Bastardi: Three of Next Five Winters Could Be as Cold or Colder
By Heather Buchman, Meteorologist
February 05, 2011, 5:34:08 AM EST
This winter is on track to become the coldest for the nation as a whole since the 1980s or possibly even the late 1970s. According to AccuWeather.com Chief Long Range Forecaster Joe Bastardi, three or four out of the next five winters could be just as cold, if not colder.
He is worried that next winter, for example, will be colder than this one.
Bastardi adds that with the U.S. in the middle of one of its worst recessions in its history and the price of oil in question, he is extremely concerned about the prospect for more persistent cold weather in the coming years putting increased financial hardship on Americans.
"Cold is a lot worse than warm," Bastardi said, "and that's why your energy bill goes up during the winter time: because of the fact that it takes a lot to heat a house."
While there are many different factors that are playing into Bastardi's forecast, one of the primary drivers is La Niña and the trends that have been observed in winters that follow the onset of a La Niña.
Current La Nina Signals More Cold Winters Ahead La Niña occurs when sea surface temperatures across the equatorial central and eastern Pacific are below normal. La Niña and its counterpart, El Niño, which occurs when sea surface temperatures of the same region are above normal, have a large influence on the weather patterns that set up across the globe.
The current La Niña, which kicked in this past summer, is unprecedented after becoming the strongest on record in December 2010. Bastardi thinks this La Niña will last into next year, though it will be weaker, and will not disappear completely until 2012.
According to Bastardi, studies over the past 100 years or so show that after the first winter following the onset of a La Niña, the next several winters thereafter tend to be colder than normal in the U.S.
He says the first winter during a La Niña tends to be warm. The next winter that follows is usually less warm, and the winter after that is usually cold.
"There's a natural tendency for that to happen because of the large-scale factors," Bastardi commented. "What's interesting about what we're seeing here is that [the current La Niña] is starting so cold."
Temperatures this winter so far are averaging below normal across much of the eastern two-thirds of the country.
He adds, "If the past predicts the future, then the first year La Niña is warmer than the combination of the following two."
He said that with the exception of the winters of 1916-1917 and 1917-1918, the first year of every moderate or stronger La Niña available for study has featured a warmer-than-normal winter from the Plains eastward. This winter, it has been colder than normal.
Taking a look at one of the exceptions, the La Niña winter of 1916-1917, colder-than-normal conditions were observed across the northern part of the Plains and East (not the South). Bastardi said that never before have colder-than-normal conditions been observed across the South during a first-year La Niña winter, as has been the case this winter.
If this winter, which has been colder than normal across the eastern two-thirds of the country, is historically supposed to be the warmest of the next three winters for the U.S., according to Bastardi, we have some frigid times ahead.
Bastardi: Shift to Colder Climate Predicted Next 20-30 Years
Bastardi thinks that not only will the next few winters be colder than normal for much of the U.S., but that the long-term climate will turn colder over the next 20 to 30 years.
"What's interesting about what we're seeing here is that [the current La Niña] is starting so cold," said Bastardi, "and it's coinciding with bigger things that are pushing the overall weather patterns and climate in the Northern Hemisphere and, in fact, globally over the next 20 to 30 years that we have not really dealt with, nor can we really quantify."
"That ties into a lot of this arguing over climate change," he added.
Bastardi has pointed out that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), which is a pattern of Pacific climate variability that shifts phases usually about every 20 to 30 years, has shifted into a "cold" or "negative" phase.
Over the past 30 years or so, according to Bastardi, the PDO has been "warm" or "positive."
This change to a cold PDO over the next 20 to 30 years, he says, will cause La Niñas to be stronger and longer than El Niños. Bastardi adds that when El Niños do kick in, if they try to come on strong like they did last year, they will get "beaten back" pretty quickly.
"When you have a cold PDO and lots of La Niñas, when El Niños do come on, you generally tend to have cold, snowy weather patterns across the U.S.," Bastardi said. "That's what we saw in the 1960s and 1970s."
In Summary Overall, Bastardi is predicting three or four of the next five winters to be colder than normal for much of the U.S., based on trends observed in La Niñas throughout history.
He is concerned that, amid the current recession, more colder-than-normal conditions in the winters ahead will put extra financial strain on families in the form of higher heating bills.
Bastardi is also predicting the long-term climate to turn colder over the next 20 to 30 years with global temperatures, as measured by satellite, returning to levels they were at in the late 1970s.

