Kim Kardashian Gives Birth to a Girl!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kim Kardashian has finally gone off script:
Multiple sources confirm the reality star gave birth this afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to a baby girl, born five weeks early and with both her parents in the room.
Yes, despite reports to the contrary, Kanye West was present for the life-changing event, even canceling his appearance at an album release party to be by Kim's side after she checked in to the hospital last night because she felt ill.
This is the first child for both halves of the couple and we'll update this post when details such as name and weight come in.
For now: CONGRATULATIONS KIMYE!

Crema — a Mexican cultured heavy cream similar to sour cream — is often drizzled over enchiladas and tostadas and added to side dishes and sauces. Here it lends a tangy balance to rich avocado and sweet corn.
Leave a Review
Great recipe, will definitely make again!
I made this soup for my somewhat discerning cooking club group, and it was a huge success. It is as beautiful as it is delicious. It is a bit time consuming but worth it, and a bonus that much of the prep work can be done in advance.
A lovely dish. It presents very well and has a great flavor profile from first taste to lingering finish. I make this fairly often once the weather gets hot. Today it was hot where I live (90 F) so I made a double batch for a dinner party where I was directed to make the first course. Having hass avocados on sale this week was a bonus and the ones I bought three days ago are now perfect. And fresh corn was on sale and perfect. I use a chinois to separate the solids and that helps getting the most flavor from the broth whilst making the final soup very smooth. The first time I made this I used a basket strainer and the back of a soup spoon to press out the liquid. That was not fun and very time consuming. The one thing about this recipe that is annoying is the repeated use of a blender. I use a Cuisinart Classic and I have to wash it several times in the process. And when making a double batch much of the pureeing has to be done in multiple lifts. I bought a second "bowl" for my Cuisinart just for making this recipe to cut down on having to "wash dishes" in the middle of cooking.
Oh yes, forgot to say in my other review, that I was a little afraid about the serrano pepper, believe they are very hot. I used a dried guajillo, a whole one for this half recipe, and it worked out great.
Made this for just two people; results were fantastic. Used one cob of corn but half the water, half an avocado in the soup and another half for the little balls you put in the bowl. I used a bit too much lime juice with the avocado balls, will use less next time.. This is a gourmet soup, superb, but be prepared to give it some time. I was on my feet for two and a half hours...although I was also making a salad to go with it (the epi potato and tomato salad recipe, q.v., a great accompaniment) and doing up my dishes as I went. But it is truly labor intensive although worth it, once in a while.
No fork rating because I modified the recipe - I used 4 ears of corn, skipped the cilantro oil, and didn't add raw onion in the blender. But what we ended up with was fantastic, and I imagine the original recipe would also be scrumptious.
This soup is incredibly delicious, and the cilantro oil sends it to another level!!
Wonderful! Adjustments: I added a roated Pablano instead of the serrano and did not add the raw onions. I served it around a mango salsa with crab meat and topped it w/ crispy tortilla strips.
This was an outstanding starter for a summer dinner party! However, I followed recommendations from other reviewers: increased corn from 1 to 3 ears, used 1-1/2 serrano chiles and did NOT sieve solids from final soup. I pureed the heck out of it with a stick blender, so it was extremely smooth--it had a lovely texture. Removing the solids is also very time consuming--skipping this step saves a lot of time. I roasted the corn on top of the stove in a grill pan--worked fine and may have been a little less charred this way. Chiles are not always labeled in supermarkets--and serrano chiles are green and a little longer than jalapenos. I do NOT recommend making this soup one day ahead--with the avocado, it will start to turn a little gray, even with tight plastic wrap on top. However, you can make it ahead up through the part where corn is cooked, cobs removed, and pureed with chiles and onions. Then refrigerate and pick up later with addition of avocados. I also found that the cilantro oil could be made the day before and refrigerated. It keeps much longer than 3 hours. I found that a double recipe served 10 people. If you strain out the solids, there will be less volume and may serve fewer people. I also recommend buying twice the number of avocados needed, so that you can cut out bad spots without running short. Finally, I found the crema/water mixture too thin--and added more crema so that it wasn't as soupy. If you cut the avocado up quickly while assembling, you don't need to put it in lime juice--I just chopped the avocado to speed up assembly and put it on top of crema and cilantro oil.
Loved this soup. For 8 people, I used 8 ears of corn, 4 cups water and 4 cups chicken stock. Like others, I also sauted the onion and garlic. I used 2 serrano chiles, 4 avocado and 6 tablespoons of lime juice. For the cilantro oil 3 cups of cilantro, 3/4cup olive oil and 2 tsp salt. I added diced grilled shrimp,cilantro, poblano, grilled onion and blue corn torilla chips. It was FABULOUS! A must make!

