I've had a few inquiries about my Gluten-Free Pinterest board.
I know that some of you are readers who found me years ago through the True Campaign. Those of you who know me in real life, or are long time readers, will remember my issue in the past with disordered eating. If you are one of those dear friends (or are a current friend who is struggling), please know that this is not a new fad-diet I've put myself on. I am not trying to lose weight by cutting out wheat. I do not believe wheat makes us fat. I do not believe eating gluten free will make us skinny. (Pictured above is a delicious brownie I made this week. Definitely a high sugar/fat treat, gluten-free nonetheless!)
However, in the interest of full disclosure (and an answer to those who are concerned) we do have other issues. I have had chronic uticaria and dermographism (hives) for almost ten years. I am currently on three different antihistamines. Thankfully, medical tests have shown that I do not have an autoimmune disease, but (perhaps) a histamine intolerance.
Unfortunately, for this carb loving girl, wheat is high in histamines (along with a lot of other foods!) and so I am choosing to eat as close to gluten- free as possible.
My son is also eating gluten-free due to stomach issues he has struggled with all his life (he would prefer I keep his personal biz off the blog). So we are trying to cut out wheat and high histamine/fructose foods together. We find ourselves eating a LOT of veggies, non-wheat whole grains, lean meats, and legumes these days. Its a challenge, but we extend ourselves a lot of grace.
Sometimes, when the need arises or we decide a stomach ache and itchiness is worth the meal, we eat what is set before us. Thankfully, our issues aren't celiac or any other medical condition that would require us to treat wheat as poison. That would be so hard. My heart goes out to those who really cannot have wheat because to their bodies it IS poison, and makes them very ill.
So, that is the story of my Gluten-Free Pinterest board (that ironically, consists mostly of sugary baked goods: once a carb eater, always a carb eater.).
I am uncertain who still reads this blog from those days when I shared how God mercifully carried me through years of eating disorder, but I am acutely aware that you may still be stopping by. I am also aware that there are young people (including my children and their friends) who occasionally click over.
"Going gluten free" is a trend right now that many people are trying out to promote better health and weight loss. This is not the case for me, which is why I hadn't mentioned it until now. However I DO realize that in this day of social media, anything I pin, tweet, comment or write is public domain. Your questions are always welcome.
I don't know that I will write much about this change in our diet for several reasons: 1)I want to be sensitive to the care and keeping of the La Vida family's privacy, 2) I don't want to cause anyone who may be struggling with eating issues to stumble, 3) There are MANY gluten-free websites and blogs that can share with greater depth and interest that I can. "Diet" is not an area I want to over-focus, in life or on the blog. 4) Food is such a personal thing... It stirs so much in us, both wonderful and difficult!
For these reasons, I may not be posting much about this (other than a recipe or two), but you are welcome to follow my Pinterest board!
Happy Wednesday!

Chia Acai energy bar includes chia seeds, yerba mate, Acai, and White Tea and can be used as a meal replacement bar and has been used as a fast convenient forkless and dishless breakfast. Chia seeds can be used with most food and can be used with any drink. Chia seeds are catching on with many new diabetic recipes. Chia Seeds expand up to 9 times their size and can help you feel full. Which is great, especially if you want to stop those late night snacks. They help deal with the symptoms of diabetes. One very stressful symptom of diabetes is metabolizing carbohydrates to sugar. Chia is high in fiber and slows down the metabolization of carbohydrates to sugar. Chia is gluten free, high in fiber, and 1 ounce of chia seeds and has a glycemic index of 1. A natural sweetener Stevia is it is up to 30 times stronger than sugar with no calories. With its extracts having up to 30 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. and are good for weight loss.

Mayor's Office
City officials are asking for residents to help clean up fireworks debris following private and public Independence Day celebrations.
The City Watershed Management Division and Keep Lincoln and Lancaster County Beautiful are working with neighborhood associations and a local fireworks distributor to remind residents to prevent firework debris from entering into the City's storm drains. Fireworks, shells and packaging contain harmful chemicals, and the common firework ingredient perchlorate is a source of water pollution. Once perchlorate enters a waterway through a storm drain, it remains there for 20 to 80 days.
Volunteers are needed Saturday, July 7 to help clean up Oak Lake Park, the site of the City's annual Uncle Sam Jam. The organized community cleanup from 10 a.m. to noon is sponsored by the Cleaner Streams program of Watershed Management, EcoStores Nebraska, Prairieland Dairy and Ayars & Ayars. Volunteers are asked to meet on the west side of Oak Lake off 1st Street. Lunch and t-shirts will be provided while they last.
For more information on the Oak Lake Park cleanup, contact Christine Hunt at (402) 477-3606 or firstname.lastname@example.com; or Emma Trewhitt at (402) 441-7075 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

