A strong painkiller such as morphine is given by injection into a vein to ease the pain.
The part of the heart muscle starved of blood does not die immediately. If blood flow is restored within a few hours, much of the heart muscle that would have been damaged and die will survive. This is why a heart attack is a medical emergency and treatment is given urgently. The quicker the blood flow is restored, the better the outlook.
There are two treatments that can restore blood flow back through the blocked artery:Emergency angioplasty An injection of a clot-busting medicine
Both the above treatments usually work well to restore blood flow and greatly improve the outlook. The most crucial factor is the speed at which one or other treatment is given after symptoms have started.

block the action of certain hormones such as adrenaline (epinephrine). These hormones increase the rate and force of the heartbeat. Beta-blocker medicines have some protective effect on the heart muscle and they also help to prevent abnormal heart rhythms from developing. Beta-blocker medicines will also help to prevent another heart attack.
Some people have a raised blood sugar level when they have a heart attack, even if they do not have diabetes. If this occurs then your blood sugar (glucose) levels may need to be controlled with insulin. If you have diabetes then it is also likely that you will need to be treated with insulin to control your blood glucose levels when you are in hospital.
You may be given oxygen which works to reduce the risk of damage to your heart muscle.
Normally you will be advised to take regular medication for the rest of your life. Many people recover well from a heart attack and have no complications. Before discharge from hospital, it is common for a doctor or nurse to advise you how to reduce any risk factors (see above). This advice aims to reduce your risk of a future heart attack as much as possible. Read more about

This often depends on the amount of heart muscle that is damaged. In many cases, only a small part of the heart muscle is damaged and then heals as a small patch of scar tissue. The heart can usually function normally with a small patch of scar tissue. A larger heart attack is more likely to be life-threatening or cause complications.
Even before treatments became available to restore blood flow, many people made a full recovery. With the help of modern treatment, particularly if you are given treatment within a few hours to restore blood flow, a higher percentage of people now make a full recovery.
Some possible complications include the following:Heart failure Abnormal heart rhythms A further heart attack
The most crucial time is during the first day or so. If no complications arise and you are well after a couple of weeks then you have a good chance of making a full recovery. A main objective then is to get back into normal life and to minimise the risk of a further heart attack.
When recovering from a heart attack, it is natural to wonder if there are any dos and don'ts. In the past, well-meaning but bad advice to 'rest and take it easy from now on' caused some people to become over-anxious about their hearts. Some people gave up their jobs, hobbies and any activity that caused exertion, for fear of straining the heart.
However, quite the opposite is true for most people who recover from a heart attack. Regular exercise and getting back to normal work and life are usually advised. Much can be done to reduce the risk of a further heart attack. Read more about after a heart attack (myocardial infarction).

The recent rate of emergence of pathogenic fungi that are resistant to the limited number of commonly used antifungal agents is unprecedented. The azoles, for example, are used not only for human and animal health care and crop protection but also in antifouling coatings and timber preservation. The ubiquity and multiple uses of azoles have hastened the independent evolution of resistance in many environments. One consequence is an increasing risk in human health care from naturally occurring opportunistic fungal pathogens that have acquired resistance to this broad class of chemicals. To avoid a global collapse in our ability to control fungal infections and to avoid critical failures in medicine and food security, we must improve our stewardship of extant chemicals, promote new antifungal discovery, and leverage emerging technologies for alternative solutions.

fulla is a command-line tool distributed with hugin 0.6 and later. It is suitable for batch correction of:
- Chromatic aberration: See a full tutorial, Correcting TCA with hugin and fulla.
- Lens distortion such as barrel distortion or pincushion distortion: fulla uses the same a, b, c and d parameters as other Panorama Tools derived programs.
- Vignetting: polynomial correction by division, addition or flatfield images. hugin contains a vignetting calculator that can use a series of overlapping photographs to determine the likely polynomial required to correct common vignetting problems.
fulla can work with the same range of image types as nona, including 8bit and 16bit TIFF and 32bit floating-point HDR TIFF data.
Command-line usage
Usage: fulla [options] inputfile(s) options are: -g a:b:c:d Radial distortion coefficient for all channels, (a, b, c, d) -b a:b:c:d Radial distortion coefficents for blue channel, (a, b, c, d) this is applied on top of the -g distortion coefficients, use for TCA corr -r a:b:c:d Radial distortion coefficents for red channel, (a, b, c, d) this is applied on top of the -g distortion coefficients, use for TCA corr -f filename Vignetting correction by flatfield division I = I / c, c = flatfield / mean(flatfield) -c a:b:c:d radial vignetting correction by division: I = I / c, c = a + b*r2 + c*r4 + d*r6 -a Correct vignetting by addition, rather than by division I = I + c -p Try to read radial distortion coefficients (-g) from PTLens database -m Canon Camera manufacturer, for PTLens database query -n Camera Camera name, for PTLens database query -l Lens Lens name, for PTLens database query if not specified, a list of possible lenses is displayed -d 50 specify focal length in mm, for PTLens database query -t n Number of threads that should be used during processing -h Display help (this text) -o name set output filename. If more than one image is given, the name will be uses as suffix (default suffix: _corr) -v Verbose
PTLens database lookup
fulla will look-up your camera in a PTLens database and try to automatically determine Lens correction parameters for your pictures. An older free version of the database is required which can be downloaded from sourceforge.
Use the PTLENS_PROFILE environment variable to specify the location of the PTLens database, for example on Linux or OS X:
On Windows something like this (untested) should work:
set PTLENS_PROFILE=%HOMEPATH%\PTLens\profile.txt

