1. Used For :
Attention deficit disorder
2. How Ritalin Works :
I don't know exactly why it produces the effects it does. Methylphenidate (Ritalin) was first synthesized in 1944 in an (unsuccessful) attempt to create a stimulant that would not induce addiction or tolerance. Ritalin is very closely related to amphetamine: similar in chemical structure, metabolization and clinical effects. This close connection is the chief reason Ritalin use raises concern among patients and others.
3. Do Not Use If
You have high blood pressure or any form of heart disease, are very nervous or have severe insomnia, have a history of addiction to drugs or alcohol. Do not combine with monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
4. Common Side Effects :
Nervousness including agitation, anxiety and irritability
Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
Decreased appetite
Stomach ache
Heart palpitations
4. Other Serious Side Effects Include :
Slowing of growth (height and weight) in children
Seizures, mainly in patients with a history of seizures
Eyesight changes or blurred vision
Less Common Side Effects
High blood pressure
Rapid pulse rate (and other heart problems)
Tolerance (constant need to raise the dose)
Feelings of suspicion and paranoia
Visual hallucinations (seeing things that are not there)
Cocaine craving
Dermatoses (infected or diseased skin)
Urinary tract infection
Infection or viral infection
Elevated ALT enzyme levels in the blood (signaling liver damage)
5. Overdose Side Effects :
Methylphenidate drugs have been extensively abused. Extreme psychological dependence and severe social disability have resulted. Abuse of methylphenidate drugs may cause a sudden heart attack even in those with no signs of heart disease. Symptoms of overdose that require immediate medical assistance include:
Panic states
Hyperreflexia (overactive reflexes, which can include twitching or spasms)
Personality changes
Symptoms of depression
Seizures or abnormal EEGs
High blood pressure
Rapid heart beat
Swelling of hands/feet/ankles (for example, numbing of the fingertips)
Unexplained muscle pain
Lower abdominal pain
Rhabdomyolysis and kidney damage
Chronic abuse can manifest itself as psychosis, often indistinguishable from schizophrenia
6. What to Do About Side Effects :
The last dose of the drug every day should be taken several hours before bedtime to prevent insomnia.
Nervousness usually goes away and appetite often returns so that weight loss is rarely dangerous.
If high blood pressure, rapid pulse, paranoia, or tolerance becomes a problem, the drug is usually stopped.
Nothing can be done about the addiction except to remember not to stop taking any version of methylphenidate abruptly.

This sweet fruit gets juicier as it ripens and ranges in taste from spicy-sweet to tart-sweet. There are over 5,000 varieties grown, but the most common varieties are Anjou, Asian, Bosc, and Bartlett. Each one adds a distinct and delicate flavour to dishes, such as salads, soups, and desserts.
How to Pick Pears:
They may be hard and unripe when you buy them, but they ripen the longer they are off the tree. Choose pears that are free of blemishes and firm. If they are soft to the touch at the stem end and have a rich pear scent, they are ready to eat.
How to Store Pears:
If they are not yet ripe (firm), store them at room temperature until ripened. If the pears are already ripe, they should be refrigerated in an open plastic bag and will last up to five days.
How to Prepare Pears:
Pears can be eaten whole, skin and all, just like an apple. If you do peel them, a vegetable peeler works really well. When peeled, you'll want to make sure they are dipped in a mixture of lemon juice and water (acidulated water) to keep them from turning brown. To core a pear, either slice it into quarters and cut out the core, or cut the pear in half and use a melon baller to scoop out the core.
There are many ways in which you can prepare a pear in addition to eating them raw, including: baking, grilling, poaching, roasting, sautéing, and stewing.
1 pound = 3 medium pears = two cups sliced
Kary's Pear Tips:
- When cooking with pears, the firmer the better.
- Asian pears are best enjoyed firm, rather than ripe and soft.
- Anjou pears are great for poaching as they have firm flesh, which holds its shape well.
- If storing pears in the fridge, it's important to store them in a perforated or open bag, or the fruit will darken at the centre.
- Pears and apples are interchangeable in most recipes.
- Pears go so well with cheese, nuts, and chocolate.
- When baking or poaching whole pears, choose pairs that are similar in size. That way they'll cook at the same rate.
- To ripen your fruit, place in a paper bag with an apple and puncture the bag several times with a knife. Store at room temperature.
What Do Pears Go Well With?
Pears go well with: apples, almonds, brandy, cheese (blue, brie, feta and goat), chocolate, cinnamon, cloves, ice cream, figs, and ginger.

Friday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
Hello! How was the weekend? Mine was fairly busy - on Saturday we headed up to New Hampshire to the Richard Petty driving school, where we got to be a passenger in a NASCAR car - a pretty neat experience! I spent the afternoon baking, and on Saturday night we headed out to our friend's birthday party. We got to see a bunch of our friends, and had a really great time, except for one incident.
One of our friends took public transportation to the party, and by the time things wound down, the buses/trains weren't running anymore...so he just assumed I was going to give him a ride home! And the worst part was, he didn't even really ask, he just sort of said, "Oh, hey, you're going home this way, right?", which we really weren't, and then he really had no way to get home. I was so irritated, especially because we had talked party transportation logistics previously, and he never brought up getting a ride home from me. I wouldn't care so much except that this is not the first or second time he's done this to me. On top of that, he didn't even really want to be at the party (kept reminding me that he was "making an appearance" because he was already going to be in the area, and kept letting me know how he was going to show up drunk).
But anyway, on Sunday we went to my parents' house for Father's Day dinner with my mom, dad, aunt, and grandparents. It was a nice dinner, and I always like hanging out with my family.
So here are some outfits from the weekend/week. First up is my outfit from Friday. The skirt is new, and has a cute zipper fly with a button tab at the waistband, so it has a different look than regular side or back zip skirts. I can't remember if the sweater is new though - I may have worn it before, but I'm not sure. After work, I swapped the heels out for a pair of pink flip-flops. I love the neutral colors with the bright pink of the sweater.
This is what I wore to Father's Day dinner. I actually wore this dress to Father's Day brunch a couple of years ago, but I honestly don't think I've worn it since. I was planning on wearing another dress, but when I put it on, I saw it had a stain on it, so I went with this one. The sweater is new-ish - I may have worn it once before, but I can't remember.
I'm wearing my cream colored flower flats - I'm totally loving these shoes! They are a great neutral with a little something extra, and are great for casual or dressy outfits. They are quickly becoming my go-to flat, and for only $8, you really can't beat that!
Here's what I wore to work yesterday. The weather has been gorgeous lately, so I'm not really feeling pants, so I'm trying to do the dress/skirt thing for as long as I can. The dress is new - I bought it last year or the year before, and I love the print! I don't wear a lot of prints, but I think this one is fun enough but still not too crazy so I can wear it to the office. I layered a cami underneath because it has a pretty deep V. The color combination in the dress lends itself easily to a lot of different color options for a cardigan (I went with grey).
And lastly, here's what I'm wearing today. Today's new thing is my shoes - I love these shoes! When nude pumps become a big trend, I went on a hunt looking for the "perfect" pair, and I think these are it (for me, at least)! I paired it with my bright floral skirt and a pink sweater.
I'm not sure if these shoes are leather, but they're at least faux-leather, and they have a nice, rounded toe with a small platform. They are a solid, sturdy pair of heels, and I just love the neutral color and the little peek of red on the inside. I read online reviews that said they were a little small, but I took my regular size, and when the first pair came, I actually ordered a second pair because I love them so much. (And it's a good thing I did, because they haven't come back in stock!)

