Before I go on to the recipe,a small reminder about the $100 giveaway.Take a look and comment on the giveaway post.
Here is mom's version:
Bittergourd,finely diced-1 cup
Toor dhal- 3/4 cup
Tamarind extract-1 tablespoon[thick]
Kootu powder-2 teaspoons
Red chillies-2
Peanuts-a handful
Mustard-1 teaspoons
Curry leaves- a few
Turmeric powder-a pinch
Oil- 1 teaspoons
Salt to taste
- Pressure cook toor dal with enough water till done.Mash lightly and keep aside.
- Microwave the bittergourd in a microwave proof dish.Sprinkle a little water and microwave on high for 8 minutes or till soft.
- Heat oil in a pan and put in mustard,curry leaves,peanuts,redchillies.Fry till the peanuts are roasted.
- Add the bittergourd,diluted tamarind extract,turmeric powder,salt and cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Put in dal and kootu powder and mix well.Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if necessary.
You can roast a pappad on a grill or open flame, crush and add to the kootu for an extra taste.[Deep fried pappad is a big 'no' ]
Note :
- Microwaving the bittergourd reduces the bitterness.You can also use the stove top to cook bittergourd.In that case add bittergourd in step 3 .But more oil has to be added for it to get cooked and lose its bitterness.Simmer in tamarind water till the vegetable is soft.

Storm's power outages persist
More from News
- NEW: Outages in New Jersey are down to 57,000 customers
- Residents on Saturday are waiting for their power to be restored
- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie promises results by Saturday night
- Those on Long Island still in the dark about when power may be restored
(CNN) -- East Coast residents, some of whom have suffered without power for 12 days, waited Saturday for officials to come through on big promises to end the blackouts.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he expects power to be almost fully restored by the end of the day to the approximately 57,000 customers in his state living in the dark.
"Life will be back -- for most of New Jersey -- to normal come Sunday," he said Friday.
One week ago, more than 2.4 million customers were without power in 10 states and the District of Columbia following Superstorm Sandy. This week's nor'easter hampered some of the repairs.
By Saturday, about 225,000 customers remained without power in the region.

The majority of New Jersey's outages are the responsibility of Jersey Central Power & Light. The company's website backed Christie's prediction, with a map showing that most areas will have electricity restored by Saturday night.
Relief was not as certain next door on Long Island, where a majority -- 127,000 -- of customers remained in the dark.
Those homes are served by the Long Island Power Authority, a utility that has come under fire from residents and politicians alike.

Angry customers flooded the company's Facebook page with insults and stories of suffering a cold winter without power. One man redesigned the utility's logo to read "Lie-pa," as opposed to its usual acronym, LIPA.
LIPA officials stressed Saturday that getting people back online is the utility's top priority.
"We all want to get this wrapped up," said LIPA COO Mike Hervey. "We want to get the lights on as quickly as we possibly can."
More than 1 million customers have had their power restored, according to John Bruckner, president of Long Island Electric Transmission & Distribution Services for National Grid.
"We expect to restore 99% of the customers who lost and can safely accept power by the end of day Tuesday," Bruckner said.
Frustration mounts in New York neighborhood
On Friday, local and federal officials who stood to speak before residents in Oceanside, on Long Island, were met with boos and pointed questions about whether they had any power and how comfortable they were.
"What are you doing for us?" some in the crowd shouted.
Braving the boos, Kate Murray, presiding supervisor for the town of Hempstead, suggested residents ask themselves where the utility officials are.
"LIPA is the only entity that can turn on your electricity. Where are they?" she said. "They won't talk to us. We call them every day; they won't give us one answer."
Murray seemed to successfully shift the residents' cries against the politicians into chants of "Where is LIPA? Where is LIPA?"
"LIPA has absolutely abrogated all of its duties," she said. "They should be wiped off the face of the earth."
No one from the utility was present to address the anger. In a written statement, the company said it has more than 8,200 linemen and tree-trimming crews making progress.
"When possible, we will restore power to customers who have been without power for the longest time," the utility said in the statement. "Your safety and well-being remain our No. 1 priority and we thank you for your continued patience during this difficult time."
On Saturday, Bruckner acknowledged the frustration and said utility workers "will not stop" until power is restored to everyone.

