A little way back I came across a book by Patty Wipfler, called Listen: Five Simple Tools to Meet Your Everyday Parenting Challenges. Being a "single mom" (yes, I remarried recently but my son is my parental duty and sole responsibility and he will always be) I always worry about being able to give him the tools for him to become a well-rounded adult. Parenting is not easy, even less so when done by only one parent, I always joke how babies don't come with manuals and how it would be much easier if they did.
Anyway, I will review the book at a later date but for now, I want to leave you with this guest post that Patty has prepared for all of you.
What Are the Five Simple Tools You Need
to Meet Your Everyday Parenting Challenges?
By Patty Wipfler, Hand in Hand Parenting
Listen: Five Simple Tools to Meet Your Everyday Parenting Challenges. Copyright © Hand in Hand Parenting, 2016
Each of the five Hand in Hand Listening Tools plays an important role in building wellbeing for your family. The tools work together to connect you and your children. And your child's developing mind needs a close sense of connection with you as surely as she needs food, shelter, cleanliness, and sleep.
Special Time is a simple way to pour love and attention into your child. You set aside one-on-one time, and let your child choose what the two of you will do. She will use this time to show you what's important to her and reveal her struggles. Special Time lets your child feel seen. It deepens her trust in you, while giving you a window into her thinking. It builds the sense of safety that promotes cooperation. Special Time can help connect you and your child from her earliest years through her adolescence, young adulthood, and beyond. It's almost always the first Listening Tool to reach for when you're thinking, "I don't know what to do with this kid!"
Staylistening transmits your caring while your child feels hurt or afraid, and is expressing intense feelings. She pours out the hurt she feels; you listen, and pour in your quiet confidence that she'll recover. You protect her while she feels alone and undone. Listening to your child's upset doesn't mean approving of her feelings; it's your way of bathing her in your caring during her toughest moments. As her feelings pour out, an emotional burden will lift, and she'll be left with the deep imprint of your love and support in its place. Both you and she will learn that feelings of hurt will heal when someone listens and cares. Because most of us were not listened to in this way, Staylistening can be challenging for a parent. But this tool has the power to lift your child's spirits and transform bothersome behavior.
Setting Limits is crucial in your work as a parent. Your child needs and deserves a limit the minute her behavior starts to veer off track. A good limit gives your child the chance to offload the emotional tension that clouds her behavior, so she can return to the fun of learning and enjoying those around her. We'll help you recognize the early warning signals your child sends out, and show you how to set limits without harshness. There are even ways to bring a limit that will fill your child with laughter.
Playlistening is the art of eliciting laughter in play with your child, without tickling. A heartwarming, creative tool, it will strengthen your connection as you make time for fun and enjoyment. Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress. Your child's confidence will build as you learn to instigate playful role reversal and games full of friendly challenge and affection. Laughter will foster warmth in your family.
Finally, the Listening Partnership gives you a way to replenish your energy for parenting. An exchange of listening time with another parent can help you shed the stress that crops up when you live with young children. A Listening Partnership also gives you a haven for learning. You get a safe, private place to unfold your thoughts and feelings. How do you want your parenting to be different from the way you were raised? What gifts from your parents do you want to pass on? When you find yourself struggling with your child over a particular issue, how does your own past experience come into play? You'll also have the privilege of listening to another parent as they think, feel, and learn. You won't exchange advice, but you'll learn from one another every time you meet. As you listen and are listened to, you'll find it easier to enjoy your children, and to connect warmly with them during their troubled moments.
So there you have it!
Each tool is powerful in its own right, but no one tool is meant to be used alone. Setting limits—your use of parental power—is tempered with Special Time, which puts your child in the driver's seat for short chunks of time. Playlistening, the lighthearted side of parent-child interactions, helps to balance out the full-throated drama your child goes through as you Staylisten. Your Listening Partnership is a vital learning laboratory, as well as your sanctuary. There, you are respected and understood. Your every feeling is welcome, every experience is of interest, and every thought, an important one.
With these five Hand in Hand Listening Tools, you can fully express your deep love for your kids and strengthen your family life. Enjoy!

If there's one thing teenagers love, it's the snooze button.
And as early as September, some high schoolers in Miami-Dade public schools could get the chance to use it more often — on school days, not just on weekends. The school district is considering testing later class hours. If adopted, Miami-Dade would join a growing number of schools listening to emerging science that argues it is biology, not laziness, that turns so many teens into morning zombies.
Stephan Chamberlin, 16, who will be a junior at Coral Gables Senior High this fall, gives the idea an A. Like at other Miami-Dade high schools, his day starts at 7:20 a.m., which Chamberlin described as an "ungodly hour of the morning." He wakes up at 6 a.m. but some of his classmates wake up as early as 5 a.m.
Miami-Dade is only a few months into the process, just starting to consider which, if any, high schools might participate in a pilot program. The challenge is that while the science is straightforward, changing school hours is anything but.