PAC Ceremonial Groundbreaking 4/26
April 14, 2011
MACOMB, IL – Western Illinois University's Performing Arts Center will be one step closer to reality when the ceremonial groundbreaking takes place at 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 26 on the WIU-Macomb campus. The event will be held directly west of the tennis courts, just north of Corbin Hall, located on Western Avenue (rain location: College of Fine Arts and Communication Recital Hall). Capital Development Board (CDB) Director Jim Underwood will be in attendance, and Gov. Pat Quinn has been invited. A reception will follow in the Multicultural Center (C.T. Vivian Way/Murray Street).
"I greatly appreciate the efforts of the legislature and the numerous individuals and organizations throughout the region for their ongoing support of, and commitment to, the Performing Arts Center," said WIU President Al Goldfarb. "We are incredibly excited to begin moving forward on this long-awaited project. This is a project that has been a priority for Western Illinois University for many years, long before I became president. I cannot wait to come back to campus to attend performances and events in the new center."
In Summer 2009, Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill for Illinois Jobs Now!, a jobs and capital construction plan, which provided $67.8 million for constructing the Performing Arts Center in Macomb.
"We would like to invite campus and community residents, and individuals from every county in this region, to attend the April 26 ceremonial groundbreaking. It is truly going to be a celebration," said Paul Kreider, dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communication. "After approximately 30 months of construction, which is anticipated to begin in 2012, Western's Performing Arts Center will open, giving our outstanding students and faculty a facility worthy of their talents; and the center will be a venue available to the entire region, becoming a cultural center for the people of western Illinois."
The Performing Arts Center, which has been designed by the architectural/design firms of Pelli Clarke Pelli of New Haven, CT, and O'Donnell, Wicklund, Pigozzi, and Peterson (OWP/P) of Chicago and Phoenix, AZ, will include a 1,400-seat proscenium theatre auditorium with two balconies, a 250-seat thrust stage and a 150-seat studio theatre. There also will be dance, jazz and theatre rehearsal studios; dressing rooms adjacent to the theatres; a scenery/design workshop and a costume shop; administration offices; and a loading dock which will accommodate semis and buses for professional touring companies and orchestras. The new facility, which has been designed with five welcoming "fronts," creates a new "arts" quadrangle between the Browne Hall/PAC building, Memorial, Simpkins and Corbin halls.
According to Kreider, the construction documents will be designed by OWP/P of Chicago. Staff will develop the technical documents that will be used to bid the project and to build the Performing Arts Center.

Waking up tired? Blame electricity
Our internal clocks are drifting out of sync, and indoor lighting may be to blame. A new study suggests that just a few days in the great outdoors puts us back in tune with the solar cycle, and reconnecting with the sun could make us less drowsy.
Electricity has given us the freedom to choose our bedtimes; staying up after dark is as easy as flipping a light switch. But we pay a price for this luxury, says integrative physiologist Kenneth Wright, of the University of Colorado, who led the new study. People with later bedtimes and wake times are exposed to more artificial light and less sunlight, he says, which means their bodies aren't getting the natural cues humans once relied on.
To understand how falling out of sync with the sun changes our body's internal clock -- or circadian rhythm -- sleep researchers look to the timekeeping mechanisms in the brain, particularly how we regulate the hormone melatonin. Released about two hours before sleep, melatonin makes us feel drowsy as we wind down for rest, Wright says. It then decreases as we become alert in the morning. The mechanisms driving our clock are complex and hard to measure, but the daily spike and drop in melatonin are like its chimes. "Melatonin tells us what time it is in the body," Wright says.
And when we keep strange schedules, our melatonin goes haywire. Turning lights on at night can delay melatonin release and shift the timing of our internal clock, says sleep physiologist Derk-Jan Dijk, of the University of Surrey in England, who was not involved in the work. But it wasn't clear just what would happen in modern, electricity-adapted humans if all artificial light were suddenly taken away. "This is the first time that somebody has done the obvious but important experiment," he says.
Wright and his colleagues outfitted eight subjects with activity-tracking watches that carry light intensity detectors and motion sensors to keep tabs on sleep and wake times. For the first week, the participants went about their lives, spent mostly in artificially lit buildings. They then spent 24 hours in a lab, where the researchers periodically tested the melatonin levels in their saliva. In the second week, the group went camping in the Colorado Rockies, where they could sleep and wake up whenever they wanted but had no access to TV, cell phones or flashlights. Their world was illuminated only by sunlight and campfires. The group returned from their excursion for another stint of saliva sampling.
Data from the watches showed that subjects got about the same amount of sleep in the two settings. But the shift from artificial to natural light, which nearly quadrupled their total light exposure, also tinkered with their internal clocks. After camping, the subject's biological cycles had shifted to align with the sun. Their bodies released melatonin right at sunset -- two hours earlier than under artificial light conditions -- shut it off again just after sunrise, the team reported last week in Current Biology.
"When we expose ourselves to only natural light, we are in sync with that light-dark cycle quite strongly," Wright says.
The natural night owls in the group saw an especially dramatic shift in their melatonin cycle and became more similar to the early birds. The team suggests that artificial light had been exerting a particularly strong influence on the internal clocks of the night owls. The subjects weren't asked to report whether they felt less drowsy after the change in lighting.
Observing changes in human rhythms in a natural environment represents a "breakthrough," says Marie Dumont, a chronobiologist at the University of Montreal. "I think we forget most of the time that the knowledge that we have comes from laboratory and artificial conditions," she says. Dumont cautions, however, that few conclusions can be drawn from this small group of individuals. Changes in physical activity during the camping trip and the social interaction subjects had also likely influenced the retiming of their internal clocks, she says.
But the work may offer clues about the tiredness that plagues many night owls. Other studies have shown that our low point in alertness, when melatonin production is shutting off in the morning, tends to occur about two hours after awakening.
"We wake up, but then our clock still promotes sleepiness, and we don't feel well," explains Dijk, whose research group first described this unfortunate paradox. After the week of camping, participants' melatonin shutoff occurred before they awoke instead of after. Wright says that the discrepancy between our melatonin cycle and our sleep-wake cycle could account for our morning sleepiness, an explanation Dijk calls "an interesting suggestion" that needs more thorough study.
Because we're not going to abandon our electrified existence anytime soon, Wright says that certain habits can counteract our estrangement from the sun. He recommends letting plenty of light into your room in the morning, exposing yourself to more natural light throughout the day, and dimming the lighting in your home a couple hours before bed.

