The Washington Post reports that Hillary Clinton "likely" will pull out of the presidential race on Saturday, at which time she will endorse Barack Obama. The Post also reports that Clinton has launched an aggressive campaign to persuade Obama to select her as his running mate.
It's easy to believe that Clinton would like to be on the ticket. She's been campaigning like a fiend for a year and a half, and presumably does not want all that work to be for naught. Moreover, having essentially run a dead-heat with Obama, losing more as the result of quirks in the system than comparative lack of popularity, she reasonably believes she deserves no worse than the "second prize." Unless she's confident that Obama will lose (and such confidence would probably be misplaced), it makes plenty of sense for Clinton to seek that prize.
From Obama's point of view, the calculus is less clear-cut. Clinton certainly meets the basic test for vice president — she's qualified for the presidency and she bring something to the ticket in terms of electoral politics. Specifically, she brings liberal white women, many of whom are telling pollsters they don't intend to vote for Obama (the extent to which they actually won't vote for him is unclear).
On the other hand, Clinton is not the only potential choice who brings something to the ticket. The governors of Ohio and Pennsylvania might help him carry their key state. A female governor would help him with liberal women, though questions arise as to whether some of these potential running mates are qualified for the presidency. Jim Webb or Mark Warner might help Clinton carry Virginia while simultaneously appealing to centrist voters, and so on.
Moreover, these and other alternatives don't carry the baggage Clinton does. Thus, they don't risk alienating voters. Clinton does; specifically male independents and centrists. While her electoral plusses outweigh, I think, her electoral minuses, the minuses probably make her less than a compelling choice.
And if Clinton is not a compelling choice, the odds that Obama will select her are probably not great. It's hard to imagine that Obama would enjoy the prospect of a Clinton vice presidency. (Bill Clinton's old "two for the price of one" comment comes to mind). So if he sees attractive alternatives and believes he can win without Hillary, he's likely to look elsewhere.
Clinton's only way to make herself "compelling" may be to threaten to support Obama only in a token manner if she is excluded. My guess, though, is that Obama (who is running ahead or even with McCain in the polls) will conclude he can win with no more than token support from Clinton. Some have suggested that Obama will resist attempts by Clinton to strong arm her way onto the ticket for fear of seeming weak to voters. More likely, Obama will resist such attempts for fear of seeming weak to himself, or simply out of resentment over the undertaking.
UPDATE: Robert Novak cites a poll that shows McCain leading Obama by more than 10 percentage points among women. This result seems like an outlier — if McCain held this sort of lead among women, he wouldn't be running neck-and-neck or behind Obama overall in most polls. However, if Obama's own polling shows him doing this poorly with female voters, that might well affect his thinking when it comes to placing Clinton on the ticket.

Sevenson Environmental Services of Niagara Falls has completed a lead remediation project to excavate and remove lead and arsenic contaminated soil from the yards of houses and commercial properties in the Newhall Street neighborhood in Hamden, Conn. Sevenson excavated to a depth of four feet, removing more than 8,700 truckloads (131,700 cubic yards) of toxic fill, backfilled with clean soil, and restored features disrupted during excavation.
Contaminated fill had been placed in the then low-lying area beginning in the 19th century and continuing into the mid-20th century. The fill material included municipal and industrial wastes containing heavy metals, primarily lead and arsenic, and PAHs, a semi-volatile organic compound often associated with wood and coal ash.
The project spanned a 15-block area, covering about 250 residential properties, the largest project of its kind ever undertaken in Connecticut.
"This was a success in every way possible," said Ray Frigon of the Remediation Division of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. "Sevenson's team conducted this project with an incredibly high regard for safety of site workers and the public. The number of safe worker hours achieved on this project was particularly impressive, especially in light of the project setting - in the middle of an active residential community."
The cleanup began in the late summer 2010, with 80 workers, and was completed ahead of schedule and well under the anticipated budget.
"This project is representative of the cleanup work Sevenson has done in residential neighborhoods dating as far back as work in the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls in the 1980s," said Sevenson Environmental CEO Michael E. Elia. "The extensive and broad experience of our management and crews working in neighborhoods with residents present was a key reason for the success of this project."
Work also focused on residents' yards, patios, driveways, sidewalks and landscaping, replacing 80 structures, planting 4,700 shrubs, plants and trees, installing 210,700 square feet (almost four football fields) of driveways and parking areas, and 20,350 lineal feet (3.8 miles) of sidewalks.

Michael Laudrup has revealed that in-demand striker Danny Graham will remain a Swansea City player until after their Capital One Cup semi-final second leg against Chelsea on Wednesday.
Swansea are 1/1 with Bet365 to win the Capital One Cup
However, Laudrup has denied that a move is imminent with the club taking on Chelsea for a place in the Capital One Cup final on Wednesday.
"No movements [on the Graham transfer]," Laudrup told reporters. "We have more important things to do in the next 24-30 hours than look at the transfer window."
Meanwhile, fans' favourite Graham has been urged to stay at the club by central defender Ashley Williams who, after Swansea's 3-1 victory over Stoke at the weekend, told reporters the striker has the support and confidence of the entire dressing room.
"We've just been saying to him two minutes ago in the changing room that we want him to stay, saying 'don't go'," said Williams.
"We all want him to stay, he is a top player and has done well here. We definitely don't want to see him leave and I think if you asked any player here they would stay the same thing.
"We want him here. He is going to make the decision on whether he stays or goes," the defender continued.
"He has to make the right decision for himself and his family and his situation.
"Obviously we are telling him we want him to stay, but it is his decision whether he stays or goes and we will back him whatever he chooses."

