Here are my Mountain West football power rankings heading into this week's games.
- Boise State (6-2 overall, 4-0 MW): The Broncos are playing the best football of any team in the conference on offense and defense. They've won four in a row and have outscored those opponents 120-49.
2. Air Force (4-4, 3-2): Winners of three straight and coming off an impressive 45-28 win at Colorado State. The offense has been good all season, but if the defense can play like it did in the second half against the Rams, the Falcons will be tough to beat down the stretch.
3. Wyoming (5-3, 3-1): Some may think this is a homer pick, and perhaps it is a little high for a team that continues to struggle with consistency on offense. But after forcing a school-record seven turnovers in a 42-3 homecoming win over New Mexico, the Cowboys move up three spots from last week.
4. San Diego State (7-2, 3-2): The Aztecs snapped a two-game skid with an impressive road win at Hawaii, and looked more like the team that started the season 7-0 and ranked in the top 25. A game Saturday at San Jose State should continue this team's upward trend.
5. Colorado State (6-3, 4-1): The Rams played some close games, but won them in recent weeks. But a close game at home to Air Force resulted in an ugly second half and an ugly loss. The Rams are better than what they showed in the second half of that game, but these are week-to-week rankings. Perhaps another rivalry game at Wyoming is what Colorado State needs to get refocused.
6. Fresno State (5-3, 4-1): The Bulldogs came crashing back to earth after a 26-16 home loss to UNLV in a game they were favored to win by 20 points. Was that loss a blip on the radar, or a sign of things to come? A home game Saturday against Brigham Young seems a lot bigger now than in previous weeks for this team.
7. UNLV (3-5, 2-3): Just when you thought the Rebels' season was spiraling out of control, they go to Fresno State and win. Bowl eligibility is still a possibility for this team, which plays its next two games at home.
8. Nevada (1-7, 1-3): Up one spot from last week for a team that didn't play last week, but the teams below it were awful. Nevada has scored 35, 42 and 42 points in its last three games, but has given up 44 and 45 in its last two. Nevada plays at Boise State Saturday, so this No. 8 ranking isn't safe.
9. Utah State (4-5, 2-3): The up-and-down season for the Aggies continued with a 41-14 home loss to Boise State. Like UNLV, Utah State still has a shot at getting bowl eligible, which may be what it takes for coach Matt Wells to save his job.
10. New Mexico (3-5, 1-4): The Lobos are reeling after the 42-3 pasting they took at Wyoming. One thing New Mexico needs to do is get back to what it does, and that's run the ball in its triple-option offense. Becoming a passing team isn't happening this season, and not after five interceptions against the Cowboys.
11. Hawaii (3-5, 1-4): Not sure if there is a win in the Rainbow Warriors' future over their final four games, but anything is possible in the West Division.
12. San Jose State (1-8, 0-4): The Spartans have the nation's leading tackler in junior linebacker Frank Ginda at 13.8 per game. There, I found a positive to say about the Spartans.

First, I would like to let you know that from now till December 22nd you can get 20% off your next Gilt Taste purchase by entering the promo code spoonforkbacon when you check out. So think about those last minute holiday gifts. In other news, I bought my cat a bow tie I am really excited about. I am also in the market for new photo props, so if any of you know awesome places to buy plates and things please tell me! I would very much appreciate it.
I pretty much hate eating salads. I never crave them. I'm not going to sit here and pretend to be some healthy person who eats salads all the time because I "like" them, or eat sliced tomatoes or celery as a snack. Get real. I do understand that my diet can't just consist of meat and bread and pork and potatoes and goldfish crackers. I do I get it. But salads, unless they have bacon and a butt load of bleu cheese, I'm just not that into it. This salad is different. It actually tastes good. Other salads, while granted are leafy greens ones, kinda taste like I'm eating grass from my front lawn where the feral cats hang out. This salad is rad because it has so much texture and crunch. So if you're a salad hater like me, you should try this. I feel like its a good jumping off point to eating salads for every meal like all the girls here in LA do.

Cooking With C.C. ~ Gluten Free Cappuccino Bars
Either my Mom or I had run across this recipe for cappuccino bars, but it was not a gluten free recipe. I sent it to Katie anyway and asked if she could convert it to GF. She was able to do it and we got together Tuesday afternoon to have my first ever GF baking experience! I took tons of pictures and am going to try to walk you through making this recipe. I did not save where the recipe came from so if you come across my blog and this is your recipe, let me know and I'll definitely give you credit.
Let's begin!
First, preheat the oven to 375*F with the rack at the middle level. Line a 10×15 inch pan with baking parchment or grease lightly. (We just used Pam and it worked fine.)
In a bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter (at room temperature),
1 cup of brown sugar (firmly packed),
1 tbsp. of instant coffee or espresso powder (not granules), and 1 tsp. of vanilla extract.
Cream together with your mixer.
You may have to use a spatula to get everything off the beaters during the process.
In a separate bowl, mix together 2 1/4 cups of all purpose gluten free flour, 1/2 tsp. of xantham gum, 1/2 tsp. of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp. of salt.
Use a whisk to slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
It may become easier to use a spatula to mix at some point.
Lastly, stir in 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips using a large spoon. That is unless you use the really big chocolate chips and then it will be hard to get more than about 1 cup in the batter.
The mixture will be very crumbly, with barely enough dough to hold together the chocolate chips.
Spoon the mixture into your baking pan.
Use your fingers, palms, and heels of your hands to press the dough evenly into the pan. If necessary, cover the dough with wax or parchment paper and use a small rolling pin to flatten the lumps. We used the big spoon first and then finished with a spatula.
Bake 5 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake 5 to 10 minutes more or until the edges are just starting to brown (watch carefully). Ours took the first 5 minutes, the next 10 minutes, and then 2 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool 5 minutes.
While the bars are cooling, combine 2 tbsp. of milk (we used almond milk), 1 tbsp. of butter, 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon in a saucepan.
Use a whisk and stir over medium heat until smooth and barely bubbly. Don't leave this stuff! It might burn if you do.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the bars.
Smooth out the glaze to the edges and corners with a spatula. Now, the hardest part! Let the bars cool until the pan is just warm to the touch.
Cut into bars with a sharp knife. The original recipe suggests cutting them into 32 pieces. Ours ended up being 35 pieces. Now, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why we were cutting them into such small pieces. Until...
...I ATE ONE!!!!! These bars are super rich. Make sure you have a beverage handy because you'll definitely need it!
These cappuccino bars were eaten up super quick! Between splitting them with Katie and her hubby and the five of us here at the house plus the extra guest we had, they were gone in 2 days. Damaris is already begging for more! (And I agree with her, just don't tell her that! LOL!)
Hope you've enjoyed this episode of Cooking with C.C. I plan to be back with more recipes soon, all having something to do with pumpkin! Enjoy!