Citing long waits for unprocessed benefits claims, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, is calling for the replacement of Gen. Eric Shinseki, head of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
In an op-ed article published Thursday in The Washington Post, Hunter and Pete Hegseth, the chief executive of Concerned Veterans for America, called Shinseki a patriot and honorable man who has failed to produce results at a dysfunctional governmental agency.
"In other spheres, a leader who falters would be swiftly replaced," Hunter and Hegseth wrote. "Can you imagine a battlefield commander failing yet staying in place? We cannot and therefore believe that new leadership at the VA — from top to bottom, in Washington and across the country — is necessary."
In response, the VA issued a statement Friday saying that it is implementing a plan to end the claims backlog in 2015.
"Too many veterans wait too long for a decision on their benefits claims, and this has never been acceptable," it said. "Under Secretary Shinseki's leadership, VA has laid out aggressive reform initiatives to better serve veterans by expanding access to care and benefits to all generations of veterans, ending veterans homelessness and ending the decades-long disability claims backlog. We have made progress, but there is more work to do."
The VA's problems in processing benefits have been well-documented over the past several weeks, even receiving a rebuke from the normally left-leaning Jon Stewart during a segment on "The Daily Show."
The VA has pointed out that much of the backlog has been created by veterans returning from 10 years of war with complex injuries, increasing the time required to complete their claims. Shinseki also has begun recognizing medical conditions related to Agent Orange, post-traumatic-stress disorder, and Gulf War illness, which has led to additional claims.
Hunter and Hegseth pointed out that the vast majority of benefit claims are still processed on paper, and Defense Department databases are not compatible with the VA's systems.
"Some defenders of the VA say that the backlog is growing because new veterans are entering the system and access for veterans of previous generations has been expanded," they wrote. "Even so, the VA should have seen this crisis coming. Veterans returning home from war and more veterans accessing the system mean more claims. The department failed to plan sufficiently."
The pair concluded that simply replacing Shinseki, a former Army chief of staff, would not fix the underlying issues, but it is a necessary starting point.
"The department needs a dynamic and uncompromising leader who will make bold reforms to a bloated and calcified bureaucracy and rethink the way we interact with and serve veterans of all generations," Hunter and Hegseth said. "We need to learn from the private sector about customer service and efficiency and hold VA officials accountable to deliver on their mission."
At a White House media roundtable April 5, Shinseki responded to earlier calls for his resignation.
"In this job I get to take care of kids I went to war with 40 years ago in a place called Vietnam," he told the Military.com website. "I get to take care of those kids we deployed when I was service chief. I get to take care of the great giants, those veterans of World War II, who saved the world and those who saved a country in the '50s and who raised me in the profession. For those reasons, when the president offered me the opportunity I took it, and I haven't really thought much more about it."

Roger Brown's First & 10: Division I's top seed likely on the line FridayBY ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 14. 2013 5:12PM
THERE WILL be plenty at stake when No. 1 Concord hosts No. 2 Bedford on Friday night at Memorial Field.
Not only will it be a meeting between the top two teams in this week's Power Poll, it likely will determine the top seed for the Division I North championship game. It also could determine the No. 1 overall seed for the Division I playoffs, since Concord, Bedford and No. 3 Nashua South are the only unbeaten teams remaining in Division I.
"The Bedford game really has some significant playoff implications for us, and we know it," Concord coach Eric Brown said. "Whoever wins that game will host the conference championship game, I'm assuming, unless there's some major problems down the road for either of us. It'll be a great home crowd, and our kids will be ready to go."
Concord maintained its position at the top of the poll after it beat No. 4 Pinkerton Academy of Derry, 21-14 in overtime Friday night. The Crimson Tide trailed by eight points with less than a minute to play in that contest.
Friday's game will be the 11th time in the six-year history of the Power Poll that the top two teams have met on the field. It also will be a match-up between the top offense (Concord) and top defense (Bedford) in Division I. The Bulldogs had posted four consecutive shutout victories before beating Manchester Memorial 45-14 Friday.
Bedford also has the No. 2 offense in Division I. The Bulldogs have scored at least 45 points in four of their six victories.
"They like to throw it around," Brown said. "We've worked hard at getting better at pass defense, and hopefully that will show (on Friday)."
There was little change from last week in this week's poll. Portsmouth is the only new entry. The Clippers moved into the No. 10 spot after they beat previously undefeated St. Thomas Aquinas of Dover 49-28 on Friday night.
Portsmouth replaced Spaulding of Rochester, which was No. 9 last week but dropped out of the poll following a 38-26 loss to No. 5 Bishop Guertin of Nashua. Trinity of Manchester moved from No. 10 to No. 9.
In addition to the Concord-Bedford matchup, there are two other games on this weekend's schedule that feature two teams in the poll: No. 5 BG at No. 3 Nashua South on Friday, and No. 10 Portsmouth at No. 6 Plymouth on Saturday.
THE NEWS isn't good at Milford, where quarterback/defensive back Harrison Urda suffered an ankle injury in the first half of his team's 42-7 triumph over John Stark of Weare on Saturday. Urda will miss the rest of the season.
"It's a complete dislocation, and he snapped the fibula," Milford coach Keith Jones said. "He had surgery (on Sunday). Now it's six weeks of non-weight bearing before he starts rehabilitation."
Urda, a senior, is likely to miss the entire varsity basketball season, but Jones said he may be able to play lacrosse in the spring.
"Character-wise, he's one of the nicest kids we've ever had," Jones said. "He's a great captain — very good with the younger kids."
Sophomore Max Urda, Harrison's younger brother, will take over as Milford's starting quarterback. The Spartans (4-2) are still in the mix for a playoff spot in Division II South.
PELHAM (5-0) remained the only unbeaten team in Division III, with a 21-7 triumph against Epping-Newmarket on Saturday. Pelham's Chris Medeiros rushed for a game-high 83 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries.
Despite its unbeaten record, Pelham has little room for error since the South is the most competitive conference in Division III. Bow and Campbell of Litchfield are both 4-1, and Somersworth is 3-2. The toughest test remaining on Pelham's schedule is an Oct. 25 contest at Campbell.
MONADNOCK of Swanzey (6-0) and Plymouth (6-0) each secured the No. 1 seed for their respective conference championship games by winning last weekend. Monadnock will be at home for the Division II West title game, and Plymouth will play host to the Division II North championship game.