In a bid to lower the cost of its Cell processor that powers Sony PlayStation 3 video game system, Sony Corp. plans to utilize version of the chip that is produced using 45nm process technology by Toshiba Corp.
At present Sony PlayStation 3 game console utilizes Cell chip that is made using 65nm process technology, but in order to reduce costs and trim power consumption the company intends to develop 45nm version of the central processing unit. Potentially, low power Cell processor may enable Sony to create a slimmer and smaller PlayStation 3 game system that will also be cheaper to produce. According to Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun news-paper, 45nm Cell will be available already in 2009.
The Cell processor was jointly developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba.
According to slides that IBM demonstrated at International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) earlier this year, power consumption of Cell chip operating at 4GHz produced using 45nm fabrication technology is 42% below the same chip made using 65nm process tech. Moreover, the 45nm chip consumes just about one third of the energy devoured by Cell 4GHz produced using 90nm fabrication process.
The Cell microprocessor incorporates one dual-threaded PowerPC core and eight so-called synergistic processing engines (SPEs) intended for floating-point calculations, the most demanding tasks in entertainment, workstation and server systems. The PowerPC core is projected to have 32KB L1 cache and 512KB L2 cache, while each of the SPEs will have 256KB of cache. The Cell has built-in Rambus XDR memory interface, capable of data rates from 3.20GHz to 8.0GHz. The chip also uses FlexIO processor buses that are capable of running at up to 6.40GHz.

As the market of internal hard disk drives drops following declines in PC business, the market of external storage solutions is on the rise. Keeping this fact in mind, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) said on Tuesday that it had agreed to acquire Fabrik, a privately-held supplier of personal and professional storage solutions, whose leading storage brands include G-Technology and SimpleTech.
"The Fabrik acquisition becomes the cornerstone for the next phase of our business transformation. It strategically expands our market presence, strengthens our product portfolio, and increases our customer base. Fabrik is a key component of our growth and profit strategy going forward and will enable us to deliver a differentiated set of products across a broad range of end-user market segments," said Steve Milligan, president of Hitachi GST.
Fabrik's leading storage brands include G-Technology, offering premium external storage solutions for the Mac, content creation and professional A/V markets; and SimpleTech, an innovative leader in PC-based external storage and backup solutions.
Fabrik's business will continue intact and form the core of Hitachi GST's newly-formed external storage business. Hitachi GST will fully support the G-Technology and SimpleTech product lines, building upon their success and differentiation in the market. The combined company will also leverage operational, technical and product development resources, distribution channels and global reach to accelerate delivery of a full portfolio of traditional hard drives, solid state drives and branded personal and professional storage products.
Industry analyst firm IDC expects worldwide personal storage device shipments to grow from approximately 52 million in 2008 to 123 million in 2012. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. Closing of the acquisition, which is subject to customary conditions, is expected to occur early in the second quarter of 2009.
Mike Cordano, Fabrik chief executive officer and co-founder, will join Hitachi GST as a key member of the executive management team. Mr. Cordano has quite some experience in external storage business, as he was responsible for the launch of "OneTouch" external storage and backup solution, when he worked at Maxtor Corp.
"Hitachi GST provides Fabrik and its customers all the benefits of a vertically integrated company. We gain economies of scale, financial stability, association with a strong brand and a worldwide footprint to accelerate our business growth. We are pleased that Hitachi is building upon our vision and enabling end-users everywhere to enjoy powerful storage solutions that are unequalled when it comes to performance, style, reliability and innovation," said Mike Cordano.

"It's an amazing honor to be named USA Softball Player of the Week in just my first week as a Sun Devil, though overall it was really great to see my team out there getting things done on the field and at the plate," Escobedo said. "We have a long season ahead of us and I need to continue to stay focused and do my thing as we make each step towards all of our goals for this season."
Escobedo opened up play with two wins against Western Michigan and Cal Poly. When Cal Poly tied up the score in the top of the seventh, Escobedo came in for the final out of the seventh and then kept runs off the board in the eighth to help secure a 6-5 victory.
"This is a huge honor for Dallas and for any player, regardless of what year they are in their career, and she is deserving of the honor after the performances she put in last weekend," ASU's Head Coach Clint Myers said. "She's a competitor through and through and knows that there is still a lot of work on her and everyone's end as well to bring ASU towards the fulfillment of the goals we have set this season. If last weekend is any indicator, she seems primed to help round out an amazing pitching staff and she isn't going to rest until those goals have been achieved."
Escobedo's best performance came against ranked opponents then-No. 22 Oklahoma State and then-No.6 Oklahoma. She recorded 11 strikeouts against both teams, shutting out Oklahoma State 1-0, on a two-hit performance. She allowed six hits and three runs against Oklahoma for her fourth win and second complete game. On the week she worked 18.1 innings, allowing opponents a .143 batting average.
The Sun Devils are currently ranked No. 9 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll, also released today by the ASA.

Topic: YAML Serialization from ActiveRecord?
Is this an efficient way to store a catalog (a permanent list of items that other more short-lived models will access from time to time)?