Pumpkin recipes sounds delish! I'll be waiting
Thanks for sharing this. My niece has celiac, loves coffee and is a baker. I'll be sending your blog link to her -- she will love this! I'll be trying this recipe as soon as I get some gluten free flour. Although I don't have gluten issues that I'm aware of, my family certainly does (nieces, mom, sister) and I try to be careful.

We encourage you to send your child to the cafeteria every day and we will take care of them.
This year, lunch costs $2.00 for elementary and $2.25 for middle and high. We also have several extra items your child can buy at school which conform to the USDA Smart Snacks in Schools Standards.

This is a perfect example of a Rookwood vase from the arts and crafts movement. The color is a nice rich matt chocolate brown with a floral design rimming the top. Simple design that speaks volumes. A very impressive example and a pleasure to admire. Displays perfectly from all sides and angles. The perfect size to fit on your mantle as it is a little bit bigger than most production ware pieces.
Exceptional vase in that it has no chips, no cracks, no scratches to glaze and free from crazing and repairs. A few pin pricks typical of this firing process. Any non-perfections are from the firing/manufacturing process. I cannot detect and repairs or retorations on this piece.
Dimensions are below.
Authentic and signed appropriately with the Rookwood symbol and shape number.
H: 9 1/4", Base: 3 1/2" , Rim: 3 3/4"

Recently, the library on the second floor of Longfellow Elementary School in Sheboygan has been the site of special relationships built around reading. The Malawian graduate students have come twice a week for several weeks to Longfellow to lead after-school reading enhancement for students in grades 1 through 5. They've put into practice an array of teaching approaches learned in ED 792 Reading: Instructional Strategies taught by Geralyn Leannah (early intervention lead reading teacher at Longfellow school) and Lori Roelse (data coach at Jefferson and Pigeon River schools), both adjunct instructors in Lakeland's M.Ed. program.
At one table, the children are playing with the prefix "re." A girl who looks to be about seven tells me, "Re is a prefix that means backwards or again. You use it in front of a word to do it over. Reuse, repay, replay. Return means you come back." A boy about the same age reads me his sentence, "I repaint my picture because I messed up and need to do it again." The laughter and enthusiasm of the children sitting with their teacher, Margaret Mandala, reminds me how rewarding and refreshing it is to unlock the secrets of words.
Margaret said, "My experience at Longfellow has been really satisfying. I had a lot of fun seeing the children successfully completing tasks which I had prepared for them using the different strategies." As Frank Mbwana outlined for me later, those strategies included phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, decoding, comprehension, and learner response. Frank said, "The children had fun reading stories and at the same time, playing around with words…The experience will be a lifetime memory for me, as I was able to interact with learners from a different background."
Nearby, two fifth-graders sit with Mavuto Chiwale. They are constructing sentences with words like "imply" and "realization." First, Mavuto has them define the word they have selected. "What does 'imply' mean?" he asks his young learner. "Imply means that you say something without really saying it," the boy answers and then shares the following sentence: "The way the teacher looks at me implies I am doing a good job."
Elsewhere in the room, children are sounding out words in books about whales, owls, and the A to Z of grandmothers. Mike Kumwamba is having the children look carefully at the illustration on the cover of one book and asking them to predict what they think the story is going to be about, based on what they can see. With Yowasi Nkhambala, the students are deciding who is going to read the part of the mouse in a short play and who will be the wind. With Aleme Chitanje, the students are exploring a text about a superhero, taking turns reading aloud line by line. Everywhere, reading is happening.
Instructor Geralyn Leannah shared her thoughts about the experience. "The Malawi students have demonstrated their passion and enthusiasm for literacy and learners time and again over the past month and a half," she said. "With humor and diligence they have drawn out the very best in their young charges during the After School Program tutoring sessions. It is amazing how fluidly they have adapted the learning from Lakeland into seamless practice at Longfellow."
Not only are the Lakeland graduate students learning more about how to teach reading, they also have had the chance to develop friendships. Henderson Ngwira noted, "There has been a warm reception every time we arrive at Longfellow school. The interaction with the children has been very good, and all the teachers are warm and supportive."
Regarding the overall experience at Longfellow, Edson Dzimwe commented, "It has been great and I've really enjoyed the opportunity to work with the children on reading comprehension, trying out the various teaching strategies. I look forward to taking this home with me."
Based on what I heard and saw, I'm sure all eleven graduate students would agree.

