Not all morbidly obese got that way from a lack of self-control or lack of exercise. My sister's bi-polar meds (the ones that didn't cause allergic reaction) caused her to gain close to 200 lbs. She has a difficult choice- control the bi-polar symptoms or control the weight. Can't do both. Be glad this isn't your cross to bear.

Irene, I really don't want to sound nasty or disrespectful, but I've got to ask, if one can gain weight without eating, should not others of us be able to maintain weight without eating? We could put all the groceries and feedlots out of business.

Just being honest, Irene. Would you prefer that I lie and say that I think an 800-lb woman is beautiful?
Because I think that the vast majority of people who become obese got that way because of a lack of self-control. There is too much cheap fast food available to everybody, and too many people drive everywhere.
Your sister is one person with a problem, but she is atypical. And I would guess that she would do anything she could to lose the weight, including stomach stapling.
The vast majority of morbidly obese people got that way because they don't know anything about nutrition and consequently eat too many of the wrong foods, and they don't get enough exercise.

Are you suggesting that folks just stop consuming food? Or are you suggesting that everyone is capable of self-control in regards to food intake?
In my sister's case, I know part of the weight is not fat - but retained fluids. Some is from extra calories- the meds seems to mess with satiety sensation.

Honest? Should have posted something else. This was just an opportunity to ridicule someone for how they look.
(ya know, when I first embarked on an exercise program - walking- I got heckled and ridiculed mercilessly. Why should one continue if met with such ugliness?)
I gather that any drastic change in my sister's weight would throw off the levels of meds that control her bi-polar condition. Getting them just right is an arduous exercise. So stomach stapling isn't a good idea here.

This woman wants to set the world record as fattest woman. How is this different from seeing how much alcohol you can drink or how much cocaine you can snort?

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

So, then, the growing obesity problem in America is just one of those things?
What the hell, let people have their enormous meals and then waddle into their cars instead of walking somewhere. Who cares if being overweight is bad for your health? Who cares that one third of all Americans today are overweight, and that another third are obese?
That five-minute McDonald's or KFC meal, or that second helping of greasy barbecue is worth a heart attack, right? The pleasures of stuffing your mouth trump everything else.
Obesity has to do with culture. Perhaps most of the naysayers who have posted so far are not old enough to remember a time when most people were not so fat. When I was a kid, it was very unusual to see a fat person, let alone an obese person. And I put the blame for everybody porking out squarely in the changing culture.
For one thing, people are getting lazier. More people follow a sedentary lifestyle. Many years ago, people did a lot more walking. We don't have school buses here, and fewer people owned cars, so kids walked to and from school, and people walked to the train or bus to get to work. I have always walked to the shops myself.
For another thing, the fast food culture seems to have taken over the industrialised world. People don't care that the stuff is full of empty calories, is mostly just fat and salt, or that it's bad for anybody's health. They just don't want to have to go and cook something at home.
If you look at movies made in the 1950s and into the 1960s, you don't see fat people in crowd scenes. Nowadays, though, it's almost a given that half the people are going to be not just fat, but really overweight. One third of the adult population of America is overweight, and another third is considered to be obese.
But, hey, not to worry. Just close your eyes and pretend that there's nothing wrong with being hugely fat. And don't even try to keep your weight down. Because everybody's fat, so where's the problem?

Irene -
You say that when you decided to exercise, people made fun of you? Do you mean that you went out walking and people pointed and laughed and made rude remarks?
Or, did you exercise in a gym? People go to gyms all the time. I can't see why you would have been made an object of fun for that.
Sorry, but I just don't get it. Unless, of course, Americans have so gotten out of the habit of exercising or walking that they find a jogger or person out for a walk to be a curiosity.
As somebody who has always worried about gaining weight, I have been a walker all my life, and I walk to our local mall every day, and I can honestly say that nobody has ever laughed at me or poked fun or made any sort of insulting comment. Far from it. When I pass people, we smile at each other and wish each other a good day or make a comment about the weather.
Anyway, what do you care if idiots heckle you when you're out walking or exercising? It's your health that's at stake, and if they want to make fools of themselves for laughing at somebody doing what nature intended humans to do, then the hell with them.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes manager Brendan Rodgers fits the bill for what most clubs would pick if they were looking for a new boss.
After a shaky start to his career at Anfield having taken over from Kenny Dalglish, Rodgers' new way of working has started to show signs it is clicking into gear. He has been fully-backed by the players during the transition and Gerrard believes the Northern Irishman, who turns 40 on Saturday, represents the new breed of manager.
"Our fans demand that we are successful and that we win and if you are looking for a young manager out there who has everything going for him who can help us achieve that success I think you pick Brendan Rodgers," he said.

SEATTLE (AP) - A new study suggests that changing the channel from violent TV shows to education TV can improve the behavior of preschoolers.
The results from the study at Seattle Children's Research Institute say that improvement is modest and fades over time.
But lead author Dr. Dimitri Christakis says it shows that "What children watch is as important as how much they watch."

A Grand Valley nightclub with a bad wrap for criminal activity will most likely get its liquor license renewed. But county officials say things will have to change if Rum Bay wants to keep its liquor license for much longer.
"We were having very large crowds at night," said Bill Logsdon, owner of Rum Bay. "Then they went below half of occupancy."
Logsdon says times have been tough for the club since it was reamed by county officials during a public hearing last month. As they were considering whether to renew the club's liquor license, county commissioners say heavy law enforcement activity there over the past six months gave them good reason to be concerned.
"It's not just the numbers, but it's the type of calls they're getting," said Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland. "We did see a significant increase in some of the calls to the Rum Bay facility."
According to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, they've received 105 calls to Rum from November 2007 to May 2008. That's up from 77 during the same period a year earlier.
During a public hearing Monday morning, a sheriff's deputy said over the last six months, they've responded to 16 assaults and 15 fights, up from 8 assaults and 1 fight a year earlier.
Logsdon, who took over Rum Bay in December, says the reason those numbers are up is because the previous owners never reported crimes.
"I'd say the number of calls did increase because we did call the Sheriff's Department," said Logsdon.
He says the club is taking steps to fix those problems.
"We've doubled security and we have designated drivers," said Logsdon.
As he addressed the county commissioners Monday, Logsdon says Rum Bay is not what the Sheriff's Office has made it out to be.
"I wanted to get across that Rum Bay is a fun, safe place to come," said Logsdon. "It is a better place than it's ever been and we deserve a chance."
The Mesa County commissioners say they're willing to give Rum Bay that chance if they clean up their act. They say they intend to renew the club's liquor license, but only if certain stipulations are met.
They must work with the Sheriff's Office to keep criminal activity down, they have to update their surveillance system, they must perform criminal background checks on employees, and they must show proof that they've trained employees to serve alcohol responsibly and deal with unruly customers.
If at anytime, the commissioners learn Rum Bay is not following the rules, they can call a special hearing and revoke their license.
"I think these conditions are a happy medium and will ensure public safety at the same time giving Rum Bay a chance to run a good, top notch business," said Rowland.
The owners of Rum Bay have two weeks to review the rules before the commissioners make their final decision on the liquor license. The next hearing is scheduled for June 30.

SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah success story has been highlighted in a national publication detailing key milestones accomplished in wildlife and fish habitat restoration across the country.
In its landmark publication, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service details accomplishments made through the Wildlife and Sports Restoration Program, which it hails as the cornerstone of fish and wildlife conservation in North America. The report is in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Pittman-Robertson Act, which was born in the Dust Bowl era out of concerns to protect and restore wildlife populations — from wild turkey to deer, elk and bighorn sheep.
As an example, it points to Kentucky's efforts to re-establish elk herds, which had been wiped out in that state since the 1850s. By 2009, through the use of the federal moneys generated by a tax assessed on hunting equipment, the animals' populations had reached the target goal of 10,000.
Through these taxes levied on hunting and later fishing equipment through the Dingell-Johnson Act, more than $700 million is raised each year and funneled to habitat conservation and outdoor recreation projects.
"All Americans, whether or not they hunt or fish, benefit from this program. There's a good chance that the trail they hike, the park where they watch birds, and the wildlife they see every day wouldn't exist without the funding provided by hunters and anglers," said Hannibal Bolton, assistant director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"In addition to providing conservation benefits, Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration funds — along with revenue from state fishing and hunting licenses — support local economies and generate thousands of jobs."
In Utah, the state Division of Wildlife Resources has used a portion of the money over the years to acquire about 60,000 acres that make up the Tabby Mountain Wildlife Management Area.
Situated in the foothills of Tabby Mountain in Duchsense County, the property is prime winter range for thousands of deer and elk, said Randall Thacker, the state's assistant wildlife manager in the northeast region.
"I've sat in one particular area and personally counted 1,300 elk in one spot."
The area also contains leks — gathering grounds for the greater sage grouse — which the state has been aggressively trying to keep off the Endangered Species list.
"It is a critical area for the sage grouse," Thacker said. "They're really pretty and really unique."
Thacker added that the Tabby Mountain Wildlife Management Area is the biggest wildlife management area in the state and boasts one of the most popular, sizable deer herds in Utah.
"It is such an important place for wildlife and a huge migration corridor. We would not be able to maintain the number of deer there without this area — probably only a fourth of what we have there now."
Most recently, the state sold a game farm in Roosevelt that was initially paid for with sportsmen's dollars. Thacker said the property was used to hunt pheasant and chukar, but homes have begun to sprout up around it, making its use as a shooting area undesirable.
From the sale of that property, the division was able to negotiate the purchase of 5,700 acres from the Allan Smith family for about $981,000. The Mule Deer Foundation kicked in $200,000 it raised at a banquet.
"It turned out to be a real benefit for everyone," Thacker said. "The foundation was just really good to work with us. There are certain groups that put their money where their mouth is."
The property had been in the Smith family shortly after it was homesteaded in the early 1900s.
"The Smiths had a real interest in seeing the land stay open for wildlife."
Thacker added that there has been pressure to develop the land by subdividing it into lots for trophy homes.
The problem, he said, is that development and deer herds don't mix well, with homeowners who often clear away native vegetation that supports wildlife and the deer getting into haystacks or crops.
"Those ranchettes and cabins come with dogs and a lot of roads," he said, "and with changes to the nature of vegetation, that pretty much wipes out the wildlife value of the property."
With the addition of the acreage to the wildlife management area, Thacker said that property will now be preserved for generations to come.
"Allen Smith was a real force to make sure it was preserved. They definitely could have sold it for more."
Over the years, with the estimated $125 million in wildlife restoration money the division has received, it has been able to acquire about 40 pieces of property for its wildlife habitat portfolio, Thacker said. Another $127 million has been funneled to Utah for fish restoration programs.
"Obviously, everybody in the state benefits from this money. It's been a great thing for wildlife."

The parents of one of Europe's best-known missing children say the discovery of three women in Cleveland who were abducted 10 years ago provides hope their daughter can be rescued safely.
Six years ago last week, Madeleine McCann disappeared during a vacation in Portugal. Kate and Gerry McCann have not wavered from their belief their daughter was kidnapped and is still alive, and they say the events in Cleveland had confirmed their optimism.
"The discovery of these young women reaffirms our hope of finding Madeleine, which has never diminished," the parents said in a statement provided to ABC News through a spokesman. "Their recovery is also further evidence that children are sometimes abducted and kept for long periods."
On May 3, 2007, McCann disappeared from an apartment in the Algarve region Portugal, where the 3-year-old was staying with her parents and twin siblings. The McCann's quickly became suspects, but they were exonerated. They maintain they were having dinner about 150 feet away when McCann was snatched from her room.
Last year Scotland Yard said it believed McCann might be alive, and urged the Portuguese police to reopen the case.
"We are here, seeking to bring closure," Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood told the BBC's Panorama program last April.
Thirty British investigators have reviewed 40,000 pieces of information in a review called Operation Grange. It also released a photo of what McCann would look like today. But so far, they have not announced any breakthroughs, nor have they convinced the Portuguese authorities to take another look at what has become a cold case.
Sunday would have been McCann's 10th birthday. In a recent interview with the Daily Telegraph, Kate McCann described her life as a constant state of limbo.
"As there is nothing to suggest that Madeleine is not alive we have to keep looking for her," Kate told the Telegraph, saying the family still observes Madeleine's birthdays and still gives her Christmas presents that fill a keepsake box. "Living in limbo with this void and uncertainty is truly dreadful. It's hard to rest, to find peace."
But Kate said that while she spent years "despising" Madeleine's assumed abductor, today she could forgive, if the girl were found alive.
"I don't know whether it's simply because I'm stronger or because there's no benefit in not forgiving someone," said Kate, who has become ambassador for the charity Missing People. "I can't change anything and I don't want to be eaten up by hatred and bitterness. And maybe there is an element of pity -- what kind of person could do something like this?"
Before Scotland Yard launched its review, the McCanns initiated one of the largest and most public campaigns ever created to find a missing child. They hired private investigators and made sure to keep Madeleine's name in the media.
That need has lessened since British investigators took over. But in the statement, the family asks that everyone continue to help find Madeleine.
"We ask the public to remain vigilant in the ongoing search for Madeleine," they said. "Our thoughts are with the women in America and their families."