Ever since his death in 1955, scientists have asked what featurs of Albert Einstein's brain contributed to his extraordinary insights into physical laws. Research on the anatomy of Einstein's genius, which dates back decades, faltered because many of the postmortem images and slides of tissue were scattered and became unavailable to researchers.
A study published online last November in Brain, based on the most comprehensive collection of postmortem images compiled to date, shows that Einstein's cerebral cortex, responsible for higher-level mental processes, differs much more dramatically than previously thought from that of a person of average intelligence. An edited interview follows with anthropologist Dean Falk of Florida State University, the lead researcher on this project.
What did you find in the study?
Einstein had extraordinary prefrontal cortices, right behind the forehead, which revealed an intricate pattern of convolutions. We know from comparative studies in primates that this part of the brain became highly specialized during hominin evolution. We also know that in humans, this area functions in higher cognition that entails working memory, making plans, bringing plans to fruition, worrying, thinking about the future and imagining scenarios. It is an extraordinarily evolved part of the brain that is related to connections between neurons underneath the surface of the brain. We're hypothesizing that what we're seeing in Einstein's brain is a lot of complexity in these connections.
Anything else unusual?
One of the most interesting things about Einstein's brain has to do with his sensory and motor cortices. We found an unusual region lower down in the motor cortex that processes information from the face and tongue and laryngeal apparatus. The motor face area in Einstein's left hemisphere was extraordinarily expanded into a big rectangular patch that I've not seen in any other brain. I am not sure how to interpret this. In a famous quotation, Einstein wrote that his thinking entailed an association of images and "feelings"—that for him, the elements of thought were not only visual but also "muscular." What does that mean? I don't know, but in light of what we found in the motor cortex, it's a very interesting quotation.
Do you think this has anything to do with that famous photograph of Einstein sticking his tongue out?
I've been asked that four times in the past three days. The first time the question caught me by surprise, and I said I thought it was just a coincidence. Then I got to thinking about it and went to a mirror to see whether I could get my tongue out as far as Einstein had, and I came pretty close. So I think that wonderful photograph was probably Einstein just being spontaneous and impetuous.

Usually a mini-car has 2 doors and enough space for 4 passengers, and there is a place for 1 suitcase in the trunk. The full fuel tank is enough to drive up to 900 km.
The mini-cars seem very alike to the cars of Compact and Economy group. Moreover the same car (e. g. Hyundai i10) may be assigned to Mini as well as Economy group by different companies. By the way, weird as it may seem but the "Mini" car brand do not belong to the Mini-car group, regardless its name. Usually they are referred to Economy or Compact group.

Preparing the Filling: Cook the whole, unpeeled potatoes in a pot of unsalted water to cover at a steady boil for 20 minutes or longer until just cooked through. Don't let them crack or get mushy on the outside. Let them cool briefly, then peel and slice them into rounds, 1/4-inch thick.
Heat the oil and the bacon pieces in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 or 4 minutes until the bacon is sizzling and has rendered much of its fat. Stir in the leeks and cook another 3 minutes or so until they're wilted and sizzling. Spread the potato slices in the pan, season with salt and pepper and toss with the bacon and leeks.
Cook for 8 minutes or more over medium-high heat, breaking up the potatoes into chunks. Spread and press the filling flat in the pan and let caramelize for a couple of minutes. Turn the pieces, press and fry, then repeat. When the filling is thoroughly cooked and has started to color, scrape it into a mixing bowl. Cool briefly then crush the potatoes some more with a fork (I like to have little chunks left); add 1/2 cup Parmesan and salt and pepper, to taste.
Filling the Ravioli:
Roll out fresh pasta dough. For each ravioli, scoop up a heaping tablespoon of potato filling, shape it round and set in place. Cover and cut ravioli.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. If you are using dry pasta, start cooking the pasta 5 minutes before you start the sauce; if you are using fresh, start the sauce and then put on the pasta to cook at the same time
When the pasta is done al dente, scoop it up and drop into the shrimp pan. Toss briefly, sprinkle on the parsley, and toss again. Remove from the heat and drop 2 tablespoons butter on top of the pasta and toss in. Serve right away sprinkled with Parmesan.
Hot water from the pasta cooking pot
Pour the olive oil into the big skillet, scatter the garlic slices in and set over medium-high heat. Cook for 1 minute, until the garlic is sizzling. Scatter the slices of pepperoncini in a hot spot; cook for 1 minute; shake the pan now and then. Push the garlic and peppers to the side, turn the heat to high. Drop the shrimp in the center of the skillet and spread them so they're not crowded. Sprinkle on the salt and let them sizzle for 1/2 minute. Flip the shrimp over, giving the skillet a good toss or stirring and turning them; and cook another 1/2 minute or so, until the flesh is just turning opaque. Scatter the scallions into the skillet; toss and stir in with the shrimp, for 20 to 30 seconds, just until they are sizzling. Stir in butter 2 tablespoons of butter and cook until it is melted and starts to simmer, 10 to 20 seconds. Ladle in 2 cups of boiling pasta water. Stir up everything in the skillet and let the sauce boil for only a moment. If the pasta is ready to add turn down the heat to very low. If the pasta is not ready, remove the skillet from the heat immediately; set it back over low heat when you do add the pasta.
Consumption of raw or undercooked eggs, shellfish and meat may increase the risk of foodborne illness.

