Cut it Out, Organic Flax Plus Maple Pecan Crunch! The Story of My Enormous Cereal Cluster.
In my daily life, I hear a lot of "well, why don't you try different cereals?" "This cereal looks a lot like Great Grains; you should try it" and "you really need to get a life and stop talking about cereal so much." And you know what? I listen to all of these helpful suggestions. And I reach my open arms out to many different cereals and attempt to welcome them into my heart.
(...read ahead to see what happens!)
There are certain things a cereal must have in order for it to please me. Minus availability in Canada (sigh), the second most important factor is the presence of clusters. Nut clusters, grain clusters, oatmeal clusters, I don't care, gather whatever ingredient you have into a small, condensed bunch and I will enjoy it. So naturally when I saw Nature's Path Organic Flax Plus Maple Pecan Crunch cereal, I was all like, whoa, I gotta try this cereal so maybe it can fill the gaping hole in my heart that is caused by the lack of Great Grains. I know that's a lot of pressure for a cereal but I don't care.
So I poured my first bowl of NPOFPMPC and stared in wonderment/fear at the site I beheld.
You wanna talk clusters? Holy cow.
I really wasn't prepared for this. That's the monster maple pecan cluster next to a normal flake. Notice the slight size difference.
Just to give you a bit more perspective on the size of this thing, I hired a hand model to pose for this picture.
It was the biggest cereal cluster I've ever seen. It was so big, it was bordering on obscene. It took over my cereal bowl and when I picked it up, I felt like I was holding a small, newborn kitten. Or a very underweight baby. That thing had weight to it. It was almost as if the cluster had somehow absorbed all of the other clusters and formed a giant, hybrid cluster. It took me at least half an hour (30 minutes) to eat it and then I was sad that it was gone.
And oh, how I loved that thing. I wanted more clusters like that. So I decided to write Nature's Path and share my story and ask all of the questions that were naturally running through my mind. Specifically, did God intend for ME to receive that cluster? And should I quit my job now that I've experienced something like this? I needed answers.
I hoped that Nature's Path would be able to give me some advice and guidance, and more importantly, more giant clusters. Did any of this happen? Read on.
As you can see, Nature's Path understood that this was a serious matter. And as suspected, Irene told me this was an extremely rare occurrence (which just gives more evidence to my "chosen one" theory, right?). Irene also told me that my giant cluster has led Nature's Path to try new oven cleaners and revise their sanitation plan. I guess it's true what they say--one person (or cluster) CAN make a difference in the world! I find this very inspiring. I'm also happy to see that Nature's Path workers must wear hairnets and clean uniforms. It's more than I can say for myself.
(A quick Google image search for "huge cereal cluster" brought this up. Please. My cluster could absorb that cluster in like two (2) seconds.)
I meant to reply back to Irene and tell her that no apologies were necessary--I was commending Nature's Path on the giant cluster, not complaining about it! But then I became too busy using up the $20.00 in coupons that Irene gave me. I've bought at least four (4) boxes of Nature's Path cereal since, hoping to discover another monster cluster. No luck yet. But, like seeing an angel or winning the lottery, events like that only come along once in a lifetime.
As always, I like to consult the experts on matters like these. So I did a quick check on Yahoo Answers to enquire about cereal clusters. While I didn't find any situations similar to mine, there were some important questions addressed. Like whether eating cereal will prevent me from getting six-pack abs. (Apparently not. Yay.)
And here's a hot tip: keep an eye out for a hot new cereal to hit the market, as an inspired consumer is creating a fish-flavored cereal. About damn time!
I'd go with Salmon Chunks, but hey, that's just me.
(A quick Google search for "Slammin' Salmon" informed me that apparently "The Slammin' Salmon" is actually a 2009 movie made by the guys who did Super Troopers. Who knew?! Slammin' Salmon received "mixed to negative reviews" and had the unfortunate tagline of"Bring a bib, it's gonna get messy.")
Chances of watching this one are....slim.
I'd like to thank Nature's Path for choosing me to experience this enormous monster cluster. I hope I haven't let you down. I'd also like to thank Irene for her superior customer service. With her coherent sentences and use of multi-syllable words, I am almost certain that she's not a letter-writing 'bot (I will also use this time to tell Micheal Carpenter of Post Cereals to suck it).
Have any of YOU have had a gigantic cluster in your cereal? If so, how did you handle it? If not, do you wish you had? As always, I wanna hear all about it!

I too long for giant clusters... i've seen them a couple inches across, but nothing compared to yours. Also, the Slammin Salmon - tons of fun, esp if you liked supertroopersReplyDelete

Slammin salmon is rated pretty high by my roommate and life friend aaron. I still haven't seen it and think we should have a movie night.ReplyDelete
All your letters get such apologetic responses, it's like they want to make every box of cereal the same... If they advertised massive-cluster odds of 1/1000 per box they could see sales skyrocket.
Hmmm, perhaps you two have convinced me to give Slammin' Salmon a chance. I think maybe because I hate fish I was too quick to judge and that was unfair of me. Chances of me watching Slammin' Salmon are now...moderately higher!ReplyDelete
And Zak, I agree completely. Cereal companies should really use the element of surprise to their advantage. Finding cereal irregularities is like the second best part of cereal!
That WAS an amazing cluster. I was there.ReplyDelete

Hey-you never paid me for the hand-modelling I did. I expect that money to be hanging on our fridge this week.ReplyDelete
Hey Anon, thanks for the (long-ago) head's up! The discovery of Great Grains in Canada is one of the few times it is not only appropriate but necessary to employ caps lock. I hope you read the "OMG Birthday Great Grains" post and found it satisfactory.ReplyDelete
Velvet, my mistake! Accept my apologies. The money has been hidden somewhere in our house and you have one (1) hour to find it. Let the Hunger Games begin!

