Mayor Coleen J. Seng today cut the ribbon on a new employee breast-feeding room at the Lincoln/Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) as part of the celebration of World Breast-feeding Week. Mayor Seng also unveiled a Breast-feeding Resource Guide, developed by the local Breast-feeding: Healthy Kids 2010 community work group.
"I am very pleased to support these efforts to encourage breast-feeding, a very important children's health issue," said Mayor Seng. "This new room at the Health Department will make it easier for employees to continue to breast-feed when they return to work. The guide, which will be distributed to expectant parents, will help them understand the importance of breast-feeding their babies and the community services available to assist them."
The Breast-feeding: Healthy Kids 2010 work group was established by the Mayor's office in response to the Breast-feeding Initiative passed by the Lincoln-Lancaster County Board of Health in March 2001. The City of Lincoln and Lancaster County developed and implemented an employee breast-feeding policy, which went into effect in May 2001. The Mayor's office also conducted a summit meeting on breast-feeding in June 2001.
"The work group is helping to implement the U.S. Surgeon General's Breast-feeding Blueprint for Action," said Ann Seacrest, Chair of Breast-feeding: Healthy Kids 2010. "That blueprint identifies breast-feeding as a major factor in the health of our infants and our community, and the U.S. Surgeon General recommends that infants be fed breast milk for at least 12 months. Our group is working to increase the number of breast-fed babies in our community by promoting support services, positive images in the media, continuing education for health care providers and data collection."
Breast-feeding: Healthy Kids 2010 is working with the Lancaster County Medical Society to sponsor a professional development conference for health care providers, called "Breast-feeding: Common Sense and Science." The conference is set for 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, September 11 at the Medical Society, 5625 "O" Street. Continuing education credits will be offered, and additional information is available from the Medical Society at 483-4800.
According to a 1997 policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), "Human milk is uniquely superior for infant feeding," because breast milk contains a special blend of fats, sugars, minerals, proteins, vitamins and enzymes which cannot be duplicated. The AAP says the benefits of breast-feeding include:
"We cannot ignore the other important social and economic benefits of breast-feeding," said LLCHD Director Bruce Dart. "These benefits include reduced health care costs and less money spent on infant feeding. It is estimated that our nation spends $7 billion more in health care each year because many infants are not breast-fed exclusively for the first six months of life."

See logic-knowledge-taken-for-granted-inductive-proof for an explanation of what we mean by the induction suggested by a recursive function or a term.
Classical Induction on Natural Numbers Preserving Parity: Here is
another way to decompose natural numbers. To prove
(p n), for all
n, prove each of the following:
Base Case 1: (implies (zp n) (p n))
Base Case 2: (implies (equal n 1) (p n))
Induction Step: (implies (and (not (zp n)) (not (equal n 1)) (p (- n 2))) (p n))Base Case 1 establishes that
p holds for
0 (and all objects other
than positive naturals).
Base Case 2 establishes that
p holds for
The Induction Step establishes that if
n is a natural number greater than
and if
p holds for
n-2, then
p holds for
Note that we have thus proved that
(p n) holds, for all
n. For example,
(p -7),
(p 'abc), and
(p 0) are all established by Base Case 1.
(p 1) is established by Base Case 2.
(p 2) is established from
(p 0)
and the Induction Step. Think about it!
(p 3) is established form
(p 1)
and the Induction Step, etc.
A function that suggests this induction is:
(defun parity (n) (if (zp n) 'even (if (equal n 1) 'odd (parity (- n 2))))).

What a beautiful collection... I love white ironstone, and yours is gorgeous. Great buy on the coffee pot too, I know it looks beautiful with fresh flowers in it, what a wonderful way to use it! Have a wonderful week!
hugs~~ Daphne
You have a beautiful collection, or lets rephrase that, beautiful collections. You have alittle bit of everything. Where did you manage to store all of these collections. Unbelieveable. Love them all. Thanks for sharing.
White ironstone has a classic look that we all love and they can be mixed and matched to create wonderful vignettes, just like yours!
Gorgeous ironstone!! I am sort of a collector too, although I don't have many vintage pieces. I am always looking for new/old white ironstone.
Love your ironstone collection especially the two sided gravy boat. Now I will be looking for one.
Simply beautiful and classic! I think I may have to crossover to a more traditional setting. Thanks for sharing.
I love ironstone too (as I love all things white). You have some very special pieces and display and use them in a lovely way :)
Hi Paula! Oh, such pretties! I love seeing all of your pretty collection and how you've arranged everything. Haven't we all been inspired by Cindy? :)
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Thank you for your email, I have been crazy busy with 18 days of company and the last of them left this morning. Sigh! I can visit my blogging friends again at last. I am happy to see you are going strong and loving it!!!
I too love the ironstone of old and new. I am always on the hunt to find a piece but I do not have a lot to share. Why don't you host an ironstone blog party. There are a lot of us who would join in. You know so much about ironstone. Just thinking! Your photos are so pretty and artistic.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs, Jeanne
I LOVE Ironstone!!!!!!!!!!! It's one of my favorite things! I have been finding it like crazy at Goodwill and Salvation Army for as little as $.30! Sometimes I can't believe what people give away. But I'm ok with it, because then it ends up in my house. :) Beautiful post!
Ooooo and I love Jeanne's idea of hosting an Ironstone blog party! How fun!
I just started collecting ironstone (much to my husband's dismay!) It's quite addicting I'll admit. My favories are the soup tureens. I've even bought them without the spoons in the hopes of coming across some spoons later. Have you ever done that? That "tea pot" is most definitely a Club G.W. find! The party will be up tonight so don't forget to stop by!
Have a lovely day.
You have a beautiful collection of Ironstone. I'm always on the lookout for white Ironstone, its so pretty and looks great mixed with other pieces.
I love ironstone. I have a pretty good collection of pieces. I display all my large ironstone tureens on a shelf over a doorwall & a window in the living room. Your pieces are wonderful!
Your two sided gravy boat is my favorite piece! So versatile and unique...I see why you use it all the time. I would, too. It's so pretty.
I love white ironstone, too. There is very little else that gives that perfect balance of casual elegance, IMO. Your collection (both old and new) is wonderful. My favorite piece is that wonderful two sided gravy boat. Loved it with the grapes because, well... you're right about the hips. Ha!
Oh Paula I'm squealing with delight over seeing your ironstone collection!!
You see I'm an ironstone-O-holic too! I even have a few of the same pieces you do *winks*
I love how ironstone was used every day. The older well used chippy around the edges pieces grab hold of my heart every time! Thank you so much for sharing yet another of your beautiful collections......Sheesh I'm just a little green *winks* Vanna
You have a nice collection of ironstone. I think that white ironstone will always be a classic.
I'm a little jealous of all your ironstone! You lucky girl! I have found a couple saucers at Goodwill :)
Love your stuff!
Beautiful pieces, and beautifully displayed. Ironstone is timeless and can fit in any decor. I have some large platters I found a long time ago. You have a great collection.
Tonight must be the night of ironstone. It looks so beautiful! And you staged your photos so nicely too. Thanks for sharing with my newbie party. Could you add my link or button? Thanks.
Ab FAB! I can't believe they donated that pot either! I've picked up some treasures at Goodwill too! Great collection and displayed so well as always.
What a great post! Elegant and dreamy.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
You have an absolutely wonderful collection and have arranged it so beautifully! I loved the history of the ironstone too and that little tureen was just gorgeous!
What a beautiful collection, I don't recall my grandmother having any, I'm going to have to find out about that.. I love ironstone, have just started a collection of the platters and pitchers, needless to say it's taking over various places in my home... great post... hugs ~lynne~

What a beautiful collection of ironstone! I'm an ironstone junkie, too. I love how you brought home that coffeepot, even without the lid. It looks beautiful displayed. Thanks for sharing.

