We honor the group of visionary women who founded AAUW 136 years ago on November 28, 1881.
On that day, Marion Talbot, then a recent graduate of Boston University, and Ellen Swallow Richards, the first woman graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, invited 15 alumnae from eight colleges to a meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. Among the first generation of women college graduates, these pioneering women struggled with a lack of career opportunity. In founding AAUW, they discussed how they would join together to help other women break through educational barriers and attend and graduate college as well as assist those who had already graduated.
The rest is history. Today, AAUW boasts 170,000 members and supporters, more than 100 student orgs, and 800 college and university members. Our community engages in amazing advocacy work—in 2017, AAUW members and supporters voiced their support or opposition to at least 325 state bills, submitted more than 10,000 comments to the U.S. Department of Education in support of strengthening and protecting Title IX, and sent over 270,000 messages to lawmakers. We look forward to many, many more years of advocating for women and girls!

On this Christmas Day we celebrate the ministries of the church that have "filled the hungry with good things" (Luke 1:53). The Bidwell Riverside Center in Des Moines raised more than $30,000 in a fundraising event on November 2nd to reduce food insecurity among the people of central Iowa. Nearly 170 attendees enjoyed live music from the Nella Thomas Band and selected a unique handmade bowl to take home and remind them to find ways to fill the bowls of others every day.
United Methodist Women's groups across the state donated bowls, promoted the event, and attended that evening. Additonal sponsors of the event included UnityPoint Health Des Moines, Duncan and Pam Gallagher, Bankers Trust, and Casey's General Store.
The Polk County Board of Supervisors and their work for The Partnership for a Hunger-Free Polk County was honored as the community partner of the year that evening. In addition, Arlina Pearce, was honored for her hours of commitment to Bidwell and her regular donations of toiletries to stock the shelves.
Bidwell Riverside most recently received a $42,500 grant from the Iowa Board of Global Ministry in support of their ministries to break the cycle of poverty among families in need. The funds were made available from the apportionment gifts of United Methodist churches across the state.


text: Hi folks. Yes there is a real void for "true" bbq in my neck of the woods, south fla. What folks here consider bbq is actually grilled not the long smoke it for two days kind of stuff. I have been thinking about buying a small used smoker and just between friends and family, start "bbqing/slow smoking" some pork, meats, chicken....ect and see what they think. I also have some killer sides..so I think..being that I was raised by grandma. Still finishing my culinary management degree right now, but for the longest time this has been bugging me. Anyhow, just like to know how or what folks here think. Thanks. PS. I would like to start a small....very small...side of the road nothing fancy bbq shack someday!


text: And another archaeology in the media post: Mel Giedroyc (of Mel and Sue fame...) spent a few days with us in the Iron Age village at Lejre this summer. Tomorrow on Radio 4 at 11am there will be a half-hour show about her experiences living in the Iron Age during one of the wettest, coldest weeks of the summer. Should be well worth a listen, she was completely game for living as 'Iron Age' as possible and cheerfully tried her hand at everything we threw at her over the few days.