kids patterns Sewing For Kids
Hailey Bugs Closet Perfect Puzzle Set1:32 PM

If you follow me around on facebook, you'd know that any time anyone asks for a knit dress pattern, I always say Hailey Bug's Closet Perfect Puzzle Set. Truth is, I've sewn well over 50 of these! And I really love the pattern. I can't believe I haven't shared it with you yet!
The Hailey Bug's Closet Perfect Puzzle set is my Tried and True pattern. What does that mean? It means I've sewn it before and know how it fits in reference to its size chart. I know how this pattern fits my kids and I know that if I use this as my base, I can hack this pattern and get perfect results every time. The reason I really love this pattern though is all the options that come already built in. So what do you get?
4 sleeve options
-Long Hemmed
-Long Cuffed
A color blocked bodice with an empire line as well as a-line body
2 Flounces with options to color block
-Short (for tunic or layering)
-Long (for dress)
Waist band for making skirts only.
And a ruffle measurement for gathering a ruffle all the way around the skirt hem.
Pattern sizes include sizes 12 months through 11/12.
So with this pattern you can make T-shirts, Drop waist tunics, Drop Waist Dresses, Skirts and multiple combinations of layers and colorblocking. I usually make about 7 of these for every season using various combinations of options.
Today, I'm sharing something pretty simple. I used the sleeveless option, simple bodice with no color blocking and a WOVEN skirt. Please note, that the pattern does NOT say whether you can use a woven skirt. I took the risk and it turned out fine. Measure the a-line shirt portion against the full circumference of your child's shoulders to be sure the dress will still pull over their head. Remember that the woven skirt will stretch just a tiny bit because it is cut along that curved edge. The woven fabric I found at Joann's in the red tag bins. The black with silver stripe is a left over piece of my first Girl Charlee Knit Fix. I wish I had more of that fabric.
I will say that the instructions on this pattern make me more than a little bit crazy. You see it is so detailed and sometimes I just want to jump right in. So if you're a newbie, this is the perfect, very detailed pattern for you. And if you're experienced, skip the instructions all together as there's nothing tricky here.
Check back later this week, because I'll be taking the Perfect Puzzle Set and using it to hack out 2 different views that are easy and really get value out of your pattern.

Here at The Militant Carnivore Cooks for his Vegetarian Wife, we believe that health-conscious nutrition and irresponsibly wretched excess go hand in hand. Thus, our scientists at TMCCFHVW Labs have created the Ultimate Multigrain Waffle: It's packed full of whole wheat flour, cornmeal and quinoa for all of the self-righteous fiber one could hope for at breakfast. It also has a cubic s***load of butter thrown into it. (That "c" that you see after the number "1" down below is not a typo.)
It's not my fault: The Joy of Cooking said it was OK. I quote verbatim from its recipe for Basic Waffles: "We give you three choices to prepare this recipe: use 4 tablespoons butter for a reduced-fat waffle, 8 tablespoons for a classic light and fluffy waffle; or 16 tablespoons for the crunchiest most delicious waffle imaginable."
That's not really a choice at all, is it?
makes 15-20 waffles
- 1 c whole wheat flour
- 1 c cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
- 1 T baking powder
- 1/4 c sugar
- pinch of salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 c milk
- 1 c butter, melted
- 2 c cooked quinoa
Mix the first five ingredients (aka, the dry ingredients) together in a large mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, milk and butter. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined. Stir in the cooked quinoa. Preheat the waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Make the waffles (my waffle maker uses a 1/3 c of batter at a time, and I like to use the darkest setting) and serve immediately, or keep warm on a rack set over a baking sheet in a 200 degree oven. Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit or a savory ragout. I would advise against putting extra butter on these waffles.

Today's interview is with Sheila Athens, author of Climb to Freedom, which is a finalist in the Contemporary Single Title category of Romance Writers of America's® 2013 Golden Heart® contest for unpublished manuscripts. This is the premier contest (worldwide) for writers of the romance genre. Welcome, Sheila!
Tell us a little about yourself.
I grew up in the Ozarks of Missouri and got my undergrad degree from Missouri State University. Because we do crazy things when we are in our twenties, I moved (sight unseen) to the deep coastal south with a man I'd fallen in love with. Like any good romance novel, it has an HEA: We celebrated our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary earlier this year. We have two sons, currently known in my tweets as College Boy and Surly Teen.
Now tell us about your manuscript, Climb to Freedom, that just finaled in RWA's Golden Heart contest!
The heroine is a law school student who is spending the summer doing an internship for an organization that helps wrongly convicted people get out of prison. She falls for the hero, a former football star who now works for the state senator who is toughest on crime. They agree to overlook this difference . . . until they find out that one of the men she's working to get out of prison is the man convicted of killing the hero's mother.
How you feel about the Golden Heart experience?
I was so thrilled to be a finalist. My two critique partners, Lena Diaz and Valerie Bowman, had each finaled in recent years and are both now published (Lena with Avon and Harlequin; Valerie with St. Martin's Press). I felt like I needed to final to make it a complete validation of the success of our little group. It is such an honor and a privilege to be a finalist.
Where do you get the ideas for your stories? And/or for this story, in particular?
Ha! This question makes me laugh because there is an ongoing fake battle with one of my critique partners about why I need to stop getting my ideas for romance novels from National Public Radio. I love NPR because they delve below the headlines to focus on the people behind the stories. Yes, much of the news is too grim to ever turn into a romance novel, but my brain automatically thinks, "Wow, how would someone feel if they were in that scenario?" The idea for Climb to Freedom came when I heard a story about the Innocence Project, which gets wrongly convicted people out of prison using DNA evidence.
What has your writing journey been like?
I know now that I was always meant to be a writer—I just wish I'd realized that years ago. When I was eight or nine, I wrote scripts for plays and recruited neighborhood kids for the cast. In high school, I loved book reports and research papers. For years as a teen and an adult, I had recurring dreams of standing before audiences as if I had something important to tell the world. Then finally, when I was well into adulthood, I heard (on NPR, of course!) about a weekend writer's conference near my home. I went to it and felt immediately like I had "come home." A special shout-out to NYT bestseller and international thriller writer Steve Berry, whose presentation there gave me the road map for starting my writing journey.
What's your ideal writing environment?
We just built a small log cabin on a mountaintop in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is our get-away now and will eventually become our retirement home. It has beautiful views, a Geek Desk that raises and lowers for standing or sitting, and an interior stained glass that looks down over the living room below. The initials of our two sons are hidden in the stained glass, which I designed. That room is my ideal writing environment because it represents everything that is important to me—the beauty of nature, solitude, family, reading, and writing.
How can fans (and agents and editors!) reach you?
Luckily, the GH final helped me get an offer of representation from Jill Marsal of the Marsal Lyon Literary Agency. I am so stoked to have such a great agent and agency representing my work.
Others may reach me via my webpage: http://www.sheilaathens.com/
Or via Twitter (where I have been doing my #GratitudeForTheDay tweets ever since I joined): @SheilaAthens
Is there anything you'd like to add?
I get my energy from solitude and quiet introspection—the signs of an introvert—but I will never underestimate the importance of the writing community. There are so many writers to thank for helping me on this journey, including killer romantic suspense author Lena Diaz, Regency romp author Valerie Bowman, NYT Bestselling author and recent RT Paranormal-of-the-Year winner Alyssa Day, inspy author Renee Ryan, romantic suspense author Ava Milone, Regency author Madeline Martin, Regency and Contemporary author Vanessa Kelly, the ladies of the First Coast Romance Writers and the Lucky 13s (this year's GH finalists). I mentioned Steve Berry earlier. Steve led me to Frank Green, a local writing coach who for years (maybe decades?) has hosted writers of all genres in his living room every Wednesday night. His writing workshop is where I learned so much of my craft. The support of the writing community has been one of the best, most unexpected gifts of this journey. Thank you all.