Post subject: Irish plants / gardens & GPS coordinates
Lately, I learned a new trick from a small town forum - new to me. The forum has a "local sites" section with GPS coordinates embedded into image icons. Clicking automatically opens location on Google Maps, or, if you have the free Google Earth program installed, will intiate that too. It can just as easily be done with text links too. Anyhow, I started using it on my site for my hiking trails pages. Also, I did preservation work on a Catalpa tree for the local historical society, and linked GPS coordinates for anyone caring to see the condition of the tree after tinkering on it. One example on my site is at the bottom of this page where the icons pertain to the bottom photo and it's trail ...
I saw a few examples of people trying this out to share botanical garden locations. And hiking forums seem to be implementing it. I'm not sure if any of you will have a major need for it, but that's the concept if you can find a use for it. Aside from embedding the code in an image, the most basic link will look like this (location of Catalpa tree in Jacksonville, Oregon) ...
The first is Google Maps. The second is Google Earth. Be sure to remember that in the link code, there is NO SPACE after the comma between the numbers.
Without a GPS device, you can find coordinates on Google Earth if you can find a place. You can enter it's name or address, or play around zooming, dragging until you see the place in a town or area. Then.... place your cursor over the spot - whether garden, tree, nursery, etc.. - the coordinate numbers display at the bottom of Google Earth. When the cursor pauses, so does the GPS coordinates. Then you can write those down, and substitute them for the numbers in the bits of code posted.

Worked nicely.
I was wondering if anyone would reply. It's worked out very handy for me the past couple of months.
It's just so automatic and quick.
Seems I might be using a shorter bit of code. If you place your cursor over the links I posted and copy it, you can see its as short as what's written.
Either way - it takes you to the same place
The site I first saw use it is layed-out a kind of fancy directory with icons, but any website can make the same kind of section, even if it's merely a list of single line text links to popular places. So the coordinates links are useful for single occurances, or full lists, like Sticky topics of garden locations.

5 days until my due date!
Still feeling generally uncomfortable. My hands (especially my left) are really swollen and occasionally my fingers go numb. Lovely!
But I still have good days and not so good days. Yesterday I actually felt pretty great.
My insomnia has been much better lately, but I am finding I am have to change positions more frequently. Just hard to get comfortable these days!
Baby T is still wiggling like crazy, which is still amazing. Dr B. told us yesterday that she was about average size (7.5 lbs). She must be so squished in there!
Dr B. basically said I can go into labor any time, even though I feel pretty normal. He is also the doctor on call for the next 9 days, so I was pretty happy about that.
In the meantime we are just waiting.
I am starting to get anxious to meet our daughter.
Are you ready in there?!
We can't wait to see you!

Should feds pay the price for people who live in disaster prone areas?
Whether it's homes built along the coast or cabins built in the woods, the federal government is increasingly being asked to pick up more of the disaster tab for Americans who choose to live in close proximity to areas where natural disasters are common.
Given the focus on reining in federal spending, it's not unfair to suggest that it's time to tighten the rules for people building in areas prone to natural disasters — or at least asking them to pick up more of the tab. To be clear, I'm not singling out people whose property is lot to a so-called act of God, but rather to those people who build in an area where it's a matter of "when," not "if" disaster strikes.
As a story in Monday's New York Times noted: "Across the nation, tens of billions of tax dollars have been spent on subsidizing coastal reconstruction in the aftermath of storms, usually with little consideration of whether it actually makes sense to keep rebuilding in disaster-prone areas. If history is any guide, a large fraction of the federal money allotted to New York, New Jersey and other states recovering from Hurricane Sandy — an amount that could exceed $30 billion — will be used the same way."
The story reminded me of a January report from Headwaters Economics, which put the the cost of fighting wildfires for the federal government at nearly $3 billion per year. Roughly a third of that total is spent protecting private property. The costs are only expected to increase as more people move into the wildland-urban interface and the intensity of wildfires increases due to climate change.

Choosing a grill for your backyard can be a difficult decision. With such a wide variety of brands and models to choose from and with so many options and features, you may find yourself at a loss and overwhelmed. If you've already narrowed your choice down between two models of the same brand, your task is much simpler. The Weber Q220 grill is an updated version of the Q200 model. The differences between the two grill models are minor, but may make a big difference to a dedicated griller.
The Weber Q200 grill features piezo ignition. This type of ignition is commonly used in portable gas grills, camping stoves and lighters. When the ignition button is pressed, a spring-loaded hammer hits a PZT or quartz crystal. The crystal emits voltage and electric discharge, which ignites the gas and starts heating the grill. In contrast, the Q220 model functions with electronic ignition. The electronic ignition system uses a transformer to conduct a high voltage current to a spark plug device. When the voltage jumps from the spark plug to the metal wall of the grill, it gives off a large amount of heat, igniting the gas and starting the grill.
Thermometers are extremely useful in grilling. Poorly cooked meat can lead to disastrous health effects, including food poisoning and contraction of parasites. The built-in thermometer on the Q220 grill makes checking the temperature of your cooking food an easy task. The Q200 model does not come with a built-in model, but an external oven thermometer does the trick almost as easily.
Lid Size
The Weber Q220 comes with a taller lid than the Q200. The main advantage of the Q220's tall lid is in the volume of products you can cook in the grill at one time. The tall lid makes cooking large roasts and whole chickens an easy task to complete in one go. The shorter lid of the Q200 model, on the other hand, is designed more for cooking smaller foods like hot dogs and hamburgers.
Weber grills are typically sold by online or local dealers. Though prices vary based on seller and location, the Q220 model generally costs more than the Q200. For example, the Australian-based Weber website lists the best price for the Q200 model at A$419 and the Q220 at A$449. At sites like Amazon.com, you can purchase the Q200 model for less than USD$200 and the Q220 model for little more.

It was by chance that I came across your wonderful blog. We shared interpreting duties once in Porto Alegre in 2005 as Babels members.
I wanted to let you know that in Mexico and other Latin American countries people use "espanglés" for "Spanglish".
Feel free to get in touch should you want the Mexican perspective on any social justice related term.