Is this an efficient way to store a catalog (a permanent list of items that other more short-lived models will access from time to time)?
I've done this in PHP and found it to be a pain. I am currently doing something similar in rails. Your question is very open. I think you need to ask yourself how often it will be accessed and will data need to be changed frequently. But really you have to decide wether there are any advantages to doing it this way and not just plunking it all into a table.
for instance I'm doing a gaming match app. where users can sign up for games. and I'm putting all the users who signed up for a match into an array, and putting it in the db, instead of refering user_id's to a rosta table, because when users leave, and I want the db to be cleaned out of non active accounts you can still see who played what match. so there is an advantage for me in this instance, so its efficiant.

In my case, it's going to be a table of possible skills a player can have, and a player either will or won't have the skill. The table will never change, except maybe during beta. I was just wondering if this is something that is -never- done, for some reason, before I commit to it. Thanks for your help.

John Braloski or Chris Lute at the DHSS warehouse will send an email to the WIC coordinator when the equipment is shipped. The email will tell the coordinator in which box (if there is more than one box in the shipment) the pink copy is located, that the equipment should arrive within two business days and that the agency should retain the pink copy for their records. You should file the pink copies so they are available if state WIC staff asks to see them.

Please remember: Missouri WIC only allows the 64 ounce (1/2 gallon) containers of approved juices for children 1 year old and up to the child's 5th birthday.

Skip to comments.ROBIN Roberts was worried Barack Obama would out her as a lesbian.
Posted on 05/11/2012 1:17:29 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
ROBIN Roberts was worried Barack Obama would out her as a lesbian.
According to a Gawker report, the ABC news anchor who scored the President Obama gay marriage interview wasnt overly enthusiastic about the scoop because she thought it would bring her own sexuality to the forefront.
Most of the discussions [among TV people] today about why Robin got the interview have to do with her being gay, a source said.
Not that shes black, or friends of the Obamas.
Obviously they picked her because shes black and gay.
(Excerpt) Read more at showbizspy.com ...
Robin Roberts a lesbian? Shocking.
Next thing you're going to tell me is that Rachel Maddow is a lesbian.
What seems to be her problem, unless she thinks her privelege class status should be diminished were it Romney become Potus? I think she's worried, and so the F what.
I take it she is the femme version. She doesn't come off like a bull.
Oh, that robin Roberts. Never mind
I ain't going to tell you that. I fear having my butt kicked.
Although it might explain why Rachel never returned any of my calls.
It's pretty much an open secret, she seems reluctant to come out probably because she doesn't want the issue to define her.
Why would she be afraid of beint outed? I thought being homosexual was a fine, noble thing and that it's a perfectly normal way to live your life? /sarc
Good grief, who doesn't know she's gay?
What a coincidence...
A lesbo trying to get the pres_ent to trumpet the joys of homosexuality who is afraid the pres_ent will drag her ass "out of the closet" and expose her as being a homosexual? That's weird. Typical commie lib "interview".
Did you need help getting an engine block out? Call Martina and play salsa music in the background.
Robin Roberts and Rachel Maddow are match made in LGBT Heaven (my San Francisco Hell).
Who is Robin Roberts?
Guy wins 286 games in his career, elected to the hall of fame and he's worried about being outted 2 years after his death ?
oh wait...never-mind.
Your secret is safe with us Robin. (wink wink)
????? More stories from the twilight zone. Don't out her as a lesbian but this story outs her as a lesbian. My name is Louis Cruz. But you can call me Loose Screws.
An ABC news anchor, who got her job, and 'scored' the interview with Obama on gay marriage, mainly because she's BLACK and GAY.
I guess its a good thing he didn't say it, so nobody will know.
Are there any straight people at all in the newsmedia anymore? It seems almost as bad as Hollywood. I'll never forget that bit of Anderson Cooper going into a girly giggling fit over something to do with Gerard Depardeau. I actually caught it live on air by accident while flipping through the channels. It was ghastly.
Just catching glimpses of the various networks coverage of Obama going "homo" this week, and the news anchors were acting not just excited, but downright aroused. It was beyond embarrassing.
Gotta sell that laundry detergent (or whatever SHOWBIZSPY.com hosts to provide revenue). Remember, for these 'stars', the only BAD PUBLICITY is NO PUBLICITY.
If the 'case' had been that a white heterosexual conservative male was picked to interview the head of our country... would anyone have bothered to write a story, and would you read it ?
There was no way a boy growing up in the Vanderbilt household was going to come out straight.
I don't even know who she is.
I was thinking the same thing. Do they have a handshake or something so they can tell themselves apart in the gen-pop.
Yeah but Ophrey ain,t a "newser"
What? Rachel Maddow is a female? I thought 'she' was Joe Scarborough's masculine brother.
Translation: Even the MSM knows that Obama will throw them under the bus if it is in Obama's best interest.
I thought it was Justine Beebers Daddy
They have gay-dar.
First I remember about Robin Roberts was when she was co-hosting the NFL Sunday evening wrapup show with Chris Berman, in about 1984 or 85.
Oprah is from Mississippi. Perhaps you're on to something!
Oprah is from Mississippi. Perhaps you're on to something!
LOL! The untalented Robin Roberts, not the talented Phillies star from the 1950s/early 60s.
Oh sure, next they'll try to tell us that Rachel Maddow is a water containment system in Holland!
Oh man! That creeps me out!!!
Also I think having his brother kill himself may have damage old Anderson Vandebrilt psyche too
Elizabeth Warren told everyone she was an Indian so she could get ahead.
Soon people will get ahead by being queer.
Affirmative action for Fudge packers.
Well then there is Trent Lott also.
One committed suicide and other is gay.
Steroids much?!
Yeah I was shocked as well.....(sarc).....