A few weeks back we wrote about sulfates, which may be in fact be every Curly Girl's Top Enemy.
A close second on our Most Wanted List are silicones, particularly non-water soluble ones.
|For the prettiest of curls,
keep away from silicone!
Now, Curly Friends, take a deep breath. We know silicones seem innocent, perhaps even like they should be our friends. They smooth down the hair shaft and make the frizz go away. But they're just a temporary fix. Worse yet, they also suck out the moisture from inside the hair, dehydrating curly locks and creating more frizz in the long run.
And because they can't be rinsed away with water, they also build up on the hair shaft and generally require a surfactant (detergent)-based shampoo to remove. Which leads to boring, dry hair. And dry hair won't hold the curls. Yet another vicious cycle in the minefield of curly hair health. In our book we explain more about how all this works, and how to keep curly hair beautifully frizz-free.
Top rule here: You absolutely, positively must use a conditioner that's silicone-free or has acceptable, water-soluble silicones in it to condition your hair. No exceptions, no substitutes. And don't be skimpy when it comes to shampoos. Apply liberally, and let it sit for a few minutes so your hair can absorb what it needs. Rinse out any excess with cool water. Cool water, like acid-based products, will shut your cuticle down and help keep all that healthy product inside your hair shaft where it belongs.
Live Curly, Live Free, The e-book, is available for Kindle, iPad and Nook formats. In it, Curl Whisperer Tiffany Anderson-Taylor tells us all we need to know to have healthy, happy curls.