To ensure you buy a pair of shoes that are the perfect fit, please take a moment to measure yourself and use the corresponding size charts to select the correct size.
Be sure to measure both feet and fit shoes to the largest foot. If you are taking your own measurements a more accurate measurement is ensured by standing drawing around your foot. It is important not to assume that your foot is the same size as it has always been as the shape of your feet can change over time. Also remember to wear the socks you plan on using with your new shoes when you measure.
Whilst standing, place your foot on a piece of paper in front of you. With a pencil, trace around your foot. Hold the pencil as straight up as possible while measuring and ensure the pencil remains in contact with your foot during this process.
With a ruler measure the distance between the tip of your big toe and the centre of your heel on the drawing. The result is your foot length and the number you will use to determine your shoe size.

text: Ok so here is a little background. Doodles is a 1 1/2year old blk and tan spayed female. We got her at 12weeks. Almost immediatly after we got Doodles I noticed she couldnt squat in one place to poop. I work at a vets office at the time so we shot x rays and found out that our 12 week old puppy had horrible hips. The vet took Doodles off puppy food to stop her from growing to fast and put her on Cosequin. We were told her hips would either get better and be fine once she was full grown or she would need surgery. That was Oct 2005. Then this last Christmas 2006 we took Doodles with us to Christmas in Pheonix. Well the night we left was the night after the big blizzards started to hit Colorado. Doodles was out playing in the snow as usual. When we got in the car to drive to Arizona I noticed Doodles was limping. I got her doggy aspirin and just thought it was a sprain or something from trudging through the snow which was 4ft high. We were in Arizona nine days, every day I gave Doodles her aspirin and Cosequin and tried to keep her quiet among 50 people and 3 dogs she had never met. When we got home she was still limping so I took her to the vet. They told me she had a luxating patella and they wanted me to try Rimidyl for a week and see if she felt better. Well she didnt and we ended up back at the vet. The vet took more x rays because of her previous hip problems and found out that it looked like Doodles had completely grown out of her bad hips. But her Luxation was bad and she need surgery. So at the end of January Doodles had Patella surgery on her left knee. The vet also looked at the other knee and said the other one looked normal. Well we got her home and tried to keep her quiet which isnt easy because she is the hyperist Cavalier I have ever seen. Everything was going good till yesterday. I woke up yesterday and she was limping on her right leg. I just cried! This morning the right leg seems fine but she is now holding up her left leg and seems like she is having trouble going to the bathroom. We are going to the vet tomorrow but I am horrible scared of the outcome. I love all my pets to death but this couldnt have come at a worse time. My fiancee and I waited to start planning our wedding till after we had taken care of her medical expenses. I just sent the site deposit(1500.00) three days ago. Plus Doodles little sister(Kiwi) is getting spayed next week and microchipped and her other sister who is a cat(Lexus) is getting a dental the same day. That should be around a 500.00 vet bill. How do I come up with another 1000.00? I know I will find a way to pay for it if she needs it but the stress is going to kill me in the meantime. I am also worried about the quality of life she will have if she needs a surgery on her other knee or the same one again. She is a spunky dog. Keeping her off the couch, stairs and peoples lap is virtually impossible. I feel like I ma failing her as a mom. I have always considered myself very responsible for 21yrs old and thought I did more for my pets then most people would do but I am seriously doubting myself now. I just look at her and I cry because I cant bear the thought of losing her or not letting her be herself!

Residential property types vary with mobility, the number of occupants and adjacency to neighbors. It is crucial to planning and select the right category of residential property as a realty investment. The multitude of apartments for rent in Murfreesboro TN is an excellent choice for top-class multi-family residence.
Budget, return on investments, location, and personal preferences play a pivotal role in choosing a residential property. It is essential to keep these factors in mind before making the actual choice.
The primary classification of residential property types include:
- Properties based on mobility
Mobile homes they are convenient, moveable, and have light construction elements. Some typical examples are tents, houseboats, and cabins. A major demerit of mobiles homes is that they have very low resale values when compared to the other forms of residential property types.
- Properties based on the number of occupants and adjacency to neighbors
Single-family homes and multiple family homes represent the broader categorization of residential properties based on the count of residents and the proximity of neighboring walls.
Single family homes Mansions, villas, and cottages are typical examples of single family homes. They represent the most popular residential property comprising a detached, freestanding building equipped with a backyard. Though they are expensive and incur high maintenance cost, their resale value is equally significant and competitive, and they have the major advantage of freedom from loud next-door neighbors.
Multiple-family homes Townhouses, condominiums, and apartments are typical examples of multiple family homes. In such property types, the individual residential units are attached to one another within an elaborate or as a single building.
Townhouse It includes identical row of houses with shared, side-to-side walls. It is also called a terraced house or a row house.
Condominium Often confused with an apartment; a condominium is a property type that is owned by an individual rather than rented. Every home encourages community living and arranges an ordinary homeowner's association committee.
Apartment The most famous residential property next to single family homes, an apartment comprises individual residential units built in multi-stories with the units being owned or rented.
Duplex, triplex, quadruple Similar to a townhouse, the duplex, triplex, and quadruple houses have two, three, and four residential units with side-to-side or back-to-back walls and a typical backyard or garden.
The biggest advantage of multiple family homes for single family homes is that they are comparatively less expensive to buy. However, they have the disadvantage of intrusion by noisy neighbors.
If any of the above demerits are an important cause of concern, there is always the option of buying open plots and building a property. It can take a long time and is the most expensive reality option, but it has the advantage of not restricting the owner from making design modifications to the property.