Edmonton Stays Perfect, Tops Minnesota on Road
from Press Release
The Edmonton Rush (7-0) became just the third team in league history to open a season with seven-straight wins with a 14-9 road victory over the Minnesota Swarm (1-6) in front of a crowd of 7,195 at Xcel Energy Center on Saturday evening. The Rush opened the game with three unanswered goals and never looked back.
The only other teams that have started a season 7-0 are the 1993 and 1996 Buffalo Bandits. Both teams went on to win the championship in those respective years.
The Rush took charge of the game right away and their defense demanded every last ounce of effort from the Swarm team.
"That was the defense that we were expecting to see tonight," said Swarm assistant coach Bobby Keast. "They haven't lost a game for a reason and they showed it."
"I think it always starts with our defense," said Edmonton general manager and head coach Derek Keenan. "They're a pretty dominant group."
Rooting the Edmonton defense was Goalie Aaron Bold with 37 saves on 46 shots - a strong factor in the Rush victory.
"Bold was solid," said Keenan. "He's been outstanding all year, he's taken it to another level."
The second quarter saw more penalties than goals. Edmonton was able to notch two, thanks to Jarrett Davis (1-1) and former Swarm player Nik Bilic (1-2). Minnesota came up empty in the goal department but committed two of the three fouls of the quarter.
"I thought we ran the floor extremely well tonight," said Keenan. "I thought we did some nice things on offense."
The game started to pick up again in the third quarter with a dominating four-goal streak from Edmonton, including two by Jeremy Thompson (3-1). The Swarm were unable to answer until Logan Schuss (2-1) was able to connect with a power play goal. The glory was soon lost as the Rush's Chris Corbeil (1-0) scored to end the quarter with a score of Edmonton 12, Minnesota 4.
Despite an inspiring fourth quarter performance of outscoring the Rush 5-2, the Swarm were unable to turn the game their way.
"We got a little bit loose," said Keenan. "They started to wear us out a little bit there."
Charged with a surge of athleticism, Callum Crawford (2-6) lead the fourth quarter charge with a notch that marked his 175th career goal. Jordan MacIntosh (3-2) contributed to the run by completing his hat trick.
"Callum actually took the offense on his shoulders and said 'come on boys let gets this done'," said Keast. "And you know what, I think that inspired others to play just as hard."
The energy perpetuated to narrow the gap and leave the final score 14-9.
The Rush outshot the Swarm by just one, with a total of 47 shots for Edmonton and 46 for Minnesota. A positive note for the Swarm is the four goals they produced on six of their power plays, while holding Edmonton to zero of their six power play attempts. But it will take more than a bit of positive to win in the National Lacrosse League and Minnesota is well aware.
"With a young group you gotta try to find that groove and they just haven't found that groove yet," said Keast. "It's gotta be a bigger step, it can't be baby steps anymore."
"The only solution is in our dressing room right now," said Swarm forward Callum Crawford. "We're hoping to find that solution."
Three Stars of the Game as selected by the media:
1) Aaron Bold
2) Callum Crawford
3) Jeremy Thompson
Both Minnesota and Edmonton will go on to face Toronto. The Swarm will visit the Air Canada Centre on Saturday, February 22nd at 7 p.m. ET and the Rush will enjoy a week off before hosting the Rock on Friday, February 28th at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Disney Character Artist, Chris Oatley, shares insights into learning from your failures, knowing when you've learned everything you can from the piece of art you are working on and knowing when to move on. Oatley says, "Works of art abandoned for frustration, self-doubt and depression are needless casualties of a needless war."
According to Oatley, the process of art-making is basically just a sequence of problems with corresponding solutions that begins with an idea or an inspiration and ends with a finished piece of art. Instead, he suggests that artists look at the rocky patches they hit during the creative process as a measure of progress.
His final piece of advice is, "Art problems are external. Don't internalize them. Don't blame yourself for their existence."
What 'rocky patches' have you hit during the creative process and how did your solve them?