How does AC work?2017-06-06 16:38:57 Blog Read more... 0 comments
Tips for Indoor Air Quality2017-06-06 16:19:39
Indoor air can be five times worse in quality than outdoor air. Still many of us spend almost 90% of our time indoors. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that poor indoor air can cause or heighten asthma, allergies (and other respiratory problems), headaches, irritations to the eyes and skin, colds and flues, sore throats and even memory loss, dizziness, fatigue and depression. If there is extended exposure to toxic airborne particles the effects can include heart disease, respiratory disease, reproductive disorders, sterility and even cancer.
Here are a few of the tips from the American Lung Association that will help keep the air in your home clean and healthy for you and your family (From The Daily Green):
No Smoking Indoors
The surgeon general reports that there is no safe level of secondhand smoke. Children can develop respiratory tract infections from secondhand smoke and older adults or people that suffer lung and cardiovascular diseases have a greater chance of developing respiratory problems due to secondhand smoke. Make it a rule that there is no smoking in the house-even for guests. Ask them to take it outside for the safety of your family.
Clean your Air Conditioner and Dehumidifier Regularly
Dust mites, mold, and mildew all thrive off of standing water and humidity. These can increase asthma problems. Use a humidifier and the air condition and be certain to clean both of them regularly.
Choose Low-Voc Paints, Varnishes and Waxes
Paints actually release volatile organic compounds (VOC's) for months after being applied. They can include such highly toxic chemicals as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. Look for Low Voc paints, varnishes and waxes when you plan your makeovers and remodels.
Install and Upkeep Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Over 400 people die from Carbon Monoxide every year while thousands of others become ill and require medical attention due to their exposure to it. Carbon Monoxide is odorless and colorless and the gas levels can rise very quickly in unventilated areas. All fuel burning appliances should be inspected by a qualified technician annually. Install carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping quarters and test them regularly to assure they are working properly.
Radon Test Your Home
Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer for both smokers and non-smokers alike. Radon is a colorless gas that occurs naturally in rocks and soil. Testing for Radon gas is inexpensive and easy. The rewards of making sure you don't have Radon gas in your home, or getting rid of Radon gas if you do, is well worth the test.
Always Look for Leaks and Repair Them
Humidity and rain can create moisture inside and spawn mold and mildew. These are strong contributors to unhealthy indoor air. Dampness alone is connected with elevated risks of wheezing, coughing, and asthma symptoms. Be proactive and check your roof, basement, crawlspaces and foundation for possible leaks or moisture problems before they can cause dampness in your home. Be certain to direct water away from your home's foundation.
Preparing your rentals for the vacation season2016-02-11 12:38:44
While it may be cool now, spring break is coming soon and with that so are the vacationers. Spring and summer is what makes Destin and Santa Rosa Beach such a popular area for tourists, they come here to go deep sea fishing, inshore fishing and various water sports because the temperature is nice and hot. With the hot temperatures of spring and summer also comes air conditioner problems. The last thing a vacationer wants to deal with is having to contact a rental manager to have their air conditioning fixed. Now is the time for property managers to be proactive. A/C units need maintenance on an annual basis to lengthen the life of the units and to identify problems before the guests get here. It is well known that people are more likely to complain more so about where things went wrong with their stay more so than when they have gone right. So be proactive and give us a call.
So what do you do to get ready for the heatwave?2015-03-30 20:03:00
Summertime is almost here, and before it gets too warm it may be time to make sure you're ready for the hot Florida weather.
While the Florida panhandle is home to some of the most pristine beaches in the world, the emerald water and sandy beaches are not going to help your home stay cool during those scorching hot days of summer.
So what do you do to get ready for the heatwave?
– First, change your filters in your heating/cooling system. make sure to check and change them regularly, at least monthly.
– The next thing is to change your thermostat over to "cool" and test the system by turning the temperature down. If the air conditioner does not turn on, first check to make sure no breakers are tripped. If you can't figure out the problem, it would be a good time to call Beachside Air Conditioning. Calling early may keep you from making an "emergency" call when the temperatures are soaring and the repair people are too busy.
– If your cooling system turns on, make sure it is putting out adequate cooling. If it's not, and you can't figure out the problem, call Beachside Air Conditioning. Make sure you set it at 78 degrees.
– If your air conditioner needs replacement, it is always better to do it before the hot Florida summer weather hits.
– You may also want to consider changing your old thermostat to a programmable one. You can save up to $100 a year by using a new programmable thermostat. If your thermostat is really old and uses a mercury switch give Beachside Air Conditioning a call today.
– Consider installing a whole-house fan that uses cool air in the evening to cool the entire house and push hot air out of the attic area.
-Install living room and bedroom ceiling fans as well as whole house fans to help reduce your need to use the air conditioner.
– Take down the old storm windows, if you live in areas where you need them, and put up screens in their place.
With these energy-ready tips in place you should be ready for that Florida summer heatwave.
Indoor Air Quality2014-07-07 19:17:34
The air that we breathe in our homes is very important to our health, and if you think that the air inside your home is the safest air to inhale … You may be very surprised. When you hear the words "air pollution", most people tend to think of smug, auto pollution, factory smoke and other pollutants that are so widely known and publicized. However, according to most experts, indoor air is some of the most heavily polluted and extremely dangerous to our health if left unmanaged. Leading researchers have found that the air inside of your home may be anywhere from 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside of our home, and since we spend the majority of our time in our homes this poses a significant health risk. This is a huge concern for most of us, and the first step to fixing the problem is identifying the problem and the risks associated with it.
Fortunately enough for us, prevention and maintenance of poor indoor air quality is both easy and affordable, both your home and office can have clean, safe air. Ignoring the quality of the air in your home can lead to a range of serious health issues for everyone in your home, things such as the development of infections in the lungs, lung cancer, and chronic lung diseases such as asthma. These are very serious conditions, but there are also less extreme issues that can arise from poor air quality such as headaches, nausea, nasal congestion, dry eyes, and fatigue. If you ignore these issues they can even lead to structural degradation and building failures such as peeling paint, window condensation, back-drafting appliances, and encourage mold growth. You may be wondering, "How do I know if I have poor indoor air quality?" …
Musty odors, or a general feeling of hot and stuffiness inside the building in question are common signs, as well as symptoms that are frequent at work but go away when leaving, like fever, a cough, or shortness of breath. Not all of these are linked to poor indoor air quality, but these symptoms in combination with a number of environmental factors could mean you're living with poor indoor air quality and putting your health at risk. Most common environmental factors that contribute to subpar indoor air quality are things like not having enough ventilation or fresh supply of outdoor air or contaminated air being brought into the building. Other things such as construction and remodeling can also contribute to poor indoor air quality but aren't as common as things like high humidity, poor maintenance of your outdoor air conditioning unit and dampness and moisture due to leaks in the home.
There is no single test to check and determine the quality of your indoor air, but inspection of the ventilation ducts as well as monitoring of the temperature and humidity and airflow are all essential to preventing poor indoor air quality and the chances for getting sick from it. In certain cases, specialized tests may be required to test for things such as radon and asbestos, you should voice your concern for the needs of these tests to a certified air conditioning serviceman. Ideally the best prevention is source control, what we mean by this is eliminating the cause of potential indoor air pollutants. You can take measures such as not smoking in your home any longer, or reducing the use of chemical solvents and cleaners you use while cleaning up. Take steps to eliminate odors, not just mask them … Use baking soda when appropriate to neutralize odors instead of air fresheners (which have Volatile Organic Chemicals) in them.
If you take just a few small steps, in addition to getting an air purifier you can reduce the amount of contaminants in your home today and start breathing cleaning fresher air. However, there is no substitute for an annual inspection and maintenance of your air conditioning unit and ventilation system. With professional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning services, your home can go from having unhealthy air to being a fresh haven of pure and clean air. At Supreme air conditioning we are able to identify the sources of allergens within your home and work to eliminate them.

The U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder ordered the judicial department to abscond the charges against him, a former U.S. Senator from Alaska for the cause of hiding 25,000 Dollars in gifts obtained in his office.The officials said that the errors were created by prosecutors through his trial turn into the conviction is reversed.