As a big fan of the 'Back to the Future' trilogy, I was slightly in awe when I realised earlier that today, 27th June 2012, is in fact the date that 'Doc Brown' set in his DeLorean to time travel into the future.
For although the films were released slightly before what I recall of them, I am nevertheless a big fan. Indeed, I am slightly odd I suppose in being a particular fan of the 2nd film which is generally regarded as being the weaker of the 3. Why do I like it? Because it plays with both the 'present' of 1985, the 'past' of 1955 and the 'future' of...wait a minute here...2012?!
It suddenly struck me that the dates just didn't look right. 1985 minus 30 leads to 1955 so why leap 27 years to 2012 and not 30 years to 2015? Oh, and why to June when it was the fall that always played the central part of the narrative.
On doing some quick investigating, it all became clear - it was a hoax! The actual date that Doc Brown typed into his DeLorean as the clip above shows was October 21st 2015!
So folks, we've got another 3 more years in which to invent that hoverboard!

How to Install Saddle Tap on Round
You simply cut the proper size hole in your round duct run or plenum, then attach your Saddle Tap using Sheet Metal Screws through the flange into the duct or plenum on approximately 6" centers. We do recommend that you seal around the Saddle Tap connection to the plenum with a duct sealant to prevent air leakage. Also see installation tip for Flexible Duct or Sheet Metal Duct, depending on which type you will be attaching to.

Analog Nights12 29 Share Tweet
The night is young and they are armed with film ammunition of various kinds. They scavenge for nocturnal people who, in turn, ravage the night's flickering lights. They love experimenting with lofiness and their ultimate dream is for everyone to get infected with the analogue fever. Ludovic shares with us the story behind his project, Analog Nights!
Tell us something about Analog Nights and its founders.
I'm Ludovic, a 23 years old dj/musician from Paris. I'm currently living in Portugal. I'm a big fan of wobbly and saturated audio, scratches, imperfections, general lofiness and unexpected results. I never had a thing for photography, until a friend of mine lent me his LC-A+ RL and I instantly fell in love with the results after shooting some rolls with my friends and family.
Analog Nights is a website that I created (previously joined by my girlfriend). It is dedicated to and patterned in the old analogue way. Right now we are focusing on photography: we provide inspiration, tips, cameras reviews, we interview experts and the talented and we organize events where we offer analogue cameras (our dream – getting everyone the analogue fever!). We write in Portuguese because there is no website in Portuguese which is dedicated to the analogue media.
How and when did Analog Nights begin?
I spent some time practising with the LC-A+ RL, taking pictures of friends at occasional parties and posting them on Flickr. One day I realized I could do a blog focusing on "party photography", so I bought a domain and, with no coding skills, I started editing a blog template I found for Wordpress. This was exactly one year ago yesterday (5th April 2010) but my first post was in the 15th of April, so I consider this date to be the official start of the blog. My girlfriend was very supportive and quickly joined the project as well; today she's like the PR of Analog Nights.
We sent some emails to promoters and we gained free passes to parties and access to backstages (oh the things I've seen) and we started shooting and posting the pictures on the blog, slowly gaining fans. We had a lot of ideas to promote the website but we were short on money (which eventually became a bigger problem, since we had no financial support from the promoters). But we kept shooting randomly, having lots of fun in the process, promoting analog photography in a culture (the club culture) that it's getting more and more hi-tech.
What subjects or themes do you usually feature?
At the start of the project we focused on photo reports; but like I said there was no financial return. We got to a point where it was really hard for us to get content for the website, since we had no money to buy and develop the films. Promoters were constantly inviting us, but as soon as we talked about expenses they usually replied, "We can give you drinks for free." We even sold some expired films to cover some expenses but that didn't last long.
We took a break from photo reports for a while, my girlfriend got a job as a bartender at a local club (which made it harder for her to photograph) and I was focusing more and more on music and taking pictures with my recently acquired Zenit 122. Analogue photography was really growing on me, which made me start reading blogs about it and searching for good photographers to get inspired; this made me realize that there were no sites in Portuguese about the theme, so I started blogging about cool photographers I found, about the history of analogue photography and I even started making interviews – the first one was with the young photographer Mary Robinson.
What are your basic film ammunition when covering events?
Cameras: usually the LC-A+ RL + Colorflash or the RingFlash and my girlfriend uses the Canon PrimaZoom.
For films I use a bunch randomly: Lomography Color and X-Pro, Kodak Gold, Agfa Vista and Fuji Superia. We also use expired films: stuff from 1986 to 1999.
I really really love to use the LC-A+ RL in parties. It's such a small and convenient camera and the people's reaction with its combination with the Ringflash combination is priceless: I get asked frequently "what the hell is that??!" and this is a great opportunity to talk about the blog and to spread the gospel of analogue photography.
Analog Nights has been involved in the analogue fever for quite some time now, which is your personal favorite article/feature to date?
Hmmm, probably the article I did about Carlos Reinesch. He's not an analogue photographer but he uses cellphones to photograph and he gets awesome results. For me he's the perfect example that people's creativity is more important than the value of your tool to photograph.
In the article I wrote:
"O trabalho de Carlos aparece como a mostra de que não importa a ferramenta que usamos: a boa fotografia estará sempre guardada por trás da nossa criatividade. É óbvio que Carlos manipula as fotografias, mas desde quando é que isso não envolve criatividade também?"
"The work of Carlos appears as one example that the tool that you use to photograph is not important: good photography is always hidden behind your creativity. It's obvious that Carlos manipulates his photos, but since when this is not part of the creative process too?"
If your dream collaboration will take place, with whom will it be and what would be your theme?
I would love to have money to buy another kit just like mine and send it to a famous dj or electronic musician and ask him to document some events from a artist point of view. Richie Hawtin is one example: I'm a fan of his work and I would love to "lend" him a film camera so he could photograph the backstage of his events because they are always so technological and complex (the Plastikman shows…). The contrast between old and new would probably produce great results. Another artist is James Holden: his public persona and personal taste is so interesting that I'm sure it would show on his photography. This kind of collaboration would be perfect.
As advocates of film photography, how does Analog Nights influence and inspire people to go back and take part in the analogue movement?
We are not very technical when we write about photography. Usually Sol (one of our collaborators, his name literally means "Sun") talks about the most complex side of it; he's a camera junkie, constantly buying new cameras and testing them to review them later on the blog.
But I like to think about Analog Nights as a blog directed to common people that love to experiment, shoot some pictures with friends in funny situations and documenting their life. Photography is not only about winning a World Press Photo contest, so we like to keep it simple, telling people that analogue photography it's not a "pro thing" and that it can be a very fun and creative way to express yourself and register special moments.
Because we are party freaks we often organize club events as one excuse to offer film cameras: our last one was at carnival where we had a costume contest!
- All photographs in this article were taken using a Lomo LC-A+. Visit Analog Nights' website and Ludovic's personal photography blog.