In a span of 48 hours, the SEC has been eliminated from NIT, but has all three teams still alive in the NCAA tournament. Most of the time, it's the other way around.
Missouri started the downfall off, by being eliminated by Southern Miss on Sunday evening.
Arkansas and LSU would swiftly follow Monday night, at the hands of California and SMU.
LSU appeared to have a five-point lead, going into halftime, but fell apart in the second half. Click here for the full recap.
After being one of the most criticized conferences in men's basketball, the SEC has quietly had success this postseason.
The tables are turned, in the sense that more teams are finding success in the major tournament than in the NIT.
There's even a possibility that two SEC teams could meet for the National Championship.
As they continue to bring some of the top coaches into the conference and build off their post-season success, the SEC is slowly catching up to their football standards.

Patsy's does not, and has never used wild yeast (starter culture). What Jeff collected was wild yeast from his own kitchen that grew on dough that he brought back from Patsy's. I could be wrong, but I think Jeff himself has even confirmed this elsewhere on the forum.Now this does not mean that what Jeff is using is not an amazing top notch starter (knowing that guy I am sure that it is!), but it just means that you might have just as much luck collecting your own wild starter in your own kitchen.

- In a city in the not to distant future, an orphan is saved by a group of kids called the Supernaturalists. They all have a psychic ability to see and connect to life leeching parasites.
- Long Synopsis:
- In the not-too-distant future, in a place called Satellite City, thirteen-year-old Cosmo Hill is unfortunate enough to come into the world unwanted by his parents. And so, as are all orphaned boys his age, Cosmo is dipped in a vaccine vat and sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys-freight class. At Clarissa Frayne, the orphans, called "no-sponsors," are put to work by the state, testing dangerous products that never should be allowed near human beings. By the time the no-sponsors are sent to their cardboard utility pipes, given their nightly meal pack, and finally fall asleep, they are often covered in burns, bruises, or sores from the work of the day. Cosmo Hill knows that he must escape, even though he has no idea what might be waiting for him on the outside. He plans for the moment when he can make a break. When that moment finally comes, he nearly dies while escaping. But he is rescued by a gang of "Supernaturalists," a motley crew of kids who all have a special psychic ability-one that Cosmo is about to learn he has as well. They "see" supernatural Parasites-tiny, translucent creatures who feed on the life force of humans.

Old thinking for a new yearPosted Friday, January 23, 2009, at 3:24 PM
A recent comment on my last blog made me realize how "hide bound" my thinking has become these days. I seem to have fallen into a bog, a swampland of mundane ideas and foggy thoughts, a wasteland of overused platitudes as ill-fitting as the sloppy over-sized flannel pants that my friend Emma brought me from the thrift store. I don't want to get out of my comfy pants, big sweatshirts and worn out mind-set.
I need to embark on a house-cleaning project which encompasses my entire life style! I need to quit eating the old foods, going to the same old places, reading the same tired ideas. I need to get up out of my favorite over-sized chair, push my favorite cat off my lap, get on the treadmill, and walk myself into a stupor!
I need to take my brain out, hold it in my hands, dunk it in a big bucket of bleach, and then wring it out till it's nearly dry - put it in the sun and let it burn to a bright beet red, and then see if I can get it back in my head.
I need to clean out my car. Take it to that big outside vacuum cleaner at the car wash, and vacuum up everything short of my old tennis shoes. I'll bet I have stuff that's been lurking under the front seats for four durned years! I'll bet if I lift up that middle seat, I'll find a whole family of field mice in there amidst their chewed-up Kleenex beds, eating old puppy biscuits and ibuprofen tablets that I've dropped between the cracks.
I need to polish my shoes. I look like a bag lady, scuffling around in my worn out S.A.S. Free Spirit walking shoes.
I need to get new glasses that I can SEE out of! I can't read the signs along the highway, can't see the television, can't see who I'm calling on my cell phone. I feel as if I'm swimming under water, and the world is passing me by. I need to get on board the boat before it takes off without me and I'm left to wander aimlessly in the wilderness forever.
I need to get an Alzeimer's check up, if there is such a thing. I can walk from the kitchen to the laundry room and forget what I went for. "Retrace your steps," they advise me. For Pete's sake, how many trips do I need to make, back and forth - back and forth! I've started repeating the name of the item aloud on the trip: "Trash bags...trash bags...trash bags..."
My daughter says I need to save electricity by using more nite lights and turning off the big lights, so this weekend I went through drawers looking for the old nite lights. But how will I remember to get new bulbs?
I need an answering machine. I'm tired of people not being able to reach me by phone unless they happen to have my cell phone number (and I do not want just anyone to have that!) I bought a new machine the other day, and I'll hook it up this weekend. At least I'll have messages until the first lightning storm or power surge - and then I'll have to go get another one.
I'm tired of my hair. I get up in the morning looking as if I combed it with an egg beater. I'm tired of the color. I want something exciting - maybe bright red with purple streaks.
I'm tired of my clothes. I want something bright purple. And GREEN. Bright green. Orange would be good, too.
I want warm weather to be here. I'm tired of the cold. I'm tired of carrying wood and starting fires that don't want to start. I'm tired of wearing two pairs of long socks and still having feet that are freezing. I think I need electric shoes.
I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing wrinkles. I want some make-up that'll take me away like the Calgon bath commercial.
From the dreary office of the North Stoddard Countian in downtown Advance, this is your raving rural reporter Madeline, signing off on another endless winter's day. If you don't hear from me again soon, I may have gone to visit my friend Juanita in Hawaai...