I would like the Steelers to trade up in the secound and third or maybe trade to get 2 secound rounders. My ideal draft for the Steelers first 3 rounds would go........
1. Posluszny OLB(I love this guy. Hes got the vision of an all pro LB) * Note Leon Hall could be there at pick 15 and we could get a Quincy Black in late 2nd early 3rd , but I feel Posluszny has more value*
2.Anthony Gonzalez WR (Even though we got Holmes last year Gonzalez is going to be a monster. Even if he dosent get much playing time he can still step right into special teams and make an impact.)
2 or 3. Daymeion Hughes CB (Like Posluszny this guy has great vision even though he dosent have elite speed Tomlin is a cover 2 type of guy. That make Hughes a perfect fit. We might have to trade a couple picks to move up in the 2nd or he might fall to early 3rd, but this guy plays like a top 15 pick on film.)
I also like Anthony Spencer, but he wont fall past the 1st round. Also Tony Hunt could be a nice pick up in the secound insted of Gonzalez.
Steelers have the ball in their court this year with 9 picks hopfully we will wheel and deal and make the most out of this draft as we can. These are my guys i would love to see become Steelers this year, but the thing with the NFL is you never know whats going to happen.

My favorite part was when Peter thought the clue was Buddha because it is so funny. I like this book because at the bottom they ask questions. It was funny when Meg showed Peter a spider and Peter was so afraid. He was even scared of spiders more then Meg. This story reminds me of my neighbor because we play mystery. I felt like I was solving the mystery as I was reading this book, because there were questions on the bottom of the pages.
I would recommend this book for Grades 2 and 1, because it might be just right for them and also for children who like solving crimes.

Are we there yet - Three booms and that's it
Yes we've lost an iconic landmark, a reminder that men once grafted, not too long ago, underground in East Kent, to provide fuel for Richborough, tossed aside and dumped by a conservative goverment along with thousands in the coal industry.
The towers a loss for most of us, the knowledge, that once sighted, we're a few minutes from a cuppa, meal and relaxing in our favourite chair bathed in the glow of a warm telly.
I've got this weekend off and frankly couldn't motivate myself to see the towers come down, still, thankfully thanks to twitter the blogosphere we are able to experience the event second hand, still I did hear three rumble booming type noises from the breakfast room of Flaig Mansions.
The United Kindom has embarked on a long journey into decline, this week I heard that Brazil has replaced us as the 6th largest economy, much of the British economy is dependent on well dressed spivs and crooks in the banking and financial sector, the cooling towers now gone, were a monument to time, when we British, got our hands dirty with proper graft, China now I believe the worlds second biggest economy, has got there, by people creating wealth in manufacturing and productive industry, a lesson worth learning before India (who we give money to) overtakes us.
As I mentioned these days we all contribute to news looking around I found these two excellent video s from Edd Withers and Kent Online Video News of this event.

This Week In Island History
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
From the Newport Journal, April 26, 1912
The final debate of the Fire Department members for the winter was held in the Town Hall Monday evening. The number of speakers was small, but the audience was the largest of the series, a good percentage being women. The question, "Resolved, that women should have the right to vote," was won by the affirmative.
The members of the Bayside Club entertained their wives at a turkey supper at the Gardner House Thursday evening, the tables being set in the smaller dining room. After the supper, the party adjourned to the dancing hall where they were joined by about 75 young friends of the members, and dancing was held until midnight.
The first shipment of lobsters by the local fishermen was made Saturday.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, April 24, 1937
The tent caterpillar egg mass eradication campaign closed at noon Friday at the Thomas H. Clarke School and money prizes supplied by the garden club were distributed. About 3,150 egg masses were collected and destroyed this spring, and 5,100 were destroyed in the campaign last fall.
From the Newport Daily News, April 27, 1937
Federal inspectors today were completing their examina- tion of the crews of the three boats of the Jamestown and Newport Ferry Company to certify them in accordance with new marine laws regarding fitness and ability. To date, all the men examined have passed with flying colors. (There were about 40 employees tested.) From the Newport Daily News,
April 29, 1937
[At the School Committee meeting] graphs were shown, as prepared by the eighth-grade students, showing how the tardiness in the schools has decreased from 550 in 1933 to 225 in 1937. The playground apparatus was given as a reason for the children being on the school grounds before the last bell.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News,
April 21, 1962
The gross revenue of the Jamestown Bridge was up $1,208.95 for the first 19 days of April, as compared to the same period last year. John R. Foley, acting manager, reported that he had approved proofs for three advertisements in the Salt Water Sportsman's Magazine at a cost of $18. From the Newport Daily News,
April 24, 1962
The Jamestown Town Council last night set May 21 as the date for a public hearing to discuss potential uses of Fort Wetherill. From the Newport Daily News,

The council passed a resolution calling on the state to retain the name Jamestown Bridge for the span being built to replace the 45-year-old Jamestown Bridge.
15 years ago
From the Jamestown Press,
April 24, 1997
Talks have begun that will eventually lead to the return of artifacts, now in the library's Sydney L. Wright Museum, to the Narragansett Indian tribe. The museum, dedicated in 1971, currently houses nine display cases of artifacts, most of which were unearthed during a late 1960s excavation of a prehistoric cremation burial site and a mid-17th century Narragansett Indian burial site on the Jamestown School grounds.
Jamestown's third annual TV Turn-Off Week, April 24-30, offi- cially starts today.
10 years ago
From the Jamestown Press,
April 25, 2002
The Town Council Monday continued the public hearing on proposed zoning map changes to its next meeting, May 13, after a little more than two hours of mostly opposition to how the proposal would impact Lot 47, which has become notorious as a possible site for a highway barn.
Island volunteers picked up more than 3,300 pounds of trash Saturday while helping to celebrate Earth Day.