C2 Media buys a Xeikon 5000 digital color press
Thursday, May 05, 2005
Press release from the issuing companyItasca, IL & New York City, NY- May 04, 2005 - Xeikon America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Punch International, announces the purchase of a Xeikon 5000 digital color press by New York City - based C2 Media, Inc. - a leading supplier of digital media graphics solutions. C2 Media, with offices in seven locations in the US and Canada, offers an extremely wide range of print applications - indoor and outdoor signage, postcards, window displays, murals, promotional pieces and transit graphics among others. On a more strategic level, the company focuses on providing exceptional customer service and rapid delivery of high quality digital color prints. According to Kristof Vereenooghe, President, Xeikon America, "C2 Media has further strengthened its digital printing capabilities with the purchase of the Xeikon 5000. At present, it is the only company in New York City that would be able to utilize the unique capabilities of the Xeikon system - unmatched productivity, superior print quality, ability to handle duty cycles of up to 3 million pages/month and low total cost of operation." An experienced player in the digital printing arena, C2 Media's entire workflow and print output is digital. With a rapid increase in the number of variable data print job requests, C2 Media initiated its search for a suitable digital engine vendor. Apart from researching all the available digital printing options in the market, the company also spent a lot of time assessing the operations of successful variable data print providers in the US and Europe. According to David Manning, President, C2 Media, "We chose the Xeikon 5000 because of its powerful X-800 digital front end and its variable data printing capabilities. In addition, we were impressed with the ability of the Xeikon 5000 to print on an exceptionally wide range of substrates from 27 lb. text to 16 pt. stock and the unique Xeikon format - 20 in. wide and unlimited length." C2 Media will use the Xeikon 5000 for its variable data printing needs as well as retail POP/POS applications. The Xeikon 5000 is the first digital color press which really succeeds in combining the best of both worlds: consistent and high image quality both for short print runs as well as for runs of several million copies plus unparalleled productivity. The Xeikon 5000 also scores particularly high in terms of user friendliness and efficiency: toner can be added during a print run and press registration and calibration are automated. The new digital front end, the X-800, offers an enhanced toolbox for rapid and optimum workflow automation and integration resulting from the implementation of open standards. The X-800 has been developed with high productivity in mind: the controller is able to easily process print jobs incorporating complex graphics with variable data from over 1 million records. "With the Xeikon 5000, C2 Media will further enhance its competitive advantage by broadening its array of digitally printed products," adds Manning.

The legal profession seems to be in a state of change. Fewer undergraduates are applying to and entering law school. Law schools are in decline as well, and some are cutting faculty and considering condensing the curriculum to two years instead of three. At the same time, fewer civil cases go to trial, and fewer attorneys try cases.
John Cuttino '79, an attorney and shareholder with Gallivan White Boyd P.A. in Columbia, S.C., isn't sure where the profession is heading, but as the president of the DRI-The Voice of the Defense Bar, "the world's largest and premier organization of defense attorneys and in-house counsel," he spends considerable time thinking, writing and talking about it.
"A lot of things are going on with the practice of law and the profession in general, not just in my area of practice," says Cuttino. "It used to be you were hired by a firm, stayed with them, grinded it out and moved up the ranks, but the game has changed a lot. At DRI, we watch closely, and often advocate on changes affecting the profession and the delivery of legal services."
Cuttino took office with DRI, based in Chicago, Ill., in October 2016 and will serve for a year. It's not quite a full-time job, but it's close with frequent travel, meetings and speaking engagements across the country. He also writes articles and does interviews on the changes in the profession: from the ability of non-lawyers to render legal services and to have ownership of law firms, to the cost of a legal education and the associated student debt that comes with it.
"DRI started out as an educational organization in 1960. The law is always changing, and lawyers need to be updated on those changes. Education has been a large part of DRI's mission, but we offer a lot more than legal education," says Cuttino. DRI also is committed to improving and seeking balance in the justice system, assisting members in dealing with the economic realities of the defense law practice and encouraging ethical practice and social responsibility.
Cuttino tried and won his first case in Darlington County in 1983, not long after serving a judicial clerkship. After 34 years he still loves the practice of law and is quick to say that even with the uncertainty in the field, a legal education offers great training for a variety of professions. He also says that Wofford graduates are ideally suited for law school or a legal career.
"There is an almost unbelievable number of Wofford alumni who are very successful in this profession, and I'm extremely proud of that," says Cuttino. "That's not a coincidence. Law schools are attracted to people with a broad liberal arts background, with science degrees, math degrees or foreign language degrees. You don't have to major in government to be successful in the field."
As far as the future of the legal profession goes, Cuttino says the next chapter hasn't been written yet. "Still, I would go back to law school in a heartbeat," he says. "Anything that stretches your mind and broadens your thinking is a huge advantage in any career."

Just days before the Toronto premiere of Love Crime, Alain Corneau, the celebrated French director who won the best director Cesar for Tous Les Matins Du Monde in 1992, has died from cancer. He was 67. He started out as a jazz musician before a long career in cinema. He studied at L'IDHEC (La FEMIS), France's top film school.
From MUBI: Just last week, Jordan Mintzer reviewed Corneau's latest, Crime d'amour (Love Crime), for Variety, calling it a "taut, sinister psycho-procedural." Starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier and having just opened in theaters in France, the film is set to screen in a couple of weeks at the Toronto International Film Festival.
In 1992, Corneau's Tous les matins du monde (All the Mornings of the World) swept France's César Awards, winning best film, director, cinematography (Yves Angelo), supporting actress (Anne Brochet), music (Jordi Savall), costume design (Corinne Jorry) and sound. In 2004, Corneau was awarded the Prix René Clair.
"Mr Corneau's movies included science fiction, police thrillers, a look at office politics in Japan and a mood piece about ancient India," writes Douglas Martin in the New York Times.