Madeline Dejournett's response:Oh, wow! One of my very favorite former students out there in college, getting a degree in.....opthamology, is it? I can hardly wait to see you in practice! (If I can still see by then!) Those blue eyes of yours will be a welcome sight, for sure!
I'll try to stay on the road and avoid the ditches till then.
I think we all need to 'turn over a new leaf', this one is getting worn ragged. A new everything would be great. I'm tired of winter, cold, wind, cold, clouds, cold and just being cold.
I can recommend new glasses, I've seen new road signs that I never realized were there before. Driving by memory can be dangerous sometimes. Even had the doctor vacuum my ears and now don't need a hearing aid, see sometimes some information can be too much. With new eyes and ears again I feel like I'm 39.
Let us know how all the improvements work out, it'll be interesting.
I give this topic 4 hours to become political. Just kidding of course.

Madeline Dejournett's response:Dexterite, you are a jewel! Thanks for cheering me up on this cold Saturday morning. I'm going to work hard today to improve my attitude.
Surely the rowdies can't do anything with this one...
OH GOOD LORD,Girlfriend, If you haven't been to a good ophthamologist, please do so!! I spent more than a normal amount of time trying to figure out why I couldn't see!! Bi-Lateral cataracts, both oil-film and nuclear, had me walking around trying to look at the world through wax paper!! I'm 60-plus in age. I can hook you up with one of the premier cataract surgical teams in the Universe, Kansas University School of Medicine, Opthamology Dept, on State Line Road here in KC!! I have doctors names and their appointments are precious!! The chief of opthalmic surgery and his golden boy resident did mine and **** am I glad I had the intro to get to their expertise!!
It was like having the scales fall away from my eyes when I took off the bandages!! It is snowing up here now, and I can't find it within myself to offer any other bits of wisdom, but **** IT IS CHILLY!!!. Madeline, I'm not familiar with the location of the "Tillman Hills", please refresh my memory as to that topographical locale relative to MO 25 and the city limits of Advance, east/west/north/south, I have cousins from Dudley to Bell City so it shouldn't be a stretch for me to find that locality when prompted logically.
I will leave you with something that might apply to conversations which I have observed in the blogosphere, from our part of the world, and that being:
"Locks are fine for doors and such, to keep the bums away, but tie us down and burn us Lord, the day, we lock away our minds" (c)KKR 11/29/74
Regards to the Bootheel, and I have yet begun to hold forth from the icy ridges of eastern Kansas, and I'm not a Jayhawker, just a Jayhawk fan..... GO KU...kkcaver, DHS65

Madeline Dejournett's response:kk, you have given me a wealth of wisdom, my dear! I shall get myself to an opthamologist forthwith! Cataracts are exactly what I suspect!
Tillman is about halfway between Advance & Bell City, so you may have been in the area before - on a trip to see one of your cousins. I cover the Bell City area as part of my "beat," and it's a hop, skip, & a jump over there from here.
Only thing left of old Tillman is the Pleasant Hill Church, a sweet little former-Methodist church with a bell tower, lovingly maintained by the Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Church Association. They don't have services there anymore.
I am so sorry, finally I am becoming comfortable with what I am. Old wrinkles, memory loss, poor eye sight and everything else.

Madeline Dejournett's response:You are wise beyond your years, I.B.!
I'm young and in the same sort of slump! Maybe after my surgery Monday, and after the 6-8 week healing process, I'll feel well enough to turn over a new leaf myself. Wish me luck!