SAN JOSE — The convicted child molester who had permission from the Diocese of San Jose to volunteer at a St. Frances Cabrini Parish festival last fall was sentenced Wednesday to 30 days in county jail for violating his probation.
After the court hearing, prosecutor Bill Butler expressed satisfaction with Mark Gurries' sentence, but he lambasted the Diocese for allowing Gurries to work at an event attended by many children.
"How that institution and its leaders, whether at St. Frances Cabrini or beyond, could allow a known sex registrant child molester to work at the school is beyond my comprehension," Butler said.
Gurries on Wednesday admitted that he violated his probation by volunteering at the festival, though he had a letter from the Diocese giving him permission to be there. Someone at the Diocese had signed the letter, which was then given to the Santa Clara County Probation Department.
"The whole sad truth is he was asked to be" at the festival by someone from the church, Gurries' attorney Garrett Lew said.
Gurries, 51, was convicted in May 2010 of one count of lewd and lascivious acts on a minor under 14 years old and sentenced to one year in jail. Included in Gurries' sentence was an order that he "not work, be self-employed nor do volunteer work in (an) organization that involves supervision of children under 18 years."
In that case, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office charged Gurries with six counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14 and sought a longer prison sentence, but made the deal after the victim refused to testify.
As part of his deal, Gurries was put on a lifetime registered sex offender list.
"We wanted to at least make sure the community was on notice that he was a child molester," Butler said. "That very safeguard we put into place failed because the Catholic Church, in a sense, looked the other way" by allowing him to volunteer at the school. Lew said Gurries was not supervising children at the festival, which he viewed as a church activity, not a school activity. Lew said Gurries has done everything asked of him by the court and Probation Department and thought he was OK to volunteer.
When asked about Gurries' claim that he was asked to volunteer, a Diocese of San Jose spokeswoman on Wednesday said "we have no comment and the matter is closed."
Diocese officials in November acknowledged that a former employee from its personnel department wrote a letter for Gurries at his request. The letter stated, "Gurries informed me that he occasionally volunteers at the Saint Frances Cabrini School and Parish."
But Gurries was told he "would not be permitted to volunteer" in unsupervised activities with children.
Neither the Diocese nor Gurries' attorney would name the woman who signed the letter. Gurries was at the festival on Oct. 6 when a former student who knew his victim recognized him. The student and a group of parents demanded the Rev. Lieu Vu remove Gurries from the festival. But Vu defended Gurries, saying he had a right to be there and should be forgiven. The heated confrontation ended several hours later when a Santa Clara County sheriff's deputy at the festival asked Gurries to leave.
On Nov. 19 the Diocese of San Jose announced Vu had resigned as the parish priest.
In 2010, if Gurries had been convicted of the original six counts, he could have faced more than 10 years in prison, Butler said.
"It was a horrifying set of events that led to him being put on probation," Butler said.
Lew argued that Gurries was not supervising children at the parish but chose to admit the probation violation to "resolve it and move forward."
"I think it was one of these firestorms, based on the publicity, and the fact he was a sex offender, coupled with the Catholic Church, who has its own problems, it was a confluence of the worst combination of factors, and he ended up getting hammered," Lew said.

I usually shy away from military related books, and short story collections, so I'm still a bit surprised I even picked this up since it fits both of those categories. I'd seen it mentioned on one of those Amazon Editors' Picks lists, and when I saw it at Barnes and Noble, I started reading the first few pages just out of curiosity. One reason I was slightly more interested in this one than other military novels is that one review had said that this collection might have a hard time appealing to civilians since it doesn't change up the language much or anything.
Having said that, I thought the collection was rather well done, and rang true even if I couldn't relate to many of the details or the specifics. To be honest, I think that's another reason I am not that drawn to military books. I never feel like they tell my story, and to be honest, a book about my deployments would be rather boring. I was in a PLS company and did convoys on one, and during the other I had a staff job - I had long hours, but my actual job was predictable and as safe as you could possibly get in a war zone. However, there were a few stories that actually did remind me of some of my experiences.
The one that comes most specifically to mind was the story told from the perspective of the Foreign Service Officer. I wasn't in a civil affairs unit or anything like that, but much of my second deployment was focused on partnering with the Iraqi Army units in an advise and assist role. As a result, some of the things definitely rang true since I remember my Soldiers complaining about the fact that we kept teaching them the same things, they totally knew what they were doing, and in some cases, our systems wouldn't work because they had their own. I also a meeting with one particular Iraqi leader which basically turned into him giving us a laundry list of things they wanted - of course, we couldn't legally give him any of the things he requested but it shows the difference between what we were able to offer and what they actually wanted for themselves.
Honestly, I just enjoyed seeing the names of places I'd been mentioned in writing, such as Al Asad, Taji, Anaconda/Balad, Ramadi and even Istaqlaal (I was based in the first two, and brief stops or convoys to the others) as well as seeing other recognizable places and names. Klay was a Marine and most of the stories are from the perspective of Marines, so the acronyms weren't always familiar. Then again, if you talk to a Field Artillery guy in the Army and a logistics guy, you are already dealing with two slightly different cultures and vocabularies so that's not exactly a surprise. As far as how well it reflects how people feel after combat and their experiences, I can't judge but it mostly rings true or at least conforms to what we think people must feel based on other books that have been published about the last decade of war.


text: A common question among customers using the Distributed File System snap-in in Windows Server 2003 is how to create a namespace more than two levels deep. For example, a customer in the DFS_FRS newsgroup was frustrated because he knew how to create a root, and he knew how to create a link named Homedirectories, but what he really wanted was to organize the home directories by location, such as \CompanyHomedirectoriesSeattle, \CompanyHomedirectoriesChicago, etc. The snap-in wouldn't let him create a sublink (Chicago) beneath an existing link (Homedirectories), so he was stuck. The way to accomplish this is easy but not intuitive. Just create links with subfolders and backslashes () as part of the name. For example, under the Company root, the customer can create a link named HomedirectoriesSeattle and another link named HomedirectoriesChicago, thus giving him a deeper namespace. We've made this easier in the DFS Management snap-in in Windows Server 2003 R2 by providing a more Explorer-like feel when you build the namespace. You can create multiple levels of subfolders under a root, and these are shown hierarchically.

Superb start for Eslovs
TTCLM Round 1, Group C: KST Energa-Manekin – Eslovs AI Bordtennis 0:3
The 2014/15 ETTU Cup winner had an easy job in Poland, playing Round 1 game of TTCLM: KST Energa-Manekin Torun - Eslovs AI Bordtennis 0:3. Swedish champion needed just two hours to beat newcomer in this competition.
The opening game has determined the whole clash, when Robert SVENSSON beat Cazuo MATSUMOTO in five games. Brazilian MATSUMOTO, who arrived in Torun just few days ago, missed two set balls in the opening set and soon he was two sets down. But, he managed to level the score after four sets. Finally, SVENSSON secured important victory for his side.
In the next two matches Eslovs` players showed how is important an experience from TTCLM. First, XU Hui easily overcame Tomas KOTOWSKI in straight games. Konrad KULPA was the last hope for the Torun`s team, but he just took one set from Mattias OVERSJO.