Luis Diaz, who is leading the pilot project for Miami-Dade school operations, likened it to playing dominos — one move creating a cascade of effects .
Not all after-school activities can be pushed later, particularly sports of outdoor activities that might require lighting. Bus routes, which are staggered to accommodate elementary, middle and high schools, would be affected. So would adult education programs, which often start right after school. The change would also affect the schedules of school employees and students' families.
"If it's feasible and can work, the school has buy-in and it's something the community believes in, it's something we would push for, 100 percent," Diaz said. "We want to make sure that if the change takes place it won't have any distracting factors to schools that are operating; that it'll have a positive impact on the schools that are involved."
Diaz spearheaded an effort to research potential effects, polling about 100 students as well as staff members from each of the seven district high schools that could be candidates. Based on the results, Diaz, a former high school principal, and other administrators will consider whether to proceed.
Though the logistics are tricky, the science behind the shift is strong.
The central contradiction is that while teens need more sleep, they also tend to go to bed later – and not just because they're up late on Facebook, according to Alberto Ramos, co-director of the Sleep Medicine Program at the University of Miami Medical School and assistant professor of clinical neurology.
Teens staying up until 4 a.m. aren't just being rebellious – they may just not feel sleepy until that time, Ramos said. Anywhere from 7 to 16 percent of teens have delayed sleep phase syndrome, meaning their internal clock makes them ready to go to bed only at late hours. At minimum, teens require more than nine hours of sleep – adults need seven – but some require up to 12 hours, Ramos said. The problem can be exacerbated by the use of computers and smartphones before bedtime.
Combine those factors with a high school start time of 7 a.m. and, Ramos said, "we can assume most adolescents are sleep-deprived when they go to school."
Traditional early school start times could result in inattention in class, and as a result, poor performance, along with irritability and reliance on stimulants like caffeine, according to Ramos. If students drive to school, early starts can even become dangerous.
"There's evidence that by imposing our schedules upon adolescents we may actually be endangering them to some extent," Ramos said. "I've seen patients in high school and their parents tell me that first and second periods are useless for them. They don't pay attention at all, they sleep through it – and these are good students."
Though late starts are by no means the standard, there are schools in 42 states — including Minnesota, North Carolina and, more recently, California — that have already pushed back class hours, citing the negative outcomes of sleep deprivation as their motivation. Miami-Dade, the fourth-largest school system in the country, joins school districts in Maryland and Virginia as the latest to consider shifting the class clock back a bit.
If some high schools in Miami-Dade adopt later starts, it could go into effect as early as the 2014-15 academic year. Proposed start times are still unclear, but across the country schools that have made the change have started anywhere from 8 a.m. to as late as noon, Ramos said.
Diaz said he will present his findings to the assistant superintendent of school operations to determine "which schools, if any, will work with the pilot program." They will then present that decision to the superintendent and top leadership.
The proposal is still far from definite. Not everyone supports delaying school start times. Critics say the change leaves students less time in the afternoons for extracurricular activities. They argue that students have been going to high school early in the morning for many years.
Still, though delaying start times could have tradeoffs, supporters say having a well-rested student body is more important. A 2011 Brookings Institute report on the matter, estimating the ratio of benefits to costs at 9 to 1, recommended the change.
Until then, Chamberlin, the Coral Gables junior, may have to continue indulging in what he called his "guilty pleasure" — sitting at the back of class and dozing.
"I have fallen asleep in class. I do frequently get distracted because I am sleep deprived, especially after long hours of doing homework. It's a serious problem," he said. "I've seen kids almost comically drift off to sleep and do the head-nodding thing where they're kind of half asleep in class."
Chamberlin described early start times as a waste of both students' and teachers' time.
"It's counterproductive," he said.

The Gust
The marble nymphs spill the water from the fountain through the mouth of their carved pitchers. They are seated at the edge of the jasper cup and they gather and pour the directed waves by means of an artifice. The water poured from the carved pitchers animates the shade, sonorously wounding the ground.
The heroines of unhappy love gather in that spot at the same hour, for the confidence of their sorrows. A higher will locks them in the humid garden, where glimpses of a cardinal light play.
They alternately refer to the story of their misfortune and add lamentable canticles.
The heroines release a scream and launch themselves in several directions when they feel the birth of a distant roar. The passing of a misty gust dissolves the fantastical garden and its violet gloss, and leaves in its place a darkness full of moans.
Las formas del fuego (1929)

Press Releases
The United States Needs a Thoughtful Energy Policy
Washington, August 29, 2013
Tags: Energy
By Congressman Mike Simpson
"Since President Obama's first presidential campaign, he has said that he supports an "all of the above" strategy for our nation's energy policy. This is a popular phrase used by Members of Congress across the political spectrum in recent years. That is because there is a consensus that a growing and thriving economy requires stable and affordable energy supplies that come from diverse sources. In order to achieve this, our energy portfolio must include the traditional energy source like nuclear, hydro, coal, oil, and natural gas as well as incorporating more recent technologies that allow us to harness more renewable sources like wind, solar, geothermal, and others.
"Unfortunately, President Obama's rhetoric does not match his policies. In the nearly five years that he has been President, his Administration has offered more roadblocks than solutions to advancing our country toward energy independence. For example, although our country still heavily relies on imported oil, the Obama Administration continues to block permits for increased domestic energy production on our public lands with a myriad of bureaucratic hurdles and red tape.
"We have the capacity to become energy independent if we can align our policies with safe development of our own resources. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the United States has enough natural gas that is technically recoverable to sustain current consumption levels for over 90 years. In fact, as a result of oil and gas production on non-federal land, during the years of 2011 and 2012, the United States added a total of more than 850,000 barrels per day of oil production. The Congressional Research Service has reported that U.S. oil production has reached levels not seen in more than a decade. On the other hand, between 2007-2012, U.S. oil production fell by almost seven percent on federal lands, where approval from the Obama Administration is necessary.
"Not only does increasing our domestic production of energy enhance our national security by allowing us to rely less on foreign sources of energy, it also creates jobs. The U.S. Energy Information Administration recently released a report that shows a major spike in employment in the oil and gas industry relative to the rest of private sector employment. The report found that from 2007-2012, 'total U.S. private sector employment increased by more than one million jobs, about one percent. Over the same period, the oil and natural gas industry increased by more than 162,000 jobs, a 40 percent increase.'
"One way that President Obama could demonstrate that he truly supports an "all of the above" strategy would be to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. A new study released last week confirmed what the State Department's initial assessment already found: the Keystone XL pipeline will not impact greenhouse gas emissions. If this project does not move forward, Canadian oil sands will make their way to market through alternative means. That would result in nothing more than a missed opportunity for billions dollars of investment, thousands of jobs created, and an unquestionable boost to the American economy.
"As a nation, we must continue looking for ways to reduce energy prices and improve our energy independence. I strongly believe that our efforts should be comprehensive in nature and that we should explore every opportunity to develop viable traditional as well as alternative energy sources. I hope that the President can embrace a more realistic approach to our nation's energy policy by taking steps towards realizing the potential of our own energy abundance. By easing his Administration's burdensome policies, we can decrease unemployment while increasing our national security; two things that should be a priority for all of us."