Baldwin looking at possible primary challenge
Dane County Supervisor David de Felice announced Monday that he will form an exploratory committee for challenging U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, for the 2nd CD Democratic nomination in 2010.
"On this day in 2010, voters in the 2nd CD will elect a new representative to Congress," said de Felice -- who represents parts of Madison's east side and the Town of Blooming Grove -- in a statement. "I want them to have a choice. Someone with Democratic Party values in the tradition of Bill Proxmire, and someone who's independent in the spirit of 'Fighting Bob' La Follette."
Baldwin, who has represented the 2nd CD since 1998, already has two declared GOP challengers in businessman Chad Lee and teacher and 2008 opponent Peter Theron.

A Sky balloon festival
Trash talk
Hot Dogs
A Bow and a single arrow
Hot Dogs and Hatred
Malissa Greenwood
Eric balanced a plate of hot dogs and chips in one hand, a soda and magazine in the other as he weaved through the crowd of other hot air balloon aficionados. It was the first day of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta – the morning rides had gone smoothly and now they were meant to relax and participate in festivities until the evening challenges commenced. Eric was starting to feel confident about his balloon this year, though the doubts were always there.
Last year he was sure he'd win the Accuracy Competition but a rather unfortunate group of birds found their way into his envelope resulting in one panicked, poop covered human and a few dead birds. Eric had felt shaken and disappointed. Word spread quickly and by the end of the day he was the butt of many jokes, most of which originated from Rob Scheele. Eric hated that guy.
But this was a new year; a new chance to get back in the game and prove that he was a great ballooner.
Eric found an empty spot at one of the many crowded picnic tables and squeezed in, smiling and nodding at the other occupants. He had brought the magazine to avoid small talk, lest he introduce himself and be remembered as the poop covered bird killer.
As Eric finished his second hot dog a roar of laughter erupted behind him and he knew instinctively that he was about to be annoyed. He was opening the chip packet when someone knocked into him, sending the contents flying.
"Oh hey, sorry bud." A familiar voice. Eric turned to see Rob Scheele with an ape-like grin plastered to his face, surrounded by several other obnoxious looking men.
Eric attempted to simply nod and turn back around to no avail. "Eric Manning! Well, how are you bud?! Surprised to see you back this year."
"Surprised? Well. I'm back, same as you."
"Well hell, of course I'M back. I've got a record to keep after all!" The table laughed in agreement, a few men whooping their support. "But you… after that unfortunate event last year… we thought you'd be out of the game by now. Leave the sport to the real men, ya know?"
Eric listened to the callous laughter behind him and tried to remain calm. He had never mastered the art of talking trash. Usually he just listened to it and thought about all the things he'd rather do. While Rob sat there telling the bird story to anyone who would listen, Eric began picturing all the ways he could hurt the bastard. Set his balloon on fire. Hire someone to push him out of his own basket. I could shoot him. Not with a gun per say… I've got my archery equiptment in the car; all it would take is a single arrow. No one would know it was me. I'd say I –
His thoughts were cut short by a slap on the shoulder. "Oh don't fret there, bud. Things couldn't possibly get any worse for ya."
But all Eric could think was well they could certainly get worse for you "bud".
Festival Scare
Vance Rowe
The air was thick with cigarette smoke and the smell of stale beer permeated the air as the bartender announced last call. There were just a handful of people left in the bar and the bartender was lad it was time to close. The bar was very busy tonight as it was every year at this time. It was the weekend of the hot air balloon festival and it gets bigger every year.
Only a handful remained in the bar and a couple of them watched the goings on at a table where four men were seated. They were drunk, loud, and boisterous. Two of the men were trash talking each other while the other two men laughed and egged them on.
"Frank, after tomorrow, you will be going back to flying kites," one of the men said to the other.
"You talk a lot of crap for someone who can't get his balloon up even if the fire is fueled with Viagra, Victor." the other man retorted. The trash talk and raucous behavior continued for a half hour more until the bartender finally kicked them out.
The next morning, the old airport where the balloon festival is taking place began to come alive. Food and souvenir vendors began to set up, balloonists made final checks on their equipment, local radio and television news outlets set up at various places and hundreds of spectators began to arrive and mill about. The organizers of the event set up their tables with various trophies, medals and awards placed on them. There is even a hot dog eating contest about to take place as well. There is definitely a sensory overload today with all of the things to see, hear, smell, touch, and taste.
When it was time for the balloonists to get ready, Frank went to his balloon and found a bunch of kites inside of it. He growled with anger as Victor howled with delight. Frank then walked to his truck as Victor fired up his balloon and began to rise in the air, still laughing.
However, Victor stopped laughing as he watched Frank pull a bow and a single arrow from his truck.
Dragged Away on Unseen Strings of Universal Elasticity
Dani J Caile
A bow and its single arrow aimed directly at my soul scratches my sweating skin, leaving the scar that never healed, cutting through to my aching lust until my boiling blood turned to streams of thick, diseased desire: the pain reached the bubbling marrow within my crumbling bones, a gratification of the reason above any ever felt or will again.
"I am the best: you will never know better, I will defeat your pathetic, yearning narcissism and discard your empty, lifeless bag of flesh dripping through the splintered cracks of your spirit."
"Please, do not leave me like this, I beg you…"
Through the void of vitality, the upside-down vision of droplets on the shattered pane reflecting the waking dawn light, a prism of colours, a festival of hot air balloons dragged away on unseen strings of universal elasticity, induces the affliction of the night before, a thousand years ago, to flood and muddle my mind, sending me into fits of self-reflection and inanimateness.
"You are nothing but a worm! I will rip you apart, scoop out all remnants of essence and substance, leaving but a shattered shell of monstrosity!"
"Do it! Do it! Without this, what is there? What is there!"
Steps in the street, spaces squeezed between coats, faces hidden by hoods and 'brellas. The pinball machine: it issues forth and fades as the headless crowds wither and die, leaving me beaten, soaked, alone, standing in a barren city of shadows playing dodgems with hearts, spinning in the delight of paper and lights, making the meaningless worthwhile, ignoring the truth seeping from their veins, slipping past shallow attention and repressed awareness. Cheap hot dogs without buns.
"When… when…?"
The wind cuts through, I sense its edge but not its force: to feel is a luxury no longer pertaining to the carcase which is my form, disfigured and maimed by my foolish naivety, my broken impeccability. Blank. Squeezed, crushed, hope shone, only to be trodden in the last moments of opportunity, tiny fragments burning, incinerating under the pressure of power, the affliction of humanity, a monster rampant. Any purpose has been lost, gone with the last tick of time, the next, the now.
"Never, never again! How dare you, how dare you! Pig! Nothing but a pig! I am a god, you are nothing!"
"Once… once more…"
Clouds turn grey, a soothing blanket washing through the foul stain of intelligentsia, conquering the obnoxious academia of meaningless knowledge and bigotry of the supreme.
"Come! Follow me to your doom! Follow! Now!"
"Yes! Yes, I will follow! Only lead, please! Please lead!"
Darkness. Silence. From the nothing of the murky depths comes the incomparable. Optimism is born a myth, confidence its dumb cousin. The box is opened. Faith has flown with the chariots of Charlatopia and rested amongst the flocks of the blessed. To love? To live? Again, again, the stone it rolls, tearing, cutting, persistantly pushing against the slate of conscience and duty.
Punished for trying… for caring? Punished.
Bodkin Brothers
Tina Biscuit
Ian's bow was slung tightly across his back. Douglas crawled behind him; he had the quiver. Ian raised a hand; they both stopped. They nestled into the heather; Douglas winced as it scratched his arms. They dropped flat, slowly raising their heads to look down the cliff. The balloons were already rising close to the boys. A crimson sphere of silk appeared below them; in a few seconds, the people in the basket would see them. They pressed themselves down deeper. The balloon rose, but the people were looking down at the hot-air-balloon festival: watching the other balloons; looking to see if they could see their friends.
'I love hot dogs', Douglas exclaimed.
'What are you talking about, Douglas?'
'There's a hot dog stand.'
'You can't make out a hot-dog from here, idiot.'
'I can see that one.' He pointed down at a hut, with a huge fibreglass hot-dog on the roof.
'Can we get one, Douglas? Please.'
'We can't walk in there with our weapons.'
'You always treat me like an idiot, Ian. I meant just one of us go.'
'You are an idiot, Ian. I don't know why mum always makes me take you with me. Oh, yeah; it's because you're my wee brother, and I'm responsible for you.'
'You're hardly responsible. Firing arrows at hot-air-balloons. Very responsible.'
'Shut it, small fry. And I'm not going to do it, Douglas. I just want to point one at Mr Sutherland to give him a fright.'
They watched the balloons rising; they knew that Mr Sutherland had a bright yellow one. Ian's stomach started to rumble.
'You're hungry, too, Ian. Now you have to go.'
'I don't have to go, but I will.'
'Thanks, Ian.'
Ian slipped the curved piece of Yew from his back, and passed it to Douglas, before snatching it back out of his grasp.
'Don't use it', he said.
'You're always slagging me that I'm too much of a weakling to fire a bow. Please, Ian. I know dad gave you some money.'
'Alright', conceded Ian, 'I'll be twenty minutes; keep an eye out for Mr Sutherland; I'm still going to do it.'
Douglas waited until Ian dipped below the rise. He could smell the cedar of the arrows' shafts as the breeze came over him. He reached behind him, teased his fingers through the fletching, before unsheathing a single arrow. The Bodkin point glinted as he revolved it in his fingers. A huge, yellow sun appeared in front of him.
Douglas grasped the bow. The yellow balloon rose as he nocked the arrow in the string, and started to pull. The bow yielded as he strained to pull it taut. He breathed slowly, just like Ian. Mr Sutherland was so close, he could see Douglas. His face contorted. The muscles in Douglas's arm started to twitch under the strain. The string slipped slowly from his youthful grip. The bow buckled as the string was released. The point travelled straight, while the shaft twisted and contorted into its paradoxical flight.
A cry rang out, echoing around the cliffs. Two hands rose; two hot-dogs fell into the heather.

