a current member of the Columbus Crew in the MLS – breaking the goals record with a score in the 30th minute of ETSU's 2-2 draw with then-No. 18 Wake Forest in early October.
Fubara landed second-team honors at the midfield position. The 2010 Atlantic Sun Tournament MVP scored twice while registering three assists to end up with seven points on the year. Although the individual statistics do not necessarily reflect it, Fubara was a critical part of the Buccaneers' defensive midfield. ETSU posted seven shutouts and held opponents to a goals against average of 0.93 in 20 games, thanks in large part to Fubara's play at his defensive position. Fubara was named to the A-Sun All-Tournament Team in mid-November for the third time in his career.
Osorio rounded out ETSU's all-region selections, being named to the third team as one of four midfielders. The Buccaneer senior scored four goals and notched three assists for 11 points on the season, ranking second on the team in all three statistical categories. Osorio had a knack for scoring in clutch moments, finishing off Stetson, 1-0, with a score late in the game to earn ETSU a berth into the 2012 A-Sun Tournament Championship, while also scoring ETSU's only goal in a 1-1 draw at then-No. 25 Furman. Osorio ends his ETSU career as the Bucs' all-time leader in games played and started, making 77 appearances and 73 starts.
The all-region honors for all three Buccaneers are the first of their respective collegiate careers.