So ive heard so much about how diet soda and artificial sweeteners are worse for you then actual soda and cane sugar. What do you guys think?
They are both terrible! The easiest way to give up soda is to replace it with something you like and is widely available. I like hot tea (keep a few teabags in your purse), or iced if I make it (Arizona might as well be called soda), coffee no sugar, mineral water when I am at home, and soda water with lemon or lime when I go to a restraunt. I don't drink juice (we could compare sugars, but fructose is still sugar) unless it came out of my juicer, and even then, it is usually mostly vegatables. Of course nothing beats water.
Ive been using these little water flaver packets to make the water taste sweet and I drink a lotbof unsweetened tea.
Remember this with any "diet" product, whatever they are taking out, wether it be, sugar, fat, or so on, what chemicals are going in to replace it?
Trust me, if it says diet, you don't want it in your diet! Also I find carbonated mineral water a healthy replacement, and you still get that tactile feel of bubbles.
Hi! There is a brand new sweetender and it,s all natural, it,s called STEVIA. I think you can maybe google it.

Answer: There are a variety of issues that may be causing you to have this Unhandled Exception problem. Please read through the list below for some possible solutions.
--If cheat codes have been used, and you have saved your game after the cheat code has been used (even if you disabled the cheat before saving), there is a strong possibility that the data used in that save game has become corrupted; this will sometimes cause an Unhandled Exception error if you try to load the game. We recommend that if you feel it necessary to use cheats, you should not save the game. These cause a number of unpredictable results, and basically take the game out of our control. Delete any save games that have had cheat codes used in them.
--A third-party feature pack for streaming video files, called "Nimo Codec Pack," has been known to cause a number of different problems when trying to install and run GTA: Vice City. If you do have this installed, we recommend uninstalling the Nimo Codec Pack, then try to install the game.
If you are certain you do not have the Nimo Codec Pack installed, and you have not used any cheat codes while loading or playing your saved games, please try the following solutions in order:
1.) Completely uninstall the game.
2.) Delete the main default game folder: C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA Vice City
3.) Delete the default installshield folder: C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information If you do not see this folder then do the following:
Open windows explorer, go to VIEW or TOOLS, FOLDER OPTIONS, VIEW then click on the circle next to show all files. Press APPLY this then press OK you will now see the folder (it is grayed out) .
4.) Delete the save game folder in your 'My Documents' folder called 'GTA Vice City User Files.'
5.) You now will need to do a registry clean to make sure no game files were left during the uninstall. The easiest way to do this is to download a program called Regcleaner. You can download the program from here:http://www.pcmedixwebs.com/regclean.htm
6.) Reboot your system.
7.) Do a scandisk and quick defrag of your hard drive.
8.) Lower your desktop resolution for troubleshooting purposes. The game is best installing and playing the game. Go to Start, Settings, then Control Panel. Double-click the Display icon then, click the Settings Tab. For the Color Palette setting, select 16-bit High colors. (Do not use 24 or 32 bit color modes) For the Desktop Area, set it to 800 x 600. Click Apply, and restart the system if prompted.
9.) Double check your monitor settings:
A.) For Windows 9x/ME Users: Check your monitor settings by Right-clicking on the Desktop and choose Properties from the menu. Click the Settings tab, then the Advanced Properties button. Click the Monitor tab (this may say ´Unknown, Standard or Default´). Click the Change button, and after Windows builds the driver information database, select the proper monitor type (Plug And Play is usually the correct choice; check with your monitor or system manufacturer if you are unsure). Click Apply, then Ok or Close, and restart the system when prompted. Make sure only one monitor is listed and not two. Remove any other ones listed that are not the true monitor you have connected to your computer now.
B.) For Windows 2000/XP Users: First begin by right clicking on your desktop where there are no icons located and left click the Properties option. Select the Settings tab. Toward the bottom you will see a button labeled ´Advanced´. Hit that button, then select the Monitor tab. Located in that screen is a ´Properties´ button. Hit that button, then select the Driver tab. Hit the ´Update Driver´ button located in that column of buttons. The ´Hardware Update Wizard´ will now open.
On the first screen of the Wizard, there are two options that can be chosen by placing a bullet next to the selection. The default option is ´Install software automatically (Recommended)´. Please change that to the other option, which reads ´Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)´ by clicking on the sentence and placing a bullet there. Now hit the ´Next´ button.On the next screen, the Wizard will ask for your search and installation options. The selection defaults to ´Search for the best driver in these locations. ´Please change that to ´Don´t search. I will choose the driver to install´ by placing a bullet next to that option. Hit the ´Next´ button. If the Plug and Play option is there, please click on it and then hit the ´Next´ button. This will change your monitor setting to Plug and Play. If the Plug and Play option is not there, then please uncheck the box that says ´Show compatible hardware´. This will change the screen slightly to show a Manufacturer´s column, which you should change to (Standard Monitor Types). You may need to scroll up or down to do so. To the right of that, there will be a Model column. Once you have selected (Standard Monitor Types), you will now be able to choose Plug and Play under the Model section. When you have done that, please click the ´Next´ button. This will change your monitor setting to Plug and Play.
10.) Close or disable all background programs running including anti-virus, scanner software, online chat software & direct cd type programs.
11.) Reinstall GTA Vice City, then start the game.
This error has also been fixed by turning off the antialiasing feature in the GeForce Properties window. To do this:

CHICAGO - Most working-age women in the United States have too little health coverage, and often forgo needed care because of cost, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
They found that seven out of 10 women have no insurance, not enough insurance or are in debt because of medical bills.
"More families are making difficult choices between needed health care, making payments on mortgages or credit card debt and purchasing basic necessities," said Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund, a private health policy group that conducted the research.
President Barack Obama renewed his push for healthcare reform on Monday at a joint appearance with the American Medical Association, America's Health Insurance Plans and the American Hospital Association. The trade groups have pledged to reduce the annual growth of health spending by 1.5 percentage points, which they say will save $2 trillion over 10 years.
Members of Congress who will shepherd healthcare reform through the process have promised to have a bill by the end of the year.
The Commonwealth Fund team said rising health costs hit women harder because they have lower average incomes and spend more on healthcare than men, and because they use the health system more often than men.
The report was based on telephone surveys of 2,600 adults aged 19 to 64 between June and October 2007.
It found that 70 percent, or 63.8 million, working-age women are uninsured, underinsured, have medical bill problems or medical debt, or did not access needed care because of cost. That compared with 59 percent, or 51.9 million, working-age men.
The team also found that 52 percent of women were more likely to leave a prescription unfilled, skip a recommended medical test or treatment, or fail to seek needed medical care. That compared with just 39 percent of men.
And they found that 45 percent of women had medical debt or reported problems paying medical bills, compared with 36 percent of men.
Because the study is based on a 2007 survey, the researchers said it likely underestimates the problem because it does not account for the full impact of the current economic recession and job cuts.
An estimated 46 million Americans lack health insurance.

Subjects under the influence of power, [Keltner] found in studies spanning two decades, acted as if they had suffered a traumatic brain injury—becoming more impulsive, less risk-aware, and, crucially, less adept at seeing things from other people's point of view…
…And when [Obhi] put the heads of the powerful and the not-so-powerful under a transcranial-magnetic-stimulation machine, he found that power, in fact, impairs a specific neural process, "mirroring," that may be a cornerstone of empathy. Which gives a neurological basis to what Keltner has termed the "power paradox": Once we have power, we lose some of the capacities we needed to gain it in the first place.