Is it a good idea to "starve" yourself just a little bit each day? The evidence suggests that yes, avoiding eating around the clock could have a very beneficial impact on your health and longevity.
What we're talking about here is generally referred to as intermittent fasting, which involves timing your meals to allow for regular periods of fasting.
It takes about six to eight hours for your body to metabolize your glycogen stores and after that you start to shift to burning fat. However, if you are replenishing your glycogen by eating every eight hours (or sooner), you make it far more difficult for your body to use your fat stores as fuel.
In a new diet book, "The Fast Diet: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Live Longer with the Simple Secret of Intermittent Fasting", Dr. Michael Mosley suggests the best way to lose weight is to eat normally for five days a week, and fast for two. On fasting days, he recommends cutting your food down to ¼ of your normal daily calories, or about 600 calories for men and about 500 for women, along with plenty of water and tea.
A recent article in the Washington Post highlighted yet another important health benefit associated with intermittent fasting, namely brain health and protection against dementia. Mark Mattson at the National Institute on Aging told the paper:
"We know from animal models that if we start an intermittent fasting diet at what would be the equivalent of middle age in people, we can delay the onset of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's."
Many studies have evaluated daily intermittent fasting, and the results are compellingly positive. Three major mechanisms by which fasting benefits your body, as it extends lifespan and protects against disease, include:
1. Increased insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial energy efficiency
– Fasting increases insulin sensitivity along with mitochondrial energy efficiency, and thereby retards aging and disease, which are typically associated with loss of insulin sensitivity and declined mitochondrial energy.
2. Reduced oxidative stress
– Fasting decreases the accumulation of oxidative radicals in the cell, and thereby prevents oxidative damage to cellular proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids associated with aging and disease.
3. Increased capacity to resist stress, disease and aging
– Fasting induces a cellular stress response (similar to that induced by exercise) in which cells up-regulate the expression of genes that increase the capacity to cope with stress and resist disease and aging.
One of the mechanisms that makes fasting so effective for weight loss is the fact that it provokes the secretion of human growth hormone (HGH), which is a fat-burning hormone. It also plays an important role in muscle building. Fasting also increases catecholamines, which increases resting energy expenditure, while decreasing insulin levels, which allows stored fat to be burned for fuel. Together, these and other factors will turn you into an effective fat-burning machine.
Hence, if like many tens of millions of people, your goal is to shed excess fat, fasting can be both effective and beneficial for improving many disease markers. The type of fast you choose appears to be less important, so pick whichever one fits your lifestyle, schedule, and temperament the best.
Interestingly, one recent study that included more than 200 individuals, found that fasting increased the participants' low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL or "bad" cholesterol) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL, the "good" cholesterol) by 14 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Why would fasting raise total cholesterol? Dr. Benjamin D. Horne, PhD, MPH, director of cardiovascular and genetic epidemiology at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute, and the study's lead author, offers the following explanation:
"Fasting causes hunger or stress. In response, the body releases more cholesterol, allowing it to utilize fat as a source of fuel, instead of glucose. This decreases the number of fat cells in the body… This is important because the fewer fat cells a body has, the less likely it will experience insulin resistance, or diabetes."
Intermittent fasting must be accompanied with good nutrition, otherwise it is just starvation. That is NOT recommended.
But hypoglycemics and diabetics beware—there is a proper way to implement fasting, and hypoglycemic and/or diabetics need to be particularly careful in order to not worsen their health. Ditto for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

On Saturday March 31 a couple of the Elders and I built a porch/ramp for one of the disabled sisters in our ward. At about 1 o'clock I realized conference had started so I pulled out my phone and was able to tune in. It was at that very moment that Elder Oaks was speaking on service. It really hit home :o)
Our lives of service and sacrifice are the most appropriate expressions of our commitment to serve the Master and our fellowmen. Sacrifice

Then Hank Vogler took over as emcee, sharing his witty repartee between speakers. Having spent a large part of his life working with sheep, he had no shortage of stories to share.
Sourdough Slim shared his musical talents and country sense of humor. He makes it look so easy to play multiple musical instruments at the same time, sing, tell jokes, and keep a crowd of varying backgrounds and ages entertained.
Then it was time for speakers to get up and share stories about sheepherders, sheep shearers, and sheep owners. I was able to photograph most, but not all the speakers. Fortunately the entire program was videotaped for the Great Basin National Heritage Area, so in the future it should be available for those who are interested.
Little Melanie sang a song to conclude the speaker part of the program. She is quite brave to get up in front of a crowd!
Then Sourdough Slim performed some more musical numbers. There were so many people in the room that some had to stand in the doorways in order to be able to watch.
The next day was the sourdough pancake breakfast in the morning, video clips and movies about the Snake Valley area, and another performance by Sourdough Slim in the afternoon. He did his accordion playing, yodeling, dancing, rope trick to the delight of the crowd.
In the evening was a delicious lamb and beef family-style dinner. It was fun to meet people from a variety of backgrounds.
During dinner the Silver Sage band performed, and afterwards they played late into the night for those wanting to dance.
Overall it was a very successful weekend and a great opportunity to get out of the house and beat those winter blahs. This was the seventh annual sheepherder's party--we only have a year until the next one!