Skip to comments.Choose Your Pope!
Posted on 02/24/2013 3:38:56 PM PST by ReformationFan
The latest from Lutheran Satire. I think all critics(both Protestant and Roman Catholic alike) of theological liberalism can appreciate this one.
I hear the Admin Moderator is up for the job.
Pope Zotius.
Glad to see this is satire.
Not for us to choose. All we can do is pray.
Pope Josey Wales I
1. You gonna go on being uptight shrivel-ass celibate male sexists, or you gonna have women priests?
2. Abortion-contraception-sodomy-fornication-divorce/remarriage, embryo-cannibalism, and you can pick one of your "traditional" Sacraments to round it out to seven. OK?
3 Blah-blah global warming, inclusion diversity sustainability, small carbon footprint, eat the rich, beat and strip the middle class, infantilize/brutalize the poor, social justice (but I repeat myself), stop being mean and just give Israel to the Palestinians, and while you're at it, give Italy to North Africa. OK?
#4, after the break, was probably quite a doozy, but it must have been something like, "Stop worshipping Jesus, he is offensive to Gaia because he was a MAN! OK?"
Did I come close?
Is this a famous person?
Famous for being famous. It's Kim Kardashian, and the funny thing is until I grabbed that picture, I can proudly say that I didn't know what she looked like either (though I can't say that anymore).
I guessed it although I've never before actually seen her. Apparently she's an intellectual and deep thinker?
I'd like to choose the guy who will excommunicate all Kennedys, Bidens, and Cuomos!
...and Kardashians!
Pope Pompous.
Vote for Pedro.
My best pal's brother is a Cardinal, and he promised him to send texts during potty breaks when the Conclave meets.
LOL! My husband, 25 yr. old daughter and I got a kick out of that!
What, he can't live-tweet it?
A recent college graduate, Kelly earned a BA in Advanced Feng-Shui Marketing. A self-described way-devoted super-Catholic, Kelly has attended mass almost 7 times. Therefore, making her opinions on the theological direction of the Catholic church entirely valid and perfectly worthy of public attention.
Question #1: Since I have absolutely no interest in knowing the scriptural and historical reasons for the male only priesthood, and since my Religious Worldviews in the Feminist Paradigm professor told me that, like, five of the apostles were totally women, I think the Catholic Church is finally ready for women priests. You guys agree, right?
Oulette: No.
Turkson: No.
Scola: No.
Question #2: Like most devout Catholic women who dont go to Mass and dont believe anything the Church says, I use birth control because babies are a lot of work and my boyfriend and I totally need to re-tile our master bathroom. Thats cool with you guys, right?
Oulette: No.
Turkson: No.
Scola: No.
You guys are lame.
Question #3: I like the aesthetics of the Catholic Church but dont like its theology. I support no-fault divorce, abortion rights, gay marriage, gender-neutral language, and think that its mean to criticize Islam. I couldnt be more of a liberal episcopalian if Katherine Jefferts-Schiori formed me from the dust from the ground, and yet I still inexplicably identify myself as a Catholic.
Cardinal Ouellet: Is there a question coming any time soon?
Kelly: Unless you want to be elected bishop of mysogyny, dont interrupt me! My question is this: even though my utter indifference towards the church that perfectly represents my theology clearly reveals that theres no way that Ill ever come back to the Catholic faith, you guys will still cast aside your vows to be faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church unto death and 2000 years of tradition in a pathetic attempt to woo me, right?
Oulette: No.
Turkson: No.
Scola: No.
Question #4: My favourite TV show is Glee
Cardinal Ouellet: Oh, sweet mercy, no!
Cardinal Turkson: Stop!
Cardinal Scola: Please shut your mouth before the Angel of Death destroys us all!

Dunbarton nixes man's poultry planBy SUSAN CLARK
Union Leader Correspondent
December 19. 2013 10:20PM
DUNBARTON — Tom Giovagnoli's plan to build a barn for 20,000 egg-laying hens has been rejected by the planning board, and he is now considering subdividing the 85 acres of farm land for homes.
"It's already public knowledge that if I can't use the land for what I want to do, I'll subdivide it," he said.
Giovagnoli first went before the board in April seeking to build a 27,000-square-foot barn on his Twist Hill Road property with plans to sell eggs produced by cage-free and organic-certified hens to Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs of Monroe.
After months of planning board meetings, legal and engineering costs, and facing opposition from abutters, Giovagnoli said he has fulfilled the board's request for information. He and his son, Eric, arrived without legal and engineering representation at the Dec. 18 public hearing, and pressed board members to make a decision and approve the site plan with conditions. However, the board said all the required information has not been provided and written on the site plan. At the meeting, members repeatedly asked Giovagnoli to request a 90-day extension.
"I can't continue to repeat the same thing meeting after meeting. A meeting costs me $10,000," he said. "Give me conditional approval and write down what is conditional and I'll either accept it or not."
Chairman Ken Swayze and the other six board members agreed that's not how the process works.
"I need to know what I'm voting on. I need it in writing. I need it on the record," said member Alison Vallieres.In the past, Giovagnoli was asked to address potential impacts on surrounding properties such as water and air quality, devaluation of surrounding properties, and operations concerning nitrate management. At the Nov. 20 meeting, the board asked about Giovagnoli's plan for an outdoor pen for the chickens, something that had not been thoroughly discussed.
Engineer Jennifer McCourt told the board the chickens would be able to run free in a fenced outdoor area from noon to dusk, prompting board member George Holt to voice his concern about how the chickens' manure would be treated away from the barn's waste storage system.
This is one of the missing items from the site plan, said the board on Wednesday. But Giovagnoli said the board has made the distinction between agricultural and commercial site plan requirements.
"Where is it written a site plan is required in an agricultural zone?" he said. "It's against state law for you to create hardship. You're putting me out of business before I even get started."
Swayze said a change of use and development requires a site plan review, and no plan will get approval unless it's complete.
During public comment on Dec. 18 some residents sided with Giovagnoli— a trend that has been occurring as more hearings on the matter take place. Mike Bergeron asked how many times does the farmer need to come before the board to get approval, and another person said all Giovagnoli wants to do is produce eggs and be a farmer.
Giovagnoli also said his existing barn could hold 40,000 hens in cages, but he would rather build a barn and grow chickens organically.
"What he's saying is true. If he put chickens in that barn we wouldn't be here," said Swayze.
Swayze said he didn't think the board was asking too much because all they want is a complete plan.
"We're trying to be fair here to everyone. You have a farm and I think you can all co-exist," he said, referring to abutters and residents.
Before voting, the board asked Giovagnoli again if he wanted an extension, to which he responded no. The board voted unanimously to deny the site plan because of inadequate information.
After the meeting, Giovagnoli said he will be speaking with his attorney about "the legality of what the town has done."
Giovagnoli said he believes the board ignored the site plan criteria as stated in the town's regulations.
"The only agricultural use that requires a site plan review is a veterinarian," he said. "I should have gotten my permit."

Baseball, Kentucky Derby connection goes way back
Of all the historic photos adorning the walls of Churchill Downs, the iconic site of the Kentucky Derby, one combines two pieces of true Americana like no other.
It's a classic grainy black-and-white shot of Babe Ruth standing in the infield of the old racetrack on the first Saturday of May 1936, alongside Louisville Slugger bat craftsman Bud Hillerich.

It's a classic grainy black-and-white shot of Babe Ruth standing in the infield of the old racetrack on the first Saturday of May 1936, alongside Louisville Slugger bat craftsman Bud Hillerich.
Yes, the Sultan of Swat was a horse racing fan, which proves that national pastimes are sometimes impossible to separate.
The Kentucky Derby has had several connections to baseball over the years, but none on a grander scale than when the bigger-than-life Babe himself showed up to take in the Run for the Roses.
But according to sports columnist emeritus Jerry Izenberg of the Newark Star-Ledger, it's doubtful that Ruth knew exactly what was going on that day, when Cavalcade cruised past Discovery in the stretch to win the 60th Derby.
"I'm sure Babe went to the track because he heard there was a good party there," Izenberg said. "I don't think he knew too much about horse racing, although I'm sure he placed a few bets."