Terriers Breeds - The Bull Terrier
The Bull Terrier
The Bull-terrier is now a gentlemanly and respectably owned dog, wearing an immaculate white coat and a burnished silver collar; he has dealings with aristocracy, and is no longer contemned for keeping bad company. But a generation or two ago he was commonly the associate of rogues and vagabonds, skulking at the heels of such members of society as Mr. William Sikes, whom he accompanied at night on darksome business to keep watch outside while Bill was within, cracking the crib. In those days the dog's ears were closely cropped, not for the sake of embellishment, but as a measure of protection against the fangs of his opponent in the pit when money was laid upon the result of a well-fought fight to the death.
For fighting was the acknowledged vocation of his order, and he was bred and trained to the work. He knew something of rats, too, and many of his kind were famed in the land for their prowess in this direction. Jimmy Shaw's Jacko could finish off sixty rats in three minutes, and on one occasion made a record by killing a thousand in a trifle over an hour and a half.
The breed is sufficiently modern to leave no doubt as to its derivation. In the first quarter of the nineteenth century attention was being directed to the improvement of terriers generally, and new types were sought for. They were alert, agile little dogs, excellent for work in the country; but the extravagant Corinthians of the time--the young gamesters who patronised the prize-ring and the cock-pit--desired to have a dog who should do something more than kill rats, or unearth the fox, or bolt the otter: which accomplishments afforded no amusement to the Town.
They wanted a dog combining all the dash and gameness of the terrier with the heart and courage and fighting instinct of the Bulldog. Wherefore the terrier and the Bulldog were crossed. A large type of terrier was chosen, and this would be the smooth-coated Black and Tan, or the early English White Terrier; but probably both were used indifferently, and for a considerable period. The result gave the young bucks what they required: a dog that was at once a determined vermin killer and an intrepid fighter, upon whose skill in the pit wagers might with confidence be laid.
The animal, however, was neither a true terrier nor a true Bulldog, but an uncompromising mongrel; albeit he served his immediate purpose, and was highly valued for his pertinacity, if not for his appearance.
Gradually the Bulldog element, at first pronounced, was reduced to something like a fourth degree, and, with the terrier character predominating, the head was sharpened, the limbs were lengthened and straightened until little remained of the Bulldog strain but the dauntless heart and the fearless fighting spirit, together with the frequent reversion to brindle colouring, which was the last outward and visible characteristic to disappear.
Within the remembrance of men not yet old the Bull-terrier was as much marked with fawn, brindle, or even black, as are the Fox-terriers of our own period. But fifty years or so ago white was becoming frequent, and was much admired. A strain of pure white was bred by James Hinks, a well-known dog-dealer of Birmingham, and it is no doubt to Hinks that we are indebted for the elegant Bull-terrier of the type that we know to-day. These Birmingham dogs showed a refinement and grace and an absence of the crook-legs and coloured patches which betrayed that Hinks had been using an out-cross with the English White Terrier, thus getting away further still from the Bulldog.
The president of the Kennel Club, Mr. S. E. Shirley, M. P., had himself been a prominent owner and breeder of the Bull-terrier. His Nelson, bred by Joe Willock, was celebrated as an excellent example of the small-sized terrier, at a time, however, when there were not a great many competitors of the highest quality. His Dick, also, was a remarkably good dog. Earlier specimens which have left their names in the history of the breed were Hinks's Old Dutch, who was, perhaps, even a more perfect terrier than the same breeder's Madman and Puss.
Lancashire and Yorkshire have always been noted for good Bull-terriers, and the best of the breed have usually been produced in the neighbourhoods of Leeds, Bradford, Manchester, Bolton, and Liverpool, while Birmingham also shared in the reputation. At one time Londoners gave careful attention to the breed, stimulated thereto by the encouragement of Mr. Shirley and the success of Alfred George.
Of recent years the Bull-terrier has not been a great favourite, and it has sadly deteriorated in type; but there are signs that the variety is again coming into repute, and within the past two years many admirable specimens--as nearly perfect, perhaps, as many that won honour in former generations--have been brought into prominence. Among dogs, for example, there are Mr. E. T. Pimm's Sweet Lavender, Dr. M. Amsler's MacGregor, Mr. Chris Houlker's His Highness, and Mr. J. Haynes' Bloomsbury Young King. Among bitches there are Mrs. Kipping's Delphinium Wild and Desdemona, Mr. Hornby's Lady Sweetheart, Mr. W. Mayor's Mill Girl, Mr. T. Gannaway's Charlwood Belle, Dr. J. W. Low's Bess of Hardwicke, and Mrs. E. G. Money's Eastbourne Tarqueenia. While these and such as these beautiful and typical terriers are being bred and exhibited there is no cause to fear a further decline in popularity for a variety so eminently engaging.
The general appearance of the Bull-terrier is that of a symmetrical animal, the embodiment of agility, grace, elegance, and determination. HEAD--The head should be long, flat, and wide between the ears, tapering to the nose, without cheek muscles. There should be a slight indentation down the face, without a stop between the eyes. The jaws should be long and very powerful, with a large black nose and open nostrils. Eyes small and very black, almond shape preferred. The lips should meet as tightly as possible, without a fold. The teeth should be regular in shape, and should meet exactly; any deviation, such as pigjaw, or being underhung, is a great fault. EARS--The ears, when cropped, should be done scientifically and according to fashion. Cropped dogs cannot win a prize at shows held under Kennel Club rules, if born after March 31st, 1895. When not cropped, it should be a semi-erect ear, but others do not disqualify. NECK--The neck should be long and slightly arched, nicely set into the shoulders tapering to the head without any loose skin, as found in the Bulldog. SHOULDERS--The shoulders should be strong, muscular, and slanting; the chest wide and deep, with ribs well rounded. BACK--The back short and muscular, but not out of proportion to the general contour of the animal. LEGS--The fore-legs should be perfectly straight, with well-developed muscles; not out at shoulder, but set on the racing lines, and very strong at the pastern joints. The hind-legs are long and, in proportion to the fore-legs, muscular, with good strong, straight hocks, well let down near the ground. FEET--The feet more resemble those of a cat than a hare. COLOUR--Should be white. COAT--Short, close, and stiff to the touch, with a fine gloss. TAIL--Short in proportion to the size of the dog, set on very low down, thick where it joins the body, and tapering to a fine point. It should be carried at an angle of about 45 degrees, without curl, and never over the back. HEIGHT AT SHOULDERS--From 12 to 18 inches. WEIGHT--From 15 lb. to 50 lb.
You're very welcome :D The rest of the hub is great!
Nice hub, however, the picture isn't a Bull Terrier. A Bull Terrier has a very distinct egg shaped head. Also the tail is too thick and the hair on the end is wrong, Bull Terriers have thin tails that taper at the end. The picture looks more like an American Pit Bull Terrier and from the picture it looks like a mix, possibly an American Pit Bull Terrier or Bull Terrier mix. The ears are wrong for a pit bull (even if they were cropped, which they don't appear to be from the picture) and again the tail is wrong for the same reasons listed for the Bull Terrier.