Times' Latest Heavily Pro-Democratic Poll Still Finds Resistance to Obama-Care
The latest New York Times-CBS poll was reported by Adam Nagourney and Dalia Sussman for Friday's front page - "Public Wary of Obama on War and Health Care, Poll Finds." The news wasn't great for Barack Obama's agenda, though Nagourney, the paper's chief political reporter, performed some helpful spinning for the president.
Revealingly, the poll still gives the president a 56% approval rating, one of his highest recent numbers. The Gallup poll, for example, has him in the low fifties of late, and Rasmussen Reports has him at 51% today.
One possible reason for Obama's relatively high standing is the Times' opaque "poll weighting" methodology.The "weighting" formula applied by the pollstersin this latest poll increased the gap between Democrat and Republican respondents from a "raw" six-point gap in actual respondenst(34%-28% Democrats over Republicans) to a 15-point chasm in the "weighted" final poll (37%-22% Democrats over Republicans).
Those raw figures showing a six-point gap come from the CBS version of the poll, which unlike the Times version shows the actual, "unweighted" numbers of Democrat and Republican respondents as well as the "weighted" numbers used in the poll itself.
Here's the relevant excerpt from the very end of CBS's .PDFversion of the poll:
Total Respondents 1042
Total Republicans289 234 (22%)
Total Democrats357 385 (37%)
Total Independents 396 423 (41%)
Notice how the "Unweighted" Republican number fell, while the "Unweighted" Democratic number rose?
Strangely, the paper's "weighting" process almost always end up heavily favoring the Democrats. The last NYT/CBS poll, reported on July 30, also had a large party identification disparity, though less severe than in today's poll, and so did theone before.Weighting is standard polling practice, but the Times version hugely favors Democrats.
From Friday's front-page poll story:
President Obama is confronting declining support for his handling of the war in Afghanistan and an electorate confused and anxious about a health care overhaul as he prepares for pivotal battles over both issues, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
But Mr. Obama is going into the fall having retained considerable political strength. At 56 percent, his approval rating is down from earlier in the year but still reasonably strong at this point compared with recent presidents.
More Americans are starting to credit his stimulus package with having helped to revive the economy. And Mr. Obama retains a decided advantage with the American public over Republicans on prominent issues, starting with health care.
The poll found that an intense campaign by Mr. Obama to rally support behind his health care plan - including an address to Congress, a run of television interviews and rallies across the country - appears to have done little to allay concerns.
But the poll suggests that Mr. Obama is in a decidedly more commanding position than Republicans on this issue as Congressional negotiations move into final stages. Most Americans trust Mr. Obama more than Republicans to make the right decisions on the issue; 76 percent said Republicans had not even laid out a clear health care plan.
Perhaps because the media hasn't covered it?
Nagourney then pointed out Obama's approval rating (56%) is similar to that of Ronald Reagan's at the same point in his presidency (53%) and higher than Bill Clinton's (43%), while noting it was down from 68% in the spring.
Buried in the last three paragraphs is an oversimplified take on conservative opposition to both health care "death panels" and the use of tax money to provide health benefits to illegal immigrants:
And there is abundant evidence that critics of the bill made progress over the summer while the White House stayed largely silent: about one in four respondents said they believed that health care legislation would create organizations to decide when to stop providing medical care to the elderly - so-called death panels - despite an all-out effort by Mr. Obama to debunk the claim, which is false. Three in 10 say the bill would use taxpayer money to provide health care benefits to illegal immigrants.
In fact, Mr. Obama has specifically rejected any effort to have the bill cover health insurance for illegal immigrants.
But with no enforcement provisionsto verify citizenship, which Democrats have refused to include, what is to stop illegal immigrants receiving government health benefits? Illegal immigration is also illegal, yet there are millions of people in the country illegally because of insufficient enforcement.
Despite the Times' optimism on the prospects for government-controlled heatlh care, its own poll shows people are resistant to the idea. Here's Question 20 (there's a .PDF version of the entire poll here).
Question 20. Which of the following three statements comes closest to expressing your overall view of the health care system in the United States: 1. On the whole, the health care system works pretty well and only minor changes are necessary to make it work better. 2. There are some good things in our health care system, but fundamental changes are needed. 3. Our health care system has so much wrong with it that we need to completely rebuild it.
By 70%-30%, respondents rejected the "completely rebuild" option: Nineteen percent favored only "minor changes," while 51% wanted "fundamental changes." Only 30% wanted to "completely rebuild" the system. That shows lots of dissatisfaction with American health care, but that's different from starting anew.
That 40-point gap (70%-30%) matches the highest disparity ever found in a CBS-NYT poll on the question. Back in September 1993, during the debate over Clinton care, the gap was a mere 13 points, with 55% wanting either "minor changes" or "fundamental" changes" and 42% favoring the "completely rebuild" option. In other words, people may not be satisfied with health care in America, but they are less dissatisfied then they've been in a while.
Even in a poll heavily weighted toward Democrats.

It's a good thing, because soon after, Brad was attacked by Ukrainian journalist Vitalii Suduik!

