Animal skin (does not protect against the spread of infections)
Latex rubber
If a condom is used regularly and correctly, it should prevent pregnancy 97% of the time, and prevent the spread of most STDs. The actual effectiveness among users, however, is only 80 – 90%. This is due to:
- Break in condom due to manufacturing problems (rare)
- Failure to use a condom during each act of intercourse
- Occasional tear of a condom during intercourse
- Semen spilling from a condom during withdrawal
- Waiting too long to put a condom on the penis (penis comes into contact with vagina before condom is on)
Condoms that contain spermicides may slightly further reduce the risk of pregnancy. However, they are no more likely to reduce the risk of HIV or STDs than condoms lubricated with other substances.
Condoms are available without a prescription and are inexpensive. You can buy them at most drugstores, in vending machines in some restrooms, by mail order, and at certain health care clinics.
Allergic reactionsto latex condoms are rare, but they do occur. (Changing to condoms made of polyurethane or animal membranes may help.)
- Friction of the condom may reduce stimulation of the clitorus and lubrication, making intercourse less enjoyable or even uncomfortable. (Lubricated condoms may reduce this problem.)
- Intercourse also may be less pleasurable because the man must pull out his penis right after ejaculation.
- Since the condom must be put on when the penis is erect, but before contact is made between the penis and vagina, there is usually a brief interruption during foreplay. Many couples solve the problem by making the process of placing the condom on the penis part of foreplay.
- The woman is not aware of warm fluid entering her body (important to some women, not to others).
For the best protection, the condom must be put on before the penis comes into contact with or enters the vagina (because pre-ejaculation fluids carry both sperm and disease).
- Remove the condom from its package, being careful not to tear or poke a hole in it while opening the package.
- If the condom has a little tip (receptacle) on the end of it (to collect semen), place the condom against the top of the penis and carefully roll the sides down the shaft of the penis. If there is no tip, be sure to leave a little space between the condom and the end of the penis. Otherwise, the semen may push up the sides of the condom and come out at the bottom before the penis and condom are pulled out. Be sure there is not any air between the penis and the condom. This can cause the condom to break.
- Some people find it helpful to unroll the condom a little before putting it on the penis. This leaves plenty of room for semen to collect and prevents the condom from being stretched too tightly over the penis.
- After ejaculation, remove the condom from the vagina. The best way is to grasp the condom at the base of the penis and hold it as the penis is pulled out.
- Make sure condoms are available and convenient. If no condoms are handy at the time of a sexual encounter, you may be tempted to have intercourse without one.
- Use each condom only once.
- Do not carry condoms in your wallet for long periods of time. Replace them every once in a while. Friction from opening and closing your wallet, and from walking (if you carry your wallet in your pocket) can lead to tiny holes in the condom. Nevertheless, it is better to use a condom that has been in your wallet for a long time than to not use one at all.
- Don't use a condom that is brittle, sticky, or discolored. These are signs of age, and old condoms are more likely to break.
- If a condom package is damaged, don't use the condom because it also may be damaged.
- Do not use a petroleum-based substance such as Vaseline as a lubricant. These substances break down latex, the material in some condoms.
- If you feel a condom break during intercourse, stop right away and put on a new one. Remember, ejaculation does not have to occur for a pregnancy to result (pre-ejaculatory fluids can contain active sperm), or for a disease to be transmitted.
- If ejaculation occurs with a broken condom, insert a spermicidal foam or jelly to help reduce the risk of pregnancy or passing an STD. You can also contact your health care provider or pharmacy about emergency contraception ("morning-after pills").
- Store condoms in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat.

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a type III intermediate filament protein that is a key structural element of the star-shaped glial cells known as astrocytes and some ependymal cells, which comprise the membranous lining of the ventricles of the brain and the spinal cord's central canal. When astrocytes of the brain are injured, the cells respond by increasing their numbers through astrogliosis, an event that closely correlates with increased GFAP expression. Glial fibrillary acidic protein associates with the annexin II-p2 and S-100 proteins, which together with phosphorylation regulate the polymerization of GFAP. The intermediate filament protein can be readily targeted for the purposes of fluorescence microscopy through immunofluorescent labeling involving antibodies. It is interesting to note that antibodies to GFAP have been reportedly detected in human subjects suffering from dementia.