Cabbage rolls, only blue
Cabbage rolls are a winter-time staple in Estonian kitchens. Usually stuffed with a mixture of rice and mince, these are simmered in broth either on the stove or in the hot oven, and served with boiled potatoes and sour cream. That's indeed what I did - but inspired by an inspirational fellow foodblogger, I used a red cabbage for dramatic colour effect this time. They tasted just like the real thing, just looked blue:) Reminded me of the blue potato mash I used to make in Edinburgh..
Estonian Cabbage Rolls with Rice and Mince
Serves 4
a head of cabbage, about 700-900 grams
water and salt
75 grams of rice (uncooked weight)
300 grams minced pork or beef or a mixture of both
freshly ground black pepper
1 (red) onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 egg
fresh parsley and/or dill, chopped
about 300 ml boiling water or stock
25 grams butter
To serve:
boiled potatoes
sour cream
Cut off the thick stem of the cabbage and make an insertion with a knife around the remaining stem, which will make it easier to remove cabbage leaves. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, season with salt and put the cabbage into the water. Simmer for few minutes, then start removing leaves one by one, returning the cabbage into the water for a few minutes to soften remaining leaves every one and then.
At the same time, boil the rice in slightly salted water 'al dente'.
In a large bowl, mix the minced meat, onion, garlic and cooked rice. Add the egg and fresh herbs, season with salt and pepper.
Put a large spoonful of the mince mixture onto a cabbage leaf (see photo on the right), and wrap the leaf around the filling. If you wish, you can tie each cabbage roll with a kitchen string (see photo above), although that's not absolutely necessary.
Place the cabbage rolls into a heavy casserole dish/Dutch oven. If you've not tied the rolls with a string, then make sure you place them 'seam side' down. Pour over some boiling water or stock to come half-way up the cabbage rolls. Dot with some butter.
Bake at 200C for 50-60 minutes, until the meat filling has cooked through.
I tend to bake the rolls covered for the first 40 minutes and then remove the lid for the rest of the time, which allows the rolls to brown a little.

Lovely! I have never seen red cabbage used for rolls but it looks great! I wonder what these would taste like with the salsicce of Tiziano, my butcher....

The cabbage rolls look amazing!! What a great idea! I miss my mother's cabbage rolls and now I feel inspired making them...

As Mr Darcy said in Bridget Jones, "There really isn't enough blue food." =)
Reminds me of my grandma's 'Pigs in a Blanket' (she was Polish). Only she added tomato sauce to the filling...

Now, this is the way to get kids to eat their cabbage! These are so vibrant and appetizing! My mother-in-law made these every springtime (one of my husband's favorites), and she always made a vegetarian version for me. I may have to make some myself. Thanks for the inspiration!

this reminds me of an austrian dish vermy much like it - we call it krautwickler. it's white cabbage and i have never seen it made with rice, but it's filled with meat, sometimes gammon. it was never big in my mum's kitchen, but there's certainly a lot of austrian who'd get nostalgic over it... it's not something people make anymore these days!

Ilva - well, it's a cabbage, just blue, so why not use it:)
Dagmar - cabbage rolls always remind me of my mother and grandmother, too, so it's a true comfort food.
Melinda - that's a nice quote:) Though I must admit I prefer naturally blue food, as opposed to food dyed blue with a blue kitchen string!!
K&S - thanks!
Susan - I've made a vegetarian version using mushrooms and rice, too. And I agree with you - just like kids would have fun eating blue potato mash, they'd hopefully like this!
Neil - I love cabbage rolls, whether blue or greet, but yes, these were slightly less ordinary.
Mae - indeed!
Christine - can you find some in your local greengrocer? Red cabbage is also lovely in a salad.
Johanna – krautwickler is such a cool name!! I guess you can do a meat-only filling too, but probably most Estonians were too poor to go as far, so they bulked the meat up with rice J And cabbage rolls (kapsarullid) are still popular here, even if they're probably considered a nostalgy or nursery dish.

Former Clemson assistant Dick Bender tweeted Thursday night that he is excited to join the staff at College of Charleston. This confirms earlier reports that he was headed with Earl Grant to Charleston.
A press conference will be held tomorrow at College of Charleston.
So excited to be headed south tomorrow to join the C of C hoop family. Look forward to meeting our team, staff and admin. #cougarnation— Dick Bender (@dbcofchoop) September 5, 2014