When you think about baseball in the 1990s, names like Ken Griffey Jr. and Cal Ripken come to mind. Yet, there were so many classic, run of the mill, and mediocre ballplayers in that time as well. Here are some of the most average to grace professional ballfields during that time.
General guidelines used are at least 10 years played several of which were spent as a starter, a career average below .265 and not so stellar power numbers – 15-20 home runs and 70 RBIs a season. Keep in mind, other factors, such as funny memories and the comedic value of a player's name, can weigh in as well. Also keep in mind, this list is almost 100 percent arbitrary.
Feel free to add players you thought should be included in the comment section.
Honorable Mention
Butch Huskey. This is based solely on the fact that his name is Butch Huskey.
Shane Spencer. Yankees' play-by-play man Rod Sterling dubbed him 'The Home Run Dispencer,' even though Spencer had just 59 in his career and never hit more than 12 in a single season. Fitting.
Royce Clayton. It's not easy to play for 11 different teams in a 17-year career and hit just .258 lifetime.
5. Charlie Hayes, 3B When you spend no more than three consecutive seasons with one team during a 14-year career, you must be pretty darn average. Hayes bounced from San Francisco to Philadelphia to New York to Colorado back to Philly, then to Pittsburgh, back to New York, back to San Fran, then to Milwaukee before finishing up in Houston in 2001.
A career .262 hitter, Hayes usually finished with between eight and 15 home runs a season and cracked 20 just once. He never reach 100 RBIs either, and floated around 45-65 a year for most of his career.
4. Mickey Morandini, OF
When you think about what Mickey Morandini did well during his 11-year career, a few things come to mind: he only grounded into 94 double plays in 4,558 at-bats (that's .02 per game, for the fans counting at home) and he finished 24th in MVP voting for the NL in 1998. But when those are the things you did well, you're probably pretty mediocre.
Morandini hit .262 in his career, same as Hayes, and never had more than 10 home runs in a season – he averaged about four per campaign. He did steal roughly 15 bases a year, but six seasons with an average below .260 earn him a spot on this list.
3. Pete Incaviglia, LF
To be honest, I don't think I had ever heard of Incaviglia before making this list, but it really doesn't matter. The Pete Incaviglia Rule, which yes, is a real thing, was created to prevent recently drafted players from being traded immediately after being signed. If that doesn't scream mediocrity, I just don't know what does anymore.
Incaviglia hit .246 lifetime but actually turned in some decent power numbers in the early stages of his career – five straight 20 home run seasons, starting as a rookie. In all but one of those years, as well, he had 80-plus RBIs. He was connected to steroids a decade after his retirement, which may explain those outlying statistics.
Either way, juiced up or not, he has a rule named after him. That's plenty for me.
2. David Bell, IF
Although his career didn't really get going until the late 1990s and early 2000s, Bell epitomizes mediocrity of this era. He didn't hit for average, power, or anything really. He played for seven different teams in 12 years, finishing his career with a less than stellar .257 average and 123 home runs. He never had more than 80 RBIs in a single season and hit more than 15 long balls just three times. His finest year came in 2004, when Bell hit .291 with 18 home runs and 77 RBIs with the Phillies.
1. Desi Relaford, SS, 2B
Another guy who didn't really establish his mediocrity until the early 2000s, Relaford was known much more for his defense than his bat. In true average fashion, he played every position except catcher and first base during his 11-year career, which saw him play for seven different teams. He even pitched an inning for the Mets, topping 90 mph and retiring the side 1-2-3.
At the plate, however, it was a different story. Relaford hit .243 in his career, never eclipsing 10 home runs or 60 RBIs. And right when we thought Relaford couldn't get any more awesome, he founded a hip-hop label in Jacksonville after he retired.

The 2013 International Society of Political Psychology Summer Academy (ISPP-SA) will take place on July 4th- 7th at the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy, IDC- Herzliya, four days prior to the ISPP Annual Meeting. The central objective of the Summer Academy is to offer high quality training to interested faculty and students from Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and other relevant disciplines, who are likely to teach political psychology and/or conduct political psychology research in the future.
Every year the Summer Academy hosts a number of foundational and cutting edge research-led courses in a selection of specialization areas of Political Psychology. The 2013 program offers a fascinating opportunity to fellows to engage with prominent scholars in the field and acquire further training. This year we are hosting six thematic courses offered by Bettina Davou (Course Title: Political action, motivation and the socio- political context of felt emotions), Catarina Kinnvall (Course Title: Multiculturalism, Conflict and Integration), Richard R. Lau (Course Title: Studying Political Decision Making), Paul Nesbitt-Larking (Course Title: Multicultural Identities and Citizenship), David O. Sears (Course Title: Intergroup politics: The tension between general psychological theories and specific historical contexts), Jim Sidanius (Course Title: Theory of Gendered Prejudice), and an introductory course in political psychology by Leonie Huddy and Stanley Feldman (Course Title: Introduction to Political Psychology). While the six thematic courses cover theoretical and methodological advancements in the instructors' specific areas of research, the introductory session provides a survey of the field focusing on specific theoretical and methodological approaches.
In addition to attending courses, successful applicants will have the opportunity to participate in a number of activities aiming to enhance their understanding of the taught material and promote the application of core principles from the field of Political Psychology in their own research. In particular, fellows will have the opportunity to engage with the instructors in breakout group discussions where they will develop new research projects and ideas. Fellows and instructors are also going to participate in a research exhibition, where they will engage in informal conversations and presentations about their own research, with the aim to build future research collaborations.