In another life, I would love to become a wildlife biologist; it combines things I loves such as working with animals, walking, observing deeply, and travel. This book does all of the above plus makes you more curious about the flora and fauna around us. Why are robins common and not Kirtland's warblers? Why are deer abundant and not jaguars? Eric Dinerstein, the author, started his scientific career studying tigers and later rhinoceroses. He is now Chief Scientist at the World Wildlife Fund. In The Kingdom of Rarities, he travels to many continents to explore the rare creatures and plants living there.
One of the places he and his scientific team visit is Irian Jaya, a remote island on the Indonesian archipelago. It combines two aspects of places that often give homes to rare creatures: remoteness, and being situated on an island. Another factor that makes Irian Jaya home to rarities is its geology—its steep mountains and gorges serve as barriers to invasive species which have become common on many other islands. The description of Dinerstein's flight to this research spot is compelling; it was incredibly risky just to land a plane there. But well worth it because the scientists found many rare creatures quite close to them and not shy at all with humans. The scientists were amazed by how many species divided their habitats vertically.
The Kirtland's warbler is very rare, but can be found relatively close to us—at least in spring—at a jack pine forest in northern Lower Michigan near Grayling. This beautiful bird has found the harsh sandy soils under these trees a good habitat. And in a trait that is common to many rare creatures, the species is immensely loyal to one particular habitat. That as you might guess can be both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because they are absolutely adapted to the environment, a curse if the environment is being changed by humans and our activities.
Another interesting trip was to rhinoceros country in Africa. As a result of his work, Dinerstein discovered that these large animals not only require a lot of space for browsing but that also need water access quite close so that the animals can cool themselves in summer. Dinerstein is particularly drawn to large rare animals. Here's what he said about them, "The presence of large, potentially dangerous mammals connects us to something deep and primal and teaches us humility in a way that is unique and precious."
Sadly when discussing rare animals, the question of extinction comes up; it too is a focus of Dinerstein's research. Because he says we are at the beginning of a time of massive extinction, he suggests that we humans must develop two things: "a compassionate connection to wildlife and science-based thinking," so we can work from a state of knowledge in trying to save species. On a note of optimism, he applauds three poor countries for doing good work in animal conservation: Nepal, Namibia, and Bhutan. Not only does Dinerstein describe how jaguars, anteaters, one-horned rhinoceroses, and many rare birds live but he speaks philosophically about our connection to these wild, fascinating creatures and what they can add to our lives.
For a book that focuses on one of my favorite animals, try Elephants on the Edge: What Elephants Teach Us about Humanity by G. A. Bradshaw.

By Tom Campbell
Purdue Agriculturefaculty members Larry Murdock and James "Jess" Lowenberg-DeBoer received the highest honor given by the West African nation of Burkina Faso for their work in improving storage of the staple cowpea crops.
The Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Burkina Faso, the equivalent to the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom and rarely given to foreigners, was awarded to Murdock and Lowenberg-DeBoer on Oct. 13. 2012, during the pair's visit to the country. The word "Chevalier" translates to "Knight."
"The high-level honor we received is a direct consequence of the priority that the Burkinabés put on food security," Murdock said. "Jess and I are overwhelmed by the honor. To be thought of in such high regard by the Burkinabé people is truly humbling."
Murdock, a professor of entomology, has been researching pest-management techniques in Africa since 1987. He developed the technology that led to the Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage (PICS) project, a five-year initiative to improve cowpea storage in West and Central Africa. The PICS program is under way in Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Mali, Senegal, Cameroon, Benin, Togo, Chad and Burkina Faso.
Lowenberg-DeBoer, an associate dean of Purdue Agriculture, director of Purdue's International Programs in Agriculture and a faculty member since 1985, has been working to help solve food problems in Africa since 1988.
"The effectiveness of this simple technology continues to amaze me," Murdock said. "It uses ordinary materials manufactured in Africa to almost completely control the insects in stored grain without chemicals."
With the PICS system, farmers place their cowpeas in a polyethylene bag and seal it. That bag is surrounded by another, identical bag and sealed, and the double-bagged crop is held within a third, woven polypropylene bag. The woven bag gives strength to the unit and allows the bag to be handled without bursting the inner polyethylene bags. The inner bags deprive the insects of oxygen and the water insects make with that oxygen. The insects eventually die due to desiccation.
The PICS project, which began in 2007, found that hermetic storage of the cowpea, known in America as the black-eyed pea, was practical and profitable for African farmers and ensured a supply of the nutritious legume for many months after harvest. Without the storage, farmers have to sell their cowpeas immediately after harvest when the price is lowest or treat them with sometimes dangerous and costly insecticides.
PICS has conducted cowpea storage demonstrations in nearly 31,000 West African villages and sold nearly 2 million grain storage bags, which are made throughout West Africa.
"Farmers in these West African nations are eager to buy these bags because they conserve more food for family consumption and help increase farm income," Lowenberg-DeBoer said. "The bags have enabled the Burkinabé to increase their own food security in a nation that has a history of famine and malnutrition."
PICS bag prices vary from country to country but usually are in the range of $2-$3, Murdock said. In Burkina Faso, the bags are retailing in rural areas for $2.20.
"With this small investment, farmers can earn $25-$50 per bag of cowpeas stored," he said. "This is important in a country where, according to the United Nations, 45 percent of the population lives on less than $1 per day."
The project is funded by grants of $12 million by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
While the award honors Murdock and Lowenberg-DeBoer and the program's goal to have 50 percent of cowpeas in West and Central Africa stored using the hermetic method this year, Lowenberg-Deboer said the Burkina Faso government also is honoring a 30-year association with Purdue, starting with Bill Morris of the Department of Agricultural Economics in the mid-1970s.