It is that time of month again when our group meets and shares quilts and then we have a fabulous trunk show. It's a standing joke that it puts me in the "mood." It always does. I am surrounded by the most incredibly talented women who share their love of quilting with each other.Then I want to go home and quilt.
The quilt above and below are both by my wonderfully talented friend Paula. The one above is a blackbird design quilt in a book called "Birds of a Feather." The one below is "Oh My Gosh" and that is exactly what it is. It is fabulous!
bee in my bonnnet. All those little aprons are hand appliquéd.
Amber from Gigi's Thimble. She used a Riley Blake Designs line called Daydream by Cyndi Walker of Stitch Studio.
Broadbents where flora met these ladies and invited them to come and share their talent.
I hope you enjoyed all these wonderful quilts. There were more. It was a great trunk show. Hope this inspired you to quilt, sew, cook, clean, organize and just enjoy creating . I've got to get back to getting ready for quilt market. There is a lot to finish.

(Note: we corrected the spelling in the thread title to make it more easily found in searches. -- The Chowhound Team)
Ch'ers. Wow. I am AMAZED that in this week with all of this vitriol toward moma Dean (the confession, the drug contract, the cheeseburger photo, etc.) NO ONE has taken the time to post about the clear direction the Dean clan is taking...
Not My Moma's Meals...
I have seen two episodes so far. I almost never catch PD's show (not my style, not my calorie level, etc. all hashed ad nauseum on this site), but watched this particularly due to all the flap.
I will say, he is a bit wooden in front of the camera, and meh, the food seems like it could really use some salt, seasonings, etc. but I admire the effort. Baked not fried pies. Greek yogurt in place of mayo to re-hab a pimenteo cheese sandwich...
The MOST interesting part, to me, is that his mom shows up in cameo at the begining/end, and the second show I saw - in person, and Paula seems very natural, and VERY skeptical of the taste changes he is making, then, she is at least on camera, won over at the changes in the recipe profiles.
I know this is SO timed to arrive on camera deep in the midst of all this contraversy, but should'nt we all here ADRESS this attempt at redemption and change on her family's part?
Perhaps she is really trying to turn the tiller of a very large boat, and it takes some time? Maybe, like many, she is so entrenched in 'the world she created' that it has been hard for her to imagine/ re-imagine all those recipes with saturated fat and sugar or stop eating them - oh, pushing them too?
Not sayin' that she is any kind of saint ( in fact, a very, very savvy marketing person with that titanic of endorsements at her stern), but seems to me that this show and what it says - or doesn't - should be a topic maybe of more value than that TMZ cheeseburger photo.
Just sayin'.

IMEC and CEA-LETI launch ePIXfab as a cost-effective silicon photonics prototyping service
|(Nanowerk News) IMEC and CEA-LETI launch ePIXfab, the continuation of their successful multi-project wafer silicon photonics prototyping service started in 2006. Co-funded by the European Union through the Seventh Framework Program and coordinated by IMEC, ePIXfab aims at reducing the large barriers for access to and market take-up of silicon photonics technology by focusing on reduced cost, risk and design effort, education, and roadmapping.
|With their joint initiative ePIXfab, IMEC and CEA-LETI continue to offer a cost-effective way for researchers and SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) to prototype photonic integrated circuits in silicon. ePIXfab organizes shuttle (also called multi project wafer) fabrication runs with IMEC and LETI wafer-scale technologies, including 193nm deep-UV lithography-based processes. Now, IMEC and LETI have agreed to significantly extend this service to enable a broader market take-up of silicon photonic IC technology. Dedicated prototyping and small-volume manufacturing is also possible based on IMEC or LETI technology.
|A wider offering
|Starting in September 2008, the PhotonFAB project will provide the ePIXfab service with a more extensive technology portfolio, new design libraries, education and training for the clients, a shuttle service roadmap and a more streamlined operation. Funded by the European Union as a FP7 Support Action, PhotonFAB will in this way lower the design effort, risk and bare costs for the clients. In addition, clients from countries fully associated to the FP7 program will be able to get additional cost reductions for the shuttle service and training activities.
|Silicon photonics IC technology enables versatile and highly functional integrated circuits that handle light information. Photonic integrated circuits are used in applications such as communication networks, sensors, monitoring and bio-analysis. Using silicon allows to increase the functionality of a photonic chip by several orders of magnitude. By manufacturing with CMOS technology, the chips are reliable and can be used in volume applications.
|Since 2006, thanks to the collaboration between IMEC and CEA-LETI, over 25 academic and SME groups have been able to perform their research and develop their IC technology in a fabless way with reduced costs, by joining many IC designs in a single fabrication run.
|Information sessions
|ePIXfab will organize two information sessions for its fabrication service and on the PhotonFAB project: one at the IEEE Group IV Photonics conference, September 17-19 2008, Sorrento, Italy, and a second one at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication 2008 (ECOC), September 21-25 2008, Brussels, Belgium Detailed information on these events and the ePIXfab services is available from www.epixfab.eu