(CNN) -- Interstate 95 was fully open Wednesday south of Baltimore, Maryland, as investigators sought clues in the crash of a tanker truck that fell onto the expressway from an overpass the day before, killing four people.
At one point, Maryland Transportation Authority officers said five people had died, but they later revised the number of fatalities to four -- the driver of the tanker and three others. Authorities attributed the mistake to confusion at the scene.
The explosion at about 3 p.m. ET Tuesday ignited a blaze that started a brush fire in a nearby field and forced the temporary shutdown of one of the East Coast's main highways, police and fire officials said.
The falling tanker hit at least two tractor-trailers and two passenger vehicles, including a pickup, when it fell from the Interstate 895 overpass above I-95, said Gary McLhinney, police chief of the Maryland Transportation Authority.
The victims have not been identified, said Authority Police Cpl. Greg Prioleau.
Investigators are analyzing debris from the scene to determine the cause of the crash, Prioleau said.
They also are interviewing witnesses, including a truck driver who jumped from his vehicle shortly before the crash, according to Maryland Transportation Secretary Robert Flanagan.
The National Transportation Safety Board has sent investigators to the scene.
On Tuesday night, engineers inspected the overpass and determined it was safe before reopening I-95 with patches and barrels in lieu of guard rail that was broken, Flanagan said. Permanent repairs will be done at a later date, he said.
Traffic began moving on the southbound lanes of I-95 on Tuesday evening, and the northbound ones were opened about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, Flanagan said.
It's unclear what kind of liquid the tanker truck was carrying, but fire officials said it was believed to be petroleum-based, judging from the flames and thick, black smoke.
Fire trucks from nearby Baltimore-Washington International Airport used fire-suppression foam to put out the flames.

Last nights game was a set-to between Native Warriors and a plucky British Expeditionary Force on the dusty plains of
The rules themselves are from the Warmaster school of game design where units can attempt multiple actions which get increasingly difficult, but run the risk of whole commands becoming paralysed.
The game started as a cagey affair mainly because we all kept failing command rolls but eventually the Martian Askaris began to advance while my regulars faffed about on the left flank.
After a few turns of inactivity the Giant Martian Cavalry charged my Scout Tank and proceeded to spend the rest of the game hammering on the outside but not actually causing enough damage.
My regulars continued to not do very much apart from one successful volley which wiped out a unit of enemy artillery. Colin's natives and cavalry meanwhile had charged home crashing through successive units and causing the Martian left flank to collapse, winning us the day.
As a true Imperialist however I decided that the British Regulars had won the day and tried to take as much credit as possible!
I hadn't played Martian Empires for ages and had forgotten what a fun set of rules they are. They'd also be easily adaptable for 'normal' colonial games. I've never really got into the Burroughs stories but I'd be very tempted by them for a Wells inspired game [not that I'm going to because I don't need another project and I have willpower... yes I do...honest...!].

Check out this amazing blog!!!
Although formula companies have always used aggressive marketing tactics to sell their products to as many people as possible, it seems lately they've upped the ante. Tanya at Motherwear recently blogged about Enfamil's latest deceptive marketing tactic: calling one of their formulas "The Breast Milk Formula" and having that as the title of their web page. At the time Tanya called this the most blatant form of unethical marketing she'd ever seen. Perhaps she spoke too soon.
It seems now Abbott Pharmaceuticals, makers of Similac, are trying to one-up Enfamil. Their latest tactics? The celebrity endorsement (ads featuring Extreme Home Makeover's Ty Pennington) and now, placing ads for formula in magazines not directly aimed at parents. Of course you expect to see tons of formula ads in magazines like Parenting, Parents, American Baby, etc. The entire magazines seem to be one giant advertisement for formula and although I don't think it's right (and it's a violation of the WHO Code), it makes sense to use your dollars wisely and aim for your target audience: people who have kids.
This week Similac has a 4-page spread in People magazine for its new "Early Shield" formula, which supposedly offers immune system health through a combination of "prebiotics, nucleotides and antioxidants." The ad was on thick, glossy paper and had to cost Similac a pretty penny. If you haven't seen the ad, check out the scans below.
Again, this ad appeared in People, a celebrity weekly. People, that has nothing to do with parenting, kids or babies, but does have a large female readership of childbearing age. It's depressing to think that before women are even thinking of having kids, they are now going to be bombarded with messages from the formula companies. Formula companies have the big bucks to spend on gorgeous images like the ones above of adorable, serene babies who are dependent on Similac to provide them with their immune system health. The science is bogus but the Lactivist community just can't counter offer a positive breastfeeding message because we don't have the dollars to create similar ads. Best for Babes' campaign is a good start, but how can you compete with giant pharma companies?
We do still have the power to effect change. After complaints to the Federal Trade Commission, Enfamil changed its website from "the breast formula" to "Enfamil Lipil." Let's inundate the FTC with complaints about these types of ads as well. You should also write or tweet People magazine and let them know how you feel about these types of ads. I am posting below a letter that Marsha Walker, IBCLC and Executive Director of the National Alliance for Breastfeeding Advocacy, sent to People. Marsha has given permission for anyone to use all or part of her letter as well.
I was quite dismayed to see advertising for infant formula in your
magazine and on your Celebrity Baby Blog website. As you know, this is
a product that competes unfairly with breastfeeding, something which
many of your profiled celebrities practice. The appearance of infant
formula advertising next to photos of celebrities and their babies
implies that famous people use the product and so should readers of
your magazine and website. The use of infant formula increases the risk
of unhealthy outcomes for infants and mothers, something you would not
wish to promote. The Federal Government and all major health agencies
and organizations recommend breastfeeding as the preferred method of
feeding babies. The Healthy People 2010 health goals for the nation
from the Department of Health and Human Services specifically targets
the increase of breastfeeding as a public health intervention to reduce
acute and chronic diseases and conditions and as a method of lowering
the expenditure of scarce health care dollars.
As a way to improve the health of your readership and their children,
please consider running pro bono ads for breastfeeding in fairness to a
public health behavior that does not have large amounts of corporate
promotion dollars. Your magazine and website reach millions of women in
their childbearing years who would benefit greatly from your support of
Should you wish more information or copies of breastfeeding ads to be
placed in your magazine and on your website, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Thank you for your time.
Marsha Walker, RN, IBCLC
Executive Director
National Alliance for Breastfeeding Advocacy
Marsha also discussed this new trend some more with me. This is what she had to say:
Formula ads in mainstream magazines and websites is the latest tactic in formula marketing strategy. Banner ads for formula have been saturating the internet at sites than women frequent having nothing to do with children or parenting. Not only is formula marketing permeating new sites but the aggressiveness of the language used in the ads have reached new lows. Spurious claims on company websites declare that their products contain the same ingredients as breast milk, that these manufactured ingredients perform the same way that breast milk does, and that infants fed these products will enjoy the same health and cognitive outcomes as breastfed infants. Obviously, many people think the two are the same thing, especially when the terms "infant formula" and "breast milk" appear next to each other in the same sentence as equivalent nutritional sources. This was seen in a study using a Health Styles Questionnaire. In 1999, 2636 people were sampled and asked if they agreed or disagreed with a number of health statements including "Infant formula is as good as breast milk." In 1999, 14.3% agreed with that statement. When the study was repeated in 2003, 25% of the sample agreed with the statement. Mothers have made the following statements:
• "I want the breastmilk formula"