Bankruptcy Woes of the Over 45s
A recent study suggests that it is not only the excessive spending of the young and reckless that can lead to bankruptcy. Startling figures show that it is in fact the supposedly sound heads of the over-45s that are actually experiencing the greatest increase in the number of bankruptcies.
Between 2004 and 2008, the UK has seen a dramatic upswing in the number of individuals over 45 that are filing for bankruptcy. In this period, the number of people initiating bankruptcy procedures has risen from 10,600 to 23,800. That's an increase of 124% in four years. The total number of bankruptcies in those four years has seen an increase of 89%, which is still a staggering jump but nowhere near the figure recorded by the over 45's.
The reasons for this increase are varied but the main contributing factors would appear to be the effect of multiple marriages, such as increased divorce and remarriage rates, combined with the recent trend in plummeting house prices. These factors, although not solely the reserve of the over 45's, have had a disproportionate effect on the financial security of those widely considered to be more 'settled'. These figures, derived from research carried out by the Insolvency Service, have highlighted a substantial increase in the number of second and, in some cases, even third marriages. If we look back to 1980 we can see that one in ten of those people who were going through divorce proceedings had been part of a previous marriage that had also ended in divorce. Fast forward to 2007 and that figure had doubled, to one in five.
So, there may well be additional numbers of children and ex-wives or ex-husbands that also need their financial support. People might well find themselves in a situation where they are contributing to the mortgage repayments for their ex-partner's home, paying for child care and covering maintenance costs of their first marriage at the same time as supporting their new family, be that by paying a second set of school fees, a second mortgage or any other duplicate outgoings.
Exacerbating this added expense is the recent drop in house prices. Many of those who would have previously exploited the equity in their homes in times of finance difficulty are now finding that they simply don't have the stake necessary to remortgage.
There are other finance streams open to those people who find themselves in this difficult situation. If you find yourself in this predicament, talk to a dedicated debt advisor as soon as problems manifest. You'll find that your creditors could be willing to come to an understanding with repayment schedules and alternatives if you are open with them. There are alternatives to bankruptcy, like an Individual Voluntary Agreement, or IVA, so get advice about the best course of act ion for you.