Cholesterol can be defined as a fatty substance, which is made within the cells in the human body. The hepatic cells make about a quarter of the total cholesterol. It is a vital substance needed for the normal body functioning. Cholesterol is carried by the proteins in the blood. Proteins and lipid together are known as lipoproteins. There are two forms of lipoproteins called as LDL, which is harmful and HDL, good cholesterol. A certain amount of cholesterol is normally present in the blood, which is required to keep you healthy. However, excessive amount of cholesterol levels can affect your health, as it can give rise to serious health conditions. A built-up of cholesterol in the artery wall can restrict the blood flow to the heart and may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, mini-stroke etc. There are some natural remedies available to lower blood cholesterol levels.
>> Read Testimonials of Successfully Controlling Cholesterol
Causes of High Cholesterol
There are many factors responsible for increasing the blood cholesterol levels. Consumption of foods with higher amount of saturated fat is one of the significant causes. Smoking is yet another important cause of increased cholesterol levels. A chemical called acrolein found in cigarettes prevents HDL transporting fatty deposits to the liver, which may cause atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries). People with diabetes or high blood pressure may have higher levels of cholesterol. People with family history of heart disease or stroke are at the increased risk of high cholesterol. An inherited condition called familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) may also cause high cholesterol. Being overweight and inactive lifestyle is also another risk factor for high cholesterol levels.
Treating High Cholesterol
The treatment for high cholesterol aims at lowering the LDL levels to minimize the risk of developing heart diseases. There are different types of medications available to lower the blood cholesterol levels. The most commonly prescribed drugs are statins, aspirin, niacin and ezetimibe.
Home Remedies to Lower Cholesterol
The very first step you should take to lower the cholesterol level is to improve your lifestyle. Certain lifestyle changes along with a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise can work great.
Diet may play an important role in maintaining the normal cholesterol level. Cut down the foods high in saturated and trans fat such as meat, meat products or full-fat dairy products like butter, cheese, cream etc. your diet should be rich in high-fiber foods like fresh fruits and vegetables. Oatmeal and oat bran can help reduce LDL or bad cholesterol. The foods like pears, apple, kidney beans, barley and prunes are known to contain soluble fiber, which can minimize the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream. The foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and sardines, as well as flax seeds or canola oil are known to reduce blood pressure and minimize the risk of developing blood clots. Almonds, walnuts and other nuts are also known to decrease blood cholesterol levels, as these nuts are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Lifestyle Changes
In addition to balanced diet, it is necessary to follow heart-healthy lifestyle changes. It includes weight management, physical activity and quitting unhealthy habits. Being overweight may be one of the contributing factors for high cholesterol levels. Losing weight can help to lower LDL. You need to adopt active lifestyle. Regular exercising can improve the cholesterol levels. Daily work out for 30-60 minutes can help great. Exercises like brisk walking, jogging and swimming are found to be helpful. Besides, you need to stay away from unhealthy habits like smoking and alcoholism.
Activated Remedies
If you are tired of lowering cholesterol on your own with no results, then do go through 'Crunch Cholesterol' by Colin Carmichael, the health consultant and medical researcher. It is the easiest and fastest way to lower cholesterol without taking any drugs or boring diet. This program reveals the facts about how to reduce bad cholesterol and triglycerides, how to regulate blood pressure, how to lose extra pounds with little effort and how to regulate glucose levels.

Irish Cuisine, Renewed and Reshaped
Contrary to popular belief, Irish cooking has evolved beyond potatoes and corned beef and cabbage. Weekend Edition essayist Bonny Wolf explains what's been happening in the kitchens of Ireland's most creative chefs.
Tastes of Ireland
Boiled Bacon with Cabbage
The following recipe for boiled bacon with cabbage (more Irish than corned beef and cabbage) is from Tamasin Day-Lewis' cookbook West of Ireland Summers: Recipes & Memories from an Irish Childhood (Roberts Rinehart Publishers, 1997). She says this is almost the national dish of Ireland.
· 4-5 lb. unsmoked collar of bacon, without rind
· A selection of chopped vegetables (for example, 3 onions, 6 carrots, 2 leeks, 3-4 celery stalks)
· Bunch of fresh herbs, tied in a bundle
· 6-8 cups chicken stock or water
· 1 large green cabbage, cored and chopped
Soak the bacon in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water several times. Put the soaked bacon in a large casserole dish with the vegetables, herbs, and stock or water. Bring just to a boil, skim, turn the heat right down, and keep it simmering at a mere bubble, with the lid on, for about 30 minutes.
Add cabbage and continue to simmer for another hour (this sounds like a long time, but you are not looking for a crisply al dente result, quite the reverse; the slow cooking will soften the cabbage completely.) Turn off the heat and allow the meat to 'settle' for 20 minutes, then remove it from the pot, transfer it to a carving board, and keep it hot for another 10 minutes under a tight layer of foil and a cloth.
Using a slotted spoon, lift out the cabbage and discard as much as you can of the other vegetables. Lay a bed of cabbage on each plate, put a couple of thick slices of bacon on top, and serve the cooking liquor in a pitcher. Serve with some good mustard and a potato dish such as champ, colcannon or boxty.
Makes 8 servings.
In The New Irish Table (Chronicle Books, 2003), Margaret M. Johnson offers recipes that reflect the traditions of Irish cuisine reinterpreted by contemporary cooks. Boxty is essentially potato cakes using both grated and mashed potatoes. The word comes from the Irish bac-stai, for the traditional cooking of potatoes on the hob (bac) over an open fire (stai.) Johnson gives this recipe for a boxty from a restaurant in Killarney, County Kerry, using only grated potatoes. She recommends serving it with bacon and cabbage or Irish stew.
· 1 lb. boiling potatoes, peeled
· 1 large onion, finely chopped
· 2 eggs, beaten
· ½ tsp. salt
· ½ tsp. freshly ground pepper
· Pinch of ground nutmeg
· 2 Tbsp. flour
· 2-4 Tbsp. unsalted butter for frying
Line a large bowl with a piece of muslin or cheesecloth, or a clean linen towel. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the potatoes into the bowl. Squeeze the cloth to extract as much of the starchy liquid as possible. Discard the starchy liquid, return the potatoes to the bowl, and stir in the onion, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the flour and mix well.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Drop the potato mixture, 1 tablespoonful at a time, into the skillet; do not crowd the pan. Flatten each cake with a spatula and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and crisp. Transfer the cakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200-degree oven. Repeat until all the mixture is used, adding more butter as necessary. Serve immediately.
Makes about 16 potato cakes.
Variation: Cut half the potatoes into 2-inch pieces. Cook the cut-up potatoes in salted boiling water for 12 to 15 minutes.
Irish Soda Bread
Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork is internationally known. It gets a lot of the credit for the Irish cooking revolution. The following soda bread from Darina Allen's Ballymaloe Seasons: Cooking from an Irish Country House (Roberts Rinehart Publishers, 1997) takes just a few minutes to make. She suggest experiment with additions such as olives, sun-dried tomatoes or caramelized onions.
· 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
· 1 tsp. salt
· 1 tsp. baking soda
· 1 ½ cups sour milk or buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in most of the milk at once. Using one hand, mix in the flour from the sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky. When it all comes together, turn it out onto a floured board and knead lightly for a second, just enough to tidy it up.
Pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick and cut a cross on it to let the fairies out. Let the cuts go over the sides of the bread to make sure of this.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then turn the oven down to 400 degrees and continue baking for 15 minutes or until cooked. If you are in doubt, tap the base of the bread: if it is cooked, it will sound hollow.