Bake Along #21 - Fresh Strawberry Cake with White Chocolate Chips
This is one lovely cake , a good snacking cake that i have enjoyed eating. Me, Joyce and Zoe have agreed to this choice for our bake along and i like how the strawberries were sliced and mixed in through the cake. I'm also glad that the slices did not all sink to the bottom of the cake and that my cake did not turn out pink, the little tip is that to toss the strawberries with a little flour before folding them into the batter. Moist and not too rich, i would think many of you here would enjoy eating this too.
Recipe ( from Cake Keepers Cakes by Lauren Chattman)
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup sour cream ( i used yogurt this time)
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest ( omitted )
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
187gm unbleached all purpose flour ( i used cake flour)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda ( i used 1/2 tsp)
1/4 tsp salt
85gm unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar ( used 100gm)
8 oz strawberries, stemmed and sliced
1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks ( used 100gm)
1.Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease an 8 inch square baking poan and dust with flour, knocking out any extra. Combine the egg, egg yolk, sour cream, lemon zest and vanilla in a large glass and lightly beat. Combine 1 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Combine the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and cream with an electric mixer on medium high speed until flufy, abt 3mins, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice.
3.With the mixer on low speed, pour the egg mixture into the bowl in a slow stream, stopping the mixer once or twice to scrape down the bowl.
4.Put the mixer on low speed and add the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, scarping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. After the last addition, mix for 30seconds on medium speed.
5.Combine the strawberries and remaining 1/4 cup of flour in a med bowl and toss to coat. Fold the flour covered strawberries along with the white chocolate chips onto the batter.
6.Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until the cake is golden and a cake tester inserted in comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Let the cake cool in pan for 5 mins, invert cake and turn right side up on a rack to cool completely. Cut into 9 squares and serve.
Have you try making creme brulee? I'm excited cos i havent made them before and i will be making them soon. If you also want to try making creme brulee, join us for our next bake along on April 10, 2012.
The link will be opened for 7 days starting April10.

I would not mind eating the whole thing!ReplyDelete
Lena, when Wendy mentioned that you live 40 minutes away from her place, I was guessing could it be Ipoh? Bingo! So you do live in Ipoh, great, next time we can meet up. My mum lives in Taiping.

With each new scandal, Obama or his spokesperson says that they're going to fix it and make sure it never happens again.
They actually are doing something about whistleblowers:Their newest weapon is a program called "Inside Threat," which, according to McClatchy, is designed not to just to clamp down on classified leaks, but rather to make sure ANY unauthorized disclosure of ANY information that make them look bad will leave a mark on the miscreant leaker."President Barack Obama's unprecedented initiative, known as the Insider Threat Program," writes McClatchyDC.com, "is sweeping in its reach. It has received scant public attention even though it extends beyond the U.S. national security bureaucracies to most federal departments and agencies nationwide, including the Peace Corps, the Social Security Administration and the Education and Agriculture departments. It emphasizes leaks of classified material, but catchall definitions of 'insider threat' give agencies latitude to pursue and penalize a range of other conduct."This just in from Foreign Policy online:
The State Department investigator who accused colleagues last week of using drugs, soliciting prostitutes, and having sex with minors says that Foggy Bottom is now engaged in an "intimidation" campaign to stop her.
Last week's leaks by Aurelia Fedenisn, a former State Department inspector general investigator, shined a light on alleged wrongdoing by U.S. officials around the globe. But her attorney Cary Schulman tells The Cable that Fedenisn has paid a steep price: "They had law enforcement officers camp out in front of her house, harass her children and attempt to incriminate herself."
Fedenisn's life changed dramatically last Monday after she handed over documents and statements to CBS News alleging that senior State Department officials "influenced, manipulated, or simply called off" several investigations into misconduct. The suppression of investigations was noted in an early draft of an Inspector General report, but softened in the final version.
Erich Hart, general counsel to the Inspector General, did not reply to a request for comment. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said last week that "we hold all employees to the highest standards. We take allegations of misconduct seriously and we investigate thoroughly."
Ha! Apparently matters of misconduct and thorough investigations for the State Department only include whistleblowers, not the use of drugs, prostitutes and child sex trafficking by high-ranking officials that are representatives of the United States of America.(I might also add to the list incompetency, as in Benghazi.)
What has actually been done to make sure a Fast & Furious never happens again?
What has been done to make sure a Benghazi never happens again?
What has been done to make sure the IRS discriminatory harrassment doesn't recur?
Why is the best thing to prevent another Boston Marathon horror, not to monitor ANY mosques, like the miltant one that produced the bombers?
One thing is for sure, none of these other things seem to be getting "fixed", but at least the public will not get to learn about things like this in the future ... since the administration's crackdown on "leaks" should effectively shut down investigative reporting, what little of it there is left.

These particular email threads, when it eventually shows up in the mailing list archives, explains quite nicely why I stopped developing on Squid-3. This: This and then this.
I'm sorry guys - you first agreed on a basic roadmap and timeline for Squid-3.1 - and then in the middle of a "release candidate" release cycle you decide to add more damned features.
Considering exactly how successful previous "new features" have been in keeping the stability and performance of Squid-3 up there, I have absolutely no faith anymore in what they do.

I was just reading about drug wars in Mexico. Maybe legalizing would put some of them out of business?

Not sure what impact it would have with the Mexican drug lords as I have a feeling that is a small part of thier busienss.
I've read in several articles that most is grown domestically and is Canada's #1 cash crop.
For me, the big question is if people suffering with various ailments are finding releif, then why can't they use an all natural solution? Is it the drug companies lobbing against it? Lets face it, many of the side effects of percription drugs cause more problems then they solve.
Tax revenue would be another issue.