In 2005, baseball was a big part of just about every backstretch conversation at Churchill Downs because late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner brought his colt, Bellamy Road, to Louisville as the race favorite.
Bellamy Road, who went off at 5-2 odds, disappointed, battling out of the gate but fading in the stretch to finish seventh, beaten by 6 3/4 lengths by 50-1 winner Giacomo.
Steinbrenner was winless in six Derby tries dating back to 1977, when Steve's Friend did the best of any Steinbrenner runner, finishing fifth in a race won by eventual Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew.
The Boss' most successful manager, 2014 Hall of Fame inductee Joe Torre, ran a horse of his own in the Derby. Homeboykris, who went off at 27-1, finished 16th in a field of 20 in 2010.
Steinbrenner was the second Major League Baseball owner to start a horse in the Derby. The first one, John W. Galbreath, won the race twice. Galbreath, who died in 1988, owned the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1946-85 and won World Series titles with the team in 1960, 1971 and 1979.
He was born -- fittingly enough -- in Derby, Ohio, built a realty business, made millions and spent some of the money Darby Dan Farm, a thoroughbred racing and breeding business.
In the 89th Derby on May 4, 1963, Galbreath's colt Chateaugay outran 9-1 odds to win by 1 1/4 lengths, and four years later, Darby Dan pulled the trick again, sending Proud Clarion to a shocking one-length Derby score at 30-1.
Picking Bellamy Road wasn't a hunch for most horseplayers in 2005, but baseball fans have had opportunities through the years to pick horses that allude to the grand old game.
The only horse with a baseball-related name to win the Derby was Shut Out -- a grandson of Pennant (out of the mare Swinging) -- who won the 68th running of the Derby in 1942. Shut Out happened to beat two other baseball-named horses that day, too.
Fair Call finished seventh and Sweep Swinger rambled home for 10th place. This year has three horses with baseball names, if you're willing to stretch that notion a bit: Commanding Curve, the No. 17 horse on Saturday, is the son of Master Command and has morning-line odds of 50-1.
General a Rod, No. 8 in your program for the Run for the Roses, ran a game third in the Florida Derby in his last start.
Wildcat Red, who's not a Cincinnati-bred but did run second in that same Florida Derby, has drawn post No. 10 and will likely try to take his early speed as far as he can over the course of the 1 1/4 miles.
Aside from the horse names, one of the obvious links between baseball and the thoroughbred game is the term Triple Crown.
Horse people know it as the rare accomplishment of winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes in order, and it hasn't happened since Affirmed, with jockey Steve Cauthen up, turned the trick in 1978.
In baseball, of course, the rare achiever of the Triple Crown is a hitter who leads his league in batting average, home runs and RBIs at the end of a season. The Tigers' Miguel Cabrera did that in 2012, the first Triple Crown winner since Boston's Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
Even Cauthen was impressed.
"I guess it's just like baseball," Cauthen said. "Same sort of thing. It takes obviously a great player, just like a great horse, and you need a few things to go your way. You can't have injuries or setbacks. It's darn near impossible to do otherwise."
The most bizarre baseball-and-Derby connection has to do with none other than Stanley Burrell of Oakland, known in popular music circles as the rapper MC Hammer.
In the early 1970s, when Burrell was 12 years old, he was spotted in the Oakland Coliseum parking lot practicing his dance moves to get free tickets to A's games. Madcap A's owner Charlie Finley was entertained and struck up a friendship with the local kid.
Soon enough, Burrell, an aspiring baseball player, was hired by Finley to be a batboy. The A's players grew to like him and nicknamed him "Hammer" because of his likeness to Henry "Hammerin' Hank" Aaron, and by the time he was 13 he was given the title of honorary "vice president" by Finley. Hammer's job eventually included relaying messages from players to Finley while the owner spent time at home in Indiana and even talking business with other team owners.
Hammer went on to make millions when his 1990 album, "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em," sold more than 10 million copies and stayed at No. 1 on the charts for 21 weeks on the strength of the single, "U Can't Touch This."
Hammer parlayed some of his fortune into horses, starting Oaktown Stable. In 1992, Dance Floor made it to the Derby and performed well, leading until the top of the stretch and finishing third at 33-1 odds. Soon after, Hammer lost his fortune and got out of the racing business, but hard-knocking racing fans will never forget the sight of the one-time pop icon flaunting oodles of jewelry and taking his entourage into upscale turf clubs of various racetracks while wearing a sports jacket … with no shirt underneath.
"Certainly racing had never seen anybody like him," said turf writer Bill Finley, who covered racing for the New York Daily News in the 1990s and now writes for ESPN.com.
"As you can imagine, most owners are pretty stiff people. Hammer acted like a wild man, and just like he did in the music world, he crashed and burned."

Jerod wraps our Super Bowl coverage with a take on whether Columbus should try to bring an NFL, or even a Super Bowl, to town soon.
When a player earns his dream trip to the Super Bowl, he does not live that dream alone. His family can go along for the ride, and in some cases that can be a huge distraction for players. Tickets, hotel rooms, transportation—it can prove far more stressful than playing the game.
As I'm starting the weekend here in Indy, I've been thinking about what all I've seen this week. Two subjects stand out: the crowd and the security.
We're just two days now from an actual football game, and when you walk about the Super Bowl village, or just downtown Indy in general, you pick up a positive vibe. Unusually positive. The city's well prepared for this onslaught of attention and the people are soaking it up.
I think we as a nation have come to terms with the idea of football as the national pastime, and second place is trailing by miles and miles. The fact that the 20 most watched TV shows EVER are Super Bowls underscores that point.
Oversized men salsa dancing on an indoor football field in the heart of America—must be Super Bowl Media Day.

VICTORIA, British Columbia, April 16 (UPI) -- There's too much at stake in British Columbia to warrant construction of a major oil pipeline planned for Asian exports, a protest organizer said.
The Canadian government backed plans by Enbridge to build its Northern Gateway pipeline to carry oil from tar sands projects in Alberta province to the coast of British Columbia.
Leila Darwish, a Sierra Club organizer of a protest planned against Enbridge, told local broadcaster NEWS 1130 that the Northern Gateway would pose a major risk to the regional environment.
"We know that oil spills happen, it's not a matter of if but when," she said. "If it happens on our coast, we're going to lose so much and I think we all stand to lose in this province."
The Northern Gateway project gained momentum after the U.S. government delayed plans for the Keystone XL pipeline to transit Alberta crude to refineries along the southern U.S. coast.
Critics of oil sands characterize it as the dirtiest type of oil because it is energy-intensive to produce and it lingers in the environment if spilled.
The government said was looking was ways to reduce emissions from oil sands operations.

Some evening particulars: the sunset was to die for; Littlest Dude was thrilled to wear his favorite new Dinosaur t-shirt (that was formerly the favorite of both his older siblings!); the hot chocolate was delicious; the weather was warm; and the tide level was back to normal (notice: all the rocks are covered this time - same beach 7 days later).
Some camera particulars: I toyed with the settings on my camera. I've now had my "big girl" camera for a year, and I still only know a small fraction of the many capabilities that it has. So I often play around with settings just to see what happens. This time I edited the "Picture Style" by bumping the Sharpening, Contrast and Color Saturation in the menu section. Each of the pictures on this post is totally, completely SOOC. Truth be told, I probably boosted the camera settings (sharpness, contrast, saturation) too high, but I LOVE the effect. And it was quite fun NOT to have to add anything to these.
The down side? I probably couldn't use these camera settings for portraits - at least not a sunset time (or probably in shadows). All our faces came out quite strongly orange. But hey, I can always do a quickie b&w conversion:
Which all leads to my photo tip for the day: Play with your camera settings. Just about any digital camera will let you adjust your settings. Read all about it in your camera manuals. Experiment. See what happens. Have fun!

