I just got to work in my garden for the first time this year. I spread some compost and mulch and raked out old leaves and dead stalks. We already have peony sprouts, budding artemesia, tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and violets along with a few other things I don't know the names for.
I'm really amazed to see that about half of my herb garden made it through the winter. My oregeno, sage, savory, lavender, and parsley are all fine. Usually I have to plant everything again in the spring. The catnip will come back on it's own from seed, but it looks like all I'll have to buy are basil and dill. Cool.
I usually take my spring vacation the first week of April to put in the vegetable garden. I try not to plant anything that I know I won't eat, so I keep it small. I'm not sure what all I'll try this year.
Tomatoes and green and red peppers as usual. My husband did green beans last year and we got about one good batch from that. We also planted onions and garlic, but forgot to dig them up.
I did a strawberry patch for two years, but it was just too hard to keep it from being taken over by the fake poison strawberries. They were so good though while they lasted.
I've always wanted to do peas. I love fresh peas. Maybe that will be the wild card this year.

Review: Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick

Ohhh, I definitely want to read this now! I didn't hate Hush Hush, but I was really torn about it. I was kind of freaked at the super abusive relationship and I didn't really think about that...but YES. Hush Hush is totally anti-feminist. So I do want to try Black Ice! I've heard a lot of negatives about it so far, so it'll be a library read for me. Just in case. ;-)ReplyDelete
So glad you enjoyed this one! People either love it or hate it so I've been hesitant to really pick it up. I think do want to give it a try though. Thanks for the review :DReplyDelete

I just got this one at a discount. I didn't think Hush, Hush was that bad (although the main character was TSTL). I don't remember the writing being terrible, though, so I thought I'd give this one a try.ReplyDelete
I've read some iffy reviews on this one, so I'm not sure I'll pick it up - although you make a great point that sometimes you need a lighter read after a darker one, so maybe I'll feel like reading this book sometime! It's great to know that there is some good suspense in this one!ReplyDelete