Charlotte and Peter, Fogarty Winery, 2010; Photo by Catherine Hall
Hi Jean,
You are absolutely amazing. I am so in awe of your talent at making everything (and I do mean everything) come together for the wedding. I really don't know how to put in words how grateful we are to have had you around, and I don't know what we would have done without you.
It wasn't even just the big picture stuff, but also every single small detail. You made it all happen without a hitch. And thanks also to your fabulous assistants for the help with Polaroids, the beautiful guestbook and escort card display (my goodness, I was so impressed and surprised!)
Best, Char
I really appreciated that you made sure Jared and I were taking time to slow down at moments and really absorb everything that was happening and about to happen; this was golden! If you hadn't been there to pull us away at these moments, I could see how the moments would have easily slipped by.
Your calm and your confidence really made me relax and keep things in perspective. And your emergency kit was also great, thank goodness for those band aids!
With hugs, Brenna and Jared
Dear Jean,
Thank you again for all your help this past Saturday!! What an event! We are still coming out of a "wedding daze" but are so grateful for your assistance. It would not have been such a stress-free event without your work; and the set up at the cottage upon our return was delightful!
We shall provide the most positive yelp review! :-) I do appreciate your picking up the left wine glass favors at the end of the night; it was mentioned to us by one regretful guest on Sunday that she had left hers behind, so we will be glad to have the extras!
I hope that you've had time to recover from all of your work this past weekend. Thank you again.
The very grateful and appreciative Prices
Megan & Will
And this year, I have even received thank you notes from some couples whom I was NOT able to work with because I am already booked for their wedding date in 2011! The one below, from a May 7th client, particularly made me smile:
Dear Jean,
Thank you so much for calling this morning to check in with us. I really appreciate it! We really loved getting to know you; you have a rare gift for connecting with people and making us feel like you want the very best for us. If you can recommend any vendors with whom we would be in good hands, especially ones who connect with and care about their clients as much as you do, we would be so grateful
Thanks again so much for your advice and help; we want to reiterate once again how sad we are that we can't be planning this process with you. You are a wonderful person, and I am sure you will continue to make other brides' dreams come true for as long you remain in this profession!
All the best, bride and groom for May 7, 2011.
What is most important to me about my wedding planning work is the strong bond and friendships I am able to make with my clients, and now even some I am not able to have as clients!
I can't wait to get to know and love my 2011 clients in the months ahead!

Improvements could be coming to the state ports in Wilmington and Morehead City. Governor Pat McCrory recently announced a 25 year vision for infrastructure investment that would deepen the Beaufort Inlet and develop underutilized properties, in an effort to make the state more globally competitive. However, no money has been allocated for these projects. Volunteers Plant Marsh Grass At The Rachel Carson Reserve By Jared Brumbaugh • Jun 10, 2014 North Carolina Coastal Reserve On June 12th, volunteers and staff with the NC Coastal Reserve helped plant 4,500 marsh grass plugs which will help provide habitat and stabilization to the shoreline of Carrot Island. Study Finds Oyster Reefs Keep Pace With Rising Sea Levels By Jared Brumbaugh • Jun 2, 2014 E. Woodward/UNC Institute of Marine Sciences Research by a team of coastal scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Institute of Marine Science is gaining national recognition. The study looked at the rate at which oyster reefs grow and if they'll be able to keep pace with rising sea levels. After 10 years of study in coastal North Carolina, the results show that oyster reefs grow much faster than previously expected and can also be an effective way of slowing erosion. Public Radio East's Jared Brumbaugh spoke with Dr. The Down East Journal (05/09/14) By Jared Brumbaugh • May 7, 2014 This week, local researchers embarked on a 10-day mission off the coast of North Carolina to map the ocean floor.