text: Ganesh Chaturthi is perhaps the main festival of Mumbaikars and is celebrated with great gusto and pomp throughout the city. Celebrations carry on for a period of 10 days where statues of elephant-god Ganesh are set up and worshipped. On the last day, massive statues of Ganesh or Ganpati are carried out in huge processions accompanied with music and chanting of "Ganpati Bappa Moriya". These statues are then taken to the seaside and immersed. Chowpatty Beach is a spectacle worth seeing this day.

The key to ensuring that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are as successful, or even more impactful, than the MDGs is that there must be a critical analysis of the failings of the MDGs and efforts to address these problems with the creation of the SDGs. Momentum alone will not drive the SDGs. They will be successful only if they reflect on the MDGs.
This article will look at various understandings of the success of the MDGs and find various areas for improvement with the upcoming SDGs. How can the impact of the MDGs be measured? What were the strengths and weaknesses in the content of the MDGs? And, more broadly, how can the MDGs be translated into the SDGs? Should the SDGs be simply a continuation of the MDGs or do they need to take a new direction?
Before discussing improvements and questions about the MDGs, it is important to understand what is the general consensus on the progress that has been made. Overall, the goals have been very successful. Most criteria have been, or are on their way to being, achieved.
How is Success Measured?
There are two main questions in terms of the measurement of the success of the MDGs. Determining just how successful the MDGs were is essential in terms of deciding how to craft the SDGs. First, there is the issue of the difference between measuring the success of lower-income vs. higher-income nations. And secondly, there is the question of the timeframe in which MDG goals were measured.
Research has shown that there is a distinction between high-income and low-income countries and their rates of fulfillment of the MDGs. While the overall success of the MDGs has been staggering, high-income countries have been the greatest beneficiaries of the initiatives while low-income countries have struggled to meet many of the goals.
This is counter-intuitive as the goals were created largely to address problems in lower-income countries. In fact, some of the goals—such as achieving universal primary education and reducing child mortality—were almost completely achieved in high-income countries before the MDGs were created. Therefore, statistics showing the success of the MDGs are somewhat misleading. Countries that were already developed, wealthy, and fulfilling MDG goals before they were implemented are leading to higher statistics on the success of the UN global development mission.
In 2011 (albeit five years before the MDG deadline) the World Bank's World Development Report found that:
"No low-income fragile or conflict-affected country has yet achieved a single MDG. And the problems of fragile states spread easily: They drag down neighbors with violence that overflows borders, because conflicts feed on narcotics, piracy, and gender violence, and leave refugees and broken infrastructure in their wake. Their territories can become breeding grounds for far-reaching networks of violent radicals and organized crime."
It is not simply the status as a low-income nation that indicates a lack of MDG achievement, but rather various problems that often co-occur with, or are caused by, poverty levels.
Low-income nations often experience high levels of violence and instability. These factors indicate that more focus will be placed on combating immediate issues of security and safety and therefore, the MDGs are lower on the priority list. This is completely logical, but it means that when evaluating the success of the MDGs, it is important to look at the nations that have the most to gain with these goals. Evaluating MDG success as a whole is encouraging, but potentially misleading as to how much progress has been made in lower-income nations.
A more recent report (2014) on this issue found that of 55 nations affected by crisis or instability, even the most successful country had achieved only slightly more than half of the MDG targets. While this progress is certainly commendable, it is indicative of all that is necessary of the upcoming SDGs to achieve worldwide development across low-income and high-income nations.
There has also been research studying the time frame during which the MDGs have been achieved. Howard Steven Friedman published a report in 2013 suggesting that fulfillment of many of the MDGs began before the goals were implemented. Friedman found that MDG indicators that were successful often experienced an acceleration before 2000 (when the goals were created). This is, to an extent, expected, as the MDGs were selected based on need. Many nations probably identified these areas before 2000, and began addressing them before the global developmental initiative. However, these statistics look to change how successful we consider the MDGs themselves and suggest that improvements can be made with the upcoming SDGs.
What Issues Are Most Important?
As the deadline approaches, one of the remaining questions on the structure of the MDGs relates to their content. The goals are relatively few and their language leaves room for interpretation. Some have argued that it is the MDGs brevity that has led to their success; nations can address the facets of the goals that are prevalent within their borders. Others think that the SDGs would benefit from increased specificity to better monitor success and ensure that certain benchmarks are clear.
The main aspect of the MDGs is certainly reducing poverty, which is extremely important, but there is room for expansion within the SDGs. In addition to the umbrella term of poverty, the issue of equity needs to be a centerpiece in the SDGs. It is important to connect the problem of poverty to a variety of other developmental issues. If the issue of poverty is addressed, there is a natural transition to education, combating diseases, and increasing gender equality.
Advocates have already come out stating which issues they think are necessary to emphasize or expand in the transition from the MDGs to the SDGs. Executive Director of UNICEF, Anthony Lake, stated that: "The MDGs helped the world realize tremendous progress for children – but they also showed us how many children we are leaving behind." Jen Kates, Director of Global Health and HIV Policy at the Kaiser Foundation, said that "Health is one piece of a much more crowded space that will compete for attention and finances, when we still haven't finished the job" in the creation of the SDGs. These opinions state that goals within the MDG framework still need to be addressed, such as education and healthcare.
However, there must also be room for new issues to be included in the conversation about crafting the SDGs. Examples of these topics include environmental changes, social exclusion, and reproductive health. (These issues in particular have been discussed by the UN Task Team on the Post-2015 UN Development Agenda).
With so many questions of the scope and scale of the MDGs—brief or specific, many goals or few—there needs to be a strong organizational plan for the SDGs. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has suggested a plan establishing a two-part approach for the SDGs. They suggest a global level with broader goals, like what existed with the MDGs, and a national level, which would include specific targets based on different countries individual capabilities.
There must also be room for new issues to be included in the conversation about crafting the SDGs.
Specificity versus brevity is a balancing act that the SDGs will need to work with. Surely clear, concise, and universal goals are key, however these features must be achieved while also covering the broad range of issues that are relevant to global development.
Who is Involved?
When speaking about worldwide development, there is a lot of focus on just what issues are the most crucial to address, from poverty to gender equality to eradicating disease. But apart from what, it is important to ask the question of who. The MDGs were largely a product national foreign affairs and developmental officials. While these two branches of government were necessary for the MDGs and will continue to be important for the SDGs, there are others who should be involved.
These goals must resonate worldwide with populations, not just with governmental officials. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already reported that they are holding discussions about the post-2015 agenda among various parties, including the private sector and academia. This is a god start towards multi-sector cooperation on determining what happens after the MDG deadline expires. If the SDGs become common initiatives with governmental cooperation and public support, they will be much more effective and easier to implement.
Additionally, some of the authors of the MDGs have stated that the creation of the goals was led largely by a few nations without input from many of the developing countries that the goals were created to assist. Inclusiveness is necessary, both among different parties within a country and between different countries in crafting the SDGs.
Another component that is essential in considering the SDGs is discussing the cost of implementing these goals. Many of the countries that are most affected by these goals are also those that don't have the capability to fund their implementation. While aid is increasing, the financing component of the MDGs, and now SDGs, is essential. (For more on this issue, see Ray Chamber's interview).
It is clear that the MDGs have been a huge victory for worldwide development. They have brought attention to a variety of problems plaguing countries around the world, clarified and articulated clear and universal goals, and made great progress on these issues. The SDGs have great potential to follow-up on this progress. But they will only do so if they critically analyze and improve upon the MDGs.
There are questions of measurement—how do you determine success when there are a variety of different countries trying to achieve the same goals and these goals exist on a timeline that began before the MDGs were created. There are questions of content—which goals are most important and how specific should these goals be. And lastly there is the question of who needs to be involved—who should decide what goals are important and who should be involved in their implementation; how can they be helpful and effective worldwide, and who has the capability to finance them.
This article began by asking some questions; questions about the success of the MDGs and how they translate into the SDGs. These are questions that don't have a single answer. There are many ways to craft the SDGs and no one can know which method ensures success. But while there are multiple methods, it is crucial that the creation of the SDGs includes reflection and progress in the thinking about how to solve these global problems. The SDGs as the MDGs 2.0—clarified, improved upon, and ready to take on the challenge of ensuring global development.