Freddy Mercury would have been 65 yrs. old 2day!RIP,darling.When I was 19,he told me I should sing.Long story but I will never forget.xo
I actually wrote the lyrics to Mother of Rock n Roll one day when I was walking around New York and I was listening to the Stones song Shes My Little Rock n Roll. I thought, Im the mother of rock n roll, meaning my daughter, Liv. Then it hit me and I thought, Oh my God, wait a minute, maybe I really am the mother of rock n roll. It was that typical egoistical thing that all of us lead singers have. Who else is going to have the balls to say that, let alone get up there and delivery it? I couldnt come up with anybody else, so Im it.... I have a very big young girl following, which Ive acquired from being Livs mother. To be honest, I like being the mother of Liv Tyler. I am so proud of her....Jeb: Everyone brings up the fact that youre Liv Tylers mother
Bebe: Im proud of my daughter. It is wonderful to know that you did a good job of being a mother. I turned out this beautiful girl. It was imperfect, and I had to get help from my family, but it turned out well.Jeb: It must have been hard to keep from her that Steven was her father.Bebe: Its not that hard if theyre in bad shape. Steven was in no condition to be a father. He is one of my favorite people and I really consider him one of my best friends you know, I think I can even out run him on stage [laughter]. In fact, at this point, I know I could.To get back to your question, it wasnt that hard because he was in such bad shape. When he finally did meet her, it was in 1986, when she was nine years old. He had just been put into rehab and had only been a couple of weeks sober. He was not meeting her as that creepy guy he had been.He had seen many pictures of her during the lost years and we kept in touch. I pushed away from him after a while because his drug use was very frightening. It was at a level to where it got really ugly and guttery; it wasnt pretty. Nobody wanted to watch it.It was only hard when Liv got to be a little older and I was going to have to come clean. I wondered when it would happen. I wasnt quite sure if I should wait until she was eighteen. I didnt want to disrespect Todd. I was trying to hold it altogether but then I went, You know what, the most important person here is Liv. The grown ups can all get together and deal with it. Then, she solved all of that one night. Steven called up and said, Ill send a car for you and you all can come to the gig. It was August of 1988. Guns n Roses were opening for Aerosmith. I brought Liv along and she met Mia, who is 18 months younger than she is. They look like bookends. It was one of those moments where the children figured it out. Liv flat out asked me, Is he my dad. What am I supposed to do? It wasnt like I signed any kind of agreement with anybody. I just had to follow my heart, and my heart said I had to be honest....Jeb: You managed her career. Your knowledge of the good, the bad and the ugly of the entertainment business had to be a huge gift to her.Bebe: She was only 14 or 15 when all of this hubbub started up and I wasnt going to let any of those barracudas around her. I wanted to spare her that and I wanted her to become savvy. Now, you can put her right in the tank with those people. She knows exactly what shes doing as she is smart and very poised. She wants a long career and the way shes handling things is perfect. It was a good thing that I was there in the beginning as I think that she has achieved something that a lot of other kids with rock n roll parents have not achieved.Jeb: She has been able to achieve success in the industry where a lot of them become victims to the industry.Bebe: There is a lot of talent in these kids -- Im not going to start mentioning names because Ive known half of them since they were born. Some of them have parents that really dont let them suffer at all, or learn how to stand on their own two feet. Most of these kids grow up really rich. Liv and I had some really lean years. There were times that Todd didnt have the money to pay any child support, even though he willingly wanted too. I was working three jobs and I was touring with bands. She knows what its like and she has work ethic. She knows what its like to work hard, struggle and to get things because she worked for it. I think she is different in that aspect and I think it has helped her.

It takes 14 hours to fly non-stop from New York's JFK International Airport to Japan's Narita Airport outside Tokyo—time enough to knock off two movies, a crime novel and three in-flight meals served complete with hot towels and green tea.
The flight was virtually turbulence free, and for all practical purposes so was WorldSteel 44, which drew some 300 participants from 134 companies and organizations in 34 countries.
Over the course of two days in October, some 25 presenters moved seamlessly through a program structured around the theme "Building a Sustainable Recovery." Topics explored on stage at the Hotel Okura and in two early morning press briefings ranged from a much-anticipated short-range outlook for steel demand delivered by Daniel Novegil, the World Steel Association's economics committee chairman and Ternium SA chief executive officer, to other, more-prosaic subjects such as seismic design in the steel industry, automotive and new-generation vehicles and energy efficiency and new technology trends.
Hastily revised at a meeting held a month earlier in Rio de Janeiro, WorldSteel's short-range outlook counted as what might be described as a rising sun against an otherwise lunar-like landscape marked by gray uncertainty and a nagging concern over the potential of a double dip in the global economy. More dawn than dusk, the forecast emerged as the most upbeat among a number of assessments delivered during the Tokyo conference by various executives and officials from the host country and a panel of steel industry chief executives drawn from around the world.
Big picture, the short-range outlook is for a stronger-than-expected recovery in 2010, led by China and developing economies. "Steel demand in 2011 is expected to grow at healthy rates, with a slowdown in China and continuous growth in developing countries," the concluding slide stated. "Steel demand in developed countries to remain below pre-crisis levels in the short term."
Novegil and his colleagues on the economics committee hedged their forecast both upside and downside by identifying various risks/factors that could influence the course that world and regional economies take in 2011. "Ifs" that would move the 2011 economic outlook for steel deeper into positive territory include a higher steel intensity in China, investment coming from excess corporate cash and stronger recovery in developed economies. Potential counterweights in the form of downside risks range from the early withdrawal of stimulus packages and excessive budget tightening to conflict over exchange rates and excessive household, government and company financial leverage.
For all their gravity and implied consequences on the global economic stage, those three factors and four risks fall far beyond the purview and abilities of the world steel industry to control. On a less-cosmic scale, the industry faces collective challenges in arenas where it does have the wherewithal to make a difference.
Perhaps no one is in a more strategic position to assess those challenges than Ian Christmas, director-general of WorldSteel, who intends to leave that post next August after spending a dozen years with the organization.
In the closing minutes of what amounted to a farewell address, Christmas confronted the powers-that-be in the global steel industry with a list of five key challenges, the first of which is safety. "There is nothing inherent in the production of steel which requires anyone to be injured or killed in the workplace," he said.
"The second challenge is business profitability, which requires moving away from a tonnage mentality to an even sharper focus on value," Christmas said. "There is also a great risk of steel companies being caught between strong customers."
The third challenge increase R&D expenditures. "This should include research within the industry, but also a greater spend and collaboration with universities worldwide," Christmas said.
Challenge number four create a level playing field for competition around the world. "There are still too many subsidies and state aid used in the industry, which distort competition, and there are too many artificial barriers to competition internationally," he said.
"Lastly, there is climate change, which requires all steel users to step up to the challenge and ensure that we are seen as part of the solution and not the problem in moving man towards a greener future."
WorldSteel 45 is scheduled to take place in Paris next October. If all goes according to plan, the association will have a new director-general. If history holds true, the challenges will remain.