Don't jump into underperforming sectors because stocks leveraged to the consumer are poised to pop, Barbara Reinhard of Credit Suisse said Friday.
"The argument for actually buying the laggards is premised on that most people believe that defensives cannot lead a rally," she said.
On CNBC's "Fast Money," Reinhard said that wasn't the case, based on a review of the 26 years in which equities posted positive returns since 1982.
"We found that health care was one of the top three sectors in 12 of those years, and consumer staples were the leader in 10 of those years," she said. "We think that the leverage the U.S. consumer has, though, is pretty significant, especially because we're seeing a continued recovery in residential real estate."
Reinhard said that financials, which had faced heavy headwinds for a while, were now attractive because of improving capital markets activity.
Technology, she added, wouldn't benefit as much from an improving economy via increased corporate capital spending as would consumer discretionary because of expected increased hiring through the remainder of 2013.
Reinhard also sounded positive on dividend-paying stocks, master limited partnerships and higher-yielding fixed-income vehicles, such as senior leveraged loans.
Lastly, housing still had more recovery ahead.
"I think any way that you can play housing is a good thing," she said, noting that the sector was 25 percent off its peak.
Reinhard said that when looking at risk assets, so many of them are at all-time highs, including equities .
"But housing actually has the best risk-return because it still is in its recovery mode, and we think it's going to be very durable in nature," she said. "And we think that's going to make the consumer feel a lot better."

Party shooting victims' fathers want answers
The fathers of two teens killed at a Saturday night house party in Cypress pleaded on Wednesday for people who attended the party to help bring the killers to justice.
"I ask them to think about their own fathers and mothers who would want answers if they were lying there," said Lawrence Guidry, father of 17-year-old Qu'eric Danarius Bernard Richardson, who was killed in the street near the home in the 7300 block of Enchanted Creek. "They would want someone to give answers to their mother."
Arielle Shepherd, 16, died at a nearby hospital after being shot in the chest. Her father also implored teens who may have seen who killed his daughter to come forward.
The two men called a news conference - with community activist Quanell X, who offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the killers - in front of the home where the shootings took place. Quanell X said teens have been slow to help out because of fears of retaliation from gangs connected to the shooting.
"If you help us find the real shooters, we will protect you," the activist said. "This 'no-snitch policy' has done more damage to the black community than any other verbal practice that we've ever participated in," Quanell X said. He also lambasted the Harris County Sheriff's Office for arresting a 21-year-old man in connection with the shooting only to have the district attorney's office drop the charges the next day.
On Monday, sheriff's investigators jailed Willie John-Peters Young on deadly conduct charges, claiming he fired a gun randomly at partygoers. After authorities released Young on Tuesday, Quannell X said the sheriff's investigation had been too swift and sloppy.
Another man, Randy Stewart, also has been arrested in the shooting. He remains in the Harris County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail, charged with aggravated assault.
On Wednesday, the victims' fathers also complained they had not been regularly updated by the sheriff's office and that investigators had not interviewed them or their family members who were also at the party.
"I don't think they want the truth," Guidry said.
'False, false, false'
Sheriff's officials flatly denied the allegations.
"False, false, false," said Christina Garza, a spokeswoman with the sheriff's office. She said homicide detectives have interviewed Guidry's son and have kept the victims' families updated.
"We've spoken with Mr. Guidry on several occasions, and we interviewed his son the day this happened," Garza said. "Our investigators sat down with Ms. Shepherd's parents, gave them some information and explained the process moving forward. They were the ones who delivered the death notification to the parents."
Morton Ranch students
Richardson and Shepherd were both students at Morton Ranch High School in the Katy Independent School District.
They were among about 100 people attending a birthday party for a Cy-Fair ISD student when gunfire, which prosecutors believe was gang-related, broke out.
Richardson was shot in the head outside the house in the 7300 block of Enchanted Creek. Shepherd, a sophomore, was shot in the torso inside the house.
Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to call the sheriff's homicide division at 713-967-5810 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS. Residents also can use the Sheriff's Office's iWatch Harris County smartphone app to provide emails, text messages, photos or video.