What are Urinary Tract Infections?
A urinary tract infection (UTI) can occur anywhere in the urinary system: kidneys, bladder, and urethra. Infections are divided into "upper urinary tract infections", when the kidneys are infected, and "lower urinary tract infections", when the bladder and the urethra—the sac-like organ that stores the urine produced by the kidneys and the tube that channels urine from the bladder to the outside are infected. When the infection spreads from the lower urinary tract to the kidney, the infection is called "acute pyelonephritis". Protracted infections may become "complicated pyelonephritis†when specific damage to the kidney happens due to the infection. Lower infections are called "cystitis" or simply "bladder infections".
UTIs are more common in women for reasons that are not fully understood. One theory is that women have a short urethra (the tube carrying urine out of the bladder), which allows bacteria from the vaginal and rectal area to migrate up into the bladder. The same theory also suggests men rarely get bladder infections because they are protected by a longer urethra that extends through the length of the penis. (1) Normally, copious urine flow will wash out bacteria that have migrated into the bladder, but sometimes they continue to proliferate. Left untreated, the bacteria can travel still further up the ureters (tubes connecting the bladder with each of the 2 kidneys) and settle into the kidneys themselves. This produces the far more serious acute pyelonephritis. Once in the kidneys, the bacteria are usually picked up by the bloodstream and the infection spreads throughout the body producing a high fever, chills, and profound exhaustion. Acute pyelonephritis always requires antibiotic treatment.
Key Symptoms
Bladder or Lower UTI:
Acute Pyelonephritis or Upper UTI:
Symptoms are usually the same as lower UTI although pyelonephritis may begin without preceding symptoms of lower UTI. In addition there will be:
Pyelonephritis may become "complicated†when it progresses to abscess formation or damage to the actual kidney structure. This is a greater risk of complications among those with diabetes or urinary tract obstruction and when the bacteria are resistant to antibiotics.
In children, symptoms of a UTI may sometimes be overlooked or attributed to something else. If a child or infant has unexplained fever, incontinence or loose bowels, is not eating normally or seems irritable, a UTI should be considered and the child should be seen by a doctor.
What Causes Urinary Tract Infections?
The urinary tract is particularly vulnerable to attack by bacteria. Urine is sterile (germ free) when it's produced by the kidneys and enters the bladder; however, bacteria from the vaginal and rectal area can migrate up the urethra. Once bacteria are present in the bladder, they can affix themselves to the bladder wall, begin an inflammation, and start proliferating. Making the urine acidic and/or drinking large amounts of fluid to help flush out the bladder can make the environment less hospitable for bacterial growth and initiate a self-healing process. Risk factors for UTIs include:
Conventional Treatments
Young, healthy adolescents and adults with bladder infections are usually given antibiotics for 3-7 days. Although symptoms may begin to resolve within 24 hours, patients should take the full course of antibiotics to completely eliminate the infection. In addition to medication, some doctors recommend increasing fluid intake to help flush out the bacteria. However, other doctors disagree and recommend reducing fluid intake so as not to dilute the medication and make it less effective. No studies have been done to resolve this question.
The best treatment for kidney infections depends upon the individual's general health and severity of the infection. Mild infections may be treated with a 1-2 week course of oral antibiotics; while an infection with a high fever and severe pain may require hospitalization with intravenous antibiotics and fluids.
Women sometimes experience recurrent UTIs. In fact, four out of five women who have had three UTIs will have a recurrence in 18 months and are likely to continue having them. Women with frequent UTIs should consult their doctor about a treatment plan. They may need to take low doses of antibiotics for six months or longer at bedtime so the drug can remain in the bladder longer. Other options include taking antibiotics for 1-2 days when symptoms occur or taking a single dose of antibiotic after sexual intercourse. (4)
Antibiotics are used to treat urinary tract infections for a prescribed amount of time. The type of antibiotic and the length of treatment depend upon what type of bacteria is present. For routine uncomplicated UTIs drugs such as amoxicillin, ampicillin, and ciprofloxacin have been prescribed. Treatment duration may be as short as 2-3 days for a routine UTI, to several weeks and hospitalization for a severe kidney infection.
Tests and Procedures
In order to diagnose a UTI the doctor will request a "clean catch" urine sample. The patient washes the genital area and collects a "midstream" urine sample in a sterile container provided by the doctor. This method prevents bacteria that normally reside around the genital area from getting into the sample and distorting the results. The urine is examined with a urinalysis (UA) to look for red and white blood cells and for chemical changes associated with the presence of bacteria. A culture and sensitivity (C&S) test may be done to determine which strain of bacteria is causing the problem and the antibiotics that are most likely to be efficacious in eradicating it. This typically takes at least 48 hours while the bacteria grow in a culture medium. If more rapid identification of the bacteria is needed to make an appropriate choice of antibiotic, a gram stain may be done to identify the shape and staining properties of the bacteria when viewed under the microscope; however this is rarely available in the doctor's office.
If a UTI does not clear up with antibiotic treatment, other tests may be ordered. An ultrasound or CT Scan may be done to look for obstruction (e.g., dueto a kidney stone), and for abscess or other complications. A history of recurrent infection might also be evaluated with an intravenous pyelogram (IVP), in which dye is injected into the bloodstream (typically through a vein in the arm). The dye is then concentrated and excreted by the kidneys, permitting the structures of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to be visualized with an x-ray revealing changes in the structure of the tract that may predispose to infection. However, IVP is typically not done in the presence of acute infection. Another possible evaluation for recurrent infection is cystoscopy, which uses an instrument with several lenses and a light source that is introduced through the urethra to visualize the interior of the bladder.
Treatment and Prevention
An everyday urinary tract infection can easily bloom into a more dangerous kidney infection, so it's unwise to use natural therapies for more than 36 hours before getting a physician's advice. If tests confirm a UTI, the doctor will probably prescribe antibiotics.
Until that point is reached, though, there's no reason not to try self-treatment. And, should you need to see the doctor, the self-treatment remedies are all compatible with the antibiotics that will very likely be prescribed.
How Supplements Can Help
Cranberry keeps bacteria from clinging to the walls of the urinary tract and, like vitamin C, acidifies the urine (cranberry is rich in vitamin C). A 2009 Cochrane review supports the use of cranberry products in the prevention of UTIs in young and middle-aged women. Cranberry products are not recommended at this time for protection against UTIs due to the lack of consensus concerning dosage and formulation. (5)
Goldenseal and nettle teas can soothe inflamed tissues, and the extra liquid helps flush bacteria out of the urinary tract. Goldenseal contains berberine, an alkaloid that has been found to prevent adhesion of E. coli, the bacteria often responsible for UTIs. (3) Commission e is the German equivalent of the FDA for herbs: it has approved nettle for lower UTIs. (6)
A number of probiotics have been studied for their effectiveness against UTIs. One species of Lactobacillus had the strongest ability to block adhesion of bacteria to the urinary tract walls. Probiotics may also help to normalize the balance of bacteria in the bowel and vagina, so that they are less likely to cause infections. Small studies suggest oral probiotics may prevent UTIs in infants and children. (3)
The exact mechanism of the herb uva ursi is unknown, but this evergreen bush (also known as bearberry) contains substances that work well against UTI for some people. There are no studies confirming the effectiveness of uva ursi on UTIs. However, in one study, 57 women with chronic UTIs were given either a regimen of uva ursi and dandelion root or placebo. All of the women who were given the supplements experienced a lower occurrence of infection after one year compared to the placebo group. It's best to use uva ursi at the first sign of infection for short-term prevention. (3) Experts don't recommend taking uva ursi together with vitamin C and cranberry because they weaken its effect. They also suggest that this potent natural remedy be taken no more than five times a year by most people, and not at all by those who are pregnant or have kidney disease.
Vitamin A may be beneficial in preventing UTIs in children. In one small study of 24 children, vitamin A was combined with antimicrobial therapy. After one year, there were significantly fewer occurrences of UTIs in the vitamin A group than in the placebo group. (3)
Vitamin C--also known as ascorbic acid--serves a dual purpose in urinary tract infection treatment: It makes urine more acidic and therefore more hostile to bacteria, and it reinforces the body's immune system. In one study of 110 pregnant women, vitamin C in combination with ferrous sulfate and folic acid was shown to significantly reduce the incidence of UTIs. (3)
Self-Care Remedies
Use a home test, available in drugstores, to help determine whether your symptoms are from a UTI.
Drink a big glass of water once an hour or alternate with cranberry juice. Purchase the unsweetened form, then add a little honey or apple juice, if needed, to reduce its tartness. Don't buy cranberry "drinks," which are heavily sugared. All this fluid increases the flow of urine, which then washes harmful bacteria out of your system.
Relieve pain with over-the-counter painkillers and a heating pad or hot water bottle.
Don't "hold" it when you have to urinate.
Keep the genital and anal areas clean. Wipe from front to back after defecation.
Keep the genital and anal areas dry. Wear cotton underwear, which allows air to circulate; remove damp or wet clothing promptly after exercising or swimming.
Swab the genital area with cool goldenseal or nettle tea. These pleasant washes may help to prevent recurrences in women who are prone to bladder infections.
Avoid feminine hygiene sprays, scented douches, and bubble baths, which may irritate the urinary tract.
Urinate soon after intercourse.
Consider switching birth control methods. Spermicides containing nonoxynol-9 change the balance of bacteria in the vagina, allowing more dangerous ones to proliferate.
Alternative Therapies
Acupuncture may prevent recurrent cystitis. In a six-month study, 67 women with recurrent cystitis were divided into three groups and treated with acupuncture, sham acupuncture, or placebo. After six months, 85% of the acupuncture group was cystitis-free compared to 58% of the sham group and 36% of the placebo group. This suggests acupuncture may prevent chronic cystitis. (7)
Homeopathy treats individual patients according to the Principle of Similars paying particular attention to what is unique about the patient's collection of symptoms rather than using one-size-fits-all medicines combinations for the condition. This individualization of therapy makes randomized controlled trials difficult because people with the same diagnosis may need different medications. However, one early study found that the homeopathic medicine, Staphysagria, was significantly better than placebo in treating the symptoms of postcoital (honeymoon) cystitis. (8)