This past week has been stupidly busy. I don't like stupidly busy days. I prefer to feel as though my body isn't being pulled in different directions by all the things I need to do. So, sleep kinda took priority (sleep is generally my #1 priority regardless) and Mon Amour Monday had to wait a week. This weeks Mon Amour has taken on a sort of "up-cycle" theme. So here it is.
Coming in at number one// This lighting installation at a Taco place at the boat harbour near my house. It looks a hundred times better in real life and talk about up-cycling! I also ate a giant piece of chocolate cake (appropriately named the "Big Fat Chocolate Cake") and my friend Jon got the berry cheesecake.
Number Two// Bringing life back to old thrifted earrings. For the tutorial click here. (Please excuse the elephant skin appearance of my poorly moisturised hands - I am lazy).
Number Three// Feeling absolutely inspired and creative in my new little desk space after I gave it a mini makeover last weekend. It kind of was looking a bit like a storage facility that I was attempting to work in (Blake had previously used it as a dumping ground for parts for his Simulator and had sorta not moved anything even though I had to study at the desk). It now looks beautiful, clean and most importantly Simulator parts free. I LOVE it!
Number Four// Girls nights in and chocolate brownies and mexican food and wine and everything amazing. Spice girls also somehow made it there and a lot of planning happened for an upcoming July girls trip. Yay! (And yes, lollies in martini glasses are essential!)
Number Five// This photo. I just want to smush her!
This post about all the pretty flowers featuring in current interiors. So jealous of the northern hemisphere as they head into Spring.
These GOURMET chocolate chip cookies. They are simply made better through the use of the word 'Artisian'. I think I will have to make them sometime this week - will keep you posted.
Super cute Easter DIY's. I love Easter holidays. They always have perfect weather and I love getting my craft on over the extended public holidays. And of course, the reason behind Easter. It is just a beautiful time of year.
My super amazing green glitter St Patrick's Day Shoes! Check out the tutorial over here and see the rest of my costume.
And finally this post over at Cafe Cartolina. Don't you just love the little yellow teapots?

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. Romans 8:26
I have to rely on the Spirit himself quite a bit.
I desire to be a prayer warrior, but I'm not yet.
I know what it looks like, because I know those who are true champions of prayer.
Some have been given a gift for prayer.
My friend Gidget unknowingly preaches a sermon straight from God's Word as she intercedes for others...
Yvette's prayers could be praise songs or poetry and she doesn't even realize it.
Others have diligently practiced the discipline of prayer
Sweet Jeri diligently prays each day for the people in her prayer journal until there is a check mark or carefully described answer written next to the request. If ever I have a request that I want to be SURE will be lifted up to God, I ask Jeri.
They are my prayer heros.
I have been convinced more and more that a major reason we in the Western church see so little movement of God is because we have asked so little of Him.
In James God tells us we don't have because we don't ask...and when we do ask it tends to be with wrong motives.
The result is that although He is ALL POWERFUL, we are powerless.
The result is that although He is ALL POWERFUL, we are powerless.
So, I am striving--praying--to make my first response to be prayer.
God is so faithful when we ask in His will.
This past week I had my first panic attack in a long time. Typically my response to the rapid pulse, the short breath, the trapped feeling is total self focus and an irresistible "flight" reaction.
I call it my "Forrest Gump" feeling.
I want to go out the front door and start running and not stop until I feel calm. Because my responsibilities and prematurely aging knees prevent that form of relief, my mind and physiology begin a frenzied dance together until all problems are completely out of proportion and I feel like a wild animal trapped in a cage.
Beware of approach. (There's a reason they call it "flight or fight.")
The symptoms started the same old way
too many expectations
trying to please people who had decidedly different needs--that had to be met at the exact same time
no one is happy
I'm not enough
the panic starts; I want to run.
Then the reminder: This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength."
I don't spiral into a crazed animal.
I pray.
And He answers. Not the instant calm I wanted, but the steady reminder to pray every time the adrenaline surged.
He sent me calm people to surround me who mercifully did not notice that I was not calm.
He gave me the affirming words of friends who didn't even realize I needed encouragement.
I had, because I asked.
This morning the Spirit laid a friend very heavily on my heart. I have prayed for her regularly, but not daily.
It had been a few days. Today, I felt the need to pray for her, but didn't know why.
Because I don't talk to her often, I sent her a text to let her know God was thinking of her and that I had prayed for her. Immediately she responded to say thank you: As it turned out, her husband had an appointment today that was causing him to PANIC.
I certainly know how to pray for that!
I certainly know how to pray for that!
I am floored by the realization--again--that I depend on the Holy Spirit for EVERYTHING. I can't even pray without Him.
At the same time I am THRILLED with the knowledge that when I depend on Him, I can do ANYTHING.
At the same time I am THRILLED with the knowledge that when I depend on Him, I can do ANYTHING.