Last night I missed a very special event in television history: New Order performed "Love Will Tear Us Apart" live on Jimmy Kimmel.
EDIT: Thank you Stan M. Click here to go to a message board that has hyperlinks to the performance.
Weird... Jimmy Kimmel sort of acted like he's never heard the song "Love Will Tear Us Apart" before. He always struck me as a music-person, you'd think most music people would know such a timeless song.

Facebook is planning to go head-to-head with the likes of Apple Music and Spotify with the launch of its own music streaming service.
Musically reports that the company is initially working on building ad-supported music video tools, so that bands and record companies can embed videos natively into Facebook pages, and make money off of them.
It will also be licensing a third party content-ID system, similar to the one found on YouTube, so that the right people get paid, regardless of who uploads the video. Apparently Facebook royalties will match those of YouTube to start with but could increase if Facebook can better target adverts because it knows so much about us.
Apparently the plan is that once this is sorted to then launch a fully fledged music streaming service, similar to Apple Music or Spotify, which would be a huge power-play and could be potentially lucrative for Facebook if it can hoover up subscription revenues.
Musically speculates that rather than build its own service from scratch, it is likely that Facebook would buy one of the smaller streaming players such as Rdio, given the company is not a stranger to splashing the cash (see WhatsApp, Instagram and Oculus Rift).
A purchase of Rdio would give Facebook instant access to not just Rdio's technology, but also its pre-existing deals with record companies, which could save it the sort of negotiation and wrangling we've recently seen Apple go through. But then again, Facebook is so massive anyway that it could likely decide to go it alone.
The broader implications of such a move are interesting to think about too: if Facebook launched its own streaming app, would this kill Apple's enthusiasm for OS-level Facebook integration on iOS? What about Spotify's Facebook sign-in and social integration? And does this mean that our guilty melodic pleasures will be posted all over our newsfeeds? [Musically]

They jointly topped the Media Guardian 100 list after winning a bid to retain the BBC's licence fee, judges said.
Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies and Little Britain stars David Walliams and Matt Lucas also featured in the list.
The annual list ranks media professionals by cultural influence, economic weight and political power.
The judging panel said Thompson and Grade topped the list because plans to introduce external regulation to the BBC and to share its licence fee with other broadcasters were also rejected by the government in March.
However, Mark Thompson faced criticism for plans to shed 20% of the BBC's workforce over the next three years to cut costs, which led to a 24-hour staff walkout in May.
Rupert Murdoch fell from the top spot into third place after his BSkyB empire and Sun newspaper faced "their most serious competition for years".
The BBC accounts for 16 executives on the list, including new BBC One controller Peter Fincham at number 12.
Rising 65 places, Mr Fincham is this year's joint highest riser along with Paul Abbott, the writer's of Channel 4's Bafta award-winning Shameless.
Presenters fell
Russell T Davies, the man responsible for the successful return of Doctor Who to BBC One after 16 years, is the highest new entry at number 14.
Little Britain creators Matt Lucas and David Walliams are joint new entries at 21, while presenters Jonathan Ross and Jeremy Paxman fell out of the list.
The nine-strong judging panel of industry figures included Lord Alli and Guardian columnist Mark Lawson.
"Not every decision is right, but they are not made with the interests of advertisers in mind, or the need to drive subscriptions because renewal rates are dropping," he said.
"It's not shared with shareholders, it's not done to please the government."
Grade also said he had mixed feelings about the return of Doctor Who, which he regarded as "the worst programme on my channel" when he was BBC controller in 1984.
"So when I returned as chairman, I took it personally that they intended to re-do Doctor Who. But I got over it," he said.
"Anyway I have a six-year-old boy, Samuel, and every Saturday there was a countdown. 'Daddy, is it time for Doctor Who yet?' And we never missed it!'"

The busy market district of Kilis in southeast Turkey is full of Syrian refugee children, repairing household goods, serving baklava and selling jewellery to become the main breadwinner of their families because their parents struggle to find jobs.The civil war in neighbouring Syria has killed more than 140,000 people and driven 2.5 million abroad, at least 700,000 of whom have been formally registered in Turkey under its "open door" policy reflecting support for the Syrian uprising. Only 14 percent of Syrian children living outside the camps go to school, according to Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate (AFAD), with the majority taking up work, however minimally paid, to help sustain their families.Yehya, a 12-year-old Syrian boy from Azaz, a town near Syria's northern frontier with Turkey, works in a photography studio in a dilapidated mall around the corner from a string of gold shops in the market district.Hassan's father is a teacher and his mother Najla was a women's activist in the southern Syrian town of Deraa, near the Jordanian border, where the popular uprising against Syrian President Hafez al-Assad took shape in March 2011 .