TORONTO — A chance meeting at a wedding in Toronto two years ago inspired Larry Bell, 72, to get back into competitive swimming.
A competitor at the Maccabiah Games in 1957, and 1964, when his team won gold in the medley relay, he happened to meet a fellow swimmer, Ami Trauber, who swam for Israel in 1957.
"He told me he was swimming on the Canadian master's team and asked me to join him [in the upcoming 19th Maccabiah Games]," Bell said.
"My grandson, Cole Grossinger, is playing on the open men's volleyball team, and my son-in-law, Howie, Cole's dad, is the assistant coach of that team. How could I not think about the opportunity of having three generations going to the Games?"
The Maccabiah Games, which run every four years in Israel, are being held from July 18 to 30.
Bell, who founded Camp Robin Hood in its current Markham location 54 years ago – it's now run by his daughter and son-in-law, Sari and Howie Grossinger – is still active in the camp's day-to-day operations.
"It's a labour of love for me. I love working with young people."
For the past seven months, since he decided to enter the competition Israel, he has been swimming five times a week, and he swam in Tel Aviv when he was there for his grandson's bar mitzvah.
"I haven't swam competitively since I was a student at University of Toronto and 'retired' from competitions. I never thought I would do it again. I've kept up swimming, but not competitively," he said.
"The training wasn't easy at first. I had to dedicate myself, and work through a lot of aches and pains. I got rid of them, though, and I'm ready to go."
He is entering five events in Israel – freestyle and the 50-, 100-, 200- and 400-metre swims.
"I can't wait to get there. My wife and my son-in-law's parents are coming, and I have family in Israel, so there will be lots of people to cheer us on."
The next print edition of The CJN is Aug. 1.

I loved the Irish road signs, especially "Achtung! Drive on the left"!
One of our bed and breakfast hosts told us that Michael Jackson had died.
And of course, our right-hand-drive car, that brought us grief and stress and the best trip we've ever had!

Swim Alongside A Dolphin, Then Eat It [VIDEO]
Would you be able to swim with a playful dolphin then kill it to eat the meat?I know I wouldn't be able to kill such a docile and intelligent creature. Town officials in Taiji, Japan, however, have decided differently.
In five years, the people in Tajii plan to open a 'marine park' they might like to compare to Discovery Cove in Orlando, Fla. where tourists can swim with the dolphins, but this will be a vastly different experience.
Tajii serves as the annual slaughterhouse of thousands of cetaceans, as is documented in the Oscar-winning film The Cove. (Watch excerpts below.) But unlike Discovery Cove, the animals are slaughtered and eaten at the end of the day in the cafe.
Both dolphins and small whales are a source of tourism during dolphin hunting in the bay. As Phillip Hoare states in the Guardian newspaper, "The almost laughably perverse proposals of the Taiji town elders only go to show how tough it is to be a dolphin in the 21st century."
According to Outside Magazine, 1,277 dolphins were caught by fishermen in Tajii in 2012. In 2013 they will be licensed to catch 2,026.

What happened to the script download?
Thanks for this updated script. Had to install "manually" dependencies as I hadn't right GPG keys for some ppa's (dont know which)...
This helped me fix an issue I had with my ALC889A (Intel HDA) card in Maverick.
Thank you!
I am running Maverick 64 bit on a Macbook Pro 13 inches version 7,1
Importantly, I ran AlsaUpgrade-1.0.24-2.sh successfully.Code:sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name MacBookPro7,1
My purpose here was to see if the new version of Alsa 1.0.24 would include a fix for enabling the microphone integrated in the iPhone headset. The hardware supports it, as it works fine on Mac OS X, but it would be great if it would also work with my favorite distribution.
I have the following in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
Any how, I did get a benefit with the upgrade: the sensitivity of the case integrated microphone got much better. Perhaps I can use it as a workaround, but it also catches all the ambient noise, and it might not be optimal for Skype calls :-)Code:options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55
Also, I noticed that suspend to RAM would hang the system after the upgrade.
Seemed to have solved the problem. Perhaps there was a left over Alsa kernel module on the old initrd ...Code:sudo update-initramfs -u

- Premier League
Rooney: The title is not won yet
Wayne Rooney insists talk that Manchester United have the Premier League title won is premature.
Rooney, who scored for England in their 2-1 win over Brazil midweek, points to the example of Manchester City's goalless draw against bottom-placed QPR as motivation for United to continue picking up maximum points.
"Results are the most important thing now," Rooney said. "Look at Manchester City against QPR. They should have got the win, had a lot of chances but ended up dropping two points.
"That could quite easily have happened to us against Southampton the following night. It proves we have to keep picking up the points when we can.
"Once it comes down to the last four or five games, then we will see what position we are in and work out what we have to do."
United head into Sunday's clash with Everton at Old Trafford nine points clear of City at the top of the table. Rooney, though, has called on his team-mates to be more ruthless in their remaining matches.
"I can't put my finger on why we are not killing teams off," said Rooney. "We have scored plenty of goals. It is the most number we have scored at this stage of the season.
"We have conceded too many and have done throughout the season, but that is the way we have been set up to play. We have to just keep our scoring going."

Civil War Monthly Featured Document return to document overview
Rappahannock Station Va. Sept. 6th
Dear Parents
I shall write but
and I am in hope that they will send the
rest along. I have just been reading the
Presidents letter to the Springfield Convention
and like it very much. I dont see how any
Union man can find fault with it,
his words are so very simple and common
the no one can mistake their meaning
yet every one is to the point. It is generally
true of Politicians, I believe, that the letters they
have written have been their ruin, in
striving to please one part of their party
they have mortally offended another, such
is not the case with Mr Lincoln. I
believe that this last letter of his will make
him thousands of friends for he speaks
not of party and party platforms but
Union and the Constitution and how
they may best be restored.
During the
confidence in what such men I dont
believe that Lee's Army is so badly
demoralized as they tell about, probably the
next two months will show
Do you remember
Come to think
some experience in a soldier's life, have
seen some of its fatigues and hardships
during that time I have been unusualy
fortunate, having seen hardly a sick
day, have not experienced a pain or an
ache worth mentioning. I cant always
expect to be as fortunate as this. I hope
that a year more may see us all at
home again, if the Fall Campaign
is as successful as the Summer has
been I think it will. It will be a
happy day for us all when we meet
again and no one is more anxious
for it to come quickly than myself but
I want to see the war settled as it should
be first then I can be contentet

Measures in favour of women fitted with PIP implants
The French health authorities recently decided that the national health insurance system would cover the cost of removing all PIP breast implants (for cases of reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery) and fitting new implants for cases of post-cancer breast reconstruction.
On 2
December 2011, following the publication of recommendations by AFSSAPS (French Health Products Safety Agency), the official representative, chief physician for public health at the Office of Health and Social Affairs in Monaco, sent a letter to the Director of the Princess Grace Hospital asking him to inform the practitioners in his establishment.
As far as the Princess Grace Hospital is concerned, 90 patients have been fitted with the implants in question since 2001. All the women have already been contacted personally by mail and seventeen of them have already been treated.
The Government of Monaco, in accordance with the Monegasque Social Security Office, has decided that the health insurance system will cover the following costs (for both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery) for all patients paying social security contributions in Monaco and fitted with implants from the Poly Implant Prothèse company:
- medical and surgical costs relating to the explantation (ultrasound scans, tests, removal of the implant, post-operative check-ups);
- expenses concerning the replantation of a new implant;
based on the government-regulated rates in force.
On the one hand, the women concerned are already suffering from serious psychological trauma, which justifies the cost of the new implant being covered in all cases. On the other hand, the cost of these measures is limited due to the small number of patients in this situation.
Consequently, women concerned by these measures are being asked to contact, depending on their social security system, either the Medical Inspection Services for the "Caisses Sociales de Monaco" (93.15.43.01) or the State Medical Services (Prestations Médicales de l'Etat) (188.8.131.52).