It's kind of a weird situation. "Drug" dealers don't want to lose their revenue, "drug" users don't want big businesses to increase prices and for it to be taxed, and those who know nothing about it see legalization as the end of the world.
I have a feeling it would have been legal in Canada years ago without US pressures.
I basically favor legalization but definitely believe there will be both negative and positive consequences.
A significant number of people are still imprisoned each year for violation of laws on sale and possession of marijuana, as distinct from other drugs. Legalization would take them out of the criminal justice system.
Legalization would increase tax revenues, without affecting end user costs, and remove the "subsidy" now received by criminal traffickers.
However, there is a big difference between marijuana and alcohol in terms of how the drugs are used. Most people using alcohol are not actually looking to get drunk. Everyone using marijuana is looking to get stoned (when was the last time someone took a toke, smelled the smoke to comment on the vintage, and then did not proceed to smoke until his eyes went glassy?).
There is no question in my mind, that legalizing marijuana will increase the incidence of intoxication among both adults and minors. In addition, I have little doubt that legalizing marijuana will increase the incidence of smoking much more dangerous drugs such as .... tobacco.
Legalization is not the same as endorsement of use. Many things are bad for our health but still legal. For all of its negatives, marijuana is clearly less harmful to health than many substances that are now legal. I suspect that it will take a Republican to get a legalization bill passed, just as it took a Republican to open relations with China. Otherwise, any push for legalization will simply become another bullet in the culture war arsenal.
Jeff Goodwin
I'm all for legalization.
IN AK when I was growing up, it was legal. Then illegal, then legal then illegal.
I think it is currently illegal.
Legalization will not make the usage go up (those that want to smoke it will) and it will take a bite out of crime (removing users and sellers from the prison system) plus giving an avenue for purchase. It will also lower the "street price".
I say legalize it, tax the hell out of it and use THAT to pay for health care reform.....
Just like alcohol, make it unacceptable to be "under the influence" within certain job parameters. Just because something is legal doesn't mean you don;t have to be responsible for your behavior.
This may be because I'm Canadian. It's true that people smoke it to get high, but in all honesty if someone wants to get get some weed, then they go get some. It's not like you have to walk into some sketchy part of town and worry for your life. I can walk up the street in any neighbor hood and pick up a bag.
The other thing is you tend to only stay "high" for a short amount of time...it's not like alcohol where you wake up the next morning and worry about getting a DUI on the drive to work.
How we have it up north now works fairly well. It could be better, but decriminalization is a good first step. The only stupid thing is they have started a new round of government anti-drug commercials. The gateway drug theory and addiction crap have been debunked so many times that crap is getting old.
I personally love it. I probably get high once a month or so. When you've had one of those really bad days there is nothing better than a little bit of weed, a bag of chips and a big glass of chocolate milk.
I have been for it for decades. NOBODY should be in prison for pot.....NOBODY, we need the room for real criminals.
I have a buddy who got 2 years for possession on 2 ozs. Fist offence....2 years...how did that do justice for anyone?
The only problem with being under the influence while driving is there is really no way to tell WHEN a person smoked it. I did drug testing for many years and spent lots of time in court an that is always a problem....27 days in your system so when did you use it. Most law says if it is in your system (agan 27 days) you areunder the influence, but any one who has ever used it only wises it lasted that long. Many workers comp cases have been both won and lost on this isse as well. If you go to work and fall and break something and they test your urine at the hospital and you smoked 2 weeks before it happened you will still be positive and screwed as far as a claim goes.
funny thing about the "war on drugs" if it is working why are they still easily avaliable and why are many of them as cheap or even in many cases cheaper than they were 15-20 years ago. Cocaine was $80-100/gram back in the 80's and now I understand fomr people that know a gram is going for $50-80. Seems to me if it were working prices would have gone up and avalibility would have gone down.
The next problem would be that making it legal would kill a huge industry that is geared completely towards it NOT being Legal.

[QUOTE=YardleyLabs;572828] Most people using alcohol are not actually looking to get drunk. Everyone using marijuana is looking to get stoned (when was the last time someone took a toke, smelled the smoke to comment on the vintage, and then did not proceed to smoke until his eyes went glassy?).
Not sure I totally agree with that. I think there are people who would take a few hits to relax, unwind, and chill, without the intent on getting totally zoned. So I've been told.
Likewise, I see lots of folks at the watering holes in town who plop down on a barstool with no intent of leaving anywhere near sober.
All in all, I think alcohol exerts a far larger cost on society in terms of injury, death, and destruction of property, domestic and other abuse and violence.
I just don't see guys toking away, then chest thumping and jumping in cars to drag race....

Complex Magazine visits the EBC
by Alexandra
In part one of the origin story of the EBC, we looked at the birth of the legendary summer tournament. Now in the second installment the architects explain how it grew into a Harlem staple. After running his tournament for two consecutive summers, Greg Marius, the founder and CEO of the Entertainer?s Basketball Classic, discontinued the event in 1983. The physical and financial burden of doing everything himself proved exhausting.

TUPELO – There's no need to go to your favorite store or restaurant on a wing and a prayer hoping to get some, well, chicken wings.
Despite recent reports that there's a shortage of wings, don't worry, area businesses said.
Andre Thomas, owner of Hammer's Wings, is expecting another big turnout Sunday for the big game.
"We really do well on Super Bowl Sunday, and this year won't be any different," he said. "I'm coming in at 6 a.m., to prep, eat a little breakfast, then get going. I've got my first order going out at 10."
While there's no shortage of wings, Todd's Big Star owner Bob Knight said prices are higher.
"They're probably the No. 1 Super Bowl snack food," he said.
In fact, Americans will chomp down on more than 1.2 billion wings this weekend, the National Chicken Council said.
"I remember when I first started in the business, nobody wanted the wing," Knight said. "Now, you can't get enough of them it seems."
There are wing specialty restaurants like Hammer's and Buffalo Wild Wings, of course, but wings have flown onto menus of nearly every other kind of restaurant, including Pizza joints.
"It seems everybody has them these days," Knight said. "But a chicken only has two wings. The demand is so high, wings cost more per pound than boneless chicken breasts. I never would have thought that would happen."
So how did the shortage rumor start? Back to the NCC, which said this year's wing consumption actually will be 1 percent less than last year.
"Chicken companies produced about 1 percent fewer birds last year, due in large part to record high corn and feed prices," said NCC chief economist Bill Roenigk in a news release. "Corn makes up more than two-thirds of chicken feed, and corn prices hit an all-time high in 2012. … Simply put, less corn equals higher feed costs, which means fewer birds produced."
That got word going that a wing shortage would ensue.
But most people ignored or overlooked this sentence from the chicken council's press release: "Roenigk adds that consumers shouldn't worry about any shortage of wings on Super Bowl Sunday or any time soon."
Jay Osgood with Buffalo Wild Wings in Tupelo agreed.
"We'll have plenty," he said.
Osgood said the restaurant sells 50,000 wings a week, but it has ordered extra for this weekend. In fact, a shipment arrived Friday afternoon in anticipation of high demand.
"We opened right before last year's Super Bowl, so we have a good idea of what it's going to be like this year," Osgood said.