Ian Clark's On Baseball: He's a tall order for any lineup
August 26. 2013 10:08PM
IF YOU want to get a look at the next big thing — literally and figuratively — in the way of Boston Red Sox pitching prospects then Tuesday night is the night.
Rated the No. 5 Red Sox prospect at the start of the season, 6-foot-6 left-hander Henry Owens will start for Portland Tuesday at 6:35 against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium. One of the Fisher Cats top pitchers, Marcus Stroman (8-4), will toe the rubber against Owens.
"We know what we have here. We have a very interesting left-handed pitching prospect with game makeup, composure, poise and (good) stuff," said Portland manager Kevin Boles. "He has plenty of room to fill out. There's plenty of upside with him."
Owens was the 36th overall pick out of Edison High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., in the 2011 First-Year player draft. He started in the South Atlantic League with single-A Greenville in 2012, going 12-5 with a 4.87 ERA and an eye-opening 130 strikeouts in 101 2/3 innings.
Owens, who declined an interview request so that he could focus on tonight's start, began this season with single-A Salem (going 8-5 with a 2.92 ERA and 123 strikeouts in 102 2/3 innings) and was called up to Portland on Aug. 1. With the Sea Dogs in four starts, Owens is 2-0 with 1.50 ERA through 18 innings with 30 strikeouts.
"He's got a three-pitch mix, he's got leverage with the fastball when it works down in the zone. He plays off the breaking ball. He's got a sharp-looking breaking ball. The arm speed on the changeup is pretty impressive," Boles said. "Again, it's a three-pitch mix and the variance on velocities on those three pitches has been very impressive. He maintains his stuff from the stretch and has a calm presence. He has a lot of poise for a young pitcher."
Owens put together an impressive stretch with Salem earlier this season, throwing 19 consecutive no-hit innings. One of the outings was an actual no-hitter, albeit combined with two other pitchers. But that's life in the minor leagues. A no-hitter doesn't guarantee you'll stay in the game when you're a young pitcher.
Those 19 innings of dominance were a glimpse into what Boston hopes Owens will develop into at the major league level. His rookie season in Greenville was regarded as underwhelming considering his potential, though those strikeout numbers were a major silver lining.
Owens seems to have taken the next step from an inconsistent and perhaps unfocused youngster into a pitcher with some drive at age 21. Owens struggled in his last start, but Boles is expecting a smooth bounce-back tonight.
"We're looking for better command. He had a rough outing the last time out but he'll learn from that and make those adjustments," Boles said. "He doesn't wear his emotion on his sleeves. You've got to give him credit for that because this league can get fast sometimes. It can get quick in a hurry with some of the offenses in this league."
Owens remains a work in progress, but many of his stats show the promise that has Boston so excited to monitor his development. In addition to the ridiculous strikeout numbers, Owens has also dominated right-handed batters (who are hitting just .140 against him) and all batters are hitting just .053 with runners in scoring position against Owens.
And the "can't miss" label doesn't appear to bother him, either.
"He blocks out all the noise. He does a real good job with that. His teammates love him and being around him. He's focused and he comes in with a plan every day," Boles said. "He's driven. He wants to become a major league pitcher and become a quality one."

Does anyone do BLW? What foods did u start with? Is BLW more advisable than pureeing everything?
Thanks x
Does anyone do BLW? What foods did u start with? Is BLW more advisable than pureeing everything?
Thanks x
yep, lots of us here do it and like it and think it's better than puree. there are a bunch of really great threads on it if you do a search, then come back and ask us specific questions!
Nursing, pumping, cloth-diapering, babywearing, working professor mama with the awesomest SAHD ever.
Not only is BLW more advisable, it's also about a million times easier than feeding purées.
I love BLW! I personally started with avocado--lots of healthy nutrients and fats, and baby-friendly texture and consistency. My 9 month old eats all sorts of things now, even with only two teeth! Veggies, fruits, eggs, meats, steel cut oats, yogurt...the list goes on.
Excellent! Will have a search. I can't wait to start. My LO is only 4.5 months so still seems ages away but like to be well informed :-) x
I love it. Personally I got the book and used those suggestions. I think we started with things like thin 'fingers' of soft ripe pear and cooked carrot and 'toast soldiers' she could hold in her fist and chomp (I personally do not have gluten worries in my family) plain Ricecakes were an early favorite as well... she really more or less played with the food at first, which was fine with me. We started at 7 months and it was about two months or so before she was really eating much, now she has the hang of pincher grip so can eat anything so for the past couple of months its been pretty much exactly what the reat of us eat, cut to size as needed. She also is a toothless wonder-at 12 months has 3.
We started with toast fingers (no wheat concerns here either) and it's still a favorite because they are so easy to hold and maneuver. French toast in the same train of thought (no egg concerns), sweet potato, avocado, and banana were among our first.
We started at six months and have been very very lazy about offering because he's often asleep at meal time. He's 8 months and we've also given baby corn, carrot, chicken, pork, green beans, broccoli, lemon, orange, red velvet cake (what a mess), ice cream, pancakes, eggs, and potato wedges. I'm not saying he ate much of these things, but he at least gummed on them for a second. He's a big fan of strongly flavored things. The cake/ice cream was just a special occasion bite.
avocado, banana, black beans, potatoes, etc...anything that is soft and can be mushed in the mouth without the need for chewing.
Mommy of 4,
3 who I watch over, 1 who watches over all of us
J- 8/20/05 pumped breastmilk for 11 months due to his cleft lip and palate!
M- 10/17/07 my precious baby lives forever in her mommys heart

Find Out Your Passion!
- 30 Artículos
- Edad 24
Youth around the world must have so many likes and dislikes. Moreover, youth go through a phase when young people have so many ideas and have great power. However, this is also a phase when so many young people confuse themselves in what field they fit the most in. Finally, the bad impacts that come from this condition appear. Young people often do and learn something. They rarely put their best and make it until the finish line. They often feel stressed if a problem arises and they just cannot hold on to it. I want to share some tips to make it easier to find your own "field."
1. Recognize yourself as best as you can. You are the one who knows what characteristics you have, what your strength and weaknesses are.
2. Know your talent. You must have a talent that lies inside you. How do I know what my talent is? You can recognize it from the activities you are really good at. For example, speaking, writing, composing, playing sports, making design and others. If you are a multitalent person, then this next step will help you the most.
3. Analyze which subject and courses you really love. Something that even if you find it hard to understand, no matter how hard you need to learn, you will never be bored, and you will never lose your excitement.
4. Compare your personality with the field that you want to enter. It will help you to know which field you need to seek.
5. Committment. This is the main point for all the things that you do in your life. Having a commitment will help you take on any role in any field, because commitment and motivation are two factors that will help you to keep going on what you do, to remind you why you love the things that you take.
Youth is a phase when we try a lot of things and figure out which thing is the best for us. What we need to remember is although it is the phase to try a lot of things, to challenge ourselves, we actually don't need to try all of the things that are in front of us. By focusing on your field, you will have more time to learn about it and become a master in your field. You will also have more chances to develop yourself in your field. May your journey be fun and exciting!