I think I don't like this.

Isn't Alonso on the DL? ie. can't be traded?
Alonso who?
I mean, I know it can't be Yonder; that wouldn't make any sense.
I'm going to go play in traffic before I go to work.
theres also rumors that austin jackson is who we got for jhj, we know theres no way thats true so I would hold on for more info before melting down about alonso, it may not be accurate.
No way. That's just a Toronto blogger's wishful thinking.
I have a love-hate relationship with Albert Pujols. Mostly hate.
I didn't think we could even name Alonso in a trade, yet. Hoping this is extremely false, or not the complete deal.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Oh how foolish.

Man United front-runners for Zaha signature
Manchester United feel they have moved ahead in the race for Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha and are fully confident of signing the forward in the summer, ESPN has learned.
Zaha's future has been the subject of great speculation lately, with United, Arsenal and - to a lesser extent - Tottenham chasing the widely admired prospect.
Although Arsenal have long been seen as favourites to eventually secure Zaha's signature, the player is understood to have had his head turned by United and, particularly, the current position in the table of the two clubs.
The Old Trafford side, meanwhile, have further leveraged the situation with some canny negotiating. A key in any transfer is that United are apparently more willing to let Zaha stay at Selhurst Park until the summer in order to help Palace secure promotion. By contrast, Arsenal have a greater need to reinforce immediately.
The situation tallies with the latest comments from Palace chairman Steve Parish on TalkSport, who said Zaha will stay at the club until the summer.
"Right now, we're concentrating on trying to get out of this league and the best way of doing that is adding to what we've got, not losing players," Parish said. "I think he will be a Palace player until the summer and then we will look at it. Obviously, we will look at anything that anybody offers us because we would be mad not to.
"If we feel we can move the club forward from doing certain things, then we will. So, never say never. But, right now, we are focused on trying to keep everyone in the squad."
Should the transfer happen, an Old Trafford source said it will finally end Nani's career at the club. Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with the Portuguese has reached a low after a series of disagreements in the last year, and United have been open to offers - but only in the event they can bring in sufficient cover.
Had Lucas Moura signed last August, rather than go to Paris Saint-Germain, it would have seen Nani leave. Instead, the Brazilian's transfer may indirectly lead to Zaha coming to the club this summer.

For a little more detail: Most of the people that I know are extremely unadventurous when it comes to food-meat and potatoes, and it is always the same caterer with the same food at every single wedding. I, on the other hand, consider myself to be a bit of a foodie and I adore Thai food! There is a fabulous Thai restaurant in my hometown that I would love to cater my dream wedding someday, though from what I have read, they have limited catering services.
Our nieces each did something similar at their wedding receptions. They are Persian-American and wanted food from both cultures. They hired a specifically Persian caterer and a regular one. The food was served buffet style (2 long buffet tables, both with the same mix of Persian & American food made for fairly fast moving lines), and there was tons of it.

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year--so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know.—The Mgmt.
Tips and tricks for making the best sandwiches at home.
I spent a good portion of my childhood fearing gorgonzola cheese, probably the result of watching one too many cartoons in which the characters encounter it while wearing gas masks. Now that I'm older and wiser, I know there's no cheese too stinky or runny to love. If you feel the same way, you'll love this portobello mushroom sandwich ($8.00) from Grounded. It features perfectly meaty grilled mushrooms on a crusty, powdery ciabatta. The creamy gorgonzola is sharp enough, but doesn't dominate the intense flavor of the mushrooms. There's some arugula thrown on for freshness, and it adds a nice spice to the whole enterprise.

Have you heard the scorching on-the-set rant by Christian Bale, who was clearly furious at Shane Hurlbut, the director of photography for "Terminator Salvation"? Clearly, somebody in the film's audio department decided that the famously severe actor's tantrum should be heard by the world … which is why it landed at TMZ. The incident was reported months ago but the audio has finally made it out to the internet.
And … wow, he was mad.
You can hear it right here but, please, don't go there if you are offended by coarse language or if you are a big fan of Bale and don't want your affections shaken.
Why the vicious tantrum? Essentially, Hurlbut (who worked with "Terminator Salvation" director McG on "We Are Marshall") walked across Bale's sight-line during a scene. That's a huge no-no and anybody with Hurlbut's two decades of experience on movie sets is well aware of that.
"If you do it one more time I ain't walking on this set if you're still hired!" Bale barks at Hurlbut at one point during the three-minute snippet (the besieged cinematographer can't be heard well during the barrage — clearly the audio is all from a microphone that is on or near Bale).
I'm not sure anyone in Hollywood will be surprised by the eruption, except perhaps by its duration. Bale is known as a serious actor and a serious guy (did you see what he did to himself for "The Machinist"?) and his temper has been an issue before, at least if you believe his mother and sister and their account of his behavior last year. (I've never met the guy; I have talked to him on the phone but it was a brief interview and not very revealing, but I'm a big fan of his work, especially in "Harsh Times," "The Prestige" and "3:10 to Yuma.")
There's a lot of pressure in making a major blockbuster and any project as dark and intense as "Salvation" can take the cast into some pretty edgy places. Still, it's hard to listen to this rant and think of the guy as a healthy, mature adult. The bottom line? Bale certainly won't win any friends in the industry by savagely insulting a professional in front of a crowd. But, sadly, it's just as certain that as long as Bale remains the famous face on all the movie posters, people will put up with the abuse.