Leading figures convene to discuss arts and the economic crisis--UPDATED
Posted November 5, 2009; 03:49 p.m.
UPDATE: Due to a last-minute change in schedule, Rocco Landesman no longer can attend. Marjorie Garber, the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of English and of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University, where she is also chair of the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies, will now join the morning panel.
Leading figures in the arts world will convene at Princeton for a daylong symposium on "The Arts and the Economic Crisis" on Saturday, Nov. 14, in McCosh 10.
The Lewis Center for the Arts is hosting the symposium to bring together the perspectives and insights of artists, artistic directors, arts administrators and advocates to increase understanding of issues rooted in the nation's economic and political systems that are confronting those involved in the arts. Speakers will include: Academy Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman; Rocco Landesman, chair of the National Endowment for the Arts; renowned director Peter Sellars; Nobel laureate novelist and Princeton professor emeritus Toni Morrison; and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, the Howard G.B. Clark '21 University Professor in the Humanities and chair of the Lewis Center.
Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman will open the symposium at 9:30 a.m. Sessions will run until 9:30 p.m.
Muldoon explained the rationale behind Princeton hosting the symposium. "As the role of the university in the arts becomes more and more significant, we think it is appropriate that a university provide the forum for this discussion," he said
Registration is closed for non-students, but unclaimed seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from a wait line before the start of each panel. The symposium also will be simulcast in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St. Seating for the simulcast is free and open to the public, with no tickets required.
Ticket distribution for Princeton students wishing to attend the symposium starts at noon Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Frist Campus Center ticket office. Tickets will be available weekdays from noon to 6 p.m. while supplies last. Students may receive one ticket per TigerCard and may present up to two TigerCards.
Landesman will participate in the morning panel on "Meta-View: The Economic Crisis and Amercia's 'Art Ecology,'" along with Randall Bourscheidt, president of the Alliance for the Arts, and Robert Lynch, president of Americans for the Arts. Jordan Roth, president of Jujamycn Theaters, will moderate the panel.
Discussing "The Practice of the Arts in Hard Times" will be artistic directors Oskar Eustis of the Public Theater; Susan Marshall of Susan Marshall & Company, director of Princeton's Program in Dance; Wu Han of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center; and Julían Zugazagoitia of El Museo del Barrio. Laura Aswad of the New York State Council on the Arts and executive director of Real Arts and Culture will moderate the panel, which will consider what it takes to produce art and the significant ways art impacts culture in this time of dire economic conditions.
Hoffman, Sellars and Morrison will participate in the evening discussion on "Art in the Time of Crisis: Arts Inventing Culture." Homi Bhabha, director of the Humanities Center at Harvard University, will moderate.
The symposium is sponsored by the Lewis Center's Performance Central program and is co-organized by Muldoon and Ellen Goellner, associate director of the Princeton Atelier.
Members of the news media who wish to attend must e-mail email@example.com no later than noon Thursday, Nov. 12, to express their interest. Seating is extremely limited, and no photographers or broadcast media will be able to attend. Photographs of the three panel sessions will be made available online after the event. Headshots of the speakers also are available upon request. For more information, call (609) 258-5262.