How are we coming on availability?
I had hoped to finish them over the last weekend as I worked out both days for working on them. The storm came through and left with my power, so that plan "washed" out I hope to finish them this weekend, but I can't set aside the days for sure yet. I'd settle for one though to get closer. I'll keep you posted.
We would pay big bucks for just a couple of drops of rain down here. Like living in a ash tray. Don't worry about all them other fellers......just work on mine
I appreciate the info Mike.....Harbor Freight has them lil generators on sale for $69.00 bucks
The problem is not producing one, but the entire batch has to be done so I can send them to be Oxide coated. I/we can't afford to send them one at the time. I have a few finished, but not enough to offset the cost of coating. I need to have at least 50 done, preferably 100 so I can afford to sell them for what I do.
Oh hell I understand...I was just playing with you man....
Can I buy them raw? I am going to put my own finish on them anyway.

Covered Baking Revealed
I didn't want to hijack the other question where BROTKUNST suggested a turkey roaster cover so I thought I would start another thread.
I have been experimenting with various ways to cover the dough during baking for many Months. I have learned a lot about the effects of enclosing an area above the bread. The first thing that caught my attention was the clay cooker known as a Le Cloche. If you want a sure fire way to bake the NYT no knead recipe with out risking an expensive french pot then this is the answer. As often as not I just use the Bell top on top of the stone but it works without preheating a stone by simply placing the cloche bottom/top on the rack.
Next I tried the steam maker bread baker cover and steam generator. Yes it was expensive and yes it does work great. It is a little small and restricts the size to much for my style of baking but the addition of hot steam in an enclosed area was an eye opener. I can get beautiful baggett's just like I enjoyed in France and just as tasty. The flavor I later learned has little to do with the cover and everything to do with dough handling and fermenting. The special stainless cover has a hole in the cover where you blast steam into the interior and bake covered for 10-14 minutes depending on your desired crust. Again, the main thing to remember is that the stainless cover works. It's less important that the steam helps improve the crust. The dough creates some steam as it hits the hot stone or baking sheet as it warms up.
Then I met Susan of San Diego and her Magic Bowl. Susan bakes smallish Boules under a 4 liter clear glass bowl that are amazing! The interesting thing is that you can open the door briefly and check the progress of the oven spring and color of the dough. As she points out, the spring is still developing until the dough starts to get color or early browning. At that point she slides a spatula under the bowl and carefully removes the bowl to continue baking open. BROTKUNST at this point has demonstrated that a small object placed in the oven door will help release the steam and create a crispier crust. Even if you only try the bowl a few times, try it to get the feel for how your basic dough springs and how long it takes to get the skin set. Plus it's fun to see the dough spring as you peek.
Various other pots and pans you might have around the kitchen will work to cover the bread for the first 10-14 minutes. Measure your average free form loaf and make sure you use something that will allow for at least that much rise. I find that the cover helps improve the spring by about 20%. So a 5 inch rise uncovered might rise to 6 inches covered. The inexpensive Turkey roaster is a good thing to use because it has a handle built in the cover. You do need to ALWAYS use an oven mitt to protect your hand from the broiler coils. Some ovens use the upper heat elements during baking to provide a more even heat supply so this is worth understanding for safety. What ever you use I have found that the easier it is to place and remove the cover, the better I like it. All of my oven mitts have burn marks on the tops!
One other thing worth noting. I tried spraying water on the parchment paper around the dough before placing the dough on the baking sheet and the bowl on the dough. The additional water on the paper quickly turns to steam and I believe improves the crust somewhat. Be sure if you use a steel pan to bake on that it doesn't warp and "oil can" under heat. If it does warp out of flat, you won't get a good seal with any cover. I use a double layer "Insulated cookie sheet" that has a little raised fold up in the back that doesn't warp or a stone.
I hope this helps those looking for ideas and alternatives to creating a professional bakers steam oven. Using a cover will eliminate the need to toss water into the oven and usually produce better results if you are baking one loaf at a time.