Democrat Heidi Heitkamp spent much of her 2012 Senate campaign trying to distinguish herself from national figures in her party like President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Democrat Heidi Heitkamp spent much of her 2012 Senate campaign trying to distinguish herself from national figures in her party like President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Now that she is a U.S. Senator, she faces the same challenge.
As Heitkamp approaches the end of her first year as a senator, she has tried to keep a delicate balance, weighing the views of her generally conservative North Dakota constituents and the policy priorities of national Democrats. In some cases, like guns, that's meant bucking her party outright. On others, such as health care, it's meant being critical — but measured — in her approach to an issue that Republicans have focused on in her home state.
Just before she returned to North Dakota for Congress' Thanksgiving break, Heitkamp was once again put on the spot by national Democrats. Reid led a maneuver that changed a century's worth of Senate procedures, and will now allow all presidential appointments and all court appointments other than Supreme Court appointments to move forward with a simple majority vote.
Heitkamp voted for the change. In an interview, she said it was consistent with her promise to North Dakotans that she would be independent-minded and focused on getting things done in the Senate. She said the Senate was becoming gridlocked.
"If we had the same problem, and the Senate majority was Republican, I'd have voted exactly the same way," Heitkamp said.
"This is about fixing problems," she added.
Republicans did not see it that way. Her GOP colleague, Sen. John Hoeven, said the move would poison hopes of bipartisan work in the Senate.
"They're doing something with all Democratic votes, and if there's one thing Obamacare has shown it's that that doesn't work," Hoeven said.
And the state GOP rapped Heitkamp for rolling back "225-year-old Senate rules," changing the checks and balances that Founding Fathers had intended and, worst of all, weakening North Dakota's clout.
"The Senate was designed to protect the American people from the tyranny of the majority and ensure that the voices of small states — like North Dakota — are heard," said Robert Harms, the state Republican chairman. "This is nothing more than an unconstitutional power grab by a Democratic majority desperate to deflect attention away from the damaging impacts of Obamacare."
Heitkamp has endured regular Republican criticism since being elected. Though she's not up for re-election until 2018 — a lifetime in politics — Heitkamp is among a group of Democrats holding seats in traditionally Republican states that have faced new pressures as criticism of the Affordable Care Act has risen and approval of President Barack Obama and his signature health care law have dropped precipitously.
Those pressures aren't likely to ease, either. More hearings are scheduled on the Affordable Care Act after Congress returns from its Thanksgiving break, and a highly partisan environment is likely to continue and hang over key votes through midterm elections next year.
On health care in particular, Heitkamp has mixed support for the law with sometimes scathing criticism.
"I'd love to see some things in there rolled back," she said. "The experience we're having right now adds to that list."
Heitkamp says she is aghast at the problems with the healthcare.gov website but expects them to be fixed. As for other issues, she says her policy all along has been that the sweeping law would need changes and that she would call for them as she saw them.
"There's good and bad in the law, and the bad needs to be fixed," she said. "Right now, we're seeing a whole lot of issues that needed to be addressed."
Harms and other Republicans both locally and nationally have said Heitkamp's approach is not good enough. They've called for a full repeal of the health care law and said that she is acting as a rubber stamp for Obama and Reid.
Such criticisms are hardly new.
During her 2012 race against GOP Senate candidate Rick Berg, Heitkamp faced a barrage of ads linking her with Obama, Reid and others making similar claims. Some TV ads superimposed her picture in frames with Obama and Reid, others noted her backing by the traditionally Democratic trial lawyers and sought to strip away the idea that she was independent-minded.
Republicans have continued the criticism even after Heitkamp defeated Berg. Since taking her seat, Heitkamp has also faced criticism from the left, particularly when she parted ways with her party as it sought to make changes to gun laws in the aftermath of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Gun control groups, including one backed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, ran print and TV ads targeting her.
Heitkamp chastised Bloomberg for the ad, saying a big-city mayor could hardly appreciate North Dakota's gun culture. And she said she won't hesitate to buck her party in the future.
"If being part of fixing the problem puts something at risk for me, I guess that's the way the way it is," she said.

God's Landing PlaceMarcus Sanders
"But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it." (1Cor. 10:13NLT)
I remember how important it was to have in my Math textbook examples to find the solution for "x". The same is true in life; most of the answers to our problems can be solved if we follow the examples found in the Bible. Paul says to the Corinthian Church that the story of Israel's wilderness journey towards the Promise Land gives example and instructions for us that we might not desire evil as they did. In verses 7-10, Paul lists several examples of those who walked into temptation. They were moved by desire, cravings and attitudes towards serving themselves and grabbing for things that did not belong in their life. The last example was that their grumbling brought destruction by the Destroyer, (possibly from the Angel who brought God's judgment on the Egyptians). Then Paul says, "Now these happened to them as an example, but they were written down forour instruction."
God has such a high hope for us. Without the examples to instruct us to solve "x", we would most certainly walk on the same land mines. I believe following God without these biblical examples or instructions can be like crossing a busy street blindfolded. God wants us to win, and the examples in the Bible gives a greater insight to what pleases Him.Temptation is not sin. The world lays wide open before us. Even with the laws of the land, there are many things that are accessible to us. Idolatry is accessible; immorality is accessible until you get caught and grumbling has no jail time. Many temptations are accessible without breaking man's laws. Though there are many accessible portals - not all is profitable not all builds up, and not all lead to eternal life. What is permissible may not always please God. God wants me to win and he has a plan. His plan is to win over my selfish desires. He has alanding placefor me so that when temptations come I can walk with Him through it. It's not a place of running away from, but a place to walk to God and not give in to sin. Temptation could be an urge to fly off the handle. How many times I wanted to tell someone what I think, or vocally communicate to a turtle on the freeway. Selfish attitudes and grumbling are the temptations that bring me close to be destroyed by the destroyer,(the Devil).When I choose to solve "x" God's way I confront temptation on God's landing place and walk with Him.
Father, thank you for sending Your Holy Spirit through Christ to instruct me through the Bible to live a life pleasing to You. Holy Spirit, You have made me alive to be the man of God who will declare Your praises. Continue Your sanctifying work within me that I may become more and more like Jesus. Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I and instruct me to Your landing place in life's difficulties. In Jesus Name.