Evidence Based Rating Scale
The Evidence Based Rating Scale is a tool that helps consumers translate the findings of medical research studies and what our clinical advisors have found to be efficacious in their personal practice into a visual and easy to interpret format. This tool is meant to simplify the information on supplements and therapies that demonstrate promise in the treatment of certain conditions.
One small study indicates efficacy in preventing cystitis; more studies are needed. (7)
Favorable use but small inconsistent studies for prevention of UTIs in young and middle-aged women. (5)
The supplements we recommend for urinary tract infections at WholeHealthMD should be taken as soon as you notice the key symptom of an infection--burning during urination. At this point you should also be sure to drink plenty of water--at least one 8-ounce glass per hour. This helps flush out any harmful substances through increased urine flow.
If you don't notice any improvement in your symptoms within 24 to 36 hours of using the supplements, call your doctor, who can test you for an infection and, if necessary, prescribe antibiotics. You can continue taking the recommended supplements during the course of antibiotic treatment.
How to Take the Supplements
Begin by taking extra vitamin C, which acidifies the urine, and thereby helps to keep infectious bacteria in the urinary tract from flourishing.
Cranberry, another acidifier, also makes it harder for bacteria to stick to the lining of the urinary tract. Having capsules of concentrated cranberry is obviously a lot easier than carrying around a jug of the juice, but both work equally well. You can certainly alternate them or use both together. Just remember that most grocery store cranberry juice is simply a cranberry-flavored sugar drink, which won't be particularly effective. Instead you need to look in a health-food store for a straight cranberry juice (sweeten with a little honey or apple juice) or a cranberry-apple juice blend.
As an alternative to the vitamin C and cranberry, some people have found the herb uva ursi to be effective--though how it halts the infection isn't clear. Don't take this herb with vitamin C or cranberry, however, because the two acidifying supplements may cancel the uva ursi out. Also don't use uva ursi for longer than a week, or more than five times a year.
Also, herbal teas made from goldenseal, echinacea, and nettle can be very beneficial. Each of these herbs can be taken with the above supplements to enhance the immune system--and using them in a tea increases your fluid intake, helping to flush out bacteria.
If you're on antibiotics: If you do see your doctor and an infection is confirmed, you will probably be prescribed antibiotics to take. Since these drugs can kill off healthy bacteria along with those causing the infection, consider taking acidophilus while using antibiotics. The acidophilus helps restore a normal balance of healthy bacteria.
We at WholeHealthMD strongly recommend that everyone take a high-potency multivitamin/mineral and well-balanced antioxidant complex every day. It may be necessary to adjust the dosages outlined below to account for your own daily vitamin regimen. All of our supplement recommendations also assume you are eating a healthful diet.