Robex Resources Inc./Nampala: Advancement of the Work for the Implementation of Production
By: Marketwired .
Dec. 6, 2012 08:15 AM
QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 12/06/12 -- Robex Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RBX)(FRANKFURT:RB4) is pleased to inform its shareholders that the construction of the mine on the Mininko permit in Nampala is going very well.
The mobilization process is currently underway and equipment is arriving on site every day. The construction of the concrete plant and warehouse, as well as the installation of concrete bases for the building of the sentry gate is progressing very well (see photos at www.robexgold.com). Also, the construction of the second base of life necessary for workers and managers is being started and the construction of the analytical laboratory is in the final stages. As of next week, the layout of the fence surrounding the site will be implemented and the stripping work of the plant site and access to the pit and tailings facility will be initiated.
In addition, Robex is proud to present the team in place in Nampala who are presently working hard on the advancement of the project:
Mr. Regis Desbiens, VP Mine, Mr. Andre Drouin, metallurgist, Mr. Francois Dupuis, Construction Manager, Richard Samson, topographer, Mr. Claude Pelletier, Director of Procurements, Mr. Jeffrey Doodnath, Overseas Procurement Officer and Ms. Jacinthe Turcotte, administrative Director. Will also be posted soon; Mr. Alain Gauthier, Superintendent of mining operations, Mr. Jean-Pierre Pelletier, Earth Works Supervisor and Mr. Yvan Garon, mechanical and civil structure construction supervisor.
Reminder on the Nampala mining project
The Company has decided to start gold production with a plant having a capacity of around 1,500 tonnes per day ("t/d") and increase this, sequentially, notably through internal cash flows, until the threshold of 6,000 t/d as envisioned in the BFS (approx. 50,000 oz Au per annum) is reached. The expansions are planned as soon as the construction of the first phase is completed. We believe that being in production should open up access to debt financing required for expansions if necessary. In addition, the possible exercise of warrants issued in this financing is specifically designed to address those expansions. Robex continues its exploration on Mininko (Nampala) with the objective to double its resources so as to potentially increase its production to about 13,000 t/d.
Grant of options
Robex Resources Board of Directors agreed to grant 2,000,000 options to its directors, and certain employees and consultants. The options are granted, under the Robex regime for granting shares, to acquire the shares at a price of 0.145$. The options have a term of five years and are subject to a hold period of four months from the date of the grant of the options.

What's your opinion on Ugg boots for men? Everytime I've seen a man sporting Uggs I've done a double take and then tittered to myself. I'm not a fan of Uggs for women, let alone Uggs for men. Ronnie Wood and Brad Pitt are some of the many male slebs pictured in Uggs and now apparently the US company is aiming their furry boot firmly in the direction of men.

Seven months after announcing plans to take up where Microsoft left off with its Windows Longhorn client development, a group of members of the Joejoe.org site have built a working prototype of what they're calling 'Longhorn Reloaded'. Earlier this week, the Longhorn Reloaded developers and testers posted for download Milestone 1 of Longhorn Reloaded. "Longhorn Reloaded is a Project dedicated to the revival of the Operating System known as Code Name 'Longhorn'. To put the projects aims simply, we aim to finish off what Microsoft started before the operating system was canceled. It is a modification of Windows 6.0.4074, which was originally released during the 2004 Windows Hardware Engineers Conference," explained the Longhorn Reloaded team on the Joejoe Web site.

Dodgers on brink of World Series after 6-1 winThe Sports Xchange
October 18. 2017 1:28AM
CHICAGO — Chris Taylor homered and drove in two runs, and Yu Darvish allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers moved to within a victory of the National League pennant with a 6-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.
The Dodgers, who last reached the World Series in 1988, can advance with a win in Game 4 of the NL Championship Series on Wednesday night at Wrigley Field.
Darvish struck out seven, scattered six hits and walked just one as the Dodgers took a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven NLCS. Darvish also drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk in the sixth inning.
The Cubs, who hadn't managed a hit off the Dodgers bullpen in the NLCS, put runners on second and third in the ninth when Alex Avila singled and Albert Almora Jr. followed with a double off of right-hander Ross Stripling. However, Los Angeles closer Kenley Jansen got Addison Russell to pop out to first and then struck out Tommy La Stella and Ian Happ to close out the victory.
The Dodgers led 3-1 entering the sixth. After Yasiel Puig reached on an error by Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, Andre Ethier singled and Austin Barnes walked to load the bases. Cubs reliever Carl Edwards Jr., after getting Joc Pederson to fly out for the second out, walked Darvish on four pitches to extend the margin to three.
Los Angeles tacked on a pair of runs in the eighth inning to break the game open. After a walk to Logan Forsythe and a Barnes single, Forsythe scored when Mike Montgomery's pitch bounded off the arm of catcher Willson Contreras, which allowed Barnes to advance to third base. Pinch hitter Kyle Farmer followed with a sacrifice fly that gave the Dodgers their biggest lead.
Chicago jumped out to the lead for the third straight time in the NLCS. Kyle Schwarber homered off Darvish with one out in the first inning. The Cubs, who struggled to mount much offense in a pair of weekend losses, got hits from three of their first five batters but failed to add to their lead and stranded a pair of runners after the Schwarber homer.
With Los Angeles trailing 1-0 in the second inning, Ethier drew the Dodgers even with a solo home run on the first pitch he saw from Kyle Hendricks.
Taylor broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning with a 444-foot solo home run to dead center field.
Taylor provided the Dodgers with a 3-1 lead with a fifth-inning RBI triple down the third base line that scored Pederson, who led off with a double.
Hendricks, who struggled with his command, allowed at least two home runs for the second consecutive postseason start. He gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits in five-plus innings.
NOTES: Dodgers C Austin Barnes started his fourth straight game. Manager Dave Roberts opted to keep Barnes in the lineup as opposed to Yasmani Grandal, who has struggled against Cubs RHP Kyle Hendricks. Roberts said Tuesday he expects Grandal to start in Game 4 on Wednesday against Cubs RHP Jake Arrieta. ... Cubs LF Kyle Schwarber's first-inning home run gave him six postseason homers, which ties him with 1B Anthony Rizzo for the franchise record. ... Chicago 2B Javy Baez did not start for the first time in the NLCS as he was mired in an 0-for-19 postseason slump. Manager Joe Maddon said he prefers to have Baez in the game for defensive purposes, but instead started Ben Zobrist, who hit in the leadoff spot for Chicago. Baez popped out as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. ... Rizzo snapped an 0-for-16 slump with a sixth-inning single.