One of them that I finished up is my stocking to donate to the Stockings for Kids program that Lyanna at Purple Panda Quilts has set up. I used scraps and fabrics from my stash (all were from Joann's) and used ric-rac for the hanging loop. The back is just a solid piece of Christmas print fabric (never even thought to take a picture of the back!)
|Ohio- Please stop raining so I can take nicer pictures outside please!
I loosely followed this tutorial to make the zig zag panel for the front. but it took me several tries and cuts until I got them to be the size I envisioned. Then I made a pattern from a stocking we had at home and added red to the top and bottom. The front and back are quilted with batting and then I used a green for the lining. I opted for ric-rac for the hanger for two reasons 1) it looks cute and 2) I was so into following the directions to make the lining that I completely forgot to add a loop so I decided to just stitch on the ric-rac and not take the whole thing apart. But seriously, when I realized I left off the loop I wanted to cry! I used this tutorial to make the lining and the cuff (which I just did in the same red) and it was very easy to follow (as long as you remember your loop!)
If you have the time please consider making a stocking to donate! I had a great time making mine and am thrilled that it may bring some Christmas cheer to a child this holiday season. If you need some inspiration check out the Flickr page, or the Purple Panda Quilts page for some great tutorials!
I'm linking up at Stitching by Starlight's Finished it Friday! Be sure to stop by and check out what others have finished up this week too!

The Saints beat visiting Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial 2-1 Monday night. However, last Thursday the Saints traveled to Waseca, gave up one earned run and lost 6-1.
The Saints beat visiting Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial 2-1 Monday night.
Sam Carlson got the win. He went five innings, struck out six, gave up only two hits, walked five and was charged with one earned run.
Nick Anderson tossed the last two innings in the Saints win.
Lead off hitter Zack Gleiter went one for two with two stolen bases. On the base he stole in the bottom of the third inning, Gleiter advanced to third from second when the throw from the catcher skipped into shallow center field. He then scored the Saints first run on a wild pitch by LCWM's pitcher Trevor Brandts.
The Knights tied the game in the top of the fourth by scratching out a run. Carlson walked a batter on a full count. He failed to cleanly field a sac bunt attempt, so the runner beat the throw to first. With two on, a single to right tied the game.
LCWM could have broken the game open when they loaded the bases, but Carlson worked out of the jam and that was the only run the visitors got...
Last Thursday the Saints traveled to Waseca, gave up 1 earned run and lost 6-1. The seven errors the Saints committed allowed five unearned runs and that was a major reason for the loss.
The Saints only had two hits - one each by Anthony Stordalen and Craig Nelson. Zac Hiller got the shutout for the Bluejays.
Kyle Pinke took the loss for the Saints. Pinke pitched two innings, struck out one, walked four, gave up three runs with none of them earned...

A catechumen is one who is preparing for baptism in the Church. In modern usage, catechumen can also refer to one who is preparing for chrismation (or another form of reception) to be received from a heterodox Christian communion.
In the ancient Church, the catechumenate, or time during which one is a catechumen, often lasted for as much as three years and included not only participation in the divine services but also catechesis, formal instruction from a teacher, often the bishop or appointed catechist. Exorcists often performed the catechetical role, as well, following their initial prayers of exorcism over the one being made a catechumen, which is the traditional manner of receiving a catechumen into the community of the Church.
Catechumens are understood to be Christians upon beginning their catechumenate, and should they die before baptism, they are traditionally given an Orthodox funeral.
As the Church eventually became the majority religion of the lands in which it sojourned, the catechumenate as an institution gradually died out in many places, as most Christians were being baptized shortly after birth. As Orthodoxy has moved into the West and Far East and begun gaining converts to the faith, the catechumenate has been significantly rejuvenated.
Catechetical instruction in Orthodoxy in America does not typically last the three years which was common in the time of St. John Chrysostom, but typically can last from six months to a year, depending on the practice of the bishop, his jurisdiction, and the level of spiritual maturity of the catechumen. Local parish priests typically oversee the catechesis of those preparing to be received into the Church.
The Orthodox Church has no formal catechism, a single body of work that details the specifics of its faith. This is one difference between the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, who does have a specific catechism.