Nicole, who was named Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 2008, has appeared on 'The Girls Next Door,' 'The Hills' and her then-boyfriend Brody Jenner's reality series, 'Bromance.' She also received some unwanted attention in the gossip press over a bizarre incident last summer, when she was roughed up at a nightclub by 'Girls Gone Wild' impresario Joe Francis. Nicole spoke to PopEater about clothes, guys, and the pressures of living her life on reality TV.
"Being on 'The Hills' was really stressful," says Nicole over the telephone from Los Angeles, with her longhair teacup chihuahua, Pumpkin, audible in the background.
On our new show, 'Bunny House,' they let you be your true personality and it's a lot more fun. 'The Hills' was a lot more drama, they were always trying to create drama and there was a lot more guidance on where you were supposed to go and what you were supposed to say," she said.
Nicole will share the screen with fellow-bunnies Crystal Harris, Hope Dworaczyk, Jamie Edmondson, Crustal McCahill and one aspiring Playmate, Claire Sinclair. She promises lots of bikini parties and of course, the bunnies' inimitable wardrobe.
"A Playmate's style is a very sexy look, of course, but it's also very classy and girly and kind of cutesie," Nicole says. " A jeans cut-off short with a bight-colored tank-top is something that I always do. I wear a ton of Bebe, Bebe is like my go-to for fun, summer white dresses and anything cute. And Marciano I wear a lot of, but my favorite store is Forever 21. I'm wearing it right now! You can get shorts, a top and shoes for like 20 bucks."
But life in front of the lens is not the non-stop party that it might appear to be. Even Nicole's much-publicized relationship with quintessential reality hunk Brody Jenner also had a down-side, she says.
"We're really good friends now--surprisingly enough," Nicole says with a giggle. "I definitely thought at the beginning that we would have turned out to be enemies. But we still keep in touch, and things are good."
So what was it like dating such a heart-throb?
"Looks are not everything, and he definitely is a sweetheart but it's a lot to take on to date someone like that," she says. "When someone's life has been on reality television for the majority of their life, it's a whole different type of relationship than you're used to [such as] dating a normal guy from your high school. It's a really big learning experience and it's not as fun and dreamy as people think it is."
Her current boyfriend, nightclub entrepreneur Jesse Waits, is slated to appear in the pilot--edits permitting--along with Pumpkin.
"Jesse is awesome, he's really sweet, and he treats me like a princess," she said over the phone. "In fact he's sitting next to me now."
Waits declined to speak with PopEater because, Nicole explained, "he's shy." Something tells us he might not know what he's getting into.
"The Girls Next Door: Bunny House" will premiere on E! August 8.

I can't help it. I can't hold it in! I have to show you the dress I'm reviewing for eShakti!
I ordered the "Ruffle Front Cotton Poplin Dress" (aka CL0020716) in Apple Green.
When I first laid eyes on this dress, I knew it was "the one". It comes in three colors: Lagoon, Black & Apple Green. I chose the green because I felt I had enough black dresses and wanted something fun.
This dress is perfect with sandals in the summer, or heels to dress it up. It would even look wonderful with a cardigan for a more casual look. I can't wait to get it!
A triple row of pleated ruffles from the shoulders to the wide V-neck embellishes a sleeveless poplin dress. The shaping is easy, with a sash tied waist and a full, pleated skirt.

Final Stats | Action Photos
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - All-WCC forward Miranda Ayim scored a season-high 29 points and Pepperdine pressured Santa Clara into 24 turnovers, beating the Broncos 83-67 Thursday night at the Leavey Center.
As they have done all season, Santa Clara (2-16; 0-3 WCC), came out playing well in the first half, leading 18-14 after the first 10 minutes. Lena Gipson made her first three baskets before picking up her second foul. Gipson would finish with her 10th double-double, scoring 11 points and clearing 10 rebounds, despite sitting out the majority of the first half.
Pepperdine (11-5; 2-0 WCC) - the league's top team in limiting its giveaways - committed just 12 turnovers while using a press defense to force SCU into 15 in the first half alone.
Ayim scored 12 of the Waves first 20 points. Pepperdine established a 27-21 lead with 5:29 left before halftime and that lead would not be challenged.
Santa Clara - the WCC leaders in 3-pointers per game - saw freshman guard Ashley Armstrong match a season-high by making three from long range. Armstrong led five Broncos in double-figure scoring, finishing with 13 points.
SCU was within nine early in the second half, trailing 43-34, before Pepperdine scored six-straight, to assume a 15-point lead, thanks to one of Shay Cooney-Williams' two 3s. The lead grew to 16 on a put-back by Ayim and her baseline trey put the game out of reach at 60-42 with just over nine minutes left.
The Waves can improve to 3-0 in league play if they can beat USF Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Broncos will try and rebound when they host LMU Saturday at 2 p.m.