So, Why Restart Rather than Start Anew?
So, I find that I have both the need and the wish to blog again. I enjoy sharing stories and knitting, and it's a nifty way to keep up with friends and practice my creative non-fiction writing skills. It's also just plain fun. (grin)
But why restart rather than start new? Well, for one thing, I'm known as belonging to this phrase and this site, so people can find me here, even if they've been waiting for several years. That's the practical reason -- that and the fact that the site is already set up with blind friendly features, and I don't feel like re-writing CSS code again at this time. Very tedious.
The non-practical reasons are much more interesting to explore.
CONTINUITY It's both simple and complex as an idea. I not only like continuity, even with large gaps in the weaving, on some level I crave it. My mother still refers to a decade of my life as the time when I'd been "abducted by aliens," a time when I was cut off from so many people that I lost part of myself. A big part. Once I re-emerged, very carefully, in real life and on the web, I made real efforts to find list friends, with a better than 50% rating that is still improving. There are places were the lace of my life is very open -- lots of holes and little thread -- but the connectors are strong, my friends generous, and the lace has become much more dense.
While these last couple of years were a bit thinner, the cause was much simpler and far more benign: illness, increases in blindness, grief at losing an important companion, and a physical move certain to bring strength once I'd learned the layouts of most of the grocery stores and department stores in town. (grin)
My friends in Missouri will be happy to know that in some ways, I am actually LESS blind than when you last saw me, since my cataracts were removed a year ago, though the light sensitivity remains. (Yep, I had another fight with another opthamologist about that (grin)) Why is it low vision specialists get this, but some opthamologists never will? Anyway, I've a referral to a new eye doc who, I'm told, is certain to "get it." As for the "gentleman" who did my cataract surgery? Well, when I wasn't thrilled enough for him at the restoration, he made the mistake of actually saying out loud that I have too much information for my own good. (Sigh) My mother made an indistinct squeaking noise and snatched me out of the office before I did the man an injury. I wish I'd been able to read her facial expression ! (Grin)
Anyway, beyond that, I once again have better knitterly vision and fewer troubles with color matching for the present. But thanks again to everyone at True Blue who kept me from some hideous combinations! (laughing)
This Christmas had some interesting knitterly goodies that I can share only because I know my mother never reads this blog. (Grin)
I've almost finished a long adaptation of the triple cable scarf from OneSkein by Leigh Radford:
Made with lovely leftovers from my niece's semi-adult surprise jacket, it's a beautiful blue that will set off my Mom's eyes and has all the right requirements. Washer/Dryer no shaping or fuss. I find that I love the little details of this pattern: the twisted stitches on the edges, the fact that I increased the cables to five twists, and the lovely simplicity of it. Made in Deborah Norrville's "Everyday Soft Worsted" I know I'll be reaching for this yarn again when making things for those with a blocking impairment or allergy like my mom's.
Continuity. Every few years I knit a gift for my mom that, even when she chooses the yarn and the pattern, she never wears. I'm hoping for a break in THAT continuity this year.
Overall, though, even the breaks in the patterns in my life have a certain continuity to them. The same threads, the same breaks, the same steps for restarting. I like the patterns, the warmth of familiar rebuilding, the knowledge that I have done this, can do this. will undoubtedly do this again.

As you might guess from the title, today's post is about McDonalds, and no, this mom's not loving it. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my fair share of fries over the years, but as anyone who has visited SoGood.tv knows, I'm a huge advocate of home cooking. It is a life skill and if you want to maintain health and some control over what you put in your body, you should at least have the know-how to make simple meals from scratch. It is a matter of having choices and then having some measure of skill to execute those choices. It's all about the informed decision.
So, when I learned that Corporate Accountability International (the entity that brought you the Nestle boycott back in the day) was planning a Mother's Day offensive against McDonalds' marketing to children, I was all in.
Here's why: When huge corporations market directly to children, they are intentionally compromising a parent's ability to make choices for their family's diet.
Imagine this: Your kid says she wants hamburger from McDonald's. You can get in your car, drive to your local franchise and get 2 Big Macs for $5 deal plus the new Happy Meal that is advertised EVERYWHERE, or if cooking is an option, you can go to the grocery store, buy antibiotic/hormone free ground beef ($7/pound) and trans fat GMO free buns ($4) and grill four hamburgers, each equivalent in size to the Quarter Pounder.
You are an informed parent and weigh the pros and cons of each choice. McDonalds is fast, easy and "fun." But it is in no way antibiotic/hormone or GMO free. The sodium/fat/sugar content is higher, though the cost is lower. (Actually, only the price is lower, when you factor in the subsidies, carbon emissions of CAFO's, the actual cost is quite high, but I digress.)
So, confident cook that you are, you make the choice to use a great recipe you saw online and cook beautiful hamburgers at home. Your kid flips out, throws a tantrum and won't eat a bite. You send her to her room, knowing this is not the last time you will have this argument, but at least you have a decent lunch.
Some choice. But because your kid, since the age of two, has been exposed to hours and hours of 900 million dollar multi-media marketing campaigns that view you as a "gatekeeper" to be circumvented, the tantrums should come as no surprise. Not saying McDonalds wants your kid to throw tantrums, not at all, but make no mistake, big food works hard to unleash your kid's "pester power." That's right, an elite cadre of highly trained, highly compensated men and women spend enormous amounts of their professional time, energy and expertise in getting your children to "pester" you to take them to McDonald's. And guess what, it ain't about the hamburger.
From Ronald McDonald, to Happy Meals toys, interactive websites, apps, and facebook pages, McDonalds is gaming your choice when it comes to feeding your family, and they are using your kids to do it. Lacking the cognitive maturity (or cynicism) to understand that they are being marketed to, children will, indeed, "pester," day in and day out for that McDonalds Happy Meal toy; the burger or nuggets are an after thought.
If you relent thinking one happy meal isn't going to hurt you (and it won't,) just know there is no end. Before you know it, there will be a new Barbie or Disney or Hot Wheels toy, another app game, and a new shiny bill board, so the lobbying, (euphemistically called pestering) starts all over again, just as McDonalds' expected. So nope, this mom's not loving it!
Let's be clear, all the swirling vegetable games, stadium sponsorships, the commercials featuring farmers, the now-defunct school literacy programs, and Ronald McDonald branded report card rewards are designed to make kids and parents feel better, no, feel good, about choosing to eat junk.
And if you are looking for federal regulators to regulate marketing to children as they did with cigarettes and Joe the Camel, don't bother. For a myriad of reasons that make sense only within the beltway, the Federal Trade Commission's reach is limited to voluntary restrictions. And by choosing to comply with the voluntary restrictions, McDonalds and other participating QSRs (Quick Service Restaurants) can pat themselves on the back by cherry picking some stats from the FTC Report, while downplaying the troubling ones.
The good news is that food companies have reduced their television advertising. The bad news is that online ad spending has increased by 50%, and heavily integrated campaigns are the new normal. As any blogger knows, you get a lot more bang for your buck when you advertise online, the rates are WAY cheaper. Thanks to another voluntary "pledge" program, this one created by the Better Business Buerau QSRs can "opt in" to a pledge of improving nutrition. It's their choice!
McDonalds Happy Meals now include apples and low fat milk options. They have reduced sodium, and their websites and commercials promote exercise. They are on a Nutrition Journey to be completed by 2020! That is improvement. A serving of (GMO?) apples is better than no apples, but that does not mean happy meals are good nutrition. Far from it. Of course, not using pink slime anymore is better than it was, too. But really, one could only go up from there. Even McDonalds couldn't spin removal of pink slime into a direct marketing ploy. They limited the announcement to a press release, and the age-old practice of having the press interview their spokespeople. It worked. (Don't get me started on the Registered Dieticans, but, again, I digress.)
Of course, there is push back, just like with the soda tax. They cry Nanny State! Individual rights! And my favorite, "it is not our job to parent your children." Well, if parents had a 900 million dollar integrated multi-media marketing campaign that extolled the benefits of eating real food, I'd agree. We don't, so cut it out.
I have no illusions that McDonalds has single handedly caused our current obesity epidemic. Individuals must also take responsibility, get informed and make changes. Still, much lies at the feet of our sprawling industrial food complex. Because of an incredible web of federal laws, lack of regulation, inadequate oversight and byzantine subsidies, good nutrition is at direct odds with shareholders profits. This mother's day, McDonalds gets the heat because they are an industry leader, dare I say pioneer. I am simply asking McDonalds to lead, innovate and use their powers for good. Stop marketing to our kids, get the toys out of the meals and Retire Ronald. (Keep the apples, though. Just label them if they are GMO. Again, I digress.)