Release Notes: The PHP Web interface supports live links for keywords, authors, and periodicals which are displayed as "tag clouds". Automatic format detection from local files is done, and has a type-sensitive form for editing data. RefDB implements all SRU operations (explain, searchRetrieve, scan) with MODS output, and conforms to CQL Level 2. Namespaced XML output allows processing of schema-based TEI P5 and DocBook V.5.0 documents. Raw bibliographies were added. Searching for and styling of less-common fields was improved.
Release Notes: A problem was fixed with the addref/updateref command, which would occasionally report an error although the command in fact succeeded. A possible segfault in the checkref command was fixed too. Bibliographies now accept references without any titles.
Release Notes: The new checkref command provides an analysis of new data and allows you to identify duplicate references as well as spelling variants or synonyms of keywords, author names, and periodicals. Each user can now create an unlimited number of personal reference lists. Support for citation-key based citation styles was added. RefDB can now color and size keywords, periodicals, and author names in the (X)HTML output according to their frequency (similar to tag clouds). A new maintenance mode of refdbd now simplifies upgrading RefDB. All get* commands support a limit:offset syntax.
Release Notes: This release adds a script for the initial setup of a RefDB installation. There are numerous fixes in the bibliography support, the data import and export, and the character encoding support, as well as several other assorted bugfixes.
Release Notes: The client-server protocol was rewritten to improve error reporting and recovery. The server now supports sqlite3 as a database engine, support for MySQL 4.0 and later was improved, and support for character encodings was enhanced. References can now contain multiple links to URLs, and extended notes can be marked public or private. Bibliographies can now render titles in place of missing authors. All manuals and DTD descriptions are now shipped with the sources. An interactive tool to create bibliography styles and two scripts to backup and restore databases were added.
Release Notes: The bibliography formatting capabilities were overhauled thoroughly. Support was added for YMD style dates and titles formatted with initial caps. Bibliography styles now allow you to specify indenting and font sizes. The bibliography tool now reports a list of the IDs or citation keys of missing works. The query language was extended with a ":TA:" pseudo target which searches in the titles in all bibliographic levels. The configuration of the XML toolchain is now simpler, as it supports XML catalogs. A serious bug in the refdbxp tool was fixed.
Release Notes: Extended notes can be linked to any number of references, keywords, author or periodical names. References can be retrieved by their attached notes and vice versa. The application server now performs character encoding conversions for data import and export. The query language now offers a choice between literal matches and regexp matches for string comparisons.
Release Notes: Import and export of a RIS-compatible XML file format was added. Handling of citation keys was improved. Processing XML documents no longer requires Jade. A manual keyword scan was added. Several bugs in the bibliography code and a bunch of platform issues on OSX were fixed. A new Perl module to write custom clients was added.
Release Notes: This version supports a zero-administration embedded SQL engine with a platform-independent file format as an alternative to MySQL or PostgreSQL. The MARC and Pubmed import filters were improved, the installation was further simplified, and the Makefile-based document management was further enhanced. A boatload of bugs was fixed. A "refdb-starterkit" containing the RefDB sources as well as the sources of all required libraries and Perl modules is available too.
Release Notes: This release fixes a couple of bugs related to XML bibliographies and to Postgres support, and it removes some incompatibilities with Solaris. A new Makefile generator creates customized Makefiles for new documents and allows to process your documents (e.g. "make pdf" to create a PDF version). A new Perl script allows the import of Pubmed XML data. There is also a new beginner's tutorial with a boatload of examples of how to search, add references, and create bibliographies.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (MarketWatch) — If ever there was evidence that corporate governance saves lives it's in South Africa.
Last month, 44 people were killed during violent unrest at Lonmin Plc's (LMI) Marikana mine — the worst spate of violence since apartheid ended nearly 20 years ago. Work stoppages and strikes at Gold Fields Ltd. GFI, +0.00% and Anglo America Platinum Ltd. AGPPY have followed. National strikes are threatened. The rand is down along with investor confidence.
All this could have been avoided.
The larger unrest follows workers' revolts over low pay and poor working conditions. Had mining companies — one of the largest contributors to South Africa's gross domestic product — embraced the tenets of ESG (environment, social and corporate governance), lives and profits could have been saved.
When companies do good and foster social impact, their relationships with their workers improve and productivity increases. Of course this leads to increased revenue. Yet rather than adhering to these principles, members of the mining sector have bucked. They are ignoring warnings by workers of further actions, possibly violent, and they have suspended operations. In some cases they aren't publicly admitting that there are, in fact, strikes at their operations.
The government isn't helping matters. President Jacob Zuma said the government will crack down on trouble makers — a veiled threat if there ever was one.
South Africa is the world's largest producer of platinum. Spot prices have risen to five-month highs because of shutdowns, crimping supplies.
In any event, South Africa's troubles are an indictment of the mining sector as a whole. Already the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is acting out against companies that engage in manufacturing conflict minerals or energy through a new ruling aimed at increasing transparency and therefore raising corporate governance standards. Read my earlier column on conflict minerals.
Investors should be following this closely. If a company doesn't produce corporate social responsibility reports as part of its general corporate reporting that should raise a red flag. If a company doesn't belong to the United Nations's Global Compact, which requires signatories to abide by corporate social responsibility principles, that should also be a warning sign to investors.
Or if a company isn't part of the Global Reporting Initiative, which mandates sustainable reporting guidelines, then more scrutiny is warranted. All in all, hard looks at how much workers are getting paid and in what types of conditions they labor need to be examined just as closely as balance sheet items and earnings projections.
Risk profiles balloon when social responsibility isn't part of a company's make up.
Watch out for companies like these. They may burst and lead to other troubles, not to mention lower share prices.
South Africa is teetering on a worker revolution. It needs to calm relations and raise labor standards, which means living standards. Let's hope it doesn't set things back two decades. By following better governance principles, South Africa can move forward in a more positive direction.

FIRE UPDATE, JULY 31: Aspen Fire grows to 14,332 acres, is 35 percent contained
The Aspen Fire burning on the west side of the Sierra crest about 40 miles west of Bishop and slightly south of Mammoth only grew a few hundred acres yesterday and is now is at 14,332 acres, according to a Wednesday morning (July 31) update from the Sierra National Forest.
The fire is now 35 percent contained (there is a fire line around 35 percent of the fire).
The fire continues to pour heavy smoke into Mammoth, a situation unlikely to change in the near future, according to the National Weather Service, as the prevailing winds for the next few days are predicted to blow from the west and south, bringing the smoke over Mammoth Pass and into Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra.
There are now about 1,792 firefighters assigned to fight the fire. which is burning in steep, heavy timber about seven miles north of the community of Big Creek on the west side of the Sierra crest.
Three structures are threatened, but no lives have been lost. The fire has now cost $10.6 million to fight.
Here is the latest update from the Sierra National Forest, posted at 7 a.m. on July 31:
"The fire is located within the Sierra National Forest in Fresno County and is approximately seven miles North of Big Creek. It is currently burning off Stump Springs Road, North of Aspen Springs. The South Central Sierra Interagency Incident Management Team is in command of the Aspen Fire.
"Over the past several days, the inversion layer has caused smoke to accumulate in the low laying areas of the fire which hampers visibility of firefighters on the ground and in the air. As the smoke clears in the early afternoon, a more defined smoke column(s) may be seen from several miles away. As the evening progresses, the inversion returns causing the smoke to return into the lower levels.
"Recreation and businesses remain open in the Shaver Lake, Huntington Lake, Lake Thomas Edison, Florence Lake and the Mono Hot Springs areas.
"Firefighter and public safety remains the highest priority. Fire crews are being sensitive to environmental and cultural resources in and around the fire area.
"Last night, infrared images showed increased growth along the northern, eastern and southeastern perimeter of the fire. Fire crews made good progress with indirect attack operations.
"Due to the extremely steep, rugged and inaccessible terrain, fire crews are using a tactic called indirect attack which creates control lines away from the fires active edge. Air resources, including several helicopters and air tankers are being utilized along the fire-line to slow the forward progress of the fire and to cool down hot spots. As the situation changes and firefighters can safely gain access to the fire, a more direct attack will be implemented.
"Smoke from the Aspen Fire continues to impact air quality in local communities. Individuals sensitive to smoke are advised to remain indoors and keep windows closed to minimize exposure to smoke. For more information regarding smoke visit: www.valleyair.org
Road and Trail Closures
Stump Springs Road is closed to all traffic due to fire suppression activity. Minarets Road (4S81) from Fish Creek to Jackass Rock Organization Campground, Grizzly at Beasore Road to Minarets Road are closed to the public. Residents within the road closure are allowed into the area with valid identification.
Per the U.S. Forest Service Closure Order Number 15-13-09, all trails within the Kaiser Wilderness are closed.
Campground closures within the Sierra National Forest are as follows:
Sample Meadow West Kaiser
Jackass Rock Organization Lower Chiquito
Little Jackass Soda Springs