BASF's Friedrich Englehorn building in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
Chemical company BASF will combine its water treatment, oilfield and mining solutions businesses to increase efficiency and support its growth strategies, according to a company announcement released Wednesday. The new global business, to become effective April 1, 2013, will be located in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
BASF offers products for industrial and municipal water treatment, products for the drilling and completion of oil wells, and mineral processing reagents for the mining industry. All three businesses include parts of the polyacrylamide (PAM) value chain. With the combination of these businesses, BASF said it is taking various steps to increase efficiency and operational excellence in its PAM operations. Significant investments are planned to upgrade the performance of existing production plants, create additional capacity, strengthen R&D efforts, and establish a new bio-acrylamide process for further cost optimization, BASF said.
As part of its worldwide operational improvement program for its water solutions business, the company said it expects to reduce its workforce by about 215 positions worldwide. Most of the planned job reductions will occur at the Bradford and Grimsby, UK sites.
"The planned comprehensive measures are needed to achieve cost competitiveness. These efforts will be backed by considerable investments in new technologies in Europe as well as in North America and in R&D," said Hans W. Reiners, President of BASF's Performance Chemicals division, in the announcement. The company said it expects to complete the planned measures by the end of 2015.
BASF's water solutions business in the future will fully concentrate on providing innovative chemical solutions to the water market, the company said. To this end, BASF is planning to divest its service-oriented industrial water management business, located in Lyon, France, to a strategic partner to further expand the business.

Coal is a non-renewable energy source used by half of the world's utility companies, including SaskPower. Federal regulations mandate that all new and end-of life coal units must emit no more than a new natural gas unit. With today's technology, that means either a retrofit with carbon capture and storage (CCS), or a complete shutdown.
We're investing in CCS technology and have already successfully converted part of the Boundary Dam Power Plant so it can reuse and store greenhouse gases, instead of releasing them into the atmosphere. It provides important information for us to be able to make a decision on our other coal units.
Burning coal creates power. A byproduct of burning coal is carbon dioxide.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology uses coal for power generation and makes less of an impact on the environment by storing the emissions.
Coal with CCS technology is an incredibly reliable source of power.
This technology is moderately costly to develop and run.
We're able to capture and store CO2 emissions before they reach the atmosphere. This helps reduce the harmful impact to the environment.
Our Boundary Dam Unit 3 is the world's first CCS unit of its kind. It captures carbon dioxide, so it's not released into the atmosphere.
Discussions are underway to decide if we should continue with this technology and retrofit the remaining coal-fired units or not. A decision will be made in the next few years.
Fly AshOne of the by-products of burning coal is fly ash, which is a fine ash that can be sold and used in ready-mix concrete, mine backfill, oil well cementing, road base stabilization and liquid waste stabilization.
Call 1-800-667-8022 or contact us online for details about how to buy fly ash.

SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University senior offensive tackle Brandon Bennett (6'2", 290 lbs, San Marcos, CA/La Costa Canyon HS) has been named to the AFCA Division III Coaches All-America Team for the second consecutive season. Bennett was one of five offensive lineman included on the team. A total of 25 players were selected overall.
Bennett was chosen for the AFCA Division III Coaches All-America Team for the first time in 2006. He was one of just three players to repeat as selections on this years All-America Team.
He also was named First Team All-West Region by D3Football.com for the 2007 season. He was selected Second Team All-West Region by D3Football.com in 2006 and was Third Team All-West Region in 2005.
I just think hes a rare blend of strength and fitness that makes him a great player, Willamette Head Coach Mark Speckman said. When you combine that with his intelligence and experience, it makes him one of the best linemen weve had since Ive been here.
Willamette also placed two players on the D3Football.com All-West Region Third Team squad for 2007. They were senior place-kicker Matt Bicocca (6'1" 167 lbs., San Andreas, CA/Calaveras HS) and senior defensive tackle Mitchell MacCready (6'4", 244 lbs., Manteca, CA/Manteca HS).
Over the past four seasons, Bennett helped Willamette rush for a total of 8,960 yards (229.7 yards per game) and 94 touchdowns. In 2007, he helped the Bearcats rush for 2,500 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2007. He was a key blocker and pass protector as WU accumulated 343.0 total yards of offense per game.

On Saturday, Dec. 8, Bennett represented Willamette on the United States team of NCAA Division III All-Stars at the 2007 Aztec Bowl in Chihuahua, Mexico. The United States' ground game led to two fourth quarter touchdowns to hold off Mexico, 37-19. Bennett helped the USA gain 191 rushing yards and 397 total yards during the game.
Bennett was chosen by his teammates as Willamettes Offensive Player of the Year in 2006. He was selected as the Offensive Player of the Year again this fall. MacCready was named Defensive Player of the Year by the Bearcats in 2006. Bennett, Bicocca and MacCready were freshmen on Willamette's team that qualified for the NCAA Division III Playoffs in 2004.
Bicocca scored a career-high 49 points this year. He converted 7 of 12 field goals and made 28 of 28 extra points. He connected on a 42-yard field goal with four seconds remaining to send Willamette to a 33-32 victory over arch rival Linfield College. He set the Willamette single game records for extra points made and attempted when he hit 11 of 11 PATs in WU's 77-17 win against Lewis & Clark College on Nov. 3.
He was successful on 20 of 29 field goals since the start of the 2005 season. Overall, he concluded his career after making 22 of 41 field goals (53.7%) and 102 of 112 extra points (91.1%).