For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror. -from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15
Just make a batch file that calls for your specifc program. Open notpad and save your file for example as: Startup.bat
In Notepad, write what ever line, to run the program, for example:
Save the file.
Then drag&drop this file to START - ALL PROGRAMS - STARTUP, and now Notepad will start every time you login.
Depending on what you need to start, you may not even need a batch/script file, you could just drag&drop a shortcut from what ever program, directly in to the STARTUP folder.
If this is a DOMAIN wide implementation, use Active Directory Users and Computers, and go to the OU's Group Policy, go to Computer/User Configuration-Windows Settings-Scripts. There you have options for adding scripts for both logons and logoffs.
Batch files are antiquated, and cumbersom. Use a VBScript / WSH combo punch, and you can do just about anything you want at a users logon.
batch files are not cumbersom at all. They are usually very small and run very efficiently. They are great for simple repetative tasks and can be used for complex tasks if one is willing to put in the time and effort needed.

If all you're looking to do is run a program at logon, you can do that through local policy if you want it for all users, or you can just drag a shortcut to the program to the startup group. No need to write any scripts or even use a .bat file if thats all you want to do.

About Us
Our Team
Our History
What We Believe
Our purpose is to improve the overall wellness of family members, including our beloved dogs and cats. We believe optimal health starts within the four walls of your home. We strive to help each and every inhabitant live a fully abundant life.
What is a fully abundant life? It's the delicate balance of nutrition, physical wellness, mental well-being, environmental health and financial goals.
Most people are well-aware that in order to be healthy, they need to eat well and exercise. But we at Life's Abundance believe that nutrition and physical wellness go beyond grabbing an apple a day or logging a quick walk. It's a lifestyle. We want to help you seamlessly make the right choices that can improve your overall health for the long term.
Everyday stresses take their toll on a body. We believe it's possible to not only manage these strains but also to thrive through healthy living. Strong mental health is a wondrous result of good nutrition and physical well-being.
We firmly believe that your body is your temple. But your temple is also your temple! Environmental health is the foundation of a healthy home. Toxins from household cleaners and air fresheners are proven detriments to your physical and mental health. And dogs and cats are not immune to the ill effects of chemical lawn treatments that end up on their paws or harsh chemicals that they might lick off a freshly mopped floor. Life's Abundance wants our families to be mindful of not only what they put in their own bodies but also how they treat those four walls that contain their hearts.
At Life's Abundance, we work hard to make sure the products we offer are a very good value, but making healthy choices can be a strain on the budget. That's why we provide financial opportunities for people to share and recommend our products so they can afford to bring health-promoting products into their lives.
Each of these tenets alone cannot make a person healthy. There needs to be a balance of all five — and Life's Abundance's goal is to help our customers achieve it.

Becker's modeling career first began in June 2004 when she appeared on Page 3 of The Daily Star. Since then, Becker has appeared in publications such as Maxim, FHM, Loaded, Nuts, Max, and Zoo Weekly. In 2005 she was Loaded's Pin Up of the Year and was featured as an FHM Calendar girl in 2006. Becker has also posed for Playboy, as a Playboy UK Cyber Girl. Admittedly, Becker is now 40 years old, and isn't bringing the same level of sexy that she did a decade ago. That shouldn't stop you from enjoying her collection of previous work though. Believe me, it was quite a struggle to find photos where she wasn't completely topless, but we'll let you do your own search for those.

Obama vulnerable in November because of liberal policies
"The one thing that will keep Obama's appeal from translating into widespread support among Republicans is that he is, on almost every issue, a conventional liberal... politics is finally and fundamentally about ideas and philosophy… If he wanted to demonstrate his independence from liberal orthodoxy he could come out in favor of school choice for low-income families, which would both help poor families and demonstrate support for some of the best faith-based institutions in America: urban parochial schools. If Obama becomes the Democratic nominee and fails to take steps such as this, his liberal views will be his greatest vulnerability." READ MORE >

Political Split Between Evangelicals and Their Spokesmen
"Should Obama earn the Democratic nomination, his message of hope and unity will appeal to young evangelicals… The successes of Huckabee and McCain show that evangelicals are open to a broader policy agenda… But their moderate economic policies also strain a delicate if formerly successful platform.

Obama: Is it all about him?
"[According to Michelle Obama,] America's illness goes far beyond a flawed political process: "Barack knows that at some level there's a hole in our souls."

That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.' So we don't have to work to improve our souls. Our broken souls can be fixed — by our voting for Barack Obama."

DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrian President Bashar Assad said his government will allow international experts access to its chemical weapons sites, but cautioned in an interview broadcast Monday that rebels might block them from reaching some of the locations.
In an interview with Chinese state TV, Assad said Damascus is dedicated to implementing a Russia-U.S. agreement to surrender its chemical weapons to international control. According to the accord that was brokered last week in Geneva, inspectors are to be on the ground in Syria by November.
The government, he said, won't have "any problem" taking experts to sites where the weapons are kept but some of the places might be difficult to reach because of ongoing fighting between the Syrian army and rebels battling the regime, whom he called "gunmen."
"I'm referring to places where gunmen exist. Those gunmen might want to stop the experts' arrival," Assad told China's CCTV.
Damascus met a first deadline under a U.S.-Russia agreement aimed at swiftly ridding Syria of its chemical arsenal, submitting last week what was supposedly the full list of its chemical weapons and production facilities to the U.N. agency so they can be secured and destroyed.
While on the ground in Syria, the experts are to complete their initial assessment and all mixing and filling equipment for chemical weapons is to be destroyed. All components of the chemical weapons program are to be removed from the country or destroyed by mid-2014.
In the interview with the Chinese TV filmed Sunday in Damascus, Assad said Syria has already handed over a list of chemical weapons to an international agency. He said his government will ensure that experts arrive "at the places where we produce and store our chemical weapons."
"I don't think we have any problems with that," he said, adding that some experts may find it "difficult to reach those places due to the local security situation."
Technical experts at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said Saturday they were reviewing disclosures from Syria about its chemical weapons program. No details have been released of what is in the Syrian declarations.
U.S. officials said last week that Washington and Moscow agreed that Syria had roughly 1,000 metric tons (1,100 tons) of chemical weapons agents and precursors, including blister agents, such as sulfur and mustard gas and nerve agents like sarin.
The revelations of Syria's chemical weapons arsenal became public after an August attack near Damascus that the U.S. and its Western allies say has contained a nerve agent and killed 1,400 people. Activists groups say the death toll of the Aug. 21 attack in eastern Ghouta that brought Washington to the brink of military intervention in Syria was significantly lower.
In the aftermath of the attack, a U.N. report concluded that sarin had been used.
Meanwhile, an al-Qaida group in Syria said one of its top commanders was killed in an ambush by rival, Western-backed rebels in a northern Syria province.
It was the latest incident in rising infighting among rebel groups in the country's north, where the opposition controls large parts of territory captured from Assad's troops.
The group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant said its commander in Idlib province, Abu Abdullah al-Libi, was ambushed by members of the Free Syrian Army near a border crossing with Turkey.
The attackers sprayed the car with bullets on Sunday, killing al-Libi, which is not a real name but a nom de guerre, according to the group's statement, published on a militant website Sunday.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group that monitors the conflict, confirmed al-Libi's death, saying he was killed along with 12 other al-Qaida fighters near the village of Hazanu, 10 kilometers (six miles) away from the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey.
Syria's civil war has left more than 100,000 dead since the conflict erupted in March 2011 and displaced millions of people.
Surk reported from Beirut.

Winter and fall bring out the hardier recipes such as pies, crisps, tarts and other yummy options usually served warm. Now that summer is right around the corner it's time to break out the s'mores or perhaps you prefer the fruit dessert options. Whatever your dessert is on the menu regardless of what season it is; why not have a couple recipes in your arsenal that are quick and easy?
The fresh fruits of summer always make desserts so much more juicy and delicious, don't you think? One of my personal favorites is chocolate fondue featuring the classic chocolate covered strawberry. Unfortunately I don't always have the time or the energy to melt the chocolate and deal with the clean up so I threw together my own spin on a chocolate covered strawberry with this Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Parfait. Not only is it light and airy, but it's cool and refreshing, making it perfect for those warm summer nights.
Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Parfait Recipe
1 box (3.9 oz.) JELL-O Chocolate Instant Pudding
1 cup milk
1 8 oz. tub of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
15 honey-flavored graham crackers, crushed
8 oz. strawberries, sliced
Mint for garnish
BAKER'S Chocolate for garnish
Prepare pudding as per the directions using 1 cup of milk, set aside. Put a small layer of crushed graham crackers into the bottom of parfait glass followed by a layer of strawberries, pudding and then COOL WHIP. Repeat. Garnish with strawberry slices and sprig of mint.
Store refrigerated. Makes 6 (1 cup) servings.
On its own, chocolate pudding is a wonderful thing. Add strawberries, whipped topping and some garnish, and it becomes this fancy mousse parfait!

Even as China's twin manufacturing surveys dropped to its weakest readings since November, a further sign of a slowdown in its economy, economists do not see major stimulus measures similar to the massive 4-trillion yuan ($629.6 billion) stimulus package it passed in 2008.
While a worsening of Europe's debt crisis could trigger a much more aggressive response from China policymakers, a huge stimulus package will not be necessary because indicators such as fixed-asset investment, housing sales, bank credit and exports have stabilized, suggesting that recent monetary policies such as the cuts in banks' reserve requirement ratios (RRR), are already having an impact.
"In our view, Chinese policymakers recognize that if the euro zone breaks apart, it would not be a short-term development. Therefore, cyclical overreaction would have only limited benefits," Barclays' economists Huang Yiping, Chang Jian and Yang Lingxiu wrote in a report.
Instead, it might be better for China to accept slow growth and continue to focus on rebalancing and restructuring its economic model. "Even if it becomes necessary for the government to do more to support growth, we believe it might launch a large program to train migrant workers, instead of undertaking more infrastructure projects," according to Barclays.
China's official purchasing managers' index (PMI) fell to 50.2 in June from 50.4 in May, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Sunday. Although it was the weakest reading since November, it was higher than the 49.8 reading expected by economists in a Reuters poll last week.
Similarly, HSBC's final June reading for its Purchasing Managers Index, which measures activity in smaller factories in China, was released on Monday and came in at 48.2, compared to a preliminary reading of 48.1 and a final reading of 48.4 in May.
Most of the factories surveyed in this index are in private hands, while the official PMI looks at bigger state-owned manufacturing firms. HSBC's measurement has been contracting for eight straight months, indicating that the private sector does need more government support.
Barclays believes that Chinese authorities are comfortable with the official reading and that they will support growth by investing more in infrastructure projects, easing monetary policy, fine-tuning restrictions on home purchases and reducing taxes while boosting consumption breaks. There will also be one more interest-rate cut in the third quarter, but they will need to wait for more economic data.
China has so far cut RRR for banks' three times since November and slashed interest rates once in June, reversing last year's credit-tightening policy to stimulate economic growth.
Bank Julius Baer's Research Analyst Alan Lam agree that the extent of the policies by Chinese authorities will be "far less than in 2008" after the global financial crisis.
The Beijing central government has drafted rules to make it harder for local authorities to issue bonds, and that is a sign that they don't want to encourage too much fixed-asset investments for the rest of the year, Lam said. They will however continue easing monetary policy to boost liquidity, he added.
"We believe that the chance of People's Bank of China to cut reserve requirement ratio has increased in next month," Lam said. "Current market consensus is looking for two to three more rounds of reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cut (by 50 basis points each) before the end of this year."
ANZ Research is equally bullish, adding that the PMI reading suggests that the manufacturing is continuing to expand, albeit at a "more moderate pace", according to Li-Gang Liu, Chief Economist for Greater China at ANZ Research. He does not believe that a huge stimulus is warranted, instead, more lending is needed to boost the private sector.
Nonetheless, ANZ believes that concerns over a marked slowdown in China have eased with the latest official reading and will pick up in the second half.
"We believe that China's economy has bottomed, and will pick up strongly supported by eased monetary policy and faster implementation of fiscal policy," Liu said. "At this stage, we still believe an RRR cut is more effective than an interest rate cut (to boost the economy), as it injects more liquidity to the banking system, allowing them to lend more to the private sector."