Animals - Names and Sounds Lite
iOS iPhone Education
Can young children learn English and life science, get to know the letters and practice listening all at the same time? Welcome to our first game from the series called "ANIMALS", in which you will meet 41 friendly animals living in four different environments - Safari, Farm, Ocean and Forest. Each of the animals will present itself by making its natural sounds, while children can also hear its name read by a child speaker***. In all the parts, a child has to get through four increasingly difficult levels*** of fun and learning. On the first level, children are to touch the animal, whose sound they hear. They can experience what the squeal of a pig, the roar of the king of the jungle or the singing of a whale sound like. After guessing 8 examples*** correctly, the player can go on to the second level***, where animals must be identified on the basis of their names which children can see and hear. On the third and most difficult level***, children are required to choose the name of the animal they see. No hints this time! The fourth and last level*** is a summary of all the exercises and an opportunity to see what the player has learned. It consists of randomly chosen exercises from all the previous levels. In the marvelous game "ANIMALS - Names and Sounds", children will fall in love with the cute creatures and their funny noises. So it can be really difficult to pull the young players away from the great fun they will have with their new animated friends. *** 4 environments with 1 level and 4 examples are free, the others can be bought in the full version. The full version of the game includes: - 41 animals - recordings of real animal sounds - instructions, names of animals and feedback read by a child speaker - 4 environments: Safari, Farm, Ocean and Forest - 4 levels of difficulty - iq mode stimulating mental activity - intuitive interface

1) Make it from scratch. Who needs dinosaur-shaped mystery chicken? Not you! I made these last night after only eating a granola bar all day, and was really tempted to just buy frozen chicken fingers. I'm so glad I didn't. These take about 20 minutes worth of effort, and the results are a million times tastier than the frozen kind.
2) Serve with a snazzy dipping sauce - not ketchup. I like ketchup as much as the next gal, but my favorite honey mustard or some homemade BBQ sauce will elevate chicken fingers from kid food, to fancy grown-lady cuisine.
3) Enjoy your chicken fingers while watching something wildly inappropriate, and meant for grown-ladies on TV. 20 years ago, I would've eaten chicken fingers while watching Full House or Clarissa Explains it all. Last night, I enjoyed them while finally watching the first two episodes of Girls. You think Clarissa Darling had problems? Girlfriend had nothing on Hannah Horvath.
4) Last but not least, wash your chicken fingers down with a beer. Duh.
Here's what you'll need:
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 large egg whites
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Cooking spray
3 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4 inch wide strips (I trimmed the excess fat off mine, sliced off about an inch from the flat, narrow end of the breast, and cut into 4 even strips.)
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. In a large skillet, combine the panko and canola oil. Turn the heat on to medium-high, and toast breadcrumbs for 8-10 minutes, until golden-brown. Stir frequently to ensure that they don't burn! Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish and set aside.
In a separate shallow dish, mix together flour, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg whites, water, Dijon mustard, and thyme.
Place a wire cooling rack over a baking sheet, and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Dredge one chicken strip in flour, then egg mixture, and lastly in the breadcrumbs, shaking off excess in between steps. Place coated chicken on prepared rack, and repeat with remaining strips.
If you're like me and find breading food to be a colossal pain in the tookus, here are some tips:
- Leave the water slowly running while you bread the chicken. Yes, it's wasteful, but it really helps if you rinse the egg and panko clumps from your fingers in between breading each piece. The reason I suggest leaving the sink on is to avoid cross contamination between the chicken and the faucet.
- Use 2 dishes for the breadcrumbs. Keep the majority of the breadcrumbs in a larger dish, and before breading each strip, transfer a small handful to a saucer, and bread the strip there. That way, you can avoid getting big clumps of egg mixed in with all the breadcrumbs.
After all the chicken is breaded, spray the tops lightly with cooking spray. Bake in preheated oven to 12-16 minutes, and serve immediately.
(Update on 5/1: These are excellent leftover! Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Flip over halfway through.)