So off we skipped to Calgary, where we managed to get ourselves lost trying to find the way to Banff National Park
So after many mountains and lakes later, we made our way up the most beautiful drive in the world, The Icefields Parkway and found our accommodation at Lake Louise Township
We certainly didn't need a bear bell the next day as we hiking around Lake Louise (there was a sign advising that there was a bear in the area). We had Ava, who had recently learned how to sing. Clearly at such a young age she has problems controlling THE VOLUME OF HER VOICE and managed to scare off any marmots, or cougars, or bears (oh my - sorry, it had to be done). We deemed that day, the day of the lakes. As we headed up the Icefields Parkway, we probably saw about 6000 lakes. Each one more beautiful than the next. It really was amazing. This part of the world is incredible. How those lakes get so blue - I don't know. Something to do with sediment or som'n - but I tell ya what... they're pretty incredible. We went up the summer gondola of the Lake Louise Ski resort and took in the views - which were also amazing. Hard to find an average view in the park! As we headed further North on our way to Jasper National Park, we picked up an accommodation brochure - abandoning the trusty wotif.com we started calling places from the book (yep, there's cell service all the way up the road!) and managed to find a reasonable place 60kms out of Jasper
As we headed off the main road and onto a little windy road up to our accommodation at the Miette Hot Springs - we came around a corner to quite a sight... A brown bear with two cubs. Boy did we luck in. We did exactly what we were told not to do. I'm an environmentalist at the best of times, but even I - couldn't bear (haha) the thought of passing by without taking as many photos as humanly possible. They were munching out on some grass on the side of the road, and as luck would have it - strolled slowly across the road in front of us all in a row (mumma, bubba and bubba) right in front of our car, and then came back toward us on the other side of the road as they munched their way down the road. It was like they didn't even know we were there. We had what seemed like 5 minutes (but was probably only 3) completely alone with these incredible animals that could have eaten US for dinner! Man, it was RAD. Meanwhile, Ava is going OFF in the back - screaming her guts out completely OVER being cooped up in the car (as it is once again 10pm - another 12 hour day on the road) But even then our car, the bubba, our snapping cameras..
We arrived at our accommodation and promptly spotted a deer. Being all out of film, and needing to get more out of the boot, I was about to jump out when Amanda spotted a wolf. There was no way in the world that she was going to let me out of the car, and in her best 'mum voice' she bellowed "DO NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR" - So, like any good daughter - I did as I was told, and the wolf continued stalking the deer. We thought we were going to see a Discovery Channel style 'the hunter vs the hunted' episode. It was all on... the intensity... the pressure. The unsuspecting deer... and just like that, the wolf came from behind the tree, and turned out to be a husky on a lead - being taken for a walk. We were in HYSTERICS all the way to our accommodation!!!!!!!!!!!
Luckily our check in to this hotel was incredibly easy. She gave me a card to fill out - and got me a key right away. Then her husband (they were a cute old Greek couple) asked us how many people we had staying, we told her 3 adults and a baby, and they upgraded us to a suite for the same price
Jasper itself was a very cute town, we had very limited time to check it out unfortunately, but it had a weird vibe of feeling like a little beachside town, but surrounded by these incredible mountains. Really cool.
The following day, we headed up to the Hot Springs. They are naturally some ridiculously hot water around 55C which they cool and pump into not so natural seeming pools of 37 degrees C. so we floated around in them for 30 mins while soaking up the mountain views. A very nice way to start off the day. We headed South to the Athabasca Glacier where we did a tour in an ice Tundra vehicle onto the Glacier. We got a chance to walk around a safe area of the glacier and fill up our water with real water! They told us all sorts of amazing information about some of the mountains, and how the glacier had retreated (or melted) about 1km over around the last 150 years. Not good. The glacier it's was one of the biggest in the world - about 3 times the size of Vancouver (from memory) and one of the mountains feeds 3 oceans via various river systems! 1st not surprisingly is the Pacific, 2nd is the Artic, and the 3rd goes all the way to the Atlantic
After our tour ended we leisurely made our back down the Icefields Parkway and made a few stops at various sights that we missed on the way up. We had afternoon tea at the Banff Springs Hotel - which is an amazing old stone hotel - feels really European. Stone walls inside, dark and cool. But oh so posh! We really fit in well there. Every view in one of their many restaurants, bars and caf�'s had an outstanding view. It was great. Banff town site itself was also very cute. A real nice feel. Would LOVE to go back in winter.. We'll have to see how it all pans out tho! Then eventually we headed back to Calgary for our flight home and walked in the door exhausted at about midnight!
The rest of the week and weekend we did local stuff, went out for dinner and had planned to drive to Seattle for the weekend, but having gone through copious amounts of money and energy we decided to stay local and take it easy in Vancouver. Plus Ava was enjoying being able to move around and not be strapped into a car seat, so we thought we'd give her a chance to learn how to crawl. Which she did, which we happened to catch on video. I would have caught it on mine, but the lovely camera fixers of Vancouver told me in no uncertain terms that it was time to retire the camera and buy a new one
We spent the rest of the time going up to Grouse Mountain on the gondola and seeing fab views of Vancouver, visiting their Grizzly Bear enclosure, going swimming at the beach (believe it or not) - today is raining and about 10 degrees - and generally having a relaxing time.
It's a vacation that had no stress, (other than money!), no pressure and plenty of new jokes were created to be repeated over and over! It was great!
P.S For future reference, bears eat 20 hours a day in summer...

Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty today offers her findings from her "checks" with value-added resellers of storage gear as how things went last quarter, concluding that the storage market was "little changed" from Q2, with no upside and no pick-up in growth, but simply "stable" trends in sales.
"Activity levels remain high, but sales cycles have not improved. Some VARs noted aggressive pricing related to specific deals, but no different from prior quarters," writes Huberty.
Huberty, who has an Overweight rating on shares of NetApp (NTAP), and a $46 price target, and an Equal Weight rating on shares of EMC (EMC), and a $35 price target, writes that both are managing their business well:
VARs were mixed on whether EMC or NTAP performed better in the quarter. On one hand, we continue to pick up signs of improvement at NTAP following disruptions from its new OS with some commenting that C3Q was the first full quarter where NTAP was back to full selling mode as opposed to a more defensive posture last year. On the other hand, EMC remains very steady with a broad product portfolio and aggressive go-to-market strategies. It is still too early to get a read on VNX demand with only a few VARs familiar with the launch.
Shares of NetApp today are down 9 cents at $41.51, while shares of EMC are up 15 cents, or 0.6%, at $25.31.