"Amour" director Michael Haneke chose to come to Los Angeles for the Academy Awards this weekend rather than attend the premiere of his new production of Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutte" in Madrid. He chose wisely: "Amour" won the prize for foreign-language film on Sunday, providing the Austrian auteur with his first Oscar statuette.
To the attendees of the opera, Haneke issued a statement via the Teatro Real Madrid, apologizing for his absence at Saturday's premiere.
"If you enjoy [the opera], cross your fingers for me for the Oscars. If you don't, please cross them anyway!," he wrote. The complete English-language translation of his letter is below.
"Amour" was nominated for five Oscars, including best picture, director, actress (Emmanuelle Riva), screenplay and foreign-language film. Its only win was the foreign-language Oscar, it lost in the other categories.
Haneke was in town Saturday for the Independent Spirit Awards, where "Amour" also won the foreign-film prize. He skipped France's Cesar Awards on Friday, where "Amour" swept the major categories, including picture, director, screenplay, actor (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and actress (Riva).
"Cosi" debuted on Saturday in Madrid. Haneke directed the staging, which is a co-production between the Teatro Real and La Monnaie / De Munt in Brussels. The opera is scheduled to run in Madrid through March 17.
You can view scenes from the opera, plus a press conference with Haneke, here.
Haneke's full letter to the opera audience:
Dear attendees to the premiere:
I feel an obligation to express my apologies to you, even if only by means of this simple leaflet.
As some of you may have read in the press, the Oscars ceremony will take place tomorrow, 24th of February, in Los Angeles. I have the honour to have been nominated in five categories, and therefore I cannot miss such an important event for film makers. This is the reason why I had to fly to Los Angeles immediately after the general rehearsal. When we determined the date for the premiere of Così fan tutte, we did not expect these nominations. Therefore I hope I can count on your understanding for not being able to attend the premiere and receive personally your expressions of approval or disapproval.
I wish you an exciting evening!
If you enjoy it, cross your fingers for me for the Oscars. If you don't, please cross them anyway!
Kind regards,
Michael Haneke

PEEKSKILL, N.Y. -- Peekskill firefighter Kevin Bristol was a hero.
Bristol, who passed away from a heart attack on Monday at the age of 48, was memorialized at Assumption Church on Wednesday with firefighters and first responders from throughout the county and New York City coming to pay their respects at the full dress funeral.
Vernon P. Wickrematunge, the parochial vicar at Assumption, asked God to give him strength as he eulogized Bristol.
"Give me the courage to stand and celebrate Kevin's life," Wickrematunge said. "Light is greater than darkness. Hope is greater than despair."
Wickrematunge said Bristol had a belief in the goodness of all people.
"I remember Kevin proudly marching with the fire department on July 4," Wickrematunge said. "I wish I knew more about him. I have learned so much about him since his passing. I have heard so much good about him.
Wickrematunge said he came to celebrate Bristol's life.
"He loved to bring Jesus to people," Wickrematunge said. "He was a bridge between people and God."
Turning to the mourners, Wickrematunge thanked them for all they did to enrich Bristol's life.
"You made his life so happy," Wickrematunge said. "You should know how much you gave to him."
Wickrematunge said Bristol loved being a firefighter and that being a firefighter was who he was.
"He was always where the action was," Wickrematunge said. "It's where he wanted to be. Kevin will always be our friend. He is our hero."
Wickrematunge said we can bury his body, but not his spirit, bury his mind, but not his dreams, bury his hands but not his good works, bury his heart, but not his love.
"We can never bury his love," Wickrematunge said.