Director of Operations
View Full Profile and J.D. Powell.
Bender is currently the director of operations for the Clemson men's basketball team.
Hearing that Earl Grant's staff likely to consist of Antonio Reynolds-Dean, Dick Bender (Clemson) and J.D. Powell (Citadel).— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) September 3, 2014
Bender's official bio:
Dick Bender enters his fifth season as director of operations for the men's basketball program in 2014-15. Bender, who joined the program after a coaching stint at Tulane, was the top assistant coach at DePauw University when Head Coach Brad Brownell was a player from 1987-91.
Bender has been a part of Brownell's staff for four seasons, and the Tigers have compiled a 74-58 overall record during that time and advanced to postseason play twice.
The Tigers improved by 10 wins from 2012-13 to 2013-14, posting a 23-13 overall record last season with a trip to the NIT semifinals. Clemson's 10-win improvement tied the school record for the best single-season turnaround.
In 2011-12, he was part of a staff that helped Clemson to a 16-15 overall record, 8-8 in conference play. It was the fifth straight ACC regular season with at least a .500 record for the Clemson program, an all-time record at the school. In addition, the Tigers knocked off three NCAA Tournament teams in Florida State, NC State and Virginia. The 20-point win over ACC Tournament champion Florida State would prove to the be the Seminoles' largest margin of defeat that season.
In his first season at Clemson, Bender was an important part of the staff that led the Tigers to a 22-12 final record in 2010-11. Clemson was 9-7 in the ACC, the No. 4 seed for the conference tournament in Greensboro, NC. The Tigers advanced to the NCAA Tournament for a record fourth straight season and won their first-round game over UAB, 70-52, in Dayton, Ohio.
Bender brought nearly 25 years of collegiate coaching experience, including 18 at the Division I level, to the Tiger staff when he was hired in 2010. He began his collegiate coaching career at DePauw in 1987 under the late Royce Waltman. He helped the Division III Tigers to an outstanding four-year overall record of 80-30.
DePauw was ranked No. 1 twice during his tenure. Bender helped the Tigers to a national runner-up finish in the 1990 NCAA Tournament.
After his stint with DePauw, Bender served as an assistant coach under Ron Bradley at Radford from 1991-97. The Highlanders compiled the top conference record and non-conference record of all the teams in the Big South during Bender's six seasons with the program. He was part of the coaching staff that guided Radford to a 73-72 upset over LSU during the 1993-94 season.
Bender left Radford in 1997 and was reunited with Waltman as part of the staff at Indiana State. Bender coached with the Sycamores for 10 seasons from 1997-2007. He helped ISU to consecutive 20-win seasons and NCAA Tournament appearances in 1999-2000 and 2000-01.
In 1999-00, the Sycamores compiled a 14-4 record in the Missouri Valley Conference and won the regular season title. Indiana State then won the MVC Tournament the following season. The Sycamores went on to upset No. 4 seed Oklahoma, 70-68, in the first round of the 2001 NCAA Tournament.
Bender was also part of the ISU staff that defeated perennial power Indiana in back-to-back seasons. The Sycamores defeated the Hoosiers in Bloomington by a score of 63-60 on Dec. 11, 1999, Bob Knight's final season at Indiana. Then, the following season, ISU won 59-58 with a buzzer-beater at home over Mike Davis' squad.
The native of Grantsville, Md., graduated from Western Maryland in 1986 and earned a master's degree from DePauw in 1989. He was a two-year letterman and team MVP at Western Maryland. He was third in the nation in 1985-86 in free throw accuracy for Division III players with a 91 percent clip.
Bender and his wife, Beth, have two sons: Dalton (22) and Dillon (20). Dalton is a Tulane graduate currently working in New Orleans and Dillon is a rising junior basketball player at Mt. Aloysius College in Cresson, Pa.

"Union Station cab stand!!!"
That's right, that's were the lunch money is at. It's a very well known fact among cabdrivers that some of these thugs or the so called hack inspectors harass cabbies at Union Station. For minor shit like a missing hubcap they accept as little as $5 lunch money in favor of not giving a citation ticket. Drivers are afraid to speak out because of the potential retaliation. The DC Taxicab Commission is run like a family mafia, that I will describe about those lazy ass incompetent retards in my next blog or so.
When my man Paul Wagner from Fox 5 reported that one of the hack inspectors has a long history of criminal records like assault and armed robbery, I wasn't surprised for a second! I think all the hack inspectors in hand should fill out their job application again. This time truthfully and let's see how many of them will survive after they go through full background check like we the cabdrivers go through every two years.
My crystal ball is telling me that the District of Columbia government will need bunch of new hack inspectors after all said and done. So I suggest Mr Russ Ptacek a reporter from channel 9 for a hack inspector position! He is a hack inspector wannabe who has been harassing cab drivers for some time now in the name of investigative reporting. So Russ, there is going to be an opening pretty soon, go for your dream job man!
"How dare you diss Russ, Mad Cabbie? Russ Ptacek is an Emmy Award winner, serious reporter who came from the journalism capital of the world! Kansas!"
Emmy Award my ass motherfucker! Every creep on TV has an Emmy, it's like the pee-wee league, everyone wins a trophy! I know a guy who works in the boiler room at channel 9 who has won it three times man!
The District of Columbia should require a full background check and a college degree to all law enforcement personnel including hack inspectors.
"College degree don't mean shit Mad Cabbie, look at yourself! Shady ass college educated cabdriver! What's wrong with my GED? All I do is pull over these sand niggers and write tickets all day long! Why do I need a degree in physics to be a DC hack inspector?"
That's not funny motherfucker, my degree in mathematics is in use to help me give the correct amount of change to my passengers!
Look, there are all kind of retards running around with college degrees like myself, but a college degree at least is a starting point telling the employer that the potential employee made a four year commitment to do something positive instead of doing drive by and armed robberies.
DC cab drivers thank defense attorney Shawn Sukumar from the Washington DC law firm Price Benowitz for defending a fellow driver and for exposing this thug hack inspector which we will know the name pretty soon. At the same time, not all the hack inspector are shady, like any other business there are always few bad apples, maybe in this case more than a few. We demand full investigation of the backgrounds of all DC hack inspectors and a complete overhaul of the hiring process as soon as possible.
When I am pulled over by a hack inspector, I don't want to second guess if the inspector is going to rob my ass at gun point, I have plenty of my passengers who do that for a living.
Please don't forget the homeless,
Mad Cabbie.

True Wild Life | Macaroni Penguin | The macaroni penguin is a large-sized species of penguin found in the Sub-Antarctic regions. the macaroni penguin is one of six species of crested penguins is so closely related to the royal penguin, that some people class the two as the same species. The macaroni penguin spends most of its time during the colder winter months fishing in the cold oceans where the macaroni penguin is more protected from the bitter conditions of the Antarctic winter on the land. However, when the summer is approaching and temperatures at the South Pole increase, the macaroni penguin makes it way to land in order to breed.
The macaroni penguin is the most numerous species of penguin on the planet as there approximately 18 million macaroni penguin individuals. The macaroni penguin population numbers are declined severely over the past few decades meaning that the macaroni penguin is today considered to be a vulnerable species. Macaroni penguins are one the biggest and heaviest species of penguin as adult macaroni penguins generally average about 70cm in height. The macaroni penguin also has a couple of very distinctive features including a long red-coloured beak and a crest of thin bright-yellow feathers on its head.
Like other penguin species, the macaroni penguin is a carnivorous animal as the only source of food is in the surrounding water. The macaroni penguin spends six months during the cold winter months hunting fish, squid, krill and crustaceans which the macaroni penguin catches in its long beak. The macaroni penguin only has a couple of natural predators in the freezing Antarctic Ocean as there are only a number of animal species that can survive there. Leopard seals, killer whales and the occasional passing shark are the only real predators of the macaroni penguin.
The macaroni penguin returns to the land during the warmer summer months in order to breed. Macaroni penguins gather in large colonies which can contain up to 100,000 individuals in order to lay their eggs. Female macaroni penguins generally lay two eggs a couple of days apart that hatch after about six weeks. Both the male and female macaroni penguin parents help to incubate the eggs and raise the chicks.