Alexander Pechersky on the Revolt and Escape
In his own words...
Reunion of Sobibor survivors Alexander Pechersky (third from the left)
Alexander Pechersky was born on the 22 February 1909 in Kremenchuk, in the Ukraine. A lieutenant in the Red Army, he became a Prisoner of War in October 1941.
* Read more about Alexander Pechersky [here]
After trying to escape in May 1942, he was taken to Borisov, where a medical examination exposed him as being of Jewish extraction. He was sent to Sobibor death camp on the 22 September 1943 as a Jewish POW, along with some other soldiers and approximately 2,000 Jews from Minsk.
He was among eighty men selected by Hubert Gomerski for carpentry work, all the others on their transport were immediately taken to the gas chambers by Karl Frenzel.
Only twenty-two days later he managed to lead – together with Leon Feldhendler, a Polish Jew - the revolt on the 14 October 1943. Another four days later he and a group of his Soviet comrades succeeded in crossing the River Bug and joining the partisan bands – which later became part of the regular Soviet army.
He spent a short period in hospital in 1944. He never received any commendations for his heroic deeds, quite the contrary, the Soviet authorities regarded anyone who had worked either in Germany or for the Germans as a traitor, and he ended up instead with a prison sentence of several months.
Pechersky outlined his thinking in planning the revolt at the death camp:
My aim was first to kill the fascists who had already murdered so many Jews at Sobibor. Maybe that would allow only ten or fifteen of us to make a run for freedom, so that we could tell the world the truth.
To be honest I was not really all that confident about my plan, but I never mentioned that to the members of the committee, I wanted them to feel they were not powerless, and that we could indeed stage a revolt and escape.
For some time I discussed the plan only with my friend Leitman. I knew him as a quiet, strong and intelligent man. After giving it a lot of thought, we decided to present the plan, which had been worked out in detail, to Feldhendler and a few members of the committee.
I imposed one condition, that if we were to go ahead and execute the plan, killing the SS officers would be done only by men appointed by myself. I wanted them to be eliminated by teams of two, with a Soviet soldier in charge.
The reason was that I knew the characters of my men, I was well aware that if anyone should waver at the last minute, or even one hand should tremble, the entire revolt could fail. A single scream would be enough to cause hysteria; after that, restoring calm at the camp would be impossible.
I also imposed one other condition, "I will take your opinions into account, but I will have the final say. If I say this is how it will be done, then that is the way it will be done.
Pechersky described after the war what happened in Camp I after the roll-call signal was given:
People came streaming from all sides. We had previously selected seventy men, nearly all of them Soviet Prisoners of War, whose task it was to attack the armoury. That was why they were in the forefront of the column.
But all the others, who had only suspected that something was being arranged but didn't know when and how, now found out at the last minute, they began to push and jostle forward, fearing they might be left behind, in this disorderly fashion we reached the gate of Camp I.

Students who struggle with writing often struggle in almost every course. Most instructors assign lots of essays and papers throughout the entire course term. These assignments do not end, even once students focus on their majors during the last two years or when they move onto graduate school. In fact, the nature and number of assignments usually increase. So, writing will be required in all courses, and unless you have complete mastery of the language, culture, and subject matter, are a great natural writer, and have an unlimited amount of time, you will need some professional assistance.
Students who use some other essay writing services often walk away disappointed. Many times, they receive an essay or paper that is so poorly written, it cannot possibly be turned in. Such an outcome will never happen at Trust My Paper. When you ask us to write an essay, you will have an entirely different experience, and you will receive a wholly original and perfectly written piece by the deadline. This is our guarantee to you and every single customer who comes to us for help.

About 13,000 people may have been exposed to the tainted steroid that has been linked to a growing outbreak of fungal meningitis, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Monday. The outbreak has killed 8 people and sickened 97 others in 23 states. More cases are expected.
The figure, the first estimate of how many people were injected with any of the 17,676 doses shipped around the country, is based on reports from state health departments and clinics that used the drug, methylprednisolone acetate. It was injected near the spine to ease back and neck pain, a treatment that about five million people in the United States undergo every year.
The company that made the drug, the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass., has shut down, surrendered its license and recalled all its products, not just the steroid.
The disease centers said that the company began shipping potentially contaminated lots of the drug on May 21, and that people who had the treatment for back pain — called a lumbar epidural steroid injection — after that date should seek medical attention if they develop symptoms like severe or worsening headache, fever, stiff neck, dizziness, weakness, sensitivity to light or loss of balance.
It is not known if all the vials of medicine in the implicated lots were contaminated with the disease-causing fungus, or if everyone exposed to it will become ill. Curtis Allen, the spokesman for the disease centers, predicted that most exposed people would not become sick.Continue reading the main story
But fungal meningitis can be severe and can cause strokes, and early treatment might save a patient's life. Health officials say people who may have been exposed must be tracked down immediately so that those with symptoms can be treated as soon as possible. The treatment consists of an antifungal drug, either voriconazole or amphotericin B, and sometimes both. Months of treatment are needed. Because the drugs can have serious side effects, including kidney problems, they are given only to people who have symptoms, and are not used as a preventive measure in those who are not ill.
This type of meningitis is not contagious. Despite the treatment, some patients are in critical condition, doctors said.
Dr. John Jernigan, a medical epidemiologist at the disease centers, said, "This is a very rare form of meningitis and there is not a great deal of clinical experience with it."
State health departments and pain clinics around the country have been trying to reach patients who received the steroid made by the New England center to warn them of the risk. Tennessee received a "disproportionate" share of the tainted medicine. One pain clinic, at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville, received 2,000 vials. The clinic, the Outpatient Neurosurgery Center, closed on Sept. 20. Statewide, more than 1,000 patients are at risk, the state health commissioner, Dr. John Dreyzehner, said on Monday. He said that public health nurses had worked all weekend and had gone knocking on doors to track down the last 66 of the 1,000.
Dr. Dreyzehner said that public health nurses would be in touch with patients once a week or more until they felt sure that the risk had passed. So far, the incubation period for the disease seems to be between a few days and a month. The first shipments reached Tennessee on June 27, and the treatments were halted on Sept. 18. That means some people are still in the incubation period and could become sick in the coming weeks.
Noting that early treatment is essential, Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University, questioned whether officials had acted as quickly as possible to protect public health. For instance, even though worried doctors and patients around the country were eager to know which product was implicated in the outbreak, officials waited several days to release the name of the New England Compounding Center, saying that to name the company could have compromised their investigation.
"Wouldn't it have been in the public health interest to have released the name of the pharmacy earlier?" Dr. Schaffner asked.
In addition, officials have said that inspectors from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health entered the New England center on Wednesday, Sept. 26. But federal inspectors from the Food and Drug Administration did not go there until the following Monday.
"What happened?" Dr. Schaffner asked. "It's not a crime scene but I would have wanted to take control of that building as quickly as possible."Continue reading the main story