I shot this a while back for an audition/contest (didn't get it) but never posted it because I have a similarly yummy recipe made with the now utterly unaffordable red snapper.
I'm posting it now because I briefly touch on same ideas I'm reading in the new and thus far quite excellent book titled Cooked by Michael Pollan. Pollan frequently references Richard Wrangtham's Catching Fire How Cooking Made Us Human, a book I found completely life-changing and cannot recommend highly enough.
Long story short, their message (and mine) is that cooking and sharing food is a profoundly important component of our lives. It literally makes us human, so do it. Real cooking is better for you, cheaper, and when done with a little skill, mad good to eat.
If you want to get your wine one try something with a little body like a California Sauvignon Blanc or a white Cote du Rhone. Yum-my! Be well, hj

As refiners started running, crude oil came back on an inventory miss and a surging stock market, RBOB got whacked. Forget the calendar, RBOB and ultra-low sulfur diesel are going in opposite directions as the Energy Information Administration report is helping to confirm the call that I made in February that the top for gasoline is more than likely in for the year. As I wrote Feb. 15 in an article I titled, "Top of the Tank," "RBOB gasoline futures exploded but it is possible that we could be seeing a blow-off top. A silly surge on talk of refining issues and talk of tight gasoline blending components sent prices flying. Yet the lack of follow through with the crude oil and heating oil may mean that this historic run on gas on the upside may soon be coming to an end."
RBOB has not looked back since. Yesterday the Energy Information Administration reported refineries operated at 86.8% of their operable capacity last week. Gasoline production decreased last week, averaging about 8.8 million barrels per day. Yet while gasoline production fell back a bit from its seasonally high rate, imports to the East and West Coast helped create a big surge in gasoline supply. The Energy Information Administration reported that total motor gasoline inventories increased by 1.7 million barrels last week and are at the upper limit of the average range. Finished gasoline inventories decreased while blending components inventories increased last week.
Yet oil failed to match up with building expectations and fell far short of the weekly net change number that the American Petroleum Institute report gave us. It took a surging stock market for oil to come back and shake off the wildly bearish gasoline build.
Distillate fuel inventories, on the other hand, decreased by 0.2 million barrels last week and are in the lower half of the average range for this time of year. Which means that in a weird way this report sent the same message as the report we had last week, especially for the old widow maker spread otherwise known as the RBOB/heating oil spread. Last week traders were warned when I wrote April 3, "….Strong refining runs and an abundance of crude is making gasoline the weakest of the petroleum sector. The pain that we experienced during the historic run up in February probably is the reason that gas is falling today. Early forced maintenance and weak demand and an abundance of crude should mean that we will be in much better shape as we head into this summer driving season." I guess you could say that again. And I did!
The other thing that I can say again is that the natural gas market continues to suggest a long term bottom. Today that strength may be coming from what should be another draw on supply and the fact that winter in some parts of the country refuses to go away quietly.
Yet longer term I continue to talk about the surge in the demand curve that is now exceeding production increases. One example comes from "Sir Duke" or Duke Energy that said yesterday, "Celebrated the opening of the Dan River Natural Gas Combined Cycle Station in Eden, N.C. Located in Rockingham County, the state-of-the-art plant has an electric capacity of 620 megawatts (MW). The new station is part of the company's modernization effort to retire older, less-efficient coal plants and replace them with cleaner-burning natural gas-fueled units – resulting in decreased emissions and higher efficiency. Capable of powering approximately a half-million homes, the natural gas combined-cycle plant has nearly doubled the capacity of the older coal units that were retired on the site in 2012."
As I wrote Jan. 16, "While natural gas seems to have broken up into its December trading range from its lower first half of January trading range, the longer term strips seems to suggest that it might be time to be thinking about a long term bottom. That is not to say that in the short term, in the next year so, that natural gas might not slip below $3.00 or even $2 for a short term, if you are looking 2 to 20 years out it might be time to start locking in prices. Bids across the time scale seems like players would be thrilled to lock in anything below $4. Maybe it's time to start looking at far out bullish natural gas strategies."
The New York Times reports today the, "Energy Department is preparing to test a new way for solar power to make electricity: Using the sun's heat to increase the energy content of natural gas. Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash., hope by this summer to carry out the test, which entails a process that could cut the amount of natural gas used — and the greenhouse gasses emitted — by 20%. "We can reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and the consumer doesn't get hit," said Robert Wegeng, the researcher in charge of the project."
The system is a marriage of chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. The process will work anywhere it is sunny, according to researchers, although it might be more valuable in places where natural gas is relatively expensive, or where a company making electricity would be paid for generating less carbon dioxide. The project, financed with $4.5 million in federal stimulus money, is still in development, and experts say the technology's costs have yet to be established. The process also is several major steps away from commercial viability. A must read!