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague for the truthfulness of her remarks.
The issue of OAS and changing the age of eligibility from 65 to 67 is particularly poignant. It was in Guelph that the Prime Minister made the unequivocal promise that he would not change the OAS, would not reduce it and in fact would make it more robust, as if to suggest that 10 years from now people would not need two years of help. The very people, the aging, those who are suffering the most and needing the most help are going to be deprived of that help.
It is not enough to just criticize. I know the hon. member has been involved and engaged very heavily in the creation of an alternative program, the supplementary Canada pension plan, that would be better than changing the OAS. Could she talk about that for a few moments?

most influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:

Larry Hanson, publisher of the Snohomish County Business Journal when it was launched in April 1998, had a dream of a countywide publication for the business community.
He envisioned it as a monthly report on the health of the local economy, what people in the business community were doing, new construction projects, financial trends and profiles of interesting businesses.
He believed the business journal would fill a need. He thought such a publication could go on for 20, 30, 40 years and more, knowing the need would always be there. He was right. The business journal has proven to be the right publication, at the right time, in the right niche.
The business magazine that began as The Herald Business Journal was renamed several years ago to reflect the geographic area we cover.
With this month's issue, we've completed our first 10 years, producing more than 4,800 pages of Snohomish County business news and photos during that time, including our annual Business Women issue.
And, we've published more than 600 pages of statistical information and economic growth trends in our first nine issues of Market Facts, our annual economic profile of the county.
On this 10th anniversary, we're also launching an updated Web site, at www.scbj.com. I'll be writing a blog on Snohomish County business news for our Web site, our latest effort to provide you with more immediate news in between our monthly magazine issues.
Publisher Steve Hawes, General Manager Gary Hauff, SCBJ Assistant Editor Kimberly Hilden and I are dedicated to providing our readers with the best product possible.
We thank you for your great support.

After making a few batches of basil pesto last week, I used a portion of the fresh stuff to make this yummy summery pasta dish. Enjoy!
Pesto Chicken and Pasta
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 Tablespoons oil (I use canola or olive oil)
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup pesto
- 1 box penne pasta, cooked and drained
- fresh parmesan (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil until done. Remove chicken from skillet, cut into bite sized pieces and set aside. Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted water according to directions.
Over medium high heat in skillet used for cooking chicken, add sun dried tomatoes, chicken broth and pesto. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add chicken back to skillet with pesto mixture. Stir in cooked pasta and cook for a few more minutes adding salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese.Pin It

This guide is not and should not be interpreted as investment advice, a recommendation regarding a course of action or as an endorsement of cryptocurrency or any specific provider, service or offering.

Performance is unpredictable, and past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Consider your own circumstances and obtain your own advice before relying on this information.