Discomfort that doesn't go away during fingerdrop practice?
(Disclaimer: This is not an official Hypnobabies answer.
This is just from my personal experience as a Hypnobabies Instructor
and working with moms from the Hypnobabies Yahoo Group.)
Kerry's Answer
Twinges, itches and aches during Hypnobabies scripts, CDs and practice have nothing to do with what you are learning, practicing and being deeply programmed with for childbirth. All of these techniques along with the suggestions are aimed at and specifically used for, *childbirth*. Some moms can easily use their hypnosis for other things after they have practiced a lot, and some moms need more time and more specific direction to do so.
1) To help with non-birthing issues, just keep practicing and Listening to your CDs. Most of the suggestions in Hypnobabies are completely geared for childbirth and the day of birth, so it takes more practice and hypnotic programming to use your hypno-anesthesia for other things in the body. This is also easier for some people than others, and is automatically easier for those who practice moving their anesthesia around their body when doing the finger-drop technique, directing it to specific parts that may bother them and really spending some time deepening the anesthesia.
2) There may be a physiological reason for your pain that hypnosis might not take care of. Baby's position, round ligaments being stretched, muscles strained, and nerves being pinched all tell us things about the body. My suggestion would be to get thee to a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy. In-utero constraint of the baby causes most of the aches and pains women unnecessarily experience in pregnancy as well as fetal malposition and can easily be taken care of by regular chiropractic adjustment, not to mention helping you align your own body for the easiest birthing experience.
My Experience
I had PUPPS (pregnancy rash) when I was pregnant with Bryson. At first when I did my fingerdrop it would make my stomach stop itching… but after a few days as my rash got worse, my fingerdrop technique, peace cue, NOTHING helped. It was frustrating. I finally was seen by a high risk OB who said it was one of the worst cases he had seen (the nurses didn't even know what it was because it was so bad) So I did end up choosing to use some medication. When I was not so inflamed than the fingerdrop would help with mild itching, etc.
The thing is that with our hypnosis practice, fingerdrop it is really mostly focusing on birthing areas, muscles. Also during birth, as we stay relaxed that is what allows our muscles to work easily and comfortably. Some moms with practice are able to use their anesthesia in non-birth related areas. I was never really good with that aspect (moving it to other areas) but still had a comfortable birth experience.
Remember during your birthing time, you will go deeper and deeper with every birthing wave, with every sound you hear, with every breath you take.... so with all of that compounding you will be VERY relaxed as your pressure waves get powerfully strong. SO it is ok if you feel discomfort using the fingerdrop before your birth. It WILL work beautifully during your birthing time.

Thanks for starting my day off with a big smile, Blue! Enjoy your big day on center stage, strutting your stuff, being treated to all your heart desires and more! Lots of love to you, beautiful Blue! And please have your people give you some yummy apple for me!

"I'm from Queens, I grew up in Forest Hills and I never knew that this was in my back yard," Leonardo said. "It just so happened I was returning home from a residency, and assisted a friend of my to install her work at the park. During that time, I discovered there was a job opening. I had just returned from graduate school and I was lucky enough to get the position."
Leonardo went straight to work with the park, and became immersed in the programming aspect of park management, establishing one of the park's most popular series in short order.
"I started as a special events manager, and my primary responsibility was overseeing the outdoor cinema, which has grown exponentially," Leonardo said. "Now we are enjoying roughly 1,400 park goers who come here every Wednesday for that."
Along with entertainment programming such as the outdoor cinema, Leonardo oversees a whole host of programming geared at hands-on learning.
"What I try to do is introduce educational programming and art-making workshops that, when possible, tie into the larger scope of what we do with our established, international artists," he said.
As the park continues to grow its mission, Leonardo is focused on raising awareness among Queens residents about the park's existence and atmosphere in hopes to continually attract new visitors.
"The truth is, there are a number of people in Queens that don't realize we exist. As the word gets out and our popularity grows, I do think that this sense of pride, not only as an established art institution that does stunning visual works, but how we congregate as a community, how we share the artworks and give people an excuse to create their own experience among the artworks is one of a kind," Leonardo said. "We're open every day of the year, and everything we do is free."

Monte Carlo methods are a class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to compute their results. Monte Carlo methods are often used in simulating physical and mathematical systems. Because of their reliance on repeated computation of random or pseudo-random numbers, these methods are most suited to calculation by a computer and tend to be used when it is unfeasible or impossible to compute an exact result with a deterministic algorithm.

Police File A Complaint Against 9-Yea-Old Rapper "Lil Poppy's" Dad For Explicit Content
"—Police have asked state child welfare officials to investigate possible child abuse or neglect in the case of a 9-year-old who appears in sexually suggestive rap videos. Brockton police said Monday they haven't filed criminal charges or arrested Luis Rivera, the father of fourth-grader Luie Rivera Jr., who goes by the stage name Lil Poopy. "I find this absolutely absurd. I find it racially tinged. And I'm hoping that when their department takes a look at it, that this doesn't go any further," Rivera's attorney Joseph Krowski said." - WCBV

The object of Cargo-bot is to write programs that control a robotic arm to move, sort, and stack colored crates. The computer language is a simple instruction set consisting of of squares that tell the arm which direction to move, and whether or not to perform an action based on the color of the crate. You write the programs by dragging and dropping the instruction squares into a sequence that causes the arm to perform the assigned task. You can also write programs that execute other programs you've written. (This is important because each program has space for just 8 squares, so you need to be able to write efficient code to complete the challenges). The challenges start out easy but become maddeningly difficult as you progress. With subroutines, if-then statements, and plenty of opportunities to practice debugging, it's a good way to get kids to think like a programmer. You can also record a video of your program in action and share it to YouTube.