The adherent log phase culture of rat enteroglial cells presented in the digital image above was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-GFAP mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Cy3. The culture was also stained for DNA with Hoechst 33258 and for F-actin with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

In recent years, the health care industry has been revolutionized by software designed to help organizations manage their processes. With the days of paper records increasingly confined to the past, health care professionals can now capture, track and analyze all their critical data with software tools—enabling them to find efficiencies, boost savings and improve the quality of the care they deliver.
Hospices are no exception to this trend: Today specialized software exists, designed to meet the very particular needs of this important sector of the health care industry. This guide will help prospective buyers learn more about hospice software.
In it, we'll cover:
What Is Hospice Software?
Common Functionality of Hospice Software
Deployment Models
Benefits of Hospice Software
Industry Trends
Hospice software is a more specialized subset of general home health charting and billing solutions. Hospices must strike a balance between running a business smoothly and effectively and delivering quality care with compassion. Here, finding efficiencies is crucial: The less time spent wrangling clinical, financial and administrative data, the more time hospice staff will have to dedicate to looking after patients.
By capturing and consolidating all that administrative data and making it accessible to managers and administrators, hospice software can play a key role in achieving these goals. With your records and analytics centrally stored and accessible via a few clicks of a mouse, more energy and time can be dedicated to patients.
It is especially important for hospice agencies to invest in software that allows users to easily access end-of-life documentation, such as advance directives and Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST). Many patients have prepared this type of documentation, embracing the idea that this may help them carry out their final days on their own terms and free from unwanted or invasive life-sustaining medical measures.
In a recent survey of health care professionals who work in medical practices and senior care centers, Software Advice researchers found the greatest percentage of respondents feel software is a much more effective storage method than paper records for end-of-life decision documents.
Hospice processes are very complex, and software can be correspondingly rich in features. At its core, however, it should cover these areas of functionality, if your organization is to benefit from the advantages technology can bring:
|Essentially a hospice EMR, clinical functionality helps simplify clinical processes with tools for managing the documentation of patient care, administering medication, automating alerts and calculating risk assessments, among other capabilities.
|Provides tools for managing all aspects of payment, including payroll reporting, Medicare tracking, billing compliance and revenue cycle management.
|Grants access to employee and patient data to improve the efficiency of scheduling tasks, clinicians, personnel and other resources. Also comes with reminders and an overall view of schedules.
|Reporting and analytics
|Gives users fast insights into the complexities of business revenue and expenses—such as billing, inventory, sales, cost of care and key business metrics. Central dashboards give insight and aid with decision-making.
|Staff management
|Enables managers to keep tabs on staff via time- and absence-tracking tools.
|Volunteer tracking
|Allows administrators to manage volunteer hours and create schedules for them.
|Custom forms
|Generates customizable forms for a variety of documentation needs, including: Medicad waivers, consent forms, assessments, dietary plans, social service paperwork and more.
Hospice software can be cloud-based or installed on-premise. Cloud-based products have the advantage of simplicity: There is no software to install, updates run automatically and IT staff are not required to manage the technical specifics.
In addition, cloud products are flexible. Critical data is accessible at all times on all Internet-enabled devices, such as laptops, iPads and Android tablets—which enables hospice workers to bring the system with them as they visit patients in their rooms, or to access vital information after hours in case of emergency.
By contrast, on-premise versions can allow administrators more control over the system, but they also require more maintenance, and typically do not offer the advantage of mobility.
A dedicated hospice solution has many benefits, some of which include:
Vast reduction of waste and inefficiency. Software enables hospices to drastically reduce paper usage, while benefiting from the efficiencies of automation and streamlined access to critical information. Maintaining up-to-date records is simplified, as is the process of making sure the organization adheres to compliance standards. Meanwhile, with less time spent on administrative procedures, staff are liberated to dedicate more time to patient care, thus boosting morale.
Improved reporting. The reporting and analytics tools included in software collect information from patient forms and display key performance metrics in accessible dashboards. This gives managers fast insight into standards of care in their organization, as well as into questions related to business performance. Meanwhile, reports that once took a long time to prepare manually can now be generated quickly and efficiently—with a reduced likelihood of human error.