Our mouths are an entire wild ecosystem, populated with living things that play a vital role in our well-being and confidence. Getting to know the creatures that live behind your lips will help you manage your
Linda 45 patent leather pumps Gianvito Rossi Geniue Stockist Sale Online Popular Cheap Price Manchester UNPSScxhu
more effectively – plus provide fun facts for you to share when you need to amuse small children or perk up a boring conversation with adults.
Scientists have a fancy name for your mouth's ecosystem – they call it the "human oral microbiome." A big part of the microbiome is bacteria. A single mouth can be home to more than 6 billion bacteria, an impressive number when compared to 7.3 billion total human population of earth.
Those billions of oral bacteria live in diverse communities, where they go about the business of life: being born, working, feeding, defecating, mating, and dying – yes, all this is happening right now in your mouth. And like most urban areas, your mouth has safe neighborhoods and scary ones. Some of the communities are comprised of pathogenic bacteria that cause decay, gum inflammation and tooth loss.
The bad guys are Streptococcus mutans, which feeds on sugar and starchy carbs and then produces acids that erode your tooth enamel. Streptococcus mutans is the main cause of tooth decay and other oral diseases. Porphyromonas gingivalis isn't a regular resident of your mouth, but shows up when gums are diseased (Periodontitis). Left to run amok it will destroy gum tissue and the alveolar bone that supports your teeth.
There are also nice, helpful microbes, too, benign bacteria (probiotics) that can support your overall health as well as oral wellness. Other members of the 700 different strains of bacteria that potentially live in your mouth are neither helpful nor harmful – at least as far as we know.
And then there are your teeth. Just like your mouth's bacteria, your teeth are alive too; they are born, they grow, they (or, to be more specific, the dentin core of your teeth) have nerves and a blood supply. But compared to the activities of the 700 species of bacteria that potentially reside in your mouth, teeth seem to lead very Zen lives. We don't know how they spend their time – at best, they just hang out and meditate quietly - but even if they aren't sentient beings they are undoubtedly alive. And like all living things, if they aren't cared for properly they will get sick, sad, and possibly die.
While about one baby in every 2,500-3,000 is born with a tooth or two, most children begin teething around six months of age. The official name for "baby teeth" is "deciduous teeth," because these first teeth fall out, just like leaves drop from deciduous trees in autumn. Children grow 20 baby teeth – 10 on top, 10 on the bottom. These start falling out around age six, and over the next ten or more years, baby teeth are replaced with adult teeth.
Most adults grow 32 teeth - 8 incisors (the center four teeth on both the upper and lower jaws), 4 canines (the pointy ones on either side of the incisors), 8 premolars (between the incisors and the molars), and 12 molars (including 4 wisdom teeth, these are the bigger flat teeth in the back of your mouth).
Some people don't grow the full set of wisdom teeth – some have only two, or one, or none. Wisdom teeth may not be able to fully erupt through the gum, and may be removed if they are causing pain or other dental issues. Other reasons for having less than the standard number of teeth include extractions for orthodontic treatments – some teeth may need to be removed to shift teeth into the desired new position. Teeth can also be lost to decay, gum disease, injury and medical conditions.
Each tooth is comprised of:
The outer covering of the tooth, and the strongest, hardest and most highly mineralized substance in your body. Enamel is the most visible part of teeth, and is a semi-translucent material that ranges in color from light yellow to grayish white. Enamel is a barrier that protects your teeth from the ravages of acids and plaque. Enamel does not contain any living cells, and cannot regenerate itself, so it's critical to preserve it. Proper oral hygiene – brushing, flossing, regular professional checkups and cleanings – help to keep your enamel from eroding.
: is a layer of living cells that lies underneath the enamel. Dentin is intended to protect the pulp of your teeth, and has a direct hotline to the nerves of teeth. When dentin is exposed due to loss of enamel you experience that sharp, shooting pain associated with cavities or sensitive teeth. Dentin is also what primarily gives your teeth their color.
is the living center of your teeth, filled with blood vessels, connective tissue and nerves. Pulp keeps your teeth nourished and moist. Without pulp, our teeth would resemble dried, bleached bones – just like the turkey wishbone that you leave out for a few days following Thanksgiving to become brittle so you can easily snap it while making a wish.
Teeth are held in place by the Tementum, a layer of connective tissue that grips teeth to the gums and jawbone, and the Periodontal ligament, which helps hold the teeth to the jaw.
You also (hopefully!) have gums, upper and lower jaws, a tongue, salivary glands, an uvula (the dangly ball bit at the back of your mouth), and a frenulum linguae (the tissue under your tongue). All of these structures, except your teeth, are covered by a protective lining called the oral mucosa, similar to the mucous membranes inside your nose and inner ears.
The health of all these structures are directly related to the health of your teeth. Your mouth is a holistic system, and if one part of it is not well, other parts also suffer.
Thankfully, teeth and your entire mouth can typically be kept healthy and happy with minimal effort. Sometimes you do have to work a little harder – pregnancy can cause dental issues, as can medical conditions such as diabetes. Ask your dentist for advice on managing your own personal mouth. In general, though, dentists advise:
Skip or limit your intake of simple carbohydrates (like foods made with white flour, and sugar). Those bacteria that live in your mouth love to snack on sweets and carbs. Carb-fueled bacteria multiply super-fast and cling to each other, creating a "biofilm" that's commonly referred to as plaque. Bacterial plaque is the primary cause of 90% of all dental disease because bacteria secrete acidic waste products. This creates an acidic environment in your mouth that weakens teeth and leads to decay.
You'll also want to limit acidic foods (citrus fruits, vinegary pickles, etc.) and beverages, such as soda, citrus juices, energy and sports drinks and wine. Sugar-laden acidic drinks such as citrus juice and citrus-flavored sodas can cause double the dental damage, so be especially vigilant about how often you indulge in them.
Try to rinse your mouth with water after drinking acidy liquids. Acidic foods and drinks can cause dental erosion, a softening of the enamel on your teeth, which can progress to the dentin, and cause decay. Hold off on brushing for about an hour after eating acidic foods, to avoid damaging enamel.
Here's a little more info about your dental enamel – it is comprised of tiny, tightly-packed rods of minerals. You have about 5 million rods in the lower lateral incisor and up to 12 million in the upper first molar. Brushing your teeth with a side-to-side motion goes against the orientation of the enamel rods in your teeth, which can cause the rods to weaken and break. Instead, position your toothbrush's bristles at a 45-degree angle to the surface of the teeth and brush gently in small circles.
advise brushing for three minutes, with a soft brush. Replace the brush every three months – or sooner if the bristles are worn, bent or frayed. Also, replace your toothbrush if you've just recovered from a cold, the flu or another ailment. Germs like to lurk in your brushes bristles.
You may want to talk to your dentist or dental hygienist about electronic toothbrushes or the newer brushes that use ultrasound to destroy bad bacteria and debris.
Flossing has recently come under fire – there's no scientific proof of its effectiveness. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it is ineffective – it just indicates that no one has spent the money and time necessary to do an in-depth research study on flossing. Logic seems to indicate that flossing is a very effective way to remove food debris from between the teeth.
Dry mouth also puts teeth at increased risk for erosion, as a healthy saliva flow helps protect teeth from exposure to acid. Drink water, and if you're still feeling parched try rinsing your mouth with a product designed for dry mouth care, and chewing sugarless gum.
No matter how devoted you are to at home care, regular exams and professional teeth cleanings are critical. Checkups involve more than a quick peek at your teeth – your dentist will screen you for oral cancer, tooth decay and gum disease. Caught early, these conditions are far easier to manage.
Even people who are super-dedicated to good oral hygiene will inevitably miss a bit of plaque here and there, which can harden into tartar. Removing tartar is not something that you can do at home, without risking the chance that you'll cause more dental damage with abrasive toothpastes, scraping and whatever other weird DIY dentist trick YouTube may be recommending today. Your hygienist will safely clean hardened dental plaque that's impossible to remove at home, and any trapped debris.