WFL - Retaining every player on the Ararat Football Club list is the immediate focus of new senior coaches Andrew Louder and David Hosking.
Rats' president Paul Cocking and a special panel appointed the joint coaches on Friday night after receiving four applications for the top job.
"We are really happy with the decision and happy to have Scruff (Louder) and Hock on board for the 2013 season," Cocking said.
"The two (applications) from outside the club were more about money than anything else, they were injured players. The other applicant was from in town and it was a very hard decision, very hard to separate them."
For the past two years Louder has been in charge of Ararat's reserves' team, with Hosking his assistant and during that time the pair have formed a strong working partnership.
"He and I share similar ideas, we played together at Taty and we both sort of think we've got a young list and they need to be persevered with and shown a lot of patience," Hosking said.
"It has become obvious to us to coach is a big job at Wimmera League level and it is too much for just one person.
"What we plan to do is have a number of coaches to carry the load. If Scruffy can't make training because of work commitments then hopefully I can or the reserves coach can or the line coaches, it is the old 'many hands make light work'."
The focus for Louder and Hosking is to now recruit a number of players to add depth to the senior list.
Louder said he wants to instil confidence in his charges and build a positive culture at the club.
"Everybody has got a little job to play. It is kind of like a kitchen, the cook is only as good as the people working around him," he said.
"We hope to start pre-season training mid-November and do four or five weeks before Christmas, which we will have a program mapped out by a running coach.
"Over the Christmas period we will give them an off-season program for them to do by themselves, so that when they come back they haven't wasted those first initial four or five weeks. We want to come back and take off from the same spot and build from there mid-January."
One of the main focuses over the pre-season will be forming a game plan that can be implemented across all grades by the time the new season begins.
Hosking said it won't just be he and Louder who come up with the new style, but a number of football brains at the Rats.
"We will have a clearly defined game plan that people will have to learn," he said.
"So (pre-season) sessions will consist of running, skill work and whiteboard sessions. There is going to be a lot of time where blokes are sitting in the back room getting explained to them the game plan and where we want them to run."
Louder added, "If we implement that early enough and there are any chinks we can iron them out between the playing group and coaching panel as we get in.
"You've got to give them six to eight weeks working on the one thing, we can't just lump it on the players two weeks before the season starts."
The joint coaches believe their role as senior coach is not just about football, but also teaching the players values and creating a fun environment.
Hosking said the great thing about football is that it teaches players how to be a part of a team, how to work hard and a number of other important values that can be learnt from team sport.
"I reckon it will be good to see a young bloke doing something and the look on his face when he realises 'I can do this'," he said.
"Hopefully the team will pull a win or something they didn't expect out of the fire through doing what we've implemented and the self-belief and confidence they will gain. I just want to see young men improve, not just as footballers."
Louder said regardless of what happens on the field next season the pair will remain strong and positive.
"Our young kids here haven't finished reaching their potential, they've got years to go and that is what we are about teaching them, along with the life skills like Hock said," he said.
"We are both really looking forward to the challenge and just seeing if what we believe in we can actually achieve for the players and the club."

The Blue Devils defeated defending champion Christian Brothers Academy-Syracuse on Friday
CORTLAND — The Victor girls lacrosse team showed they aren't afraid of playing on a big stage or facing big-time competition. The Blue Devils dominated defending state champion Christian Brothers Academy-Syracuse in the semifinals, earning an 11-1 win at SUNY Cortland on Friday.
The win gives Victor the opportunity to play for the state Class B Championship on Saturday.
"It feels insane," Blue Devils senior defender Jill Bailey said. "We've been working so hard for this and we believed in our hearts the entire time that we could do this. Our confidence has brought us here."
It was Victor's first appearance in the state final four. On the other side of the field, CBA of Section 3 won Class B in 2013, Class C in 2011, and made the final four in 2012.
Blue Devils coach Jamie Smith said the team held parties to watch film of the Brothers during the week and studied more film in their hotel room Thursday night.
"We never in a million years would've thought it'd be one goal for CBA and have a shutout in the second half," Smith said. "Liz Nussbaum saved our tail a lot of times. We just talked about playing as a unit, supporting one another and communicating."
Nussbaum played a sensational game between the pipes, finishing with 12 saves for Victor. A number of them came from point-blank range.
The Blue Devils didn't have any trouble scoring goals. Hannah Savage led the way with two goals and three assists, Megan Maloney added two goals and two assists, Aly Fries scored three times, Bridget Flynn scored twice, and Kaci Messier and Sarah Kopp both scored once.
Victor built a 4-0 lead before CBA took a timeout. Emily Ehle scored the Brothers' lone goal from the free position with 14 seconds remaining in the first half. The combination of the Blue Devils' strong team defense and Nussbaum's quick reflexes frustrated their opponent, as Victor led 5-1 at the break.
"It's just so intense to be able to play on this field at this time," Nussbaum said. "We've never had an opportunity like this as a program. So, I think all of us were just insanely pumped for this game from way back in sectionals."
The Blue Devils continued to dominate in the second half to end the Brothers' chance at defending their title.
Victor (19-2) faces Section 8's Manhasset (18-1) in the state championship game at 9:30 a.m. Saturday back at Cortland. The Indians defeated Section 2's Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake 9-3 in the other semifinal game.
Smith said her team will watch film on their opponent when they get back to their hotel room tonight.
"We know they're top ranked in the state," the second-year coach said. "We're here and we're ready to show what Victor is about."

we need to find the sides by using simple theorems like the lengths of two tangents from an external point to a circle are equal.
I used that but was not able to get the full length of AB and AC..
I am having maths exam tomorrow, pls help soon.

hi niharika_kumar
Hope this is in time to be helpful. My method is convoluted but it will help you revise lots of techniques so that may be useful. Diagram below.
AG, BG and CG are the angle bisectors and GD is perpendicular to BC.
As you know BD and GD you can work out the sin and cos of angle GBD.
then use sin2x = 2sinxcosx to get the sine of angle B
Similarly you can get sin C.
As the angles of the triangle add to 180
sin A = sin (B+C) = sinBcosC + sinCcosB .
So you can use the sine rule to get AB and AC.
I would leave the square roots in the expressions in the hope they'll cancel out at some stage.
If I think of a quicker method, I'll post it.
Good luck with the exams.

thnx for the wishes:)
but i am not able to really get the method:(

hi Niharika
How did the exams go? Are they all finished for now?
I did try to find a simpler method for this but without success. If you look at
you'll see that bobbym had a go at this using geogebra, and then with a formula.
I then posted a more detailed account of my method.
It uses some trig. angle formulas which you may not have met yet, which is why I tried to find another way. The formulas I've used are shown at
http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/trigo … ities.html
If you haven't met those yet, then I'm mystified as to how your teacher expected you to do this question.
Even if you have met them, it's still quite a long trail to get the result.
My starting point is to use the right angled triangle shown to get the angle GBD.