Lennon walking SFA tightrope
Neil Lennon returned to the dugout and straight back into the spotlight with comments about the Scottish Football Association's apparent leniency in dealing with Rangers.
The Celtic boss was handed a four-match ban by the SFA for his touchline spat with Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist at the end of the Hoops' Scottish Cup fifth-round replay win at Parkhead on March 2. McCoist successfully appealed against his two-match ban and Paul McBride QC, who represented Lennon at Hampden and got his suspension effectively reduced to one game, claimed the ruling body was now the "laughing stock of world football".
Lennon treaded carefully when asked about McBride's comments following the 1-0 win at St Johnstone, saying: "That is Paul's opinion. He is not speaking on behalf of the club or myself but obviously Paul is someone I respect and admire very much and if he is saying that then there might be a lot of other people thinking that as well."
The Northern Irishman, who watched his side go five points clear of Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League courtesy of a Beram Kayal goal, asked the media to make up their own mind about the fairness of the SFA's decision.
"It is interesting that out of the fallout of the 'shame game' as people called it, I am the one who got punished and three other people got let off," he said.
"Would there have been any point me appealing? No. That's why I didn't appeal. I can't comment on a lot of things otherwise I will be back where I was last week (in the stand).
"But if you have any media integrity at all you will call it as it is. I will keep my counsel for another time."
St Johnstone boss Derek McInnes saw his side finish the game with 10 men after substitute Chris Millar came off with a groin injury after all three replacements had been used ahead of Saturday's Scottish Cup semi-final against Motherwell at Hampden Park.
He said: "We hope Chris is okay. Peter Enckelman had a bit of fluid in his knee but he will be fine as well.
"We tried to be as strong as we possibly could without putting us at risk on Saturday and hopefully we got the balance right and if we get the result at Hampden it will be worth it."

"The Regional Park Authority has moved at record speed to find a new operator for Hemlock Overlook after George Mason University announced that they would end their long operations here. We received the word from GMU on December 31st that they would cease operations by June 30th. NVRPA worked rapidly to put out a request for proposals, evaluate proposals from ten organizations and select Adventure Links as the right organization to run the programs at Hemlock Overlook. Adventure Links has over ten years experience in providing environmental education, team building and confidence building to children and adults. They are the perfect partner to take Helmock Overlook to the next level," stated Su Webb, Chairman of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority.
"Hemlock is just beautiful and offers a great backdrop for environmental learning. We are very excited to be operating Hemlock in cooperation with NVRPA and we look forward to a great partnership," said Anna Birch, Adventure Links' President.
Birch, members of the Adventure Links staff, as well as Bulova and Herrity offered their words in the shade of the forest, each noting the importance of the facility to the area. Sharon Bulova talked about the role of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority in conserving natural resources, and how conservation needs to be done from a regional perspective. NVRPA was founded 50 years ago with a mission to conserve the region's most important natural and historic resources. Today NVRPA owns over 25 miles of contiguous parkland along the Bull Run and Occoquan Rivers, and over 13 miles of shoreline along the Potomac River. Hemlock Overlook is one of a string of parks that NVRPA owns on the Bull Run along the southern border of Fairfax County.
Supervisor Pat Herrity referring, to the famous zip line at Hemlock Overlook said, This is always something I've wanted to do. As a chaperone many years ago, I watched the kids zip down this line. But as a chaperone, we were never able to go. I'm going to change that today." Then, in the moment of the event, Sharon Bulova and Pat Herrity went down the zip line together, to the applause of everyone there.
Pat Herrity, Springfield District Supervisor
The fun spectacle was a great way to open the new partnership to the public.
Hemlock Overlook has been a mainstay for students in area schools for years and a right of passage for 5th and 6th graders for decades.
"We knew we needed to find a new, dynamic partner," said NVRPA Executive Director Paul Gilbert. "Anyone who visits Hemlock Overlook knows what a special place it is. We are thrilled to have found an organization with the energy and vision of Adventure Links. Adventure Links is offering field trips for area schools that incorporate Standards of Learning (SOLs) into a day of fun, adventure, and teambuilding." Adventure Links is also offering teambuilding events for adult groups (companies and organizations) as well as summer camps and other programs for children.
"We are looking forward to a great year and are excited to have Adventure Links as a partner to bring new ideas and fresh, creative programming to Hemlock," Gilbert added.

Give into your anger and sample a steaming cup and you will be rewarded with power beyond your imagination.

Deep in the jungles of Dagobah grow the most delicious green tea leaves in the galaxy. If you need a moment alone to ponder the Force, do it while sipping a hot cup of Yoda's favorite tea.
Finally, Hoth Cocoa is guaranteed to warm you all the way to your bones. It's the preferred beverage of the Rebels of Echo Base. All you need are warm hand-knitted socks. When life gives you snow, melt it into water and use it to make a steaming cup of rich, creamy Hoth Cocoa.