Novus 2014 Food Drive Offers Local Children Freedom from Summer Hunger
Employee Generosity Doubles Goal of Donating 30,000 Pounds of Food to the St. Louis Area Foodbank
ST. LOUIS, MO. (June 27, 2014) —Today, Novus International honored the generosity of their employees by matching donations to the St. Louis Area Foodbank.
The company's matching funds bring the 2014 Food and Funds Drive total to $15,000.
The theme of this year's food drive, "Freedom from Summer Hunger," focused on helping children who struggle with hunger during the summer months when they don't have access to subsidized school meals.
Frank Finnegan, president and CEO of the St. Louis Area Foodbank, accepted the donation from Novus's David Friedman at the Novus corporate headquarters today.
"It is the ongoing support of community institutions like Novus International that allows us to continue our work in the fight against hunger," Finnegan said. "The generosity of Novus employees and management has been demonstrated year after year. Thanks to them, we will be able to provide an additional 60,000 meals to families in need in the bi-state region."
One in six Americans lives in a household that cannot afford adequate food. Food insecurity affects 50 million people in United States, including 17 million children.
Missouri ranks 45th in the ratio of summer meals to school year meals, with eight children fed in the summer for every 100 who qualify during the school year. The 2014 Novus Food Drive Committee set a goal to collect 30,000 pounds of food from May 27 to June 13. Thanks to the generosity of Novus' employees and the company's matching funds, more than 60,000 meals can be provided to local families through the St. Louis Area Foodbank.
Novus employees rose to the challenge and were motivated through employee engagement rewards, such as weekly giveaways and an ice cream social for the winning team.
Patrick Delhougne of the St. Louis Area Foodbank spoke with employees about the mission of the food drive in the final days for giving.
Samson Li, vice president of global sales and marketing, even participated in the SNAP challenge and blogged about his experience to help employees put hunger into perspective on a daily basis. His experiences were chronicled on the Novus blog to share the mission with all stakeholders.
"We're proud to support the St. Louis Area Foodbank," said David Friedman, chief financial officer at Novus. "With a corporate vision to help feed the world affordable, wholesome food and achieve a higher quality of life, we recognize that it begins right here at home. We are delighted to be able to help families in the St. Louis area."

The driver of this Corvette was allegedly intoxicated, swerving across the road and speeding up to 150 MPH before crashing into an Infiniti G35 and tumbling deep into California's Boisa Chica Wetlands.
Both the driver of the speeding Corvette, erroneously identified as a ZR1 by the local Orange County paper, and the driver of the G35 ended up in the drink after 52-year-old Melvin Brown tried to force his sports car into the back of the sedan. The Infiniti only nosed into the wetlands but the 'Vette slipped all the way under water and Brown, who has been charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence, had to be rescued by a passing motorist.
This is the second accident with a Corvette in Orange County in less than the week though, unlike the other one, this accident wasn't fatal.
Now we know why they all drive Prii there, it turns out they can't handle the V8 power.

Romney moves to reframe debate on abortion, autos
KETTERING, Ohio (AP) -- In ads, his own remarks and most recently the words of a top supporter, Republican Mitt Romney seems determined to soften emphasis on abortion and ignore facts critical to the auto industry as he seeks support from key voting groups in the waning days of a close race for the White House.
Even some Republicans as well as Chrysler itself say Romney's campaign went too far with recent TV and radio ads that claim the No. 3 automaker is adding jobs in China at the expense of workers in Ohio.
"Under President Obama, GM cut 15,000 American jobs, but they are planning to double the number of cars built in China which means 15,000 more jobs for China," said a radio ad running in Toledo and Dayton, where thousands of people rely on the auto industry for jobs.
"And now comes word that Chrysler is starting to build cars in, you guessed it, China."
Chrysler moved quickly to rebut the notion that it is moving U.S. jobs overseas.
"Chrysler Group's production plans for the Jeep brand have become the focus of public debate," CEO Sergio Marchionne wrote in an email sent to employees Tuesday. "I feel obliged to unambiguously restate our position: Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China."
Romney's campaign declined to comment.
The ads mark Romney's latest attempt to reframe the debate on an issue that has plagued him from the beginning of his candidacy in Ohio, a crucial battleground state that has deep roots in the auto industry. He has long opposed the auto bailout that Obama's administration facilitated in the early days of the administration, saying he would not have permitted the government to loan General Motors and Chrysler federal funds to help them through a managed bankruptcy.
Several Republican strategists said the Romney campaign probably went too far by airing a TV ad in Ohio that suggests Jeep will move some operations out the state.
"It's the kind of thing that happens late in the campaign, when everybody's tired and you're not quite yourself," said veteran GOP strategist Mike McKenna of Richmond, Va. "It didn't help."
He added, "But I don't think it's a big thing. At this point, everybody has made up their mind."
Democrats have taken notice -- and exception -- to Romney's recent maneuvering.
Campaigning for Obama in Youngstown on Monday, former President Bill Clinton said Jeep has called Romney's claim "the biggest load of bull in the world." Vice President Joe Biden, added it was "bizarre."
Romney's approach to abortion is more a matter of a change in tone, although one campaign surrogate, former Sen. Norm Coleman, recently assured an audience that the Supreme Court's 1973 opinion legalizing abortion is unlikely to be overturned if the Republican challenger wins the election.
Appearing in Beechwood, Ohio, on Monday, the former Minnesota senator suggested that abortion shouldn't be a paramount issue. "You've got to decide what's important right now, what's going to impact you right now," Coleman said in suburban Columbus where Romney is working to woo suburban women voters, many of whom support abortion rights.
"President Bush was president for eight years, Roe v. Wade wasn't reversed." He had two Supreme Court picks, Roe v. Wade wasn't reversed. It's not going to be reversed," Coleman said.
In an interview on Tuesday, Coleman told The Associated Press he had been speaking on his own behalf, and not for Romney.
He said he meant that the decision is longstanding precedent, and that Republicans would fight over issues like parental notification and partial birth abortion rather than Roe v Wade itself.
Romney himself has repeatedly said that he would like to see Roe v. Wade overturned, and promised to look for Supreme Court appointees who have opposed abortion rights.
He drew attention earlier this fall when he said Iowa that laws restricting access to abortion would not be a priority if he wins the White House. Under pressure from some conservatives, he reaffirmed his opposition to abortion in most cases the next day.The court has split 5-4 in recent years on some abortion-related cases. With several justices in their 70s, the next president may well have the opportunity to name one or more replacements.
Associated Press writer Charles Babington in Washington contributed to this report.