Notes: Images can be clicked to see a larger version.
If you're confused by any terms used, a glossary can be found here.
This guide is kept up-to-date as much as possible, but websites & software are being constantly updated- your experience may differ from what is documented.
There are three parts to this guide (click to skip to them): Setting up a Dcorp wallet, buying Ethereum and then exchanging Ethereum for Dcorp.
For this guide we'll be using the easiest & most convenient wallet option for storing your Dcorp coins- provided by MyEtherWallet (which can store any coin on the Ethereum blockchain, including Dcorp).
Go to myetherwallet.com and enter a password that would be hard to guess (but which you won't forget!).
Note: if you forget this password you might lose access to your coins.
Press 'Create New Wallet'.
Click 'Download Keystore File'. Be sure to read and understand the warnings.
It's very important that you back this file up somewhere safe (think multiple external hard drives and/or USB drives that you put somewhere safe).
Once you've done that, click 'I understand. Continue.'
Now you will be given a powerful unencrypted private key to your wallet.
Note: Never give your private key to anyone. If you do, they can open your wallet and take your coins.
Consider printing out your private key and storing it somewhere safe- then deleting all references to it from your computer. Why? Because sometime in the future you might get a virus, or malware, or visit a website with an advert that has malicious code.
These things will target a private key, as it's an easy way to open your wallet and steal your coins.
So why print out your private key at all, if it's so insecure? Because it's your last resort. If you lose your keystore file (e.g. your computer gets wiped or damaged), or if you forget your password, with your unencrypted private key you can still access your account as a last resort.
There is also an option to print a paper wallet (which displays everything you'd need to access your wallet).
If you choose to print this, treat it just like the Keystore file you just downloaded- keep it hidden and keep it safe.
Next, click 'Save your address'.
Now we're going to open your new wallet.
Select the 'Keystore File' option, then upload the keystore file you saved in step 2, then enter your password.
Once you're done, scroll down the page to see your opened wallet.
You will see a long string of letters and numbers labelled 'Your Address'.
This is your personal wallet address, and it's where we're going to be sending your Dcorp coins.
Copy this address and keep it somewhere safe as we're going to need it soon.
Now we'll purchase the popular cryptocurrency Ethereum, so that we can exchange it for Dcorp (if you already own Ethereum you can skip ahead).
Choose which Ethereum exchange you'd like to use (by clicking on the logo), and the guide will continue:
If you use this link to sign up to Coinbase we'll both receive ten dollars of free coins when you spend over $100 (or the equivalent in your currency).
Press the 'sign up' button and fill out your name (make sure this is exactly how it's written on your photo ID), email and a password.
Just like a US bank, Coinbase is regulated by the US government, and has to follow strict financial rules. So they take verifying your identity very seriously. It's a pain, but it does give Coinbase a reputation for being the most trusted way to convert fiat currency to cryptocurrency.
To verify your account you must supply a phone number, upload an image of your photo ID and verify a credit/debit card or bank account before you can buy.
Using a credit/debit card on Coinbase means higher fees but offers instant purchasing. Using a bank transfer is cheaper but slower (taking up to a week to get your coins).
Once your payment details are verified, click 'buy/sell' on the top menu.
Select 'Ethereum', and at the bottom of the page choose how much to spend in your local currency / how many coins you want to buy.
Once you're happy with the amount, click the big 'Buy' button.
You'll be asked to confirm your purchase.
Press the 'Confirm Buy' button.
Congratulations! You now own some Ethereum. But don't close Coinbase yet, we're going to need it again in a few minutes.
Click here to go to Coinmama.
In the sign up form, enter your email address and first and last name (make sure these are exactly the same as on your photo ID).
Enter a strong password (that you won't forget!).
Select your country, tick the box to show you understand their terms and conditions and press 'Register'.
You will be sent an email to confirm your email address.
Go find that email and click the link in it.
You will be informed that your email is now confirmed. Press 'Continue'.
You will be prompted to log in. Enter your email and password and press 'Login'.
You won't be able to buy any Ethereum until you verify your account.
In the left-hand menu, click 'Verify your account'.
You will be asked to fill in your personal details. Once you have, press 'Next'.
Here you need to upload some pictures of your ID.
You're also asked to take a selfie of yourself holding your ID, as well as writing 'Coinmama' on a piece of paper with today's date.
Make sure none of these pictures are blurry, or they will be rejected.
Once you've uploaded the files you'll be informed your documents are under review- unfortunately you'll have to wait until you're verified to continue your purchase.
Click here to go to Cex.io
Click the 'Register' button along the top menu.
Enter your email address and a secure password. Click the checkbox to agree to the terms.
Click 'Register'.
You will now be asked to set up 2-factor authentication for your new account. It is strongly advised not to skip this step, as 2-factor authentication makes your account far more secure.
We recommend using the 'Smartphone App' option.
Once your security has been set up, you'll be taken to your account dashboard.
Before we do anything else, head on over to your personal email account- there will be an email from Cex.io asking you to click a link to verify your account. Click it.
You will be taken to a page telling you your email has been confirmed. Click 'Go back to the site'.
Look for your user ID in the top menu, hover your mouse over it and in the drop down menu click 'Verification'.
Every exchange that lets your buy cryptocurrencies for cash require you to verify your identification before doing so.
Complete the Cex.io verification process by supplying your personal information and uploading your ID.
Once you're verified, click the 'Deposit' button along the top menu.
You now get to choose how you'd like to deposit money:
Via credit/debit card
If you choose credit/debit card you can buy instantly, but you pay commission on the money you deposit.
Via bank transfer
This option takes a few days for the transfer to arrive but has no commission fees.
Choose the method you prefer and follow the instructions to deposit your money.
Once your money is in your account, click 'BUY/SELL' on the top menu.
Choose 'ETH' and the currency you'd like to buy it in (Dollars, Euros, Pounds or Rubles).
You will be offered some precalculated amounts of Ethereum, or you can scroll to the bottom of the page and input the amount of Ethereum you'd like to buy in the 'Custom amount' box.
Once you've decided, click 'Buy'.
You'll be asked to confirm your buy.
Check everything looks correct and click 'Confirm the order'.
Congratulations- you now own some Ethereum!
Press 'Ok'.
Click here to go to Etherdelta.
If the Ethereum / Dcorp exchange is not preselected (it will say DRP next to the Etherdelta logo) click on whichever coin name is there instead to access a drop down menu- find DRP in there and click it.
Note: If you ask for help in the Etherdelta chat channel, people claiming to work for Etherdelta may ask for your private key to help you. These are scammers- never give your private key to anyone.
Along the top menu, click 'Select Account' and then 'New Account'.
You will be presented with a new Ethereum wallet address and its private key.
Copy both of these down somewhere safe.
Note: if you lose this private key you may lose access to your coins.
Once you have the information saved, press 'OK'.
Now, return to Coinbase.
Click 'Accounts' from the top menu, then find your Ethereum wallet listed on the left.
Click 'Send'.
In the 'Recipient' box, paste the Ethereum wallet address we just copied from Etherdelta.
In amount, type how much Ethereum you wish to send (there is a 'use max' option if you wish to send it all).
Click 'Continue'.
Coinbase may ask you to confirm with your password/phone. Follow the instructions until it confirms the Ethereum are sent.
Go back to Cex.io
Press 'Withdraw' on the top menu.
Under 'Select currency and amount' click 'USD' and select 'ETH' in the drop down menu.
Input the amount of Ethereum you're sending.
In the box labelled 'Enter the recipient's address below' paste the Ethereum wallet address we just copied from Etherdelta.
Once you've looked everything over, click the check box to confirm you've double checked everything is correct.
Press 'Withdraw'.
You will be asked for a 2-factor authentication number.
Use your selected method of authentication to generate the number and write it in the box. Press 'Confirm'.
You will be sent an email to confirm the withdrawal.
Go to your personal email and click the link Cex.io has sent you. This will send the coins on their way.
Go back to Etherdelta.
It's going to take a few minutes for your Ethereum to reach your account.
While you're waiting, consider sharing this guide with your friends and followers to spread the word about Dcorp, encouraging its popularity and value to grow.
Here's some share buttons to make it easy:
Before we do any trading, we're going to adjust the 'gas' amount that our Etherdelta transactions consume. This will help keep things moving swiftly, as Etherdelta's default settings can mean long waits for coins to move.
On the top menu click the furthest right button, then select 'gas price'.
In the popup that opens, you want to type a minimum of '30', and then click 'Set gas price'.
Note: If you don't set a high enough gas price your transactions can be very slow, or even fail, so we encourage you to visit this site and pay attention to what the 'Recommended gas price' is at this moment. We suggest setting your Etherdelta gas price to be the same as the 'Gas Price (gwei)' number suggested for 'Standard (<5m)'.
Here's more information on how gas works.
Once the Ethereum is in your account it will show under 'BALANCE'.
Now we have to move that Ethereum so that it's available to trade. Beneath 'ETH' In the box marked 'Amount' enter how much Ethereum you're ready to trade for Dcorp.
Note: Do not enter the whole amount of Ethereum. You need to leave a little in this wallet to cover gas fees. For example, if you have 10 Ethereum to trade, enter 9.95 in this box.
Once you're happy with the amount, press 'Deposit'.
A pop-up will appear to let you know you're moving the coins. If you wish, you can click the link it gives you and watch the transaction take place on the Ethereum blockchain.
Once the Ethereum has moved to the 'Etherdelta' column in your balance you're ready to trade.
Look at the 'Order Book'. This is telling you the current buy and sell orders for DRP. The red orders are users wanting to sell DRP, the green orders are users wanting to buy DRP.
Let's look at each column by itself:
DRP/ETH - this is the ratio of one coin to the other, for example, 0.01 in this column would mean 0.01 Ethereum will buy you 1 DRP.
DRP - this is the number of DRP that the user wants to buy or sell.
ETH - this is the amount of Ethereum that the transaction will cost.
Buying option one
The first (and easiest) way to buy DRP is to simply click a (red) sell order, and in the pop-up that appears press 'Buy'.
Note: There are sellers who purposefully list coins at a bad exchange rate in an attempt to trick users into paying too much. Be very careful to check that the sell order is offering a fair price. Use this calculator to be sure you're getting a reasonable exchange rate of Dcorp to your Ether.
You can edit the amount of DRP you're buying in the 'Amount to buy (DRP)' box if you don't want to buy the full amount of the order.
If the exchange is successful a pop-up will appear with a link to the transaction on the blockchain.
Buying option two
The second option (and one we do not recommend for first time users of Etherdelta) is to buy DRP by using the 'New Order' option.
In the 'DRP' box type how many DRP you'd like.
In the 'DRP/ETH' box type the ratio you'd like to buy at. Be very careful- Etherdelta has become notorious for users being confused by what ratio to use and exchanging their Ethereum at a terrible rate.
For a good idea of what ratio to use, look at the top buy order for what the going rate is- in the example image it is 0.011. This translates as 0.011 Ethereum coin buying 1 DRP coin.
The next box, ETH, will automatically fill with the amount of Ethereum this transaction is going to cost. If this looks correct, go ahead and press Buy. The order will go onto the exchange. It will either be filled by a seller, or will eventually expire, which means your Ethereum will be returned to your trading balance unspent.
If you used buying option one your DRP will soon appear in your Etherdelta wallet.
If you used buying option two, the DRP won't appear until your order is filled.
Either way, once the DRP is in your wallet, you're going to want to move it to your Myetherwallet address.
In the 'Balance' box press 'Withdraw', and in the box under DRP, type the amount of DRP in the Etherdelta column.
Press 'Withdraw'.
A pop-up will give you the transaction address if you wish to view it on the Ethereum blockchain.
Your DRP will take a few minutes to move from the 'Etherdelta' column to the 'Wallet' column. When it has, this means the DRP are currently residing in the wallet we created in step .
But we don't want it there, we want it in the secure and backed up wallet we created in step 5. So, in the Balance box, click 'Transfer'.
In the box under DRP write the amount of DRP in your wallet.
Replace the current wallet address with your Myetherwallet wallet address- the one we copied down in step 5.
Note: You CANNOT store Ethereum tokens, such as Dcorp, on Coinbase. If you send your Dcorp to Coinbase you will lose them.
Click 'Transfer'.
Note: We suggest you do a test transaction first using a small amount of DRP.
A pop up will appear with the transaction reference on the blockchain.
Go back to MyEtherWallet.
You should now see the Dcorp (abbreviated to DRP) in your wallet under 'Token Balances'.
One note of importance is that the example wallet in this guide has no Eth in it. Why is that important?
Dcorp coins exist as a token on the Ethereum network. To move Dcorp coins across that network costs 'gas', which are in the form of Ether coins. If in the future you want to move your Dcorp coins to another address, you're going to need some of those Ether coins to power the transaction.
You already know how to buy Ether, but you can use this guide if you're still unsure how to move them to your personal wallet.
What about when you're ready to sell your Dcorp?
You simply reverse the order of tasks you performed in this guide.For example, you send your Dcorp to Etherdelta, exchange it for Ethereum, send that Ethereum to Coinbase Cex.io Coinmama Local Bitcoins and sell it for your preferred currency.