Two Cannons Recovered from Queen Anne's Revenge By Jared Brumbaugh • Jun 28, 2013 Uprooted Photographer We travel to the wreck site of the pirate Blackbeard's flagship "The Queen Anne's Revenge." It's an audio postcard from Beaufort Inlet as we witness five thousand pounds of weaponry being raised from its watery grave. Plus, we speak with experts about the recovery project, which is 16 years in the making. Listen Listening... / 10:34 The treacherous waters along coast of North Carolina are known around the world as the graveyard of the Atlantic. Thousands of ships have run around on the shifting shoals, from sixteenth century exploration vessels to German U-boats that sank during World War II. One of the most famous wrecks is that of the infamous pirate Blackbeard. His flagship the "Queen Anne's Revenge" sank in 1718 near Beaufort inlet. Since its discovery in 1996, artifacts from the site have been recovered and preserved. Last Thursday, divers with the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Underwater Archeology Division brought up a pair of 300 year old cannons from the site, about a mile off Fort Macon. It is a clear, sunny day by the docks at The Boathouse at Front Street Village in Beaufort as the crew of the "Crystal Coast Lady" prepare for our trip to the wreck site. We won't be involved in the recovery, but we'd be watching from a safe distance. An attempt to raise the cannons was made June 12th, but was called off because of low water visibility and unfavorable weather conditions. But today's forecast looks promising. After a briefing on the history of Blackbeard, approximately 80 people, including Department of Cultural Resources staff, Queen Anne's Revenge experts, members of the Friends of Queen Anne's Revenge and guests start boarding the waiting vessel. We make our way down Taylor's Creek along the Beaufort waterfront, past Radio Island, before making a left and heading through Beaufort inlet. Along the way, retired underwater archeologist and our guide for today's trip Mark Wilde Ramsing points out a dredging platform just a couple hundred yards off the port side. "here they are dredging as hard as they can, continuing to dredge and keep this channel open, back in the old days they didn't have any of that marked channels, no buoys, no nothing. We are heading straight out the inlet, we'll go straight out a ways, ahead of us is the Dan Moore. You'll see it about 1 o clock, 2 o clock on the vessel's starboard side here." The Dan Moore is assisting in the cannon recovery. The 85 foot ocean going research vessel belongs to Cape Fear Community College. It's almost 50 years old and has made over 400 research trips. "Alright everyone, we are getting close to the site. You can see the recovery vessel, the Dan Moore, it's the trawler. This is its last voyage before it's going to be mothballed. And this will actually be the biggest most ambitious lift trying to raise three cannons." Since the site of the Queen Anne's Revenge is only about a mile off the coast, the shoreline can be easily seen. As we move into position, parallel to the vessel Dan Moore, the American flag flying above Fort Macon is just barely visible off our bow. Directly above the wreck site, another smaller, barge like vessel named "Jones Bay" is anchored. "The James Bay, they got up at 4 in the morning and came out at the first sign of light and started excavating. The problem with the way the weather's been, every time they get it ready to go, another good storm from the southwest comes along and covers up what they've done. So they had to excavate these cannons. They're already strapped up, they're strapped up with big canvas straps or ropes. And you'll see that." " Jones Bay, this is Crystal Coast Lady. Over." "This is Jones Bay, go ahead." "How's it going over there?" "They're about to lift the cannons, they're inflating the bags now." To bring the cannon to the surface, divers attach a "lift bag" to the canvas strap secured around the cannon. The water is only about 25 feet deep at the wreck site so it doesn't take long for the cannon to float to the surface. "momentarily, you should see a yellow lift bag come up. It'll be much bigger than the little buoys you see there come up right behind the vessel Jones Bay, the smaller vessel." About five minutes pass, and then, the yellow lift bag breaks the surface of the water. "Alright, there it is… so we passed the first stage, now the second is to get the bag and the divers over to the cannon over to the Dan Moore." "Dan Moore, go ahead and haul in the cannon, haul in the lift bags, over, haul it in." On the deck of the Dan Moore, a team of students with Cape Fear Community College's Marine Technology program begin tugging at a red rope connected to the cannon and the divers about 150 feet away. Onlookers watch nervously as the divers are tossed around by the wind and waves. Then, the red rope gets tangled around the Dan Moore's mooring line. "So, what it looks like to me is…" "RADIO: Dan Moore, it looks like they're wrapped around that mooring. Over." "I don't know if you heard that, but the Dan Moore can pull them in but we are doing it so the tides should pretty much…." "RADIO: We'll stand by and hopefully they can free it." "what's happened now is that the cannon is hooked around one of the mooring lines so as the Dan Moore is trying to pull it, it's not pulling. So now the divers have gone back down to try to release that. This is step two of the three critical steps." Another tense five minutes pass and finally the red rope is free from the mooring line. The lift bag, cannon and divers continue to be hauled in until they are finally float beside the Dan Moore. This is where the third phase of the lifting process begins. The expert divers with the Department of Cultural Resource's Underwater Archeology division work quickly to connect the vessel's crane hook to the canvas strap around the cannon. Then, the signal is given to lift the bag from the water. "Alright, now they're hooked to the cannon and the bladder bags have been moved off a bit. And we should see Blackbeard's big six pounder cannon come up. They weigh about 2,500 pounds, over a ton of metal and concretion." We watch and wait several more minutes as the crane reels it in. And for the first time in almost 300 years, the cannon breaks the surface of the water. "There it is… I love to see it come out of the water, but I don't cheer until it gets down on the deck." Even though the three century old artifact is covered in concretion, it's very easy to tell that it's a cannon. As it's slowly lifted out of the water, the crew aboard the Dan Moore lean over the side of the boat to stabilize the cannon and keep it from swinging. Other crew members set up a cinder block and two by four platform for the cannon to rest on. Then the cannon is gently lowered as onlookers watch intently. The Department of Cultural Resources Underwater Archeology Division had a goal of lifting three cannons during last Thursday's offshore excursion. However, they were only able to lift two. As the divers and underwater archeology celebrate their successful lift, Queen Anne's Revenge Conservation Lab Director and Chief Conservator Sarah Watkins-Kenney's work is just beginning. She says the cannons will be taken to the Queen Anne's Revenge Lab at East Carolina University in Greenville, where they will remove the concretion and prepare them for exhibition. "These objects have been in the ocean for 300 years, we want to do as little as possible to disturb that environment they've been in. If they dry out before we treat them, then that can get physical and chemical changes that could damage the object. So we want to prevent that from happening. So we keep everything wet, get it into tanks, then it's safe, and then we can take a deep breath and figure out what we do next with it which will be eventually cleaning, getting all the salts out, drying them, surface finishing them, and then finally going to the museum for display." So far, about 280-thousand items, including the ship's bell, straight pins, gold flakes, lead shot, bottles, and guns have been recovered from the wreck. One of the three thousand pound anchors – more than 11 feet long and 7 feet across – was brought up in 2011. It's currently soaking in a huge vat at the Queen Anne's Revenge Lab where it will stay for a few more years. The conservation of artifacts from the wreck site has been ongoing for 16 years. In order to keep the program going, Chief Deputy Secretary with the Department of Cultural Resources Karen Cochran says they've had to shift funding sources. "years ago, when this was first discovered, the state was heavily involved in funding but over time, as you can imagine, funding to support something like this endeavor is going to need some private support. This is a partnership like we have in a lot of our areas within the Dept. of Cultural Resources that we have a partnership with private supporters and public funding to make something like this happen. The Friends of the Queen Anne's Revenge is a private, not-for-profit group that supports the work of the state of North Carolina on the recovery of the wreck of Blackbeard's flagship. Richard Lawrence is President of the Friends of Queen Anne's Revenge and the former Deputy State Underwater Archeologist for the Department of Cultural Resources. He says the site and the artifacts are a part of North Carolina history and need to be preserved. "if you were to ask a person to identify or name a pirate, the average person on the street probably the first name to come to mind would be Blackbeard. And the fact that we have Blackbeard's flagship just a mile off the North Carolina coast, it's just an incredible opportunity for us." To learn more about Blackbeard and his ties to North Carolina, you can visit the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. On display is a model of the underwater wreck site and the ship's bell. A New Program Puts Coastal Scientist In the Classrooms of Local Schools By Jared Brumbaugh • Jun 14, 2013 This week, we talk about a new partnership between the Institute of Marine Sciences and local schools where coastal scientists become teachers for a day. Last week, a group of third grade students in Beaufort were learning about coastal habitats, food web dynamics and the different kinds of marine life found along the North Carolina coast. But the lesson wasn't being taught by teachers. Instead, graduate students from the Institute of Marine Sciences in Morehead City offered a unique, hands-on lesson about our coastal ecology.

text: I've had my first smartphone, a Droid 1 for two years now and my contract is finally up in 2 days. For months I have lusted after the Galaxy SIII and it is now within my grasp! The question I have is: which carrier should I go with, and for what reasons? I currently am a Verizon customer but am willing to look elsewhere; I liked the look of the Sprint unlimited data but have been reading a bit about how their network isn't very good and may be slow to roll out 4G LTE everywhere. I'm in the Lehigh Valley (Allentown) area of Pennsylvania - if that matters. I'm shopping on Wirefly/Cellular Choices because I used them for years to get other phones but are there any other, better deals for the S3 out there? I am thinking of calling Verizon anyway, just to see if I can squeeze a good deal out of Customer Retention. All help and advice is appreciated!