SEATTLE (AP) — A Washington state man who killed his grandparents with a shoelace after they threw him a party to welcome him home from prison has entered a modified guilty plea to charges of aggravated first-degree murder.
Michael Chadd Boysen faces life in prison without the possibility of release when he's sentenced Oct. 18. He admitted Friday in King County Superior Court that a jury likely would convict him in the March 9 strangulation deaths of 82-year-old Robert Taylor and 80-year-old Norma Taylor at their Renton home.
Boysen was arrested three days later after a standoff at a Lincoln City, Ore., motel. Boysen served time in prison for attempted burglary. His grandparents picked him up at the Monroe Correctional Complex and held a party for him that night.

Tonsil glands are located in the back of the throat. They contain immune cells which fight infection.
Tonsillectomy is advisable when tonsillitis attacks are so frequent or severe that they affect a child's general health or interfere with school, hearing, or breathing. However, tonsillectomies are thought to be done more often than necessary, so a second opinion should be obtained when there is any doubt.
Specifically, the guidelines for surgery are:
Tonsillectomy is advised if the tonsils are enlarged and obstructing access to the adenoid during an adenoidectomy operation, or the physician suspects the presence of a tonsil tumor.
Under general anesthesia, the ear-nose-throat (ENT) surgeon holds the mouth open and pulls the tongue forward to reveal the tonsils. The tonsils are pulled away from the back of the throat and then removed by being cut away. Bleeding is controlled, and often the cut heals naturally without stitches.
Patients are generally observed in the hospital for between 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Removal of the tonsils is not known to cause any problems later in life.

Ex-Opera director Holender still calling the tunes
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — He's worked as a tram driver and a tennis coach but it was opera that catapulted him onto the world stage.
The longest-serving director of the Vienna State Opera in its almost 150-year history, Ioan Holender still calls the tune on stages around the world.
Obstinate, charismatic and passionate about his craft, the Romanian-born musician is an adviser to the Metropolitan Opera New York and the Spring Festival Tokyo and the artistic director for Bucharest's George Enescu festival. He also has his own television show in Austria, where he now lives.
He'll be 79 in a few weeks but there's no sign of a final bow anytime soon.
Holender, director of the prestigious Wiener Staatsoper from 1992 to 2010, has been accused of being authoritarian at times, yet he leaves a legacy of challenging artistic traditions and was known as an efficient manager.
His diva tenancies were on full display Sunday night as he judged an international operatic singing competition in Bucharest. He refused to pause for his speech to be translated into English, saying he wanted to speak personally to the audience.
"It's not a pleasant job, because all these years . I had to show (people) their boundaries. This doesn't make you liked," he told The Associated Press. "There is no democracy in artistic productions because they're made for the public. The public decides."
Born in 1935 in the western city of Timisoara, Holender, who is Jewish, lived under both fascism and communism. He was forced to leave Romania years after the 1956 democratic uprising in neighboring Hungary because he had fallen foul of Romania's communist regime.
He says he left "to survive, not to pursue a career."
He eventually became an Austrian citizen but never forgot his native land.
"In my heart and soul, I feel Romanian," he said.

Raiders fifth-round draft pick Juron Criner phoned in from Las Vegas to talk about his selection at No. 168. Here is the entire transcript from the conference call with the Bay Area media:
A: "Thank you."
Q: Surprised you lasted until the fifth round?
A: "I wouldn't quite say I had expectations. Like you said, you never know how things are going to turn out. You just got to be patient and just wait until your name is called."
Q: What are your strengths as a receiver?
A: "I would say, my size, my body control. I have a bit of basketball background history, so that definitely helps me with timing jump balls and as a red-zone threat."
Q: Did you follow the Raiders?
A: "I never really had a favorite team growing up. I just watched players that I like. So, it will be great to come out there. Similar weather and things like that. Great players came out of there. Biletnikoff. So, it will be great to go up there and play for an organization like Oakland."
Q: Any talk about converting to tight end?
A: "No, never heard of that one, never wanted to get that big."
Q: How do you fit in with your 40-time?
A: "I would just say that there's a difference between playing on the field and having field speed than straight-line speed. So, I don't feel like I would really having a problem fitting into that category."
Q: How much do you know about the Raiders offense and how you might fit in here?
A: "Not much. You just got to come in ready to learn and just stay open-minded about it and just pick up whatever you can from whoever you can."
Q: Are you familiar with any of the players on the Raiders roster?
A: "Yeah, a couple of the receivers – Haywood, Denarius Moore – a couple of the young guys. They got a couple of young receivers."
Q: Where were you today?
A: "I was just at the house with my family, just watching. Out in Vegas."
Q: Did the Raiders contact you before they selected you?
A: "No. Not until just before the pick. So, I'm very excited to see the phone ring and get the call."
Q: Did the Raiders show any interest in you at the scouting combine?
A: "Yeah, I talked with their scouts a few times but nothing out of the ordinary or nothing anything really extra."
Q: Did you visit the facility in Alameda?
A: "No."
Q: Are you from Las Vegas?
A: "Yes, born and raised."
Q: What high school?
A: "Canyon Valley."