Track List
Album Reviews:
Rolling Stone (p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Their consistently great second disc combines songs you've YouTubed to death with top-shelf new material..."
Rolling Stone (p.74) - Ranked #50 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "Another batch of deft satires from the pop-parody kings."
Entertainment Weekly (p.60) - "[T]he triumphantly goofy 'I Just Had Sex,' with Akon, manages to be both outrageous and entirely plausible radio bait." -- Grade: B
Album Notes
Recording information: Sonic Ranch Studios, El Paso, TX.
Back once again with the ill behavior, Lonely Island's second effort is more of the same, which for many means that life is still worth living. Irony and stupidity abound as the crew has its way with that sweet and rare event called "lovemaking" ("I Just Had Sex" with Akon), your Mom ("Motherlover" with Justin Timberlake), hip-hop culture ("No Homo"), and popular culture in general (pretty much everything else), as interludes that owe a lot to Adam Sandler tie it all together. The jokes are the main attraction -- they contrast extreme bravado and extreme embarrassment for maximum hilarity -- but the great trick behind Lonely Island is their keen awareness of whatever genre they are mocking. With the right beats and production, "The Creep" is the kind of stalker anthem you'd expect if stalkers posted tracks on hip-hop blogs, while "Jack Sparrow" is the Michael Bolton power ballad to perfection, and even comes with a hearty helping of Michael Bolton. Bad news for newcomers is that tracks like "Shy Ronnie 2: Bonnie & Clyde" won't work well away from their visuals, meaning Turtleneck & Chain is sometimes a souvenir for Saturday Night Live viewers, who know just how much that slow motion video helps a cut like "Threw It on the Ground." That said, the title track is killer, "We're Back!" might be the ultimate intro, and if you can deny shelf space to an album with "Trouble on Dookie Island" on the track list, you're probably much more "Watch Me Do Me" than "I Just Had Sex" anyway. ~ David Jeffries

Thread: Red Raspberry Leaf Tea and Labor

Red Raspberry Leaf Tea and Labor
With my third and fourth child I regularly consumed red raspberry leaf tea during my third trimester. It was also one of the supplements in the prenatal vitamins that I took during my pregnancy with baby four. I had a big cup of it right after my water broke with baby four (I did not have contractions prior). I kept waiting for contractions, finally asking to be checked to find out if I had made any progress after a significant number of hours had passed. When I asked to be checked I was a stretchy 6 CM. I was 8 CM dilated before I ever felt a single contraction and from that point on my labor lasted about thirty minutes. This was far different from my three previous labors, wherein my contractions began to intensify very early on and I had average length labors.
I have read that many women have experienced very easy labors after having indulged in a very hot, strong infusion of RRL in early labor. Anyone else have experience with this?
30th December 2011 04:22 PM #2
Sounds like you had a great labour experience. Raspberry leaf has been used for centuries by women in preparation for birth. My personal experience with Raspberry leaf was that it caused lots of painful Braxton Hicks contractions in pregnancy - so much so I chose to stop taking it. However as a midwife women tell me how they believe raspberry leaf is helpful for labour, making the labour more efficient and the birth positive.
31st December 2011 11:23 AM #3
I believe it was precisely that for me, it made the contractions that I did have more effective. I have heard a few other women say they had much stronger braxton hicks, I guess it effects everyone in different ways.
14th January 2012 03:49 PM #4
I used Red Rapsberry Leaf Tea during the last 3 weeks of my 5th pregnancy. I drank it 3 times a day according to the directions on the box. I didn't know about taking a very hot, very strong infusion during early labour.
I had fairly painful braxton hicks with the Red Raspberry Leaf Tea, as Jane did. They were the strongest braxton hicks I had out of all 5 of my pregnancies. I just figured that with each contraction, that "something" was happening and helping my body prepare for the birth.
That baby was 9 days late. I laid down at 10PM to go to sleep, and then labour kicked in. Baby was born around 5AM. What I remember is that as soon as I got in the warm water of the birthing tub, my whole body relaxed and contractions intensified. An hour later I asked my attendants to get my midwife (who was sleeping in the other room because she had just come from another birth). I remember one of the attendants tell me that it had only been an hour and I didn't need to wake the midwife (she was a student midwife and could check me). But I insisted that I wanted my midwife to check me (maybe I figured I'd get the most accurate reading from her - and I was desperate for an accurate reading as contractions were very intense). My sister-in-law, who had attended all of my 4 prior births told the student midwife that she felt that it would be good to call my midwife in (my sister-in-law could tell that I was in transition).
My midwife came in, checked me, and I was at 9cm. She didn't want me to push until I felt the urge, as I still had a small lip, but I completely agreed with that because I've found that when I wait for an urge to push, my pushes are much more effective and things go faster.
It didn't take long for me to feel the urge to push, and baby was born in two pushes.
That was the fastest, easiest birth of all 5 of my births and I believe that the Red Raspberry Leaf tea played a part in that.

I never used it before. I have a thing with raspberries and tea haha. I really cannot seem to even have it, because to me it is not that good. Maybe that is because I am drinking something different. I have to say though that is a good pregnancy experience though. I wish I could have my baby naturally.
16th January 2012 05:39 AM #6
I always put some sort of sweetener in mine. Am I the only person who thinks all herbal tea pretty much tastes the same?? lol.
I am sorry you cannot have the birth that you want Lucky

Lucky - Be sure the tea is Red Raspberry Leaf tea and not just some kind of raspberry flavored tea. It's the Red Raspberry Leaf tea that has the properties to help tone the uterus.
Mom2Many - I think most herbal tea pretty much tastes the same too. I can tell the difference, but I'm not a big tea drinker.