That's a Dark Vessel Breastplate, Tablet Bearer's Pauldrons, and Legguards of Caution, all from a few quests in the Hinterlands, Swamp Vest Gauntlets from a quest in Dustwallow Marsh, and my old Frostscale Belt and Boots. I left the Vicious Embersilk Cape as is, and have a Stylish Blue Shirt underneath. It took me awhile to find a decent helm, and I finally settled for Flesh Handler's Headpiece, from a quest in Netherstorm. Quite by coincidence (or subconscious association) it's the same helm Dagla Hammerbeak has.
Overall, it has a strongly Stormwind look to it with all the blue. It also animates very well. The shoulders are precisely the type I like best in the game, as I prefer armor I might actually wear in combat. If there were a blue version of something like Homestead Helm, I would have gone for that, but then I would look to plain. I prefer plain looks, and if not clunky, at least not overly stylistic. In this case, the only obviously Shamanistic piece is the helm, and even then it's subdued enough to blend with the rest.
Unleash Elements is one of the coolest looking casts in the game!
I dropped my Resto spec for a Elemental PvP spec and hit up some randoms and a couple of TB's. One of the benefits of having all professions runnning is being able to gear up an alt with just a few canceled auctions. I've picked up 3 Ruthless so far, and I'll definitely be replacing every crafted piece before I hit Rated BG's or Arena. The grind isn't so bad, and it's all part of learning a new way to play.
My first impression is that the rotation feels nice (Fire Totem>UE/Flame Shock>Lava Burst>7-9 stack Earth Shock>Lightning Bolt). In my head it sounds like "Totems down, dot up, Burst, bolt, bolt, bolt, Burst, bolt, Proc, bolt, Burst... etc. Between Lava Surge and Rolling Thunder, it's going to take me some time to get used to the random nature of the rotation.
I love to hit melee with Frost Shock/Unleash Frost. I also really like knocking back DK's who grip me, Warriors who Leap on me, etc.
I especially like this:
I really need to clean up my UI. It's starting to look like the pile of laundry that takes up half my bed.

The Neue Pinakothek has the biggest art of the nineteenth century collection in the world. According to the website, "The Neue Pinakothek exhibits approximately 400 works of art chosen from its collection of more than 4,000 paintings and 300 sculptures."
I had only one hour and half and had to make difficult choices on what I should see. I much preferred spending my limited time in a few rooms than zooming through the whole collection without taking the time to appreciate any of the paintings.
The museum was very quiet at that late time of the day, so I could enjoy many paintings on my own and come close to them to analyze the painting technique and brush work without bothering any visitor.
They have a magnificent view of Oostende by Turner and a few paintings by Constable (including "View of Dedham Vale from East Bergholf", c. 1815).
The museum also counts two rooms of French impressionist and post-impressionists paintings by Edouard Manet, Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Alfred Sisley, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Paul Signac, Paul Gauguin and Paul Sérusier in room 19 and room 20.

Nasdaq's Select' Plan, Facing Complaints, Goes Back to the Drawing Board
Story Utilities
Nasdaq is reworking its proposal to publicly rank market makers based on the quality of their quoting and trading.
The plan, dubbed the "Select Market Maker Program," ran into opposition from dealers when it was proposed in July. It was slated to launch this quarter.
Chris Concannon, Nasdaq's executive vice president for transaction services, acknowledged recently that the proposal is "controversial" and that Nasdaq is "making some slight modifications based on [dealer] feedback."
The data, Concannon told attendees at the annual Security Traders Association confab, is intended for issuers.
"It is not a best-execution selection program," he said. "It is simply an issuer program."
Nasdaq's original plan was to pass judgment on the quality of dealers' markets and the amount of trading they did, and to make that information available to issuers and order senders.
Some market makers felt Nasdaq was overstepping its bounds and opposed its making that kind of information available to order senders (See Traders Magazine, September 2006).
Concannon said the information would be accessed by issuers' chief executives, chief financial officers and investor relations officials through a Nasdaq website.
"We have 3,300 companies," Concannon said. "They want to know what is going on in their stock and who is trading it. The Select Market Maker Program is an attempt to identify the market makers that are true liquidity providers in the stock for our issuers to talk to. The program will be marketed directly to the issuer."

After Henry's first experience with spaghetti, I thought we would try another noodle dish. This recipe comes through a family friend whose daughter-in-law is from Thailand. Daddy and I love going out for Thai food, but this dish is simple enough to make at home.
|This recipe is Henry-approved.
At first, Henry was a bit skeptical of the rice noodles. He was much more interested in the meat and veggies. By the end of our meal, however, he was having a lot of fun eating and playing with the noodles.
|Henry tries to understand why the noodles stick to his hands.
You probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry. If you have not used rice noodles or fish sauce before, you can find them in the Asian section of most supermarkets. As always, feel free to swap the vegetable assortment with whatever you may have on hand. Cabbage, cauliflower, and onion are delicious possibilities.
1 handful rice noodles
1 Tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil
1 pound turkey or chicken breast
1 red bell pepper
6 crimini or white button mushrooms
1 medium zucchini
1 Tablespoon fish sauce*
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce*
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup vegetable or chicken broth*
Black pepper to taste
|Pad Mee cooking in the pan.
Soak the noodles in a bowl of warm water for about 1 hour. Rinse and drain the noodles.
While the noodles are soaking, slice the meat into thin strips. Using a separate cutting board, cut the vegetables into slices.
Combine fish sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and broth in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Heat oil on high in a large pan. When oil is hot, add the meat. Stir frequently until it begins to brown. Add the vegetables to the stir fry pan.
When vegetables begin to soften, add the sauce to the pan. Then add the noodles to the stir fry pan for the final one to two minutes of cooking.
Add a few twists of fresh ground black pepper to taste and serve.
*Soy sauce, fish sauce and chicken broth can be high in salt, so we choose the low-sodium versions when available.
|Henry slurps up a rice noodle.
How your kids can help
- 1-year old: Listening to you name each of the ingredients as you use them in the recipe. This is a great way for little ones to learn new words.
- 2-year old: Stirring the sauce mixture.
- 3-year old: Using the pepper grinder.
- 4-year old: Soaking and rinsing the rice noodles.
- 5-year old: Measuring the ingredients for the sauce mixture.

To the Portland City Council:
Dear Councilors,
I'm writing to urge that you not accept the offer from Governor Paul LePage of Judy Taylor's labor mural from the Department of Labor in Augusta.
This mural is not being moved because there is a leak in the roof or because it is exposed to too much sunlight. The mural is not a sick patient that needs a better hospital. The governor wants it moved because it defines the job of the Department of Labor as protecting the interests of working people. It reminds the department's employees everyday of Maine's labor history, the struggles with child labor, dangerous working conditions and poor pay. It reminds everyone who comes into that building of the legacy of that struggle and the responsibility of the department to protect workers from exploitation. It reminds us all of the power of organizing.
The governor wants to separate the symbol of labor from its meaning. It's, quite simply, a power play. The mural would tell a true story wherever it is, but it has a very special significance where it is now --- and that's what the governor wants changed. He wants the department neutered. He wants the Department of Labor to be the Chamber of Commerce. He says he wants the department not to take sides in relation to labor and business. Can you imagine a mural needing to be painted to tell the story of business being exploited by labor?
I urge you not to be so used by the governor. I urge you to reject the mural and advise the governor to leave it where it belongs.
Please bear in mind the words of Frederick Douglass:
"Find out what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong that will be imposed on them."