Do Not Argue!
When your love one has Alzheimer's their actions can (and will) make their care partner angry and temperamental, the care partner have to learn to let go of being right.
This may be difficult for many of us with any form of dementia and their care partners. The pharmaceutical companies are trying to help us BUT maybe there is no help…………..maybe this disease can not be prevented or stopped. Maybe the brain is too complex. I like to think on the bright side and have hope but some days it's difficult. So many scientists, so many years with so little to show. I will still keep my faith – miracles do happen.
Twelve "easy" steps – so they say
Yes, I did "borrow" this wonderful article. These "12 ways to Create an Empowering Dementia Environment" is well worth the read. I know from experience several of these work for me – not all and not always – but Tom keeps trying. A care partner's job is not an easy one but then living with any form of dementia is not easy either.
Fooling the Doctor: Cognitive-Reserve Hides Alzheimer's
PLEASE watch this great video. It may answer so many questions I receive – how do you talk and socialize so well. Cognitive Reserve – many of us are able to pull this off. Hence – "You appear so normal." By the way – what is NORMAL??
So Sharron, how are you doing?
For some reason this has not been the best of months. My pain is interfering with living a fun life. The pain is constant but I still keep exercising and walking. My mood is sour but none of you will see that. That is reserved for home.
This beautiful weather makes me anxious to travel. I will have plenty of time to just sit around the house but I want to go while I can. So far that's not working out. Maybe we do need a little break.
Sadness is a hard thing to overcome. It is similar to depression but a feeling all its own. We all have off days but sadness is such a different feeling. I pray for it to be lifted.
On a better note I am looking forward to having a garden on our terrace. We loved our garden years ago and have not had one since. There is nothing like cutting your own lettuce for a salad. I have many pots to plant. That leaves Tom the duty of carrying all that soil to the 4th floor.
HA!!! I wear him down mentally and physically.
BY the Way – I also have many joyous moments. I am still able to drive and shop. I am able to take Tom where he wants to go. I love seeing my youngest grandchildren, Riley and Emma. I love this beautiful weather we have been blessed with. I love my times on our new terrace and at Jamestown Beach. I also love that Spring and Summer are right around the corner.
My life is not all doom and sadness. I thank the Lord for that.
Oldie but Goodie
For those new to my BLOG or have forgotten my December 2015 BLOG (HA – I have!!) I thought this is worth repeating. There are people diagnosed every day with Early Stage Alzheimer's or Mild Cognitive Impairment. These are still so important to me.
So Sharron how are you doing? December 2015
My emotions are all over the place and I can snap in a second.
I get angry at myself for not being able to remember something.
I get angry at Tom for not being able to figure out what I want.
I get upset with new procedures such as figuring out a new phone or computer.
So far I can keep myself under control in public. If I feel uncomfortable, ready to have a meltdown or are in a too crowded area I tell Tom and we leave.
This is the disease. I am not always in control.
I want you to know how I feel
Let me be independent. Let me do as much as possible
Love me as you always did.
Speak directly to me.
Talk to me or read to me. I do not want to lose the ability to talk.
Loving touches are so important.
Continue to let me, or help me do hobbies or activities I enjoy.
I want a say on who helps out – I chose who I do and do not want around when I start progressing.
I want reliable help that I like.
Let me take care of myself while I can – see friends, go out to lunch or dinner.
Keep me engage with family and friends – even if I do not know their names. Have friends and family visit.
Make me feel safe – where I live now.
Celebrate the small things I can do.
Do not treat me like a burden.
One thing to remember is that I am still a person. When I can no longer remember names of family and friends and you talk in front of and around me like I am not there you do not know what is going on in my brain. I may very well understand what you say.
The annual Williamsburg Alzheimer's Walk is only 8 months away but those months will fly by. I have formed a new team, "Hope Crew". People can join my team to walk OR just show support. Joining my team does not mean you have to make a donation (but you sure can). It shows that you care about the cause, finding a cure, a loved one with this disease and ME.
The site below will take you to my home page where you can donate or go to JOIN MY TEAM. Let me know if you have any questions.
As always please share with your friends or family and FOLLOW me for monthly updates. The "FOLLOW" button is on the right side of this page.
Thank you for your love and support.