now I understand your method.
thanks for that
yes my exams are over now and it was good.(This question luckily didn't come )
I could solve all the questions in maths (just hoping that I have not committed any silly calculation mistake).
friendship is tan 90°.
my maths teacher solved it by dividing the figure into several triangles and using heron's formula.
friendship is tan 90°.
My maths teacher does that the same way. Besides, that is the method prescribed in Monica Capoor's book

|A relatively healthy, abundant grocery haul that cost less than $25
|Family Dollar Haul: Raisins, oats, almonds, lentils, navy beanbrown rice
Coincidentally, Melody and I purchased our items from Dollar Tree dollar stores. Realizing that not everyone actually has access to Dollar Tree stores – and wanting to prove a point about being able to eat healthier within a budget regardless of where you live – I decided to shop at another discount chain called Family Dollar. [Frugalistas take note, they occasionally offer coupons] Unlike Dollar Tree, prices vary in this store but they are generally cheaper than average – and I was surprised to find that many items were actually cheaper than at Dollar Tree. Canned veggies, for example, cost under $1, while other items, like oat and tortilla chips [my weakness, with salsa] cost a bit more than $1.
|Tomato sauce [Spoiler alert: SO good!], salsa, diced tomatoes, japapeños, Italian seasoning
|Yes you CAN eat better on a budget: Black beans x 2, corn, carrots, and 'shrooms (x2)
- Whether you shop at Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Whole Foods or online, you need to know your prices. Take note of the per pound or per unit price of items you usually buy. Empower yourself with knowledge.
- You may need to shop at several different stores to get the best price. This does not mean you need to run all over town to buy groceries. But try working various stores into your usual errand routes so save money and time.
- Buy in bulk, within reason. When you see a great deal, snag it. And store it, keeping in mind your own storage situation. We don't want to turn into hoarders, so buy only what you will use up in a few months.
- Some items purchased at discount stores taste as good as, or better than, those purchased at overpriced health food stores [Watch for specifics on upcoming posts. But – SPOILER ALERT, I am loving Family Dollar Tomato Sauce]
- Reading labels is more important than ever. As optimistic as this challenge may appear, finding healthy dollar store foods is like looking for a needle in a haystack [hence the name "challenge"]. More than 90% of the food in discount stores is just plain nasty. Frankenfoods. Read labels and don't put crap in your body, regardless of your budget. Everyone deserves whole foods.
Here's what I bought. Keep in mind, it's not Whole Foods, so try not to be too critical, understanding that not everyone has access to fancy-pants markets. I'll share how I use these items in some upcoming posts, in combination with fresh vegetables and pantry staples.
- 1 container Quick Oats
- 1 small box raisins
- 1 bag brown rice
- 1 bag slices almonds
- 1 bag dried lentils
- 1 bag dried navy beans
- 1 can Family Dollar tomato sauce
- 1 jar salsa
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 small container Italian seasoning
- 1 small can hot chiles [jalapeños]
- 2 cans black beans
- 1 can corn
- 1 can sliced carrots
- 2 small cans mushrooms
- 1 can sauerkraut
- 1 bag nachos
- 1 can spinach
- 1 bag gingersnaps
|I'm happier if I enjoy occasional treats like these in moderation.
Healthy? Not exactly. But they are vegan and made from whole foods.
What's your favorite, money-saving trick for healthy meals?

The fourth quarter of last Saturday's Hudson County Girls' Basketball Tournament championship was about to begin at Union City High School and Lincoln High School senior She'Kinah Suber was struggling.
Up to that point, Suber made just one-of-seven shots. The Lions, the two-time defending county champion, trailed Bayonne, by three points, 28-25.
Suber knew she was pressing, trying too hard to get her team that third straight county crown.
"For some reason, my mind wasn't in it," Suber said. "For the first three quarters, I didn't feel it. I don't know why. I mean, it was the county championship and all and I just didn't feel it."
Lincoln head coach Tommy Best knew that Suber was not having a good time of it.
"We knew we needed her to step it up," Best said. "Suber has been our section option all season [behind forward Kiante Johnson]. We knew that we couldn't win it without her."
So Best approached Suber before the fourth quarter began.
"I told her that this was the worst game I ever saw her play," Best said. "I told her that it was a big time for us."
"I had to shake it off," Suber said. "I knew I had to do this for my teammates and my coach. I couldn't let them down. The fourth quarter was a big quarter."
Suber found the inner strength to have a fourth quarter that legends are made of.
Suber scored 12 of her team's 21 points in the fourth quarter, including a clutch 3-point play with less than a minute remaining, leading the Lions to a 46-45 victory over the top-seeded Bees to capture their third straight Hudson County title.
Before the Lions won in 2012 to begin their current streak, Lincoln had not captured a county championship in 30 years. Now, the Lions have a "three-peat."
"I'm glad I'm going out with a championship," Suber said. "We had some shaky moments, but once we got the lead, I knew we would be able to close it out. We just had to keep up the intensity."
Jadela Gaston, who had nine points for the winners, hit two free throws with 29 seconds left that gave the Lions a 46-44 lead. Deserai Vasquez hit one free throw with five seconds left to cut the lead to a single point. The Bees had a chance to win the game in the final seconds, but Aneia Williams' shot rolled off the rim, much to the joy of the triumphant Lions.
"We didn't want it to end that way," Best said.
Williams paced all scorers with 16 points.
"There was a lot of pressure on us to make it three straight," said junior forward Johnson, who added 13 points, but only had two after halftime. "I think our team pulled together and we got what we wanted. This was the goal from the first day of practice. We wanted to make it three straight and we got it."
Best thought that the 6-foot-1inch Johnson could dominate in the game.
"I didn't think they could match up on her too well," Best said. "We wanted to get the ball to Kiante as much as we could."
It didn't come easy. Bayonne controlled the game in the early going, taking a 12-6 lead after the first quarter. Johnson had all six of the Lions' points. Best's team looked a little befuddled.
But the Lions came on strong in the second quarter, outscoring the Bees, 12-4, to take an 18-16 lead at the break.
The game went back and forth, the intensity never leaving. The two teams traded the lead as well several times.
Jesenia Montalvo hit a long 3-pointer that gave Bayonne a 28-25 lead with 53 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
The score remained that way going into the final period – and Best's last plea to Suber.
"She was having a rough night, but there still was time for her to lead us," Best said. "That's what she did. She came through for us."
And the Lions got that third straight county title. The Lions lost some key players to graduation, but still managed to stay on top.
"To win three years in a row is really unbelievable," Best said. "You go into the game with a chance to 'three-peat,' but you really don't think you can do it. We just wanted to have a chance to win in the end. If we had a chance to win it, then I thought we could do it."
As long as his senior leader Suber found herself – just in time.
"It really feels great to go out this way," said Suber, who played a major role in all three county championships. "I thought last year was the hardest one to get, because we had to repeat. I believed we could win this year. I really did."
Suber made sure that all the Lions believed, especially in the fateful fourth quarter. – Jim Hague