Lucky for me, my favorite midwife was on call and she asked me to explain everything that had happened over the past week – then she asked me to meet her at the hospital for an assessment. This time I got to completely bypass the dreaded ER and head straight to L&D.
My mom made the 45 minute drive to come and look after Ruby while we were out (she then went on to tidy my kitchen and cook me dinner) which I felt totally guilty about, which is probably stupid.
The assessment revealed that the bleeding was from a very sensitive cervix getting "poked" (midwife's choice of words, not mine). She also said that because my pregnancies were so close together and also that I had ligament problems with my first one – my pelvic floor is hanging like a hammock (nice visual). And that my body didn't get enough time to recover properly between pregnancies. Because of this there is a lot more aches and pains than usual – and everything is magnified. (Also explains why I pee my pants a little bit every day).
I also brought up the gym since it seems that nobody in my family (Steve and my parents) agrees with the frequency that I go there or how fatigued I am afterwards. I thought I would settle it once and for all and prove to everyone that I was right and they were wrong (my favorite), except it didn't exactly work out in my favor... The midwife asked what I do and for how long and was horrified when I told her. Apparently I should NOT being going 3-4 times a week and doing 45 minutes of cardio each time, sweating my ass off and getting my heart rate up between 150-160bpm. She said that if I want to keep going that I should be going 2-3 times a week, NOT getting to the point of being breathless/sweaty and not allowing my heart rate to go over 120bpm. Well what's the fucking point then?
I could almost cry over that one. While the gym didn't make my body feel overly great (nay, it made my body huuuuurt), I did get a high from it and it helped release my stress like nothing else. I also had the notion that I was doing my future self a big favour and getting a jump on my post baby recovery. Instead I was *contributing to the physical problems that my body is having with this pregnancy.
I brought up my worries about weight gain and how I was trying to prevent gaining 68lbs like I did with Ruby. She asked how much I'd gained so far and when I told her 22lbs, she was impressed and said that at this point that's good. She said I could gain another 20 and it would still be perfectly ok. That made me feel a little better anyways.
She suggested that I'm doing too much and trying to keep on top (in control) of everything. She advised that I slow down a bit and try to enjoy my life, my family and the rest of this pregnancy. I'm not to worry so much about everything. Let some things go. That's hard but I will do it if it will make my body feel better. (Not sure what's going to happen to my mind or my self esteem.)
She strongly advised that I get some acupuncture which I know I said I was going to do before and never got around to it but this time I really will.
She suggested that I go for physiotherapy for my weak pelvic floor. Apparently there are therapists who specialize in pelvic floor recovery. I will start with the acupuncture first.
She asked me to take a couple of weeks off work to rest and get feeling better but I vetoed that.
After all was said and done, I felt better that I had been properly checked over and the baby is ok and so am I. I have an explanation/diagnosis for my more-than-normal discomfort. I have a bit of direction as to what I can and cannot do (even if it sucks).
I have to remind myself that this isn't forever – in the grand scheme it's just a small pocket of my life and I need to try to suck it up, make the best of it and try to make it as tolerable as possible.
*I know lots of people exercise lots when they're pregnant and I'm not saying anything about that. This is about me and my individual case.

Would it be terribly offensive for me, a stranger from the internet, to say that I'm really glad for what your midwife said? You're not heavy! You're not gaining much weight at all! You deserve to relax a little and not exacerbate your muscle aches. You're beautiful, you're going to have two beautiful babies soon, and from all the way over in California, I'm pulling for you to get to kick back and get excited about all the awesomeness to come.