Greater security. Hospice software is usually more secure than paper records for storing sensitive patient information. Paper-based documentation may get stolen or misplaced. On the other hand, software provides layers of security that prevent breaches of patient data, such as encryption and role based access control.
Customer relationship automation. Some hospice agencies are seeking a solution to help them scale their operations in addition to managing their day-to-day clinical and financial workflows. This is why vendors are starting to introduce customer relationship management (CRM) tools as stand-alone, add-on or integrated applications. These help agencies manage contacts and identify the top referring health care providers in a client's market so valuable referral sources can be targeted for outreach.
Mobile integration. It's very important for care takers to make patients feel as comfortable as possible, but it can be difficult to do so when they're typing in health information on a desktop computer. For this reason, vendors are enabling their software to integrate with mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. These devices are less obtrusive, allowing staff to have more face time with patients while still fulfilling documentation requirements.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2)
Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B-2, is a water-soluble vitamin that promotes normal growth, facilitates the breakdown of fat, and aids the syntheses of steroids, red blood cells, and glycogen. Natural sources of vitamin B-2 include almonds, yeast, cheese, eggs, chicken, beef, organ meats, and wheat germ.
View a second image of riboflavin.
Synthesized riboflavin is available as a dietary supplement or is found in vitamin-enriched foods, such as skim milk and breakfast cereals, and is featured in animal feeds. Activation of vitamin B-6 and folic acid require riboflavin, and the vitamin is helpful in the treatment of cataracts and other eye disorders. Symptoms associated with riboflavin deficiency are inflammation of the tongue, light sensitivity, itching, dizziness, insomnia, and slow learning.
Named from the Latin word flavius (yellow) to denote the rich color of crystals formed from the pure vitamin and the deep yellow color it gives to urine, riboflavin was formerly known also as lactoflavin or vitamin G. Biochemically, riboflavin is metabolized to form the flavin coenzymes: flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). The functional moiety in both coenzymes is riboflavin's isoalloxazine ring system, which serves as a two-electron acceptor in enzymatic biochemical reductions. Enzymes that use a flavin cofactor are termed "flavoproteins" and have been extensively studied.
On an industrial scale, riboflavin is manufactured via biosynthesis using yeast or other fermenting organisms, and it is used as a yellow coloring agent and for vitamin fortification of foods such as cereals, sauces, vitamin supplements, and soups. However, it is difficult to incorporate into most food products because of it insolubility in water and thus, the more expensive, but water-soluble derivative, riboflavin-5'-phosphate is often used in milk products, jams, and sugar products. Upon ingestion, this chemically prepared supplement and dye converts to free riboflavin.

Looking for your new home can feel like a daunting task, especially if it's your first time going through the home buying process. Sometimes, all of the choices may feel overwhelming. You want to make the best decision for yourself.
Whether you are hunting for a project that will pry the kids away from their phones or you just want a head start on the spring, few home projects are as rewarding as a vegetable garden. Invest a few hours in planting today, some maintenance throughout the year and soon you'll be enjoying some delicious, home-grown veggies. Ready? Let's get started!
Before an owner can market a property to buyers that want to use a FHA loan, he will want to familiarize himself with the FHA's standards. FHA won't insure loans on just any property. While their standards aren't as stringent as they used to be, a home needs to be in relatively good condition to qualify for FHA financing.

Soda has long been criticized for its high sugar concentration, something that many experts blame for causing adverse health conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. And now, the sugary beverage may also play a role in a completely different area of health: human behavior.
In a new study published in The Journal of Pediatrics, researchers found that children who consume large amounts of soda per day experience more aggression, withdrawal and attention problems.
According to lead author Shakira Suglia, the idea to look at this relationship in children came from a similar study in teenagers.
In a previous study, my co-authors, Sara Solnick and David Hemenway had noted an association between soda consumption and violent behavior in adolescents, Suglia, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia Universitys Mailman School of Public Health, told FoxNews.com. I thought it might be interesting to see a similar association between younger children.