Congressman Brian Higgins, D-NY-26, joined the Alliance for Retired Americans on their National Day of Action to make their voices heard about the consequences of implementing chained CPI to calculate the cost of living adjustment, or COLA, Social Security benefits.
"For over 70 years, Social Security has been a safety net for seniors, ensuring that they can retire without fear of significant financial hardship, and a lifeline for disabled Americans as they strive to live full and productive lives," Higgins said. "Attempts to (reduce) our deficit and grow our economy should not come at the expense of seniors."
In Higgins' Congressional district, 157,562 seniors receive Social Security benefits, and 30,250 individuals receive Supplemental Security Income benefits. In 2012, the average annual benefit for beneficiaries aged 65 and older was less than $15,000. Higgins' camp said two out of five retirees rely on Social Security for 90 percent of their retirement.
"Senior citizens have spent a lifetime working hard at their jobs, supporting their families and paying into Social Security. They should be able to retire in dignity. They should not have to unnecessarily endure cuts to their financial well-being at the most vulnerable time in their lives," said Steve Muscarella, retiree and president of the Erie/Niagara Chapter of the NYS Alliance for Retired Americans.
The Alliance for Retired Americans said application of the chained CPI would reduce the annual COLA for beneficiaries by 0.3 percent every year, on average. Under this proposal, someone retiring at age 65 would lose nearly $5,000 in benefits by age 75. By age 85, they would lose almost $10,000. If they lived until 95, they would lose more than $15,000.
Higgins is one of 113 cosponsors of H. Con. Res. 34, which opposes using chained CPI to COLA for Social Security benefits.

Dr Bill is a busy boy. He is an active contributor to social networking sites including the new Google+ as well as a regular blogger.
I am chuffed that he made time to respond to my GeniMates questions, Thanks Bill.
Date: 9 Sep 2011
Name: Dr. Bill (William L.) Smith
Born and raised in Coon Rapids, Iowa (prior to college); lived all over the United States; currently reside in Hollister, near Branson, MO.
Hobbyist vs. Profession Genealogist ( I do not do genealogy work for others for pay)
I have been 'chasing my ancestors' - casually since mid-1970s; seriously since 1995.
My wife and I each had 'family tree' materials passed along to us in the 1970s from others (her mother, my aunt and parents). At the time, we developed interest but 'life' got in the way - three daughters and work prevented committing time or other resources to it. By 1995, we had more control of our time and resources, and made a personal commitment to begin "filling in the gaps" and to begin to "solve the mysteries" as well as travel to sites around the U.S. where our ancestors had lived.
Since June 2009 I am officially retired as Professor Emeritus from my University. I now read, write and research where my interests take me. I have published two novels with a third and fourth well underway. Besides my (several) blogs I write on two (weekly) topics for Examiner.com: Springfield Genealogy Examiner and Ozarks Cultural Heritage Examiner. (Ozarks is the mountainous region we live in consisting in parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma).
What are the lands of my ancestors?
My maternal grandmother was born in Denmark. I just learned who her grandparents were (all four), so I completed identification of my 'round of 16!' My paternal grandfather (Smith/Schmidt/Schmitt) was born in Alsace-Lorraine (France/Germany). His wife was born in Sweden. One third-great-grandfather was born in Ireland. All the rest of my lines go back to U.K., including Wales. Several lines are very long in the USA.
What Family Names are you Researching?
KINNICK is the surname I've done the most with. I have a KINNICK Surname Blog. I've published, in 2003, an online 900+ page update of a 1953 KINNICK family history.
From page two of my Dr. Bill Tells Ancestor Stories blog, these are my family names, thru 3rd GGparents, plus a few:
Butler, Carle, Christensen*, Duncan, Fad, Kinnick/Kennick, Krag, Miller, Mortensdatter, Nielsen*, Preston, Rolen/Rolin, Simmons, Smith/Schmitt, Soderstrom, Sorensen, Williams
*Same line - Danish naming convention explains difference.
Additional lines researched, further back:
Firestone, Jones, Kimmerling, Kirk, Lee, Schwyhart, Vesterstrom
Who is your favorite ancestor? Why?
Cannot do one - I'll hold to three, briefly:
1) James P. Preston - paternal grandmother's father - my aunt said, "We don't know much about my grandfather." NOT. She knew, but didn't want to share. He 'abandoned' his four children - in her viewpoint. My wife and I have very much enjoyed learning his story: California gold fields, Montana rancher, wealthy and poor… interesting stories.
2) John Butler - my Irish 3rd GGfather - fought in Rev War - many gaps in his history in early frontier days - at Hull's surrender of Detroit in 1803, etc.
3) William Kinnick - Sergeant Major in Revolutionary War - I'm working on a non-fiction book on him and his times.