Madeline, et.al.... Lord loves those with CRS disease... you can calculate that "CAN'T REMEMBER SH--!!.. There are good number of optho's in CAPE, and if they can't get you in, try William Godfrey, KU Eye Center, 7600 State Line Road, KC, MO. The chief of surgery is John Sutphin, M.D. for the center, and Ryan Christiansen is his resident golden boy, both know what they're doing, and Ryan is a fisherman!!!My daughter had apoplexy when she met Ryan, and she's 37!! Cougar time, and I told her to stand down!! Take care down there, and get a diagnosis soonest, I struggled for a couple of years not knowing what I was facing, and when I cleared it up it was all the world of difference!! I had a cousin who had folks who lived out east of Advance, then south thru the hills, and it was like a different world, but if you know any of the Hart boys in that area you know my kinfolk from around B.C., second cousins on my Mom's side. Take care among the ridges, and get them peepers checked!! I've got phone numbers if you don't get good answers down there!! kkr

What about me and the others Dolphin, can we hold it down too? Good luck......

Good Lord, you'll blow it up - not hold it down! I am sure Dolphin didn't intend to leave you in charge while she's gone!
But it's sweet of you to wish her luck. (uncharacteristically sweet...but nonetheless...)

Oh Maddie, I seem to have the same concerns that you have, only my children tell me to stop whining. Just wait till they get a little age on them. I resisted bifocals for at least a decade. My hair used to be several colors at the same time...now it's just dull old brown. I used to buy my shoes at a place called the Wild Pair. Now if they don't have something at Nearly Perfect then I go without. Hence, my choices in the closet are limited! I adore cotton and flannel. Nuff said. While I was watching my older kids grow up, I seem to have acquired way too many wrinkles to suit me! And you could start another blog about this ice storm! It sure is a good thing that we can blog away our troubles...or at least vent about them!! Hope you are doing well, Dolphin. I'm sending healthy vibes your way!

when i first blogged on to this site i thought i would hear of some home town news (or at least some news) all i hear is like a flash back to the late 60's when you happen to pick up on a party line on the phone. it's just a nonstop party line. i was hoping that since the new year has come maybe someone would start a blog on the real issues of home town people.

Madeline Dejournett's response:U.S. Traveler, sorry about that, but check out my profile: I don't live in Dexter anymore. Haven't lived there since high school, so Dexter isn't REALLY my "beat" anymore - even though I maintain an active interest in my old hometown.
As for that lively blogger known as "Gonenow," her name says it all. She lives in another state now.
There's usually lots of information in the regular stories -- especially Noreen Hyslop's articles. She's the Statesman editor/writer, and she does a very good job, in my opinion.
Keep checking!
Thanks for all the good vibes and such. We have power back now, and I've been home since Wednesday trying to get better. I never realized surgery was such a rough process. I can't imagine how so many people actually VOLUNTEER to have what the good Lord has given them changed to suit America's idea of beautiful! I have a few complaints...but I will NEVER change the way I look. God Bless you all...hope more people get power tomorrow.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (185 votes).
In short: 3.25 laps of the race track was a bit dull, but we all new what to expect . Plenty of over taking room so no problem for slow runners or bigginers.. Yes the Duathlon is the main event, to be expected . Nice tee shirt and goodie bagDate of review: November 25, 2007
In short: First time at this one; good day out in ideal weather, ruined for me personally by an overambitious start. Three and a bit laps, plus plenty of car parking, makes it very spectator-friendly.Date of review: November 25, 2007
In short: Great outing for my first 10K, the weather made it great, but everything else seemed to go like clockwork. Very friendly and helpful for beginners, nice flat track, but enough scenic interest to stop it being boringDate of review: November 25, 2007
In short: flat and fast, nice to keep feet dry this time of year.Date of review: November 25, 2007
In short: well organised race, nice facilities, cheerful organising team! Could have done with the awards a bit sooner after the finish though. In full: The 10k seemed to be the poor relation to the duathlons, but thats fair enough as it was mainly a bike/run race I guess. Not a criticism of the organisers at all - just the way it felt to me.Date of review: November 25, 2007
In short: Great PB potential!Date of review: November 25, 2007
In short: Good venue, shame about the heat...In full: Starting at 10am on a hot August day caused problems; having started at 9am might have been better, as the heat decimated the slower runners like me.Date of review: August 18, 2007
In short: pb course chip well organised definatley do againDate of review: August 17, 2007
In short: that was hotIn full: 3 laps was a bit repetitious but it was flat you were given the goody bag and t shirt at the START strange?Date of review: August 8, 2007
In short: A shadeless motor racing track in August - what was I thinking?In full: Organisation was fine but running 3 times around a track isn't the most exciting thing. And in the weather I should have entered something off road with some hills and shadeDate of review: August 8, 2007

A few years from now, folks will be walking down Pleasant Street in Framingham past yet another subdivision of overpriced homes on cul-de-sacs.� "In the old days," one will say to the other, "there was a retreat here for Catholic priests.� It had grand, 1930s-vintage buildings, open green lawns and playing fields, tree-lined lanes… Around back, there was an amphitheater of sorts, a shrine backed by a tall stone wall, where the priests would have services and prayer. It was a grand spot, an oasis of green, a bit of history, that really made our neighborhood special.
"But the neighbors didn't appreciate it. When a doctor came around with a plan to save the Marist campus and turn it into a place for healing, they stormed the ZBA, demanding that "the integrity of the neighborhood" required that lovely spot be bulldozed and replaced by more homes, more garages, more cars.
"You know, Framingham isn't the pleasant community it used to be, even here on Pleasant Street."

Ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for their ballasts
The annual electricity consumption of fluorescent lamps without integrated ballasts and high-intensity discharge lamps is extremely high in the European Union (EU). It is predicted to increase to 260 TWh in 2020, according to European Commission estimates. This consumption is at the heart of several environmental issues such as the increase in CO2 emissions. Moreover, the inappropriate outdoor use of these lamps increases both light pollution and the energy consumption of lighting. This Regulation therefore sets ecodesign requirements for these products with a view to reducing their environmental impact.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 245/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast, for high intensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps, and repealing Directive 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance).
This Regulation lays down the ecodesign rules applicable to certain types of lamps to be used for general lighting, specifically:
- fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast *;
- high intensity discharge lamps *;
- ballasts * and luminaires * able to operate such lamps.
Ecodesign requirements
This Regulation defines ecodesign requirements in three progressive stages (2009, 2012 and 2017), each representing a gradual increase in the targets and/or extending the scope of the requirements to new sub-categories of products. These requirements concern:
- lamps: they must meet efficacy, performance and information requirements. The different types of lamps must reach a certain luminous efficacy in each wattage category, and meet lamp life and lamp lumen maintenance requirements. Furthermore, manufacturers of lamps are required to provide information concerning, in particular, the wattage, lamp lumen, efficacy, maintenance factor, mercury content, colour rendering index and colour temperature of the lamps.
- ballasts: they must meet energy performance and information requirements. When the lamps are switched on, the ballasts must comply with minimum efficacy thresholds. In addition, the power consumption of fluorescent lamp ballasts shall not exceed 1.0 W when the connected lamps are switched off. Manufacturers of ballasts are required to provide information on the energy efficiency index of products.
- luminaires: they must meet energy performance and information requirements. When the lamps are switched on, the power consumption of the luminaires for fluorescent lamps shall not exceed that of the incorporated ballasts. Manufacturers of luminaires are required to provide information on the efficiency of all ballasts and lamps sold with a luminaire, as well as maintenance and disassembly instructions.
Conformity assessment
Manufacturers or their representatives are required to carry out a conformity assessment before placing an energy-using product on the market.
Verification procedures for market surveillance purposes
Member State authorities shall apply market surveillance procedures regarding:
- lamps: tests are carried out on a sample batch of a minimum of twenty lamps of the same model from the same manufacturer. The average results must not vary from the limit, threshold or declared values by more than 10 %.
- ballasts and luminaires: tests are carried on one single unit. The results obtained must not exceed the limit values. Otherwise, three more units shall be tested.
Indicative benchmarks
This Regulation establishes indicative benchmarks applicable to the performance of products covered by this Regulation, and to installations using these same products. These benchmarks are established particularly with a view to limiting the light pollution caused by public lighting installations.
This Regulation repeals Directive 2000/55/EC.
Key terms of the Act
- Fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast: a discharge lamp of the low pressure mercury type in which most of the light is emitted by one or several layers of phosphors excited by the ultraviolet radiation from the discharge, single and double capped without integrated ballast.
- High intensity discharge lamps: a lamp in which the light is produced, directly or indirectly, by an electric discharge through a gas, a metal vapour or a mixture of several gases and vapours, and in which the light producing arc is stabilised by wall temperature and the arc has a bulb wall loading in excess of 3 watts per square centimetre.
- Ballast: a device which serves mainly to limit the current of the lamp(s) to the required value.
- Luminaire: an apparatus which distributes, filters or transforms the light transmitted from one or more light sources and which includes all the parts necessary for supporting, fixing and protecting the light sources and, where necessary, circuit auxiliaries together with the means for connecting them to the supply, but not the light sources themselves.

Yesterday, only 4 TeaChatters indicated they took tea to mom's on Mother's Day. 25 said that it was just a normal day. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
Welcome everyone to TeaDay. You are all invited to share what is in your cup through out the day. Half the fun is seeing what is in everyone else's cup as well. If you need to, you can reflect back on your TeaDay as well.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic was suggested by Galileo's Daughter who asked whether you ever throw out tea that was sooo bad...so bad that you did not want to even give it to someone else. Share your experience with really bad tea that was not fit for consumption...yikes, and what was it?
I am looking forward to seeing everyone on TeaDay!