A Threat to Web Search
Google, along with the rest of us, worries about Net neutrality. Simply put, this is the possibility that the few companies dominating Internet connectionsAT&T, Comcast, and so onwill filter the content to benefit themselves. Suppose one of the carriers buys Yahoo!; it could promote Yahoo! over Google or charge Google extra.
Let's take a closer look at Google itself, and the potential for losing what I call search neutralitywhich could happen if search-engine companies gain the ability to control results. If Google became a monopoly, what would prevent it from corrupting search results for its own benefit? I hear about how Google is "not evil," but that's today. Things change.
So far, Google has done little in the way of asserting its influence regarding search. It's currently search-neutral. It doesn't tweak its engine to give skewed results. In fact, Google searches are so neutral that if you go to Google and type "Search Engine," you get MSN first, followed by Alta Vista, Google, the Wikipedia entry on search engines, and Yahoo!. If Google were evil, it could simply remove any references to other search engines altogether.
But what about tomorrow? The problem, if examined carefully, is the search-engine dilemma. How did we get to a point where only these ridiculous search systems could navigate the entire Internet with its billions of pages?
The first proto-search system was probably Yahoo!, with its user-assisted directory system. And it worked great, since everyone was so into it. While Yahoo! operated in the early days, the crawlers were also out scouring the Web, led by MetaCrawler, which delivered the kinds of results that soon became common for search engines. The real breakthrough came with AltaVista, which cached the entire searched Internet and returned results fast.
I don't know about you, but this seems like a horrible way to do things. Stupid, even. I mean, to navigate the Net, does a company have to store literally the entire thing on its own computers?
Unfortunately, there is no other way that works. There are some idealistic proposals, such as the Semantic Web, that nobody will adopt or that will be ruined by spammers and scammers. Old-fashioned Yahoo! directories cannot be maintained with any accuracy. Wikis are not enough to replace Google.
Because there is no alternative to search engines, Google and the others are perfecting ways to leverage them with phone-number searches and even dialing via the search engine. Maps are overlaid on search results. Demographics are next.
Which brings me back to my point. With an entire Web-universe structured to rely on a limited number of search engines, when does corruption sneak into the equation, and what do you do about it? Imagine how Google could be used to swing an election! Even some little tweaks to the results could have an effect. But what about out-and-out rigging? It wouldn't even be illegal, from what I can tell. After all, it's not voter fraud. It's just search.
The fact is, no one demands search neutrality. But if we are thinking about Net neutrality, we need to think about search neutrality, too. The loss of either one would be a threat to democracy.

Rice Pilaf
Monday, September 17, 2018 Add Comment
Rice Pilaf
This recipe for rice pilaf is a simple side dish that is a great alternative to plain white rice. Its mild chicken and garlic flavors make it a versatile and easy side for any supper.
This is my go-to side dish.
It's quick, easy, full of flavor and adaptable too (you can add vegetables or meat to make it a one-pot meal)! It goes with anything from roast chicken to curry!
I love this rice pilaf with shrimp scampi because it's mild, but it also adds depth to the dish without clashing with it.
Why this recipe works:
The light flavor of the rice makes this the perfect side dish for almost any main meal.
The ingredients in this recipe are very common and probably already in most people's pantry.
It's so easy to make and goes with so much! It's perfect for those busy days when I pick up a cooked chicken for dinner and then just whip this up with some steamed broccoli. It's so simple and so much better than getting a full take out.
This is also a great dish for children. I used to give it to my son with some steamed broccoli when he moved onto solid foods. He loved it (and still does).
Here's How to make it:
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan.
Add the onions and cook until soft (about 5 minutes).
Add a garlic clove and the rice and stir until coated with the butter.
Add the stock (chicken or vegetable stock work best).
Add the parsley and a bay leaf.
Season with salt and pepper, raise the heat and bring to a boil.
As soon as it reaches a boil, lower the heat to a low heat, cover and cook until all the stock has been absorbed by the rice and the rice is tender.
Serve and enjoy!
So next time you go to put the boxed stuff in your grocery cart, think twice. You can make this at home with all your own ingredients.
Cook's Tips:
- Once you set the stove to low heat, cover the pot and make sure to keep it covered. The steam helps to cook the rice.
- Don't skip the step of letting the rice rest after it's done cooking. The moisture will continue to seep into the rice.
- Long grain rice works best for this recipe. I always use Uncle Ben's – I'm not being paid to say that – it's really the only rice I use (the long cook variety – I never touch quick cook rices).
- Add cooked chicken and frozen peas to make this into a full meal.
- Swap out the chicken stock for vegetable stock to make this a vegetarian side dish.