I am currently 32wks along in my 2nd pregnancy and I have just started taking RL tea in a tablet form. My 1st pregnancy ended up in an emergency cesarean and I have read mixed information if it is suitable for me to take the tea because of this?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Bella - Unfortunately there is very little research on Raspberry leaf tea. There are only three studies that I am aware of. I have two articles on my website that will give you more information Raspberry Leaf and Raspberry leaf: panacea for pregnancy and labour or problem? These articles talk about the current research available. Most of the stuff written on the internet is opinion based only - so it makes it difficult to make an informed decision. In humans no adverse effects have been found. There has been no specific research relating to women who've had a previous caesarean. Anecdotally women report Raspberry Leaf to be effective in improving labour outcomes. I don't know how helpful my comments will be - it is difficult to give a clear answer when evidence is lacking.

Thank you for your info. I will read those articles. I think you are right, it's hard to make a decision when there is no clear studies or information. I think I can just read as much info as possible and decide from there. So far the possible benefits seem to be encouraging.
Thanks again

Thanks for all the useful information I found on your site. I will bookmark and visit again. I found you while doing a search for Red raspberry leaf tea. Your site was most helpful in my research .

Hi suricruise,
I'm glad you found the information on red raspberry leaf tea useful. Please do post if you have any specific questions on this.
Have you had a read through the Raspberry Leaf article posted above? There is mixed research about the raspberry leaf tea but many sources cite that it makes contractions more efficient. However, because of this some health professionals advise that it is not consumed until the end of the third trimester.
Best wishes,

That is still 3 days too many!!!
That is still 3 days too many!!!
I don't doubt they put in the time, but are they accomplishing anything of value?
This effort to take over health care is an example of wasted time.
During the immigration debate, I watched as our senator accepted or at least would have if some small measure was added to the bill. He would accept the whole thing for some meaningless measure (expanding the visa program for ceartain workers). Accepting something of limited to no value because he had a chance to participate. The guy looked like he worked pretty hard, hair disheveled and all that, but the measure was meaningless and the acceptance of immigration legislation in the manner it was presented, at least in my view and a majority of the nations as well, would have been a detriment to the nation.
So hard work or the illusion of hard work matters not to me.

I went to my boss, and told him I wanted a 3 day work week. He told me I could have every day off if I wanted. I went back to work.

text: I went to the photo gallery to look back at all the pictures that everyone posted from this past season's hunting success and could only find one page. I am VERY limited with computer skills, and it could be just not knowing how to get around on my part, But what's the deal? Does anybody else have this trouble, or can they tell me where to find 'em? I was hoping to look at the pictures & re-read stories of the hunts.

What a great year of hunting, the weather mostly cooperated both for bird recruitment and during the season. There are more game birds across the landscape of Wisconsin than I have ever seen. The spring turkey season should be outstanding. I think WI now has the largest turkey population in the country and fewest hunters. We ended the fall season with 42,002 unsold tags...
So many tags so little time.
I have a tradition of hunting the final minutes of every season as a way to reflect and say goodbye to its blessings. I also believe by doing this I'll have good luck in the future seasons. Here is a picture of the final view of turkey season 2012.
We had just flushed about 50 turkeys off into the sunset to roost. I waved goodbye while Vic barked a goodbye.
2012 was a great season, Vic became more polished, I learned a lot as usual especially about winter turkey hunting with a turkey dog, it is very challenging to say the least. We are thankful for a very bountiful turkey harvest and after a few days of rest I will begin to obsess over the arrival of season 2013.
Anyone else with final thoughts and experiences of 2012 to share?
Happy hunting in the New Year everyone.

EndoBarrier Therapy by GI dynamics, gets BioSpectrum Asia Pacific Awards 2013 in the Product of the Year 2013 category
Diabetes has emerged as a major concern in Asia Pacific and companies are making a beeline to develop treatments for it. ASX-listed GI Dynamics has developed a novel treatment, called EndoBarrier Therapy, that does not rely on either medication or surgery to help patients regain control of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
"The EndoBarrier device was first implanted in a human subject in 2005 and has evolved steadily since then. Today, the number of patients treated with EndoBarrier Therapy exceeds 800 and we continue our research and development efforts to enhance the product and treatment program, and to explore additional uses of the technology," says Mr Stuart A Randle, president and CEO, GI Dynamics.
Clinical trials and commercial applications have shown that many patients, while receiving EndoBarrier Therapy, have been able to decrease their dosage of oral anti-diabetes medications.
The effects of EndoBarrier Therapy on glucose control are rapid. The EndoBarrier medical device may be implanted for up to 12 months and has shown benefits in three-month, six-month and 12-month studies. "Our current data demonstrate that 87 percent of the patients are able to reach healthy blood sugar levels and lose an average 18 percent of their total body weight in nine months. Initial studies have demonstrated that EndoBarrier Therapy has sustained benefits on glycemic control and weight loss in up to six months post-explant," says Mr Randle.
Till date, the company has raised $156 million in capital, which has been used toward employee costs, company operations, research and development, ongoing clinical trials, and sales and marketing of the product. The product is commercially available in Australia, Chile and several European countries including the UK, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.