Approaching 0.1
-added frozenset
-time.sleep now works on WIN32
-constant-string expressions and __doc__ attributes are made into nice C++ comments
-added --nowrap optimization option to ss.py (disables checking for negative indices)
-several minor bug-fixes reported by users of 0.0.15
Because I have a huge amount of spare time coming up to work on Shed Skin, I have started to think about what is necessary to do a 0.1 release. These are currently the most important shortcomings:
-support for iterators, generators and generator expressions
The first two seem mostly a case of how to do this nicely in C++, and the latter one seems easy.
-support for tuples t of len > 2 and with different types of elements
Again this seem mostly a case of how to do this nicely in C++. I'm looking forward to finding out how to do this.
-scalability of the type analysis
Because of all the details involved in doing a python compiler, I still haven't focused on this too much. The basic techniques seem to work very well, but I have many ideas yet to work out to improve scalability. Based on my work so far, I'm convinced it is possible to quickly analyze most programs up to a few thousands lines, even without any form of profiling.
-two-way integration with CPython
There may be some progress at this front, as another developer has decided to look into using boost.python for this purpose. It's rather exciting to see small fragments of this work already. If anything, it has made me optimistic about having something like this work in the near future.
-some optimizations: strings (replace std::string), indexing (remove wrap-around checks by proving an index expression is always positive), heap allocation (transform heap allocation into stack- and static preallocation, when possible)
While not essential for a 0.1 release, an important goal of Shed Skin is to generate really fast code. Especially the latter optimization would be a great master's thesis subject.. :-)

check out boost::tuple.
- srepmub said...
hi again baczek,
yes I'm aware of this, and it looks pretty nice. but it won't fit in the hierarchy of my C++ implementation of the python builtins. I will probably have a look at the code though, to see what (tricks) I can use.
- usagi said...
Hi Mark,
Do you think the two way integration with CPython will be ready for 0.1?
- srepmub said...
hello flavio,
yes, for me that is the most important goal for a 0.1 release :-) if you cannot build extension modules or import 're', for example, shed skin is not very useful in general.
- usagi said...
Hi MarK,
I have a wish for 0.1:
support for the threading module.
Is it too hard?
I hope it can make it...
It would free python programs from the GIL!!! Will it?
I have a question also:
If I want to add support to a pure-python package to SS, is there a way to automate the convertion of all modules within a package, or do I have to convert one module at a time?
- usagi said...
As a follow up, I actually tried to convert Threadin but got this error message from SS:
*ERROR* threading:5: no such class: 'ImportError'
Does SS support all built-in exception classes?
p.s. This error occurs in the line where threadin tries to import thread (a built-in module).
- srepmub said...
hello flavio,
thanks again for the comments/questions. it may be more useful to use the mailing list for extensive discussions though ^^ see the sourceforge site on how to subscribe.
>support for the threading module. Is it too hard?
I don't think it's too hard, but I'm not planning on looking at it anytime soon.. unfortunately I don't get much help, so other things have higher priority right now. you might have a go at it - see the README on how to implement libraries.
>If I want to add support to a pure-python package to SS, is there a way to automate the convertion of all modules within a package, or do I have to convert one module at a time?
if you have a single module, you can try to convert it in one go (this is what I did with getopt). support for hierarchies/packages of modules is still absent though in shed skin, so you'd have to hack your way around some limitations. the threading module/package is probably very nasty though..
>It would free python programs from the GIL!!! Will it?
I think you still need some kind of locks..
>Does SS support all built-in exception classes?
no, not yet. I'm adding them when I see them in a program I'm trying to support. you can see the ones are supported in lib/builtin.py. note that some are only there but never thrown. e.g., indexerror doesn't work yet (I will add a command-line option to ss.py to enable these). let me know if you really need an exception type hat is not supported.
as you can see from the version number also, shed skin is still in quite an early stage of development. I counted 22 largish programs though, and the stability is improving, but there's a lot more work to be done. please let me know if you encounter any other problems, have any wishes or would like to help out.
thanks ^^

As originally published by Sojourners, 10/18/2013, 4:32 p.m.
My child ate today. Breakfast was pancakes and sausage.
Walking to school I said, "If you don't like the leftover hamburger that I put in your lunchbox, just buy something from the cafeteria. You have plenty of money in your account."
Tonight we will have tacos, but if I am too tired to cook, we will order pizza.
I am grateful that I can feed my child every day.
I work for Church World Service — an international hunger-fighting agency and nearly every day I am confronted with a story of hardship or statistics about hunger and poverty. When I am not preparing a talk for a CROP Hunger Walkmeeting, I am reading about a CWS program to provide blankets or seeds and tools to struggling people somewhere in the world. Each week brings news of a new disaster or crisis.
I have a secret: Sometimes I am kind of numb to the whole thing. Desensitized. Maybe it is a coping mechanism.
This morning, in preparation for a hunger presentation, I read through a skit that told the firsthand experiences of a rich child alongside that of a poor child. In the middle of the reading, all of a sudden, the numbness wore off and I felt the grief of knowing that some children will not play, have a mom to walk them to school, or know if they will eat today.
As I read it, I pictured the face of my own well-fed child and then imagined the boys and girls I have seen at his school who don't have moms and dads with resources to make pancakes in the morning. Tears welled up in my eyes and I had to stop reading.
It is not right. It is not just. It is not necessary.
We have enough food in this world for everyone. There is enough for all. It is unacceptable that a child in my son's class will go hungry this weekend without a free lunch from school. It is a travesty that before you finish reading this missive a child will die somewhere in this world because she doesn't have enough to eat.
During these days of partisan politics, I am enlivened by the fact that one thing we all agree on is that no one should go hungry. In my 10 years working with CWS I have seen proclamations from mayors and governors from both sides of the aisle declaring "CROP Hunger Walk Seasons."
On Sundays in the fall and spring, I witness diverse faith traditions stepping out of their individual houses of worship and walking together through city streets and parks all over this state to raise awareness and funds for the cause of ending hunger.
In my moments of grief for those who hunger, I give thanks that I can make a difference and I find tremendous hope in the people of all faiths, political persuasions, ages and colors who are ending hunger, one step at a time.
Mary Catherine Hinds, CWS Senior Field Director, Southeast

I have been a wound care technician at a hospital for over a year. My feet have been in constant pain since my first day of employment. I am totally archless. I've had resting pain and pain after getting out of bed every morning. I've tried other orthotics from the podiatrist and pharmacies all to no avail. I decided to try the Protalus after seeing it for several months on Facebook. It was the best decision ever! My feet feel so much better, it's unbelievable! My coworkers can't believe the difference in my walk. I mean what a difference! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't say it enough. I am now a life-time customer.
Protalus ® insoles hold 54 exclusive patents and may only be purchased online. Validating our extensive in‑house testing, results from Martyn R. Shorten, PhD. prove that Protalus ® insoles better align the ankle up to 31% more than other insoles. This massive improvement in ankle alignment is responsible for the compounding effect on the entire body's kinetic chain and is part of what makes Protalus ® insoles so unique and beneficial.
Convenient shipping. No matter if you bought only one pair of insoles or several pairs we ship for free to your door anywhere within the United States of America.
Does the size not fit you? No problem - we will happily exchange them. For up to 90 days after your initial purchase we exchange your product for a different size.
No matter how much you have used our insoles we will refund your full money at any time within 90 days from your purchase with no restocking fee.
We are so confident that you will love your insoles just like 97% of our customers, that we offer a full 90-day love them or your money back guarantee. At any time during the first 90 days if you don't love your new insoles contact our Customer Service team for answers and solutions. If we cannot offer you a solution, we will accept the insoles back for a full refund. Contact us directly for a prepaid return shipping label.
During this time your body is undergoing gentle correction. It is not unusual to experience mild muscle soreness and/or achiness.
Alignment is in full function. You will experience less pain and can spend more time on your feet with less discomfort.
Your biomechanics are working correctly. Your back, hips, knees, and ankles work in alignment to create a better platform.
The difference lies in our patented TRI-Planar technology. Other insole companies place a stump under the arch and call it support. Our insoles focus on the cause of the problem rather than the symptoms, designed to help your body maintain a neutral ankle joint position, while still allowing full ranges of healthy movement. Proper joint alignment improves movement efficiency, reduces fatigue, and prevents injury to help you do what you love.