While searching for recipes for chocolate chips muffins yesterday I looked over my boards and remember that I had pinned this recipe. So while out shopping we picked up the ingredients we needed and I made them this morning.
They are made with tater tots, toppings you would traditionally put on omelets, and eggs. They were super easy and really yummy. I'm definitely going to make them again.
A couple notes on how I made them:
- She said that some people had problems with them sticking really bad and said to use grease with flour in it. I just used regular cooking spray and they were really easy to get out of the muffin tin.
- You could use lots of different toppings and meats. I chose to use some leftover breakfast sausage we had in the freezer for half of them and ham for the other half. For toppings I used mushrooms and peppers.
- I did salt and pepper my eggs a little before putting them in.
I'm planning on making these again and they would be really good for a quick breakfast, just make them beforehand, freeze them, and then microwave as many as needed.
So now it's your turn. Head over to Ella Claire, grab the recipe, and get cooking.

Fanfic An adorable "friendshipping" fic that feels genuine and substantial
I'm fairly new to the ocean of MLP fanworks, so when I decided to search for Derpy-oriented stories on a whim, Trails and Trials was among the first that I came across. This particular fic has shaped my expectations of what to look for in a good MLP story, and even weeks later, once I revisited it after reading plenty of other works, I feel confident when I say that this is still my favorite example of MLP fanfiction.
There are many Derpy fics that paint her as the perfect woobie. What separates this from many others I've read is that Derpy makes an earnest effort to not let her hardships cloud her being, and once given a little push forward by her fortunate meeting with Twilight, she stops at nothing to do what she can to change her situation entirely. Derpy's mission to learn the meaning of true friendship paints her as a hero of sorts for whom I found myself cheering the entire way. As a result, I feel like this particular incarnation of Derpy is one I can see fitting into the actual show very closely.
The writing is lovingly vivid and personal to the characters, and it's concise enough that it never embellishes itself with unnecessary detail. The author does a good job at portraying Derpy's environment and feelings via third-person, and the transitions to her thoughts are seamless and add much to the narrative rather than detract from it. The story's humor is entertaining as it often puts us in Derpy's mind, making little attempt to explain her surreal behavior and thought processes, but executes it well enough that the reader can accept it as being integral to Derpy's character instead of find it too absurd and out of place.
I do have a few issues however, particularly when Derpy is revealed to be illiterate. While I can accept this development since it gives Twilight another chance to guide Derpy with her expertise, it is neither alluded to previously nor expanded upon later beyond a few paragraphs in the chapter afterward. I feel like chapter 5 happened just a little too soon, and I would have loved to learn more about Derpy's reunion with her daughters. These are minor complaints, since the rest of the story doesn't suffer from such pacing issues.
Anyone can make a "heartwarming" fanfic, but this one is backed by empathetic writing and a conscious effort to keep true to the show's spirit and themes. I highly recommend it!

Many Medicare beneficiaries are not aware that the open enrollment period for the Medicare Part D Drug plans is happening right now. You have until December 7th to determine if it is to your benefit to change plans, which could save you money.
There are many reasons you cannot assume that the plan you are on now will be the best one for you in 2013 including:
In 2013 both Health Net and Community CCRx will no longer offer Part D plans of any type. If you are enrolled in one of their plans you need to comparison shop for a new plan now.
It is important to check even if you currently have a name brand company like United Health Care, Health Net, Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna or Blue Shield. When reviewing plans for clients for 2013, we have found an average savings of $1,100 per year.
If you have Internet access, you can compare Medicare's drug plans online. Go to Medicare's "Plan Finder Tool" at www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan, and type in your personal information (from your Medicare Card), the drugs you take and dosages, select the pharmacies you use and you'll get a cost comparison breakdown ("estimated annual drug cost") for each plan available in your area.
When comparing drug plans, don't choose a plan just based on the monthly premium. Low-premium plans often have higher prescription co-payments and could end up being more expensive. Look at the "estimated annual drug costs" which is how much you can expect to pay for the entire year in total out-of-pocket costs, including; premiums, deductibles and co-pays.
Be certain to verify that the plan you're considering covers all of the drugs you take with no restrictions. Some plans require you to get prior approval for a particular drug or have "step therapy" where you must try a number of cheaper drugs before they will cover certain prescriptions.
If you are not able to do a comparison yourself, consider asking someone in your family or a friend to help you, or you can call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and they will do it for you over the phone.
If you currently have a Medicare Part D plan it is critical that you shop for the best plan now.