Skip to comments.Ministers refuse to mark Waterloo: Campaigners say Government do not want to offend France
Posted on 06/13/2013 7:42:48 PM PDT by Tennessee Nana
Tt is often regarded as the British Armys greatest military victory.
Led into battle by the Duke of Wellington, UK troops routed Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, a triumph ushering in almost a century of peace and stability in Europe.
But the Government is refusing to mark the battles 200th anniversary in 2015 amid suspicions it does not want to offend France.
Brussels is spending at least £20million on commemorative events, including restoring the battlefield.
James Morrow, secretary of Waterloo 200, ...said he was disappointed.
The Belgian government has spent millions on events to commemorate the battle but we have been given zilch, zippo, nothing. I think its very disappointing.
The Battle of Waterloo was a milestone in European history which ended over 20 years of conflict in Europe.
We cant let the 200th anniversary pass without marking it and learning lessons about why it was so important.
David Green, director of the Civitas think-tank, said: ...It appears to be ludicrous hyper-sensitivity.
Waterloo was a battle of the most immense importance. Britain was fighting a tyrant who had conquered Europe. It was a momentous moment that should be commemorated. We should be shouting it from the rooftops.
In a message to Waterloo 200, the 8th Duke of Wellington said: I am often asked whether we should not now, in these days of European unity, forget Waterloo and the battles of the past.
My reply is, history cannot be forgotten and we need to be reminded of the bravery of the thousands of men from many nations who fought and died in a few hours and why their gallantry and sacrifice ensured peace in Europe for 50 years.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
(Yes the grammar is wrong I just cut and pasted)
Waterloo was fought a few miles south of Brussels on June 18, 2015.
Wellington described his own troops as very weak and ill-equipped, and a very inexperienced staff.
Britain and its allies had 68,000 men, and were joined by about 45,000 Prussians on the evening of the battle. The French had 72,000 troops.
Heavy rain had turned the battlefield into a swamp. The scale of casualties was staggering - around one in four men were killed.
But the victory brought about the final destruction of Napoleons army and the end of his bloody reign as dictator.
Then I suppose St. Crispin's Day is off too.
The government has pledged little support to the occasion
Right now we are celebrating the 200th of the War of 1812 between the British in Canada and the Americans
Lots of reenacting of battles etc
No "offending" on either side
just commemorating what their ancestors did
Its history..
Methinks the Mosl;ems are involved in the "offending" somewhere...
Maybe if the Brits can prove Wellington read the koran...
I figure Englands greatest victory was Blenheim.
Waterloo was a victory of allied armies against Napoleon, with England, and Belgium's cookies being hauled out of the fire by Prussia.
Is Prussia offended?
Wellington won, but it was hardly a rout. He himself later called it "a damned near-run thing."
"Methinks the Mosl;ems are involved in the offending somewhere..."
Just tell them the Brits whipped the tar out of the descendants of Charles Martel /s;)
For the Dauphin,
I stand here for him: what to him from England?
Scorn and defiance; slight regard, contempt,
And any thing that may not misbecome
The mighty sender, doth he prize you at.
Thus says my king; an' if your father's highness
Do not, in grant of all demands at large,
Sweeten the bitter mock you sent his majesty,
He'll call you to so hot an answer of it,
That caves and womby vaultages of France
Shall chide your trespass and return your mock
In second accent of his ordnance.
Henry V Act 2 Scene 4
Better to devote the attention to celebrating the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.
I suppose they didn't mark the 70th aniversery of Operation Tourch last November for the same reaon.
The bastards RESISTED the allied invasion of North Africa.
Operation Torch that is.
Nahhh, the French get a might tetchy when reminded about their serial a** kickings courtesy of the British (and the Germans, the Dutch, the Spanish, the Russians, the Vietnamese, the Algerians, the ...). Oh, and the Canadians are pretty cool about the War of 1812 since, with the exception of a "sea" battle on Lake Erie, they essentially won.
the Canadians are pretty cool about the War of 1812 since,
Nope there are things on every weekend etc

War of 1812 Education: The Battle of Beaver Dams: Uncommon Courage DVD
The Beaver Dams DVD and curriculum unit is ready to go! Initial copies are being distributed to schools in four different area school boards for use in classes in June. On June 22, the film will premiere at Thorold Ontario as part of the town's Commemorative weekend (June 22-24) of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Beaver Dams.
Visit Thorold on that weekend, see the final version of the film and take in the many excellent events planned. The DVD will be available to all interested parties, but there may be a nominal fee for the package, the money going to help establish a scholarship in the name of Alun Hughes a respected and inspirational member of the Thorold bicentennial Committee who passed away in May. Alun was a well known historian in the Niagara area and added immeasurably to the historical content of our film.
Copies of the DVD will also be available after the big weekend, free of charge. Coming soon will be a website where you can download a copy of the DVD/Curriculum/Research Notes
A play, The Whirlwind, will premiere at Thorold June 22-23 as part of the festivities. It will be performed at the Hamilton Fringe Festival between July 19 and 27.

Technically it wasn't "just" the British Army - out of the 100,000 allied troops, only 25,000 were British.
What is strange is that Napoleon was courting Islam (to rise against the British) -- a role the Brits took over after 1815
well, the French lost ever since they went Revolutionary...
I thought it was the Prussians (Germans), who saved the day for the Brits at the end of the battle. The French feel that the Germans and Brits are teaming up again. Shhh! Don't say anythink.
I would think that trying to not offend the French would be found offensive to the French.