Yet another stranger on the internet weighing in. I am a women's health and I can't stress enough the importance of learning how to strengthen your pelvic floor with 2 step Kegel that includes squeezing and elevating your pelvic floor muscles. A local women's health physical therapist can get you started on the right track, teaching you about posture and the other supportive muscles of your lumbo-pelvic basket. Starting now can help your recovery after delivery!

I really get the disappointment of them wanting you to slow down with the gym, cuz that's something I worried someone would say to me. Yea, I'd have been willing to do it if it meant keeping D safe, but it still would've been hard cuz like you, it helped with my stress, and my body image. I know nothing about your pelvic floor or body though so can't really comment on your body's needs compared to what they're saying. Hang in there. I think you're looking great in your pics:-)

About Me:
My name is Jack. I love to design logos jerseys and anything else about hockey. My love of hockey art first started a few years back when I was about 11. I found a great blog: "Tournament of Logos", I could not get away from it. I didn't know a lot about design, so I repeatedly checked for updates. My family got a new computer and my love of hockey art came back about a year later when I found my new favorite blog: icethetics.info. I started some concepts and continued to make some not so great logos and jerseys. I only had Microsoft PowerPoint available. As I got better, so did my art. I am constantly thinking of new ideas for my art and work on it almost every day. I don't think I will ever run out of ideas.
About Goal Line Design:
Goal Line Design is my portfolio for hockey art including designs for, uniforms, logos, jerseys, and everything you can imagine about hockey design. Everything you find here, is designed by me, Jack. I decided to end Enforced Logos for multiple reasons. First off, just the title was lame. I think Goal Line Design is more a preview of what you are going to find. I also noticed other hockey art sites are more popular, like Icethetics and PuckDrawn. Look at those names. So I think GLD is just a step forward. I also want a fresh start. I think I have dramatically changed in skill since the start of EL. When people look here, I want them to see the skill I have now, not my old work. I am also going to worry less about views and more about making more art and posting it. (No more hit-counter). I hope you enjoy the new site, Goal Line Design.
About Enforced Logos:
Enforced Logos was started on January 5th, 2010 but was changed to GLD on June 21st, 2010. Much like Goal Line Design, Enforced Logos was a blog about hockey art, including uniforms, logos, jerseys, and more. I loved to design logos jerseys and anything about hockey. I posted a number of projects and jerseys including a full NHL jersey rebrand. Every single graphic you find on EL was made using nothing but Microsoft PowerPoint. I did realize I did not have much skill when creating my jerseys and logos. So, based on the number of views and crappy concepts, I re-launched an upgraded blog known as Goal Line Design.
What separates Goal Line Design from those other hockey design sites?:
Everything on GLD is made by me. Don't get me wrong, those sites are way better than mine, but there is a small difference. Feel free to check out the other sites as much as i do for jersey news and rumors. But if your are in need for concepts, GLD is here for you!

One of the more bewildering aspects of the language of New Labour is its penchant for picking two irreconcilable concepts and saying that Labour is neither, yet is also both - simultaneously. This is what happens in Blair's defence of choice.
It is more subtly stated here but is present none the less. The first phase of public sector reform is described by Blair as being based on "strong central direction and public targets". The current phase is now, apparently, a process of "transfer of power from providers to citizens". Note the language here; it is a transfer of power from providers not government. Implicit in this is a view that the public sector behaves as a monopoly with, at best, complacency, and, at worst, an intrinsically hostile attitude towards its users. In this way there is a supposed unity of interest between government and citizens against the recalcitrant providers of public services. The circle is squared. Centralised government direction can happily co-exist with the devolution of power to citizens whereas I had always assumed that increasing the ability of people to decide for themselves had to result in a reduction of central power.
This analysis would be fine if it were true. Those of us in Adult Education, which has long operated in a genuine market with provision solely driven and determined by consumer choice, are acutely aware that there is currently a shared interest between providers and users against the government as it uses its powers of funding to effectively impose a narrow model of instrumental education to be delivered at NVQ level 2, regardless of the choices of citizens. A swathe of popular adult education provision is disappearing across the country because it does not match the government's funding criteria.
In reality, choice is a very limited form of power compared to ownership, control and democratic governance. This is even more so in a model based on central direction and targets. What results is not a choice of provision, which will remain centrally directed, but a choice of provider. In other words, "you can have any colour as long as it is black - but you can choose from all these showrooms where you buy it". This is hardly, "Power to the People".