This is a really hard question for me to answer. I guess it would have to be to help others deal with disabilities. Help them cope with the sudden change in their life
Your Funeral Planner series sounds so intriguing! I love how you came up with the characters in your book!
Bucket List:
(Professionally) Known as full-time author.
(Personally) Take a cooking class in Italy. Read a book on a tropical island. Travel the world with my kids and husband. See the pyramids in Egypt, the temples of Eastern religions, the ruins in Greece…Oh, my. I just realized my Bucket List really is a long one! I better get cracking! And win the lottery. It sounds expensive 🙂
I really love your idea of the goal-setting obituary. So clever!
A goal setting obit? Definitely ghoulish but also brilliant! I loved teachers like you, Rolynn.
I never considered a bucket list until I became a survivor. Now it's too long to list. So, my bucket item is to achieve everything on my bucket list. 😉
Good morning everyone. My computer isn't cooperating this a.m., but glad to see all of you here! This is my second try… Cooking school in Italy? Sarah, you lucky woman. Niecey, go for it! I'm set up for a bucket list trip to the Grand Canyon-never been.! Greece. The Adriatic. Spain. Yes! Professionally, the number 100,000 sticks in my mind. Surely I could sell that many books. Dream big, they say! Thanks for the compliments on SWOON! Keep those bucket lists coming! Rolynn
Would love to go to England for a month long vacation. I also want to take my kids to Disneyland just once.
I like the story line. I'll have to get a copy. I enjoyed the tease. My bucket list: trip to Eruope.
Hi Rolynn,
I wish I had teachers who were so creative as to assign writing your own obit. Most of mine just read information out of a book and expected you to take notes.
The most important thing on my bucket list is to take my mom to Switzerland. She's always wanted to go, but raising 5 kids as a single parent when those were rare, didn't leave money for vacations. She's going to be 77 this year so I better start saving faster. Thankfully, she's in excellent health.
I've said it before and I'll say it again (smile). I love that dog! For my bucket list — the Philadelphia Phillies win another World Series.
visiting Australia
I love DDL in Last of the Mohicans.
And I love a good suspense story.
Bucket List includes a cruise to Alaska.
I only have 2 things on my Bucket List: To swim with the dolphins and to visit Bora Bora and stay in a grass hut in the ocean. If I can combine the two, even better.
Wishing you stellar sales…

Who are they?
Self-motivated, efficient, resourceful, active and courageous, these are powerful personalities and tend to be good at managing and directing. They need to shine, want to impress and love attracting attention to themselves. They are original and can be rather haughty (they are often influenced by the sign of Leo). Aderyn and Feng-Po-Po scorn all that is ordinary and are not made for subordinate roles. Bad losers, failure can make them resentful and bitter. Luckily, they know exactly how to grab hold of the opportunities that life offers them and they do so swiftly and decisively. Status-conscious, they appreciate jewellery, expensive clothes and accessories. Impatient, and usually in a hurry, they tend to be irritable and lacking in tolerance. As little girls, they can be uncontrollable, precarious and temperamental. They can be oppressive and exclusive and have difficulty sharing with their brothers and sisters, such is their need for privacy.
What do they like?
Material girls they may be, however paradoxically they are also drawn to the spiritual dimension. They appreciate moments of solitude, peace and quiet, which they can spend far away in thought, meditating or cultivating their minds. They are fascinated by the strange, the supernatural and the esoteric, (especially if they are born on the 7th, 16th or 25th of the month, anytime in July or if their life Path Number is 7) which is very pertinent to Feng-Po-Po and Feng-Po-Po whose karmic numbers are 7 and 8. In matters of the heart, with Aderyn and Feng-Po-Po, you´ll seldom catch them blushing or flushing, and they will never expose their deepest feelings. They are particularly mysterious and quite out of reach. In a potential partner they look for a similarity of interests and values above all else, and are extremely selective when it comes to choosing their lovers and friends. Intuitive, they make fine amateur psychologists, and even if these females know their partner better than he knows himself, they themselves remain as enigmatic as ever...

What do they do?
Taking on the roles of wife and mother being far from number one on their list of priorities Aderyn and Feng-Po-Po intend first and foremost to succeed in their personal and professional lives. They could be drawn to one of the liberal professions, in the fields of finance or assessment, the technical specialities or administration, in connection with precious stones, silver or gold. A career involving fashion or luxury, or better still - both, is desirable.