Laksa - Easy Recipe You Can Make At Home In 20 Minutes
Asian Gourmet Laksa
How To Make Authentic Tasting Laksa At Home The Easy Way
This Laksa recipe is very easy, takes about 20 minutes, and the outcome will surprise you. You will think this tastes really authentic except you haven't had to spend hours mixing pastes and making stock. This is truly the lazy chef's Laksa Recipe.
Laksa is an Asian soup dish, popular in Singapore and Malaysia. Most authentic Asian restaurants prepare it. It's deliciously spicy and hot enough to have some bite, but won't rip your head off. You can use whatever meat or seafood you like with this dish. I usually prepare it with chicken, because it's quick, tasty and easily available.
Laksa Ingredients
1 Large Chicken Breast (frozen)
1 440 Gram Can of Coconut Milk (or 14 Fl Oz)
1 1/2 Cups of Chicken Stock
1 Packet of Asian Home Gourmet Singapore Laksa Paste
Vegetable Oil
1 Packet of Thai Rice Noodles (or any noodles will do - see noodle variations below).
Serves - 2 people
Step 1 - Prepare And Stir Fry Chicken
Allow chicken to thaw slightly then slice chicken into wafer thin bite size pieces with a sharp knife. By the time you are ready to stir fry, the chicken will be thawed. I recommend cutting it while semi frozen because it's easier to get that wafer thin effect.
Add a splash of oil to a hot wok and stir fry chicken until cooked. I stir fry the chicken in three separate lots so the chicken cooks quickly and does not get too much water in it.
Set aside chicken and turn heat off temporarily.
Step 2 - Boil Water For Noodles and Stir Fry The Laksa Paste
Fill your kettle with water and boil. (You will use this boiling water to soak the Rice Noodles).
Add 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable) to the wok, and stir fry the paste for about 2 minutes. This releases all the flavours of the Laksa Paste. Leave your stove heat on low while you do this as you do not want the paste to burn.
Add the can of coconut milk to the wok, mixing in the paste, and bring it to the boil. As soon as it boils, add 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock and bring to boil again. As soon as it boils, turn down to a low heat and let it simmer for ten minutes.
Grab a large bowl, empty the contents of your Rice Noodles into it and pour kettle of boiling water over the noodles. Add more boiling water if you need to. The rice noodles will soften. You can also use a fork to separate them. When ten minutes is up, strain the noodles and set aside to serve.
Step 3 - Serve Your Laksa
A minute or two before the ten minutes simmering has expired on your Laksa soup, throw the chicken into the soup to warm it. Increase the temperature if you need to, to heat the chicken through.
Grab some bowls, half fill your bowl with rice noodles, and then spoon over as much Laksa and chicken over the noodles as you think you'll eat. I suggest serving in smaller quantities as soup can cool before you get to the end of a big bowl. You can always top up your serving if you need more.
Vegetable Additions To Laksa
I've added Bok Choi to Laksa and it's delicious. Just finely chop a bunch and throw it into the soup a minute or two before serving.
You can also add snow peas or any vegetable you enjoy.
Mostly I keep mine plain and simple as it's very tasty without vegetables.

Seafood Laksa
If you want to make a nice seafood variation, you can use marinara mix, fish, prawns or a combination.
If you make seafood Laksa, you don't need to stir fry first, just put the raw seafood into the soup about 3 minutes before you are ready to serve. Don't overcook seafood as it will turn rubbery.

Laksa Noodles
If you don't like Rice Noodles, try any Asian Noodles that you like. I've used fresh Hokkien Noodles, and Vermicelli Noodles. Vermicelli is also a rice noodle but really thin.
Update: I've just tried it (see photo above) with Egg Noodles. Delish! In fact, I think I'll use Egg Noodles from now on. With Egg Noodles, boil some water in a sausepan, drop them in and boil for a few minutes and separate them with a fork. When they are separated you can drain them off ready to serve. You don't need to rinse. Egg noodles in Australia usually come in a packet - they are dry and crisp so boiling them softens them ready for eating.
Traditional Variations of Laksa
Traditionally, Laksa recipe ingredients vary and usually many more ingredients go into the pot to enhance the taste. That said, if time is short, and you just can't be bothered spending ages preparing various spices and vegetables, I can vouch for the Asian Home Laksa Paste. It's really delicious and as good as I've had in some local restaurants.
The following video demonstrates a more complex Laksa dish using a lot more varieties of ingredients and a different spice paste. There are numerous variations to this recipe. Have fun discovering Laksa and creating your own variations. Or try my plain and simple recipe for starters if you haven't tried Laksa before. Its really is a delicious dish.

Asian Home Gourmet
Hey Belinda,
Thanks for the fantastic recipe - Asian Home Gourmet Singapore Laksa is truly the best tasting Laksa I have ever tasted:-)
Sounds tasty. I would be interested in what seasonings go into the laksa paste. I assume that most Asians make their own.
Thanks for this! I have never had Laksa but my husband lived in Singapore when he was younger and raves about it. I`m going to buy the packets and follow your lead here and make some yummy soup. Thanks!
Fantastic indeed. Laksa goes well with bread too. Just cut French load into pieces and dip it into the laksa sauce. Delicious.
I just made it now!! YUMMY!!!
thanks for the recipe!
Very nice hub, and being the cooking fan i am, i will definitely try this!
Thx a lot!
I will definitely try this - I don't think I have ever tasted this Laksa. Thanks for sharing:-)
I just made this Laksa pack and it taste awesome! It doesn't have any strange taste/smells like the Malay ones! It's the real Sing thing!
When I was younger, I remember my Mom was cooking Banana Blossom Laksa. It was yummy! I missed that.
Hi Belinda, Debbie again! thank you for the great recipe idea, I'm always looking for some new to make and this is new to me! I like how you said: "It won't rip your head off! " That made my day! I know some recipes can do that! Like the chili I make. Sometimes I make it mild, and sometimes not! Hope all is well.