Maryland Defense Force Public Affairs
25 September 2011
On September 24, 2011 the Maryland Defense Force's (MDDF) 10th Medical Regiment participated in Operation Stand Down which provided food, medical assistance and necessary medical referrals to VA services for over 200 homeless veterans. This event was held at the Baltimore War Memorial Plaza across from City Hall in downtown Baltimore. It was a collaborative effort spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the State of Maryland and The Way Station, Inc. Several organizations besides the MDDF provided assistance and a myriad of support services.
As the operation commenced, the homeless veterans stood in company formation alongside the Maryland Defense Force personnel for the posting of the colors. The colors were presented by a Color Guard unit from the Maryland Air National Guard (MDANG). The Maryland Army National Guard (MDARNG) was also present and provided personnel and three mobile support units to provide mental health services for the veterans in support of the operation.
The MDDF's 10th Medical Regiment provided medical screenings, conducted health assessments and facilitated referrals for follow-up care. The 10th Medical Regiment is comprised of volunteer physicians, nurses, social workers and emergency medical professionals from across the state of Maryland. During Operation Stand Down, the MDDF provided free medical screening services for 55 homeless veterans.
The MDDF's 10th Medical Regiment was also supported by the MDDF Operations and Training Unit as well as the MDDF Field Detachment Delta. Other organizational participants included personnel from the University of Maryland Medical Center, the U.S. Army Reserve and Army ROTC Cadets from Towson University and Loyola University Maryland. The operation also included an "army" of volunteers and veterans from every branch of the U.S. Armed Services and the local community.
Maryland Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown participated in the opening ceremony and thanked the Maryland Defense Force for supporting the veterans. Lieutenant Governor Brown said, "I want to give special thanks to the Maryland Defense Force for playing such a vital role in the success of today's mission." "Your commitment and dedication to our nation's heroes is truly commendable," he concluded.
The Maryland Defense Force (MDDF) is the State's uniformed volunteer military unit providing professional and technical assistance to the Maryland Military Department. Established in 1917, the MDDF consists of nearly 450 personnel who perform legal, engineering, finance, medical, chaplain, field support and ceremonial services for the State of Maryland.

Conventional virologic and in situ nucleic acid hybridization methods were used to study immunocompetent and immunosuppressed 3-week old BALB/c mice inoculated intravitreally with 10(4) plaque-forming units (pfu) of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV). Immunocompetent mice experienced a self-limited ocular infection with peak virus titers of 10(3.5) pfu/ml in the retina-choroid fraction on day 4 of infection. Using biotinylated MCMV DNA probes, MCMV DNA was detected in cells of the iris, ciliary body, and rarely, the retina or choroid on days 4 and 7 of infection. With few exceptions, retinal architecture was preserved. By contrast, mice immunosuppressed with cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg on day 0 and 100 mg/kg on days 5 and 11 after MCMV inoculation) had progressive ocular infection that culminated in a necrotizing retinitis. Virus titers in the retina-choroid fraction rose progressively (nearly 10(5) pfu/ml in cyclophosphamide-treated mice on day 11 versus 10(1.5) pfu/ml in immunocompetent mice). The MCMV DNA was detected in the iris and ciliary body of the immunosuppressed mice on days 4 and 7 and in the retina, on days 7, 11, and 14. On day 14 abundant MCMV DNA was found in most retinal layers, and extensive retinal necrosis was observed. These studies indicate that immunosuppression with cyclophosphamide potentiates MCMV ocular disease in mice, a finding analogous to CMV retinitis in immunosuppressed humans.

"A narrative, containing an account of the founding and settling the new gathered Congregational Church of Christ in Boston ..."--16 p. at end. This is not Andrew Croswell's "Narrative of the founding and settling the new-gathered Congregational Church in Boston ..." (Evans 6302). Croswell's Narrative describes the formation on Feb. 17, 1748, of a new church, recognized as the Eleventh Congregational Church, over which he was installed as pastor. The present work is in part a criticism of Croswell by the members of another, unauthorized, church, first meeting in 1743, to which Croswell preached on several occasions, and whose call in 1746 to serve as pastor he rejected. Ephraim Clark accepted its call and was ordained Sept. 30, 1748. The church, however, was never officially accepted in Boston; no authorized name survives, and except for this account no further record exists. (Cf. Hill, H.A. History of the Old South Church, 1890).