To celebrate, I have decided to have a giveaway! Yay!
On Friday, May 11th, Keary is hosting a Launch party for What I Didn't Say. And I will be there. (Yay!) The winner of this giveaway will win a copy signed by Keary at the party.
That's right.
I have read this novel, and let me tell you: It is amazing. It made me laugh. It brought tears to my eyes. It is far from the genre I usually read, but I am so happy that I did. You should read it.
Getting drunk homecoming night your senior year is never a good idea, but Jake Hayes never expected it all to end with a car crash and a t-post embedded in his throat.You can watch the book trailer here
His biggest regret about it all? What he never said to Samantha Shay. He's been in love with her for years and never had the guts to tell her. Now it's too late. Because after that night, Jake will never be able to talk again.
When Jake returns to his small island home, population 5,000, he'll have to learn how to deal with being mute. He also finds that his family isn't limited to his six brothers and sisters, that sometimes an entire island is watching out for you. And when he gets the chance to spend more time with Samantha, she'll help him learn that not being able to talk isn't the worst thing that could ever happen to you. Maybe, if she'll let him, Jake will finally tell her what he didn't say before, even if he can't actually say it. (Goodreads)
- This giveaway is only open to US residents.
- Follow the Rafflecopter prompts below. And enter away!
Just enough time for me to contact the lucky winner and get that book signed! Spread the word!

so, i kinda have been in hibernation since kitsune kon because i've been prepping for wizard world chicago (re: rosemont) on the 18th.
and, the final depere art walk of the season which is this friday. (i'm at the abbey, btb. y'all should come see me and my new swaggy print/banner display.)
i have new art up at the ARTgarage (which, evidently, one of the pieces got knocked off and needs to be repaired).
and, i've kinda not been making videos because my laptop kinda hates editing the video, and there's only so much phone-vidding that one can dooooooooooooooooooo~ /o\
but, in regards to con prep, i have so much new stuff!
i have new 11×17″ posters, which i'm so excited about.
i mean, seriously, how can you not want your very own badass eleven?
and, if y'all haven't watched stranger things yet, y'all really should. it's excellent–okay, it has it's problems, but story-wise and aesthetic-wise, it's totally on point.
i kinda lowkey got sucked into pokemon go–and am living in the epic despair of niantic's continuing screw ups in that regard–which made me feel like i needed to watch the show. i'm, like, five episodes in, and i'm kinda??? probably because i was never ever their core demographic. (i keep having a YOU'RE ALL 10 YEARS OLD, WTAF ARE YOU DOING WANDERING THE WORLD ALONE??? makes for a frustrated viewing.)
to save my brain from oozing out my ears in frustration, i've also restarted digimon, which is going much quicker than pokemon. *hands* (i might also be having issues with the aesthetics of pokemon versus the aesthetics of digimon because digimon character designs seem much more complete and thought out than pokemon? also, all the nurses et al. being the same design seems kinda lazy? idk, i'm working on it.)
*segues back to con swag*
i also have copies of a glittering venery for sale (well, part of it), which came out really nice. (they're also for sale in my lulu shop.)
and, so many 1″ buttons!
i mean, some of these are probably only funny to me? but, i guess that's what's really important?
but, because i have kind of a long rest-of-the-year con schedule, here it is:
okay, more things to do.

In a somber ceremony Friday, hundreds of young people killed in Alameda County over the last 23 years were remembered.
A total of 432 names were read aloud during the remembrance inside Hayward City Hall, marking the 432 people 17 years of age or younger who have lost their lives to violence dating back to 1994.
Former Alameda County Supervisor Gail Steele started the memorial as a way to honor the victims and prevent senseless killings moving forward.
"I think it's important to come together to say to those parents we will also remember your children every year and to also say to the community this is not OK," she said.

People who say, "Live in the Moment" must not have kids or a job or a life, right? Yet, it's in our best interest to actually heed those words. Always jumping to "What's Next" robs you of "What's Now."
Living in the moment; Ain't no time for that! I'm so busy, I just passed myself on the interstate.
Forget about living in the moment. We're late! We need to hurry up and do homework,
so we can eat dinner,
so we can get a bath,
so we can get in the bed,
so we can go to work,
so we can start this cycle again tomorrow. Go, Go Go!
One of my kid's 1st words was purple. As I held my breath in anticipation of his 2nd word, training him to say M- A- M- A, what came out instead shook me to the core. With his little blue eyes, standing by the front door, he looked up and said: "Hurry Hurry!" What? I can't document that! You're gonna make me look bad, kid.
If you don't think that haulted life as I knew it . . . 3 kids under 6, working a full time job with a 4th on the way. Apparently, he had been listening. I felt bad, that he had gleaned Hurry Hurry from all the other words and actions I had expressed.
Grab your back packs. Stand by the front door, breakfast in zip lock bags, ready to hit the road. High five-ing football, jumping railroad tracks to get to soccer and lacrosse. Are you throwing kids off at college, so you can get the rest of the crew ready for 1st day of school. Are you hearing me mama's? You know the drill.
I asked the kids how they feel about hurrying from there to there and they felt like it produced chaos and stress. My #3 child gets upset when he's rushed out the door. He needs margin, organization and preparedness to feel on top of things. It's his love language.
Are we present or throwing away the 'best moments' for HURRY MODE. You have a thief in your midst. And his name is: Hurry Hurry.
Time to Establish a Plan:
1. Take a deep breath! Yes, that's right. Breathe!
2 Organize ahead of time. Pack the car the night before. Margin is your Friend.
3. GateKeeper: Fiercely protect "The Moment," not allowing phone calls, texts, and outside forces to interrupt the Hear and Now!
Now Hurry Up . . . and Enjoy!
What ideas do you have for adding more margin and preparedness to your family dynamics?
There is nothing better than to enjoy your food and drink and to find satisfaction in your work. These pleasures are from the hand of God. Eccles. 2:24

The Cobble Street Cousins.
A series of 6 books written by Cynthia Rylant.
This is the sweetest little series of books. I highly recommend it!
Perfect for a little girl who is ready to move from picture books to chapter books.
These are written in a "beginner" chapter book format. Short chapters. Lots of illustrations.
The illustrations are really charming. The illustrator, Wendy Anderson Halperin, did an amazing job.
In addition to the sweet illustrations, the plot lines in these books are so enjoyable for little girls. (and for moms who love darling little stories like these!)
My only complaint about these books is that there are only 6. I wish there were dozens more!
Cobble Street Cousins #1: In Aunt Lucy's Kitchen
Cobble Street Cousins #2: A Little Shopping
Cobble Street Cousins #3: Special Gifts
Cobble Street Cousins #4: Some Good News
Cobble Street Cousins #5: Summer Party
Cobble Street Cousins #6: Wedding Flowers