OK. I know what you're thinking. Half of you are thinking "its about time!", and the other half of you are thinking "....Tia, please say it isn't so".
I feared the Twilight-obsessed, like most of you probably have at one time or another. I first heard about the books one night while I was at my last job. I don't think I was even paying attention to the girl that was talking about them. I just responded "oh that sounds cool", when really I was pulling it in one ear and pushing it out the other. Another Harry Potter, I thought to myself. I heard about it a few more times, and picked up on both facts that it was about Vampires and romance. Two things I liked, but for some reason was embarrassed to admit. I guess because its hip to like Vampires. And I hate to be hip. Or, I hate to admit that I like to be hip? Because I am. Hip? That word has completely lost its meaning now that I've typed it 4 times, by the way. Does that ever happen to you? Anyways, so we got my mom the book for Christmas, and I asked her if I could read it when she finished, knowing she'd probably never read it, but satisfied at my attempt to give in to my hidden lust for this annoying series that I was trying so hard to avoid. And then out of nowhere, one morning I came down the stairs, and there it was, sitting next to the computer on the desk. Christopher had bought it for me. Well, I still couldn't read it, because I didn't have any reading glasses. Take that, Mr. Herman. You can only guess that he bought me reading glasses a few weeks later. Nice try, but I've got kids to take care of, and... dishes to do. The book and glasses slowly made their way from the desk, to the couch. They sat there for awhile. Next thing I know, they were on the end table, which is really a bar stool usually covered with a magazine and a water glass. And then somehow, the thick rimmed black glasses were on my face and the book was stuck to my fingers, about 6 inches from my eyes. Crap.

400 Brant Street, Burlington, On., (905) 632-1300, Lunch and Dinner, 7 days a week, Late night, kid friendly, Private Parties
My son Thomas and I decided to go for dinner on Thursday evening. We thought we would go back to Queen's Head, a place we used to frequent quite often. It is a typical British Pub, on Brant Street in downtown Burlington, that serves comfort food (perfect for a cold evening in winter).
It has a number of different rooms inside and a large patio overlooking the street. The patio is very lively on warm summer nights.
We hadn't been here for a while and found some interesting changes on their menu. The special tonight was a ground jerk chicken burger. It was very tasty and was accompanied by sweet potatoes, which were quite good.
I chose the steak and mushroom pie covered with puff pastry and filled with tender beef chunks and mushrooms, with a rich brown gravy and yukon potatoes. It was accompanied with some seasonal vegetables, that were perfectly cooked.
We accompanied our meals with pints of Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale. A very satisfying meal, typical of most pubs. The service was timely and our waiter was friendly. They seem to be trying to expand their menu and get more creative and that's a good thing.