Artisan Bread in FIVE Minutes a Day
I do not have the time to play around kneading and babying bread dough. We want a hearty bread or pizza dough that is flavorful with no muss or fuss required to make it. I recommended the Bread in 5 recipe to a friend who had returned from Germany and was sorely missing the rustic bread and now he is posting almost daily pictures of his beloved bread.
This is the Kwik-n-EZ answer to rustic bread or making pizza dough on the fly and you do not need a boatload of skills to do it. No need for special flour or appliances - just a bowl or pot big enough to let the dough rise and to store it until you use it up. Like sourdough? Just let it in the fridge a little longer to start to sour. I have been making this for years and it is our go-to for pizza dough, bread, breadsticks, buns or any food that requires a yeasty bread dough (cinnamon rolls, cinnamon bread, etc). The only special things I use are parchment paper and a pizza stone. I am a slacker and do not even add water for steam any more.
Check the recipe and instructions out and let me know what you think!

This looks and sounds delicious! Placing this recipe, and many others in this category under the title of "Healthy Desserts" is quite misleading. When one looks at the nutritional count of a single serving, who would consider 51 grams of sugar to be healthy?

When you see a snowplow go by during a winter storm, do you ever wonder how much it costs to get Iowa's roads back in good shape during and after a storm? If you're a number cruncher or are just curious, you can see for yourself on a "Winter cost calculator" online tool developed by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
The tool was unveiled about a year ago. It lets users see the cost of material, labor, and equipment; pounds of salt applied; and labor hours expended for the previous 48 hours during winter weather road maintenance activities. Information can be found on the total cost of statewide cleanup efforts, or users can zoom to a specific area of the map to find costs associated with the area being displayed. Iowa's seven largest metro areas are preloaded in a bookmarks tab for easy viewing. Bookmarks can also be set to locations of a user's choice.
Color-coded roadways show where resource usage is above, below, or in-line with the statewide average. In addition, users may click on segments of a roadway to get costs specific to that segment, as well as more detailed information such as the last time a plow truck passed the segment, how much time was spent on the segment versus time spent applying material, and the length of the segment.
"For years we've used this type of data to track our internal costs and budget for future years' expenses," said Tina Greenfield, of the Iowa DOT's Maintenance Office. "What this tool does is make that same information available to anyone who is interested in knowing what it takes to keep Iowa road safer throughout the winter."
Information presented on the map is for state-owned roadways only and does not include county or city maintenance information. The data that powers the map comes from the automatic vehicle location system located on Iowa DOT's maintenance vehicles. Data from the system is processed in near real time and used for various analytics and applications to help travelers, businesses, and the Iowa DOT make better decisions.
The web application was developed in-house by the Iowa DOT's geographic information systems (GIS) team. It is part of a suite of public-facing GIS applications that includes the popular track-a-plow website.
Dena - you may not realize this, but the Iowa DOT is only responsible for state and U.S. routes and the interstate system. City streets are the responsibility of each city.
Can you please tell me what do you all clean and treat the streets with once there is a snowstorm? The cleanup here is terrible. You can't get up a hill or down one without sliding or getting stuck. I'm from Chicago and whatever they use works.

Healthcare Lottery?
Okay, so some state sponsored health plans "close" when the state can't take on the burden of any more people financially. The Oregon Health Plan, a state-funded expansion of the Medicaid program (I think I have that right) has enough projected revenue to accept up to 13,000 new members. However, when nearly 100,000 Oregonians qualify for the plan, what do you do?
Why, have a lottery of course!
And that, my friends, is what's wrong with health care in America. We know we have issues of covering everyone, but when the "fairest" way to expand coverage is through absolute random chance?
(this may potentially be the worst researched post ever, total effort was about 3 minutes, but since I'm on the internet I can post whatever misinformation I want!)