Vaccinations, when given regularly, give your cat long-term protection against serious and sometimes fatal infectious diseases. A vaccine works by mimicking either the particular virus or the bacteria that causes disease. This then primes the body's own immune response, so that it is ready and prepared to fight any future infection if challenged by that same virus or bacteria.
Your vet will be able to advise you on the type of vaccinations your cat should receive and how often. Generally, kittens can begin vaccinations at 9-10 weeks of age, so schedule a visit to your vet as soon as you can after obtaining your new arrival. They will need another vaccination at 12 weeks old. Most kitten vaccines are given as part of a series of injections to stimulate optimum immune response. Thereafter booster vaccinations at regular intervals, as recommended by your vet, are strongly advised to ensure continuing immunity.
Your vet will provide you with a record of vaccination, showing the vaccines that have been administered to your cat, and the dates that the next booster is due. This is an important document so please keep it safe, maybe with your pet insurance policy documents.
The following are some of the diseases that can be vaccinated against:
Feline infectious enteritis (FIE)
Feline infectious enteritis (a severe and often fatal gut infection) is caused by the feline parvovirus (or feline panleukopenia virus). Vaccination against FIE has been very successful. Unvaccinated cats are at great risk because the virus is widespread in the environment.
Cat 'flu
Two types of cat 'flu are vaccinated against feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) and feline calicivirus (FCV). These viruses are very common and vaccination will protect your cat against prolonged illness, but because there are many different strains of cat 'flu the vaccine will not totally eradicate the threat.
Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV)
FeLV is a lifelong infection and unfortunately most cats will die within three years of diagnosis, usually from a subsequent disease like leukaemia, lymphoma (tumors) or progressive anaemia. It is not an airborn disease and can only be passed on via direct contact between cats (usually by saliva or bites) so it absolutely vital for cats who spend time outdoors or time with other cats.
Feline chlamydophilosis
This bacterium, which causes conjunctivitis in cats, can't survive in the atmosphere and is thus spread by direct contact between cats (affecting outdoor cats, multi-cat households and kittens predominately). Your vet will discuss your situation and advise as to whether this vaccine is necessary.
If you suspect your cat is having a bad reaction to a vaccine, call your veterinarian immediately

Looking for a seafood dinner? Then check out this grilled salmon spread with dill and mustard mixture – ready in 20 minutes.
To broil salmon, place skin side up on broiler pan; do not spread with mustard mixture. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning once halfway through broiling and spreading with mustard mixture.
To reduce the fat in each serving of this recipe by about 7 grams, use fat-free mayonnaise.
This recipe calls for preparing a serving sauce with part of the seasoning mixture used for basting food on the grill. Separate the portion for the sauce before brushing the rest on raw food. This ensures that bacteria from uncooked meat or fish will not contaminate the uncooked serving sauce.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain has recently revised and reprinted its publication "A Guide to Jewish Genealogy in Lithuania" and this is now available for purchase through the JGSGB website. To order a copy of this up to date guide to researching family in Lithuania simply go to: http://www.jgsgb.org.uk/catalog/shop and add the Guide to your shopping basket.
The author of the Guide is Sam Aaron, a long-standing JGSGB member and a leading light in Lithuanian Jewish Genealogy. Sam will be speaking about Lithuanian research at the JGSGB London conference on 30 October.
The Lithuanian Guide provides clear information about how records were organised and what levels of government the records were collected at and where they can now be found. There are details of the way various first and last names worked in Lithuania, which is an invaluable piece of information when trying to reconcile the names that people used in different situations – in Hebrew, in official records, as nicknames and so on.
So if you have Lithuanian ancestors this is a must to have.

Well, well, well... I've been busy lately! I've spent a fair bit of time looking into some of the evolving W3C specifications, especially the XML DOM stuff. It's a little interesting seeing the directions the specs are being pulled in -- not sure of the motivations, sometimes!
My own DOM implementation is growing, but only slowly at this point -- I've worked on my Level 3 Loading module, and have at least a few test cases for non-default behaviors.
I spent a little time this evening working on my scripts for conversion of the LaTeX documentation for Python to XML -- perhaps that's not such a hopeless goal! I think I need to think further about the following topics:
- The document schema: Specifically, function and method signatures need some attention.
- Composition: If I go with smaller documents for module references, say one file per Python module, I'll want a composition mechanism that lets me put together a nicely interlinked web of references from a collection of module references and other text. It would be nice to keep a single collection of module references which could accomodate multiple top-level views.
- Formatting for display: I've started playing with XSLT, and might be able to use that for a lot of the formatting, but I'm not sure yet. I need to learn a lot more about it to manage the hyperlinking between module references in a reasonable way.
- Typesetting: Yes, I still think this is useful! Perhaps not for the library reference, but certainly for most of the other documents. Displays just aren't good enough for extended reading. I can probably use XSLT to generate LaTeX similar to the current markup, and then use a variant of my current document classes to make it look good.

GNU moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean, console text editor for ISO-8859 and ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, online help, multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability, unlimited line length, global search/replace (on all buffers at once), block operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, file name completion, directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories, delimiter matching, text conversion from/to UTF-8, romanization, etc.
UTF-8 is a great tool for tasks like writing books of mathematics or mixing Greek with Chinese in the same document. But for many other everyday computing and communication tasks, an 8-bit code like ISO-8859-15 is much more practical, efficient and reliable. There is no such thing as an "invalid" or "out of range" ISO-8859-15 character.
Moe tries to rationalize the keyboard commands. The Alt key is used for harmless commands like cursor movements and scrolling. The Control key is used for more "dangerous" commands like copying text blocks, deleting lines, or exiting. The Tab key is used for file name completion and also shows/hides the directory browser when moe asks for a file name to save or load. In any case, the unlimited undo/redo capability of moe makes very difficult to accidentally cause an irreparable damage to your files.
Moe uses the function keys, so that the most frequent commands can be issued with only one finger. The function key F1 shows the online help, and F10 allows you to change the options. Believe it or not, this paragraph and some experience with text editors is all you need to use moe almost as well as an expert. Forget about "learning curves"; there is nothing to learn.
The manual is available in the info system of the GNU Operating System. Use info to access the top level info page. Use info moe to access the moe section directly.