Hello! Thanks for your interest in Ishan Khosla Design.
We're interested in collaborating on projects that involve research, society, social impact, development, disaster relief, design for museums and cultural institutions, craft, skill development, design thinking, futures, urbanism, intelligent transportation, tech, food, sustainability, disruptive innovation and design education. The best way to get in touch with us is at email@example.com
Ishan Khosla Design LLP is a 10 year old boutique design studio specializing in:
1. CORE GRAPHIC DESIGN: Brand Identity Strategy & Design, Editorial (books, magazines, brochures) & Interactive Design (websites and apps), Information Design & Wayfinding, Print & Advertising (posters, stationery, banners, advertisements, leaflets, flyers, book covers)
2. SOCIO-CULTURAL PROJECTS: Installations, Typecraft (typefaces and lettering with craft), Objects; Furniture Design, Textiles and Ceramics
Ishan Khosla Design has been called the 100 Best Contemporary Graphic Designers in the world by Charlotte and Peter Fiell in their book, New Graphic Design. We have been published in India: Contemporary Design — Graphics, Fashion and Interiors [The Victoria & Albert Museum], Typographica, Go Stop Think Do [both, Thames & Hudson], Tokyo Type Director's Club Annual, Asian Graphics Now! [Taschen]. Magazines such as India Today, Habitus, Trends, Take on Art and several other international books and publications. IKD won the D&AD Kyoorius Design Awards blue elephant for Best Book Design. We have been finalists for Branding and Design Craft for the same awards previously.
We are a cutting-edge, creatively driven, full-service design consultancy — we set the trends for others to follow. We create strong relationships between clients and their customers. We believe that it doesn't matter where, how or in what medium, an idea is expressed, one still has to start with a great idea.
To us, design is not just the visual or aesthetic, but the meaning behind it — the story of who you are and what you and your company aspires to become. We help you add clarity to your communication. We can do this because, are not just designers but content creators — we help shape your brand by creating content which is supported by great design — that is truthful, direct and appropriate to your company and the audience you want to build.
We bring to the table a strong, committed and passionate team of experts with disparate experiences and interests. We are process oriented and work hard to understand your organization, the competition, the current and long-term target audiences. We work very collaboratively with all our clients through various processes such as brain-storming sessions and mind-mapping.
We bring personalized attention to your work that is uncommon in today's fast-paced commercial design world. We help translate your vision into a brand identity, website, app or print collateral that is bold, makes an impact, and creates enthusiasm and excitement in your target audience. We help uncover the hidden needs of your audiences and turn those insights into compelling communications.
Overall, the depth and breadth of the work is epitomized by Ishan's work experience in the United States and India which spans over 15 years. This experience helps us combine the best of global and Indian design sensibilities — for instance for PriceWaterhouse Coopers we have created a corporate report that combines the minimalism of the west, with chapter separators that are rooted in Indian craft traditions.
This reflects our conviction that great design cannot happen without passion, intelligence, and personal commitment, which is demonstrated by a portfolio of work that spans over 15 years.
We provide our clients with
- Ideas that are original, compelling and inspiring
- Design that is well-executed
- Work that is relevant to its context of the subject, the user etc.

Hate Speech, Pornography, and the Radical Attack on Free Speech Doctrine
Hate Speech, Pornography, and the Radical Attack on Free Speech Doctrine
A recent Supreme Court decision declares: "[I]t is a central tenet of the First Amendment that the government must remain neutral in the marketplace of ideas." Such claims are red flags to radical theorists, who deny that neutrality exists in the political world that legal rules inhabit. Radical legal theorists, like their kindred spirits in philosophy, history, and literature, view such assertions as just so much rhetoric disguising what is in fact some oppressive value choice imposed by elites on the less powerful.
Radical legal critics, especially adherents of "outsider jurisprudence" and critical race theory, have good reason to be suspicious of neutrality claims. American legal history is replete with what can now be recognized as outright oppression of racial minorities dressed up as the inevitable result of the application of some neutral principle. in the notorious case of Plessy v. Ferguson, the United States Supreme Court upheld a Louisiana law requiring "equal but separate" accommodations for "white" and "colored" railroad passengers. the Court brushed aside the claim that despite its formal neutrality in the treatment of white and black, the law was nonetheless based on racist notions of black inferiority. "[T]he assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority," the Court explained, "is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it."
The Plessy travesty was made possible by a brand of jurisprudence that had its heyday in the late nineteenth century and was so ubiquitous that it had no name but today is referred to, usually derisively, as "legal formalism." Formalist judges believed, or at least acted as if they did, that cases could be decided by mechanical application of legal rules. a key feature of this jurisprudence is its claim that it leaves no room for value . . .

Four years after declaring war on air pollution, China is winning. And at a record pace. If the current declines in pollution continue at the same rate, residents could see significant improvements to their health and lifespans extended by months or years.
So how did China get here?
In 2014, China released a national air quality action plan that required all urban areas to reduce concentrations of fine particulate matter pollution by at least 10 percent, or even more in some cities. Beijing, which was required to reduce pollution by 25 percent, set aside an incredible $120 billion just for that purpose alone.
To achieve these targets, China banned new coal-fired power plants in the most polluted regions of the country, including Beijing. Existing plants were given the choice to reduce their emissions or the coal would be replaced with natural gas. Larger cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou restricted the number of cars on the road. The country also shut down coal mines.
Of course, air pollution levels in China still surpass World Health Organization recommendations for what is considered safe. But progress is being made, especially in Beijing.