Your discount will be automatically applied to your cart once your multiple items are added.
Protalus Insole Finder was designed through years of clinical research and testing to answer one question:
How can we match the patented support of Protalus insoles to your needs to get as close to custom correction with unmatched comfort?
4 key areas drive the results: shoe type, arch type, foot width, and any current symptoms. With these 4 pieces of information, we can match the perfect insole to your foot and shoes. To date it has helped nearly 1 million people find the right fit.

All of the ingredients that make gazpacho so yummy — tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and bell peppers — turn up in this main-course salad.
- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- 2 medium heads of garlic, separated into cloves, peeled (about 24 cloves)
- 3/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, deveined but with shells intact*
- 8 firm plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 2 bunches green onions; root ends trimmed, onions left whole
- 1 1-pound sweet onion (such as Vidalia or Maui), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1 red bell pepper, quartered, cored
- 1 yellow bell pepper, quartered, cored
- 1 1/2 large English hothouse cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise
- 2 6x3x1-inch slices country-style bread
- 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved (about 1 pint)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
- Lime wedges
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Set aside 2 garlic cloves for bread slices. Place remaining garlic on double layer of heavy-duty foil; drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil over. Fold up and seal packet. Place directly on grill rack and cook until garlic is very tender and golden, about 30 minutes. Open packet; cool garlic.
- Toss shrimp (in shells) and 1 tablespoon oil in medium bowl to coat; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine plum tomatoes, green onions, sweet onion, both bell peppers, and 2 tablespoons oil in large bowl; toss to coat. Arrange cucumber halves and bread slices on baking sheet; brush with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle all vegetables with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp until just opaque, about 2 1/2 minutes per side; transfer to another bowl and cool. Grill vegetables until crisp-tender, turning frequently, about 3 minutes for plum tomatoes and green onions, 5 minutes for cucumbers, and 15 minutes for sweet onion and bell peppers. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet. Grill bread slices until just beginning to crisp and grill marks appear, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Rub bread with reserved garlic cloves, then discard garlic cloves.
- Peel shrimp; transfer to large bowl. Cut all vegetables and bread into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces; add to shrimp along with any accumulated juices. Stir in grilled garlic cloves and grape tomatoes. Whisk vinegar, hot pepper sauce, and remaining 4 tablespoons oil in small bowl; pour over salad and toss to coat.
- Do ahead: Can be made 1 1/2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
- Stir thinly sliced basil into salad. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges.

K-9 Doggie Bakery and Boutique
I am a woman business owner who had this boutique in a mall for 3 years. I have no children with 2 legs but I have 2 with 4 legs. I LOVE dogs and love my store. I just rescued a dog that had a chain embedded in her neck and was dragging a chain 10 feet long! Some people just don't care. I bake my own treats and they are very popular with the dogs. I am a 7 year cancer survivor that is why I am doing what I love.
I am moving my mall store to an upscale neighborhood. Although I will get new customers, I don't want my old customers to think now I am too expensive for them. Mainly women shoppers with small dogs but I don't want to leave anyone out.
I am looking for a logo to represent my dog bakery and boutique.I have a great sense of humor and would like something fun.My store colors are pink,black, and white. My last store sign which I will not use at this location had a dog sitting with his legs in the shape of a "K" for the K-9 in my name, and had a chef's hat on. I really like that idea. I don't want anything too elegant or fancy. No cartoons but be creative and have some FUN! Ready, set, GO!

Thousands of Port Said people are marching in protests calling for civil disobedience. Some activists and tweeps say that this is the first day in the civil disobedience. I do not know if it is volunteer civil disobedience or for instance the leading protesters from Ultras green Eagles played a role in encouraging and forcing the people in to civil disobedience according to what I heard from very active trusted sources.
The locals have blocked the industrial zone. The women are protesting and even blocked the main roads leading to the heart of the city.
It is crazy and honestly I do not think that this civil disobedience move has to do with the Port Said stadium massacre trial anymore.
I will not speak now , I will leave you with live updates from the city after the break.

And the award for parents of the year goes to Argentina's Analia Bouter and Fabian Veron, for insisting to see their child one last time after a team of obstetricians, gynecologists and neonatologists told them that their baby girl was stillborn — only to discover that the child was, in fact, alive.
Doctors had told the parents that the baby (who was born three months premature) was dead. Not fifteen minutes after the child was declared stillborn, doctors had whisked her away, placed her inside a wood coffin, nailed that coffin shut, and interred her living, breathing body into a refrigerated morgue, where it sat FOR TWELVE HOURS.
"I started to pry, took a deep breath, and took the top off," said Veron in an interview with Metro. "My wife was the first one to look at the body and she uncovered it slowly," he said.
"She saw the little hand and then uncovered the face. That's when it let the first little cry out."
Hospital authorities are apparently baffled, not only by the initial mistake, but as to how a newborn could possibly survive over 12 hours in a refrigerated room — let alone a baby born three months premature. Asked how the child could possibly have survived for as long as she did, the hospital's director said he had no explanation.
The baby girl is reportedly in recovery, and appears to be in good health. The team of five hospital workers behind what could have been one of the most horrifying screw-ups ever has since been suspended, and is presently under investigation. [Telegraph]

Hosting Expert:
With about 50 employees total (30 of which are support-focused), A2 Hosting strives for optimum performance and out-of-the-box thinking, which has led to the incredible innovations we discussed with Bryan and Andy. With a lot of performance testing and comparing their products to other hosts, A2 strikes the balance: speed and reliability meets quality support.
They were among the first in their field to offer SSD hosting (and even today they're one out of a handful), PHP 5, as well as Ruby on Rails for shared servers — thus representing their commitment to forward-thinking as a web host. With custom products like their Turbo Server, and A2-optimized tools for caching, WordPress, PrestaShop, and more (many of which can be installed with one click), A2 Hosting is cutting-edge and user-centric.
Are you a site-building amateur? Or on the other hand, are you an advanced user seeking ultimate reliability on dedicated servers? Perhaps you're just lost in the middle, searching for a happy medium between shared and VPS hosting. Regardless of where you fall on the hosting needs spectrum, A2 has a solution involving speed, security, and support for your website.