Utilizing data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study, Suglia and her team analyzed 3,000 5-year-old children from 20 large U.S. cities. The childrens mothers were responsible for self-reporting their childs soda consumption, as well as filling out a Child Behavior Checklist, which questioned them about symptoms of aggression, withdrawal and attention problems their child may have experienced over a two-month period.
With withdrawn behavior, we asked questions like, Is the child often quiet? Are they shy?
Do they have low energy? Suglia explained. For the aggression, we asked Does the child get into fights at school? Do they destroy things? Attack people? And this was all combined into one score.
Based on the mothers reports, the researchers found that 43 percent of the children consumed at least one soft drink a day, and 4 percent consumed four or more a day. After adjusting for several socioeconomic factors, Suglia and her team discovered that any form of soft drink consumption was associated with aggressive behavior. The relationship also resembled a dose-response effect, meaning the more soda a child consumed, the stronger the association with aggressive behavior.
Furthermore, the children who consumed four or more soft drinks a day had a significant association with higher withdrawn scores and higher attention problem scores.
The study does not explicitly prove a causal relationship between drinking soda and aggression, and Suglia acknowledges that some other environmental factor for which they did not adjust may explain the link. However, she believes that sodas main ingredients could be to blame.
Caffeine has been associated with child behavior problems, also sugar though the scientific evidence is mixed, Suglia said. But the only two main ingredients that have been examined are caffeine and sugar, so it could be either one of those, and it could be a host of other things (used in the drink).
Regardless of whether or not soda is the culprit behind these behavioral issues, Suglia said her findings simply add to the growing amount of evidence that sheds a harsh light on soft drinks.
We already know that soda consumption, particularly with young children, is associated with weight gain, so we already know there are negative health effects, Suglia said. So this is another study that suggests there may be even more negative effects of consuming soda among young children.
In response to the study, the American Beverage Association released this statement:
It is a leap to suggest that drinking soda causes these or any other behavioral issue. The science does not support that conclusion. The authors themselves note that their study is not able to identify the nature of the association between soft drinks and problem behaviors. Importantly, our member companies do not promote or market the consumption of soft drinks to children in the age group examined in this study.

A few years ago, an American named Rosemary Mahoney dumbfounded Egyptians by rowing 120 miles down the world's grandest river by herself, traveling in a country where bold women aren't the norm. She told her story in 2007's "Down the Nile: Alone in a Fisherman's Skiff," which The Christian Science Monitor named one of the 10 best books of the year.
Our reviewer Marjorie Kehe praised Mahoney's "quick-silver intelligence, her sharp eyes, and her slightly astringent voice," saying she's "a woman who doesn't suffer fools gladly. Yet at the same time she is patient and generous enough to allow people and things to show her their best – and they frequently do."
Amid this week's events in Egypt, I asked Mahoney for insight into the people and politics of the ancient land that suddenly has the world's attention.
Q: What did you learn about the relationship between Egyptians and their government (and authority in general) during your trip?
As an independent traveler embarking on the somewhat unusual venture of rowing alone down the Nile, I had reason to meet and talk with a lot of ordinary Egyptians in the smaller cities and rural areas of the country – farmers and fishermen, shopkeepers and school kids. I spend a total of three months in Egypt and in that time I had the impression that the people of Egypt felt very distant from their own government and rather fearful of it.
The younger people I met, most of whom were unemployed, had spent their entire lives under Mubarak's martial law. They seemed both resigned to it and frustrated about the prospect of change in their country. Mubarak's government has never allowed public political discourse and certainly not public political opposition.
The overwhelming sense I had was that the people felt they had no real freedom or power over their own destiny and no faith in the government's interest in their needs. They had no choice but to yield to and obey the police and the military.
A man could be thrown in jail for supposedly showing disrespect to a foreign tourist, whether or not the tourist had any evidence of such. The government was more a force to be endured rather than one to be appealed to for assistance.
Q: A lot of Egyptians live outside the big cities. Is their world a lot different? How do you think that might play out?
In a population of 90 million people it's never possible to find a truly unified voice.
The people demonstrating in the streets of Cairo and Alexandria are young educated professionals, government workers, business people, civil servants. Because they're educated and informed they take their democratic rights and responsibilities seriously. They understand what democracy should be. They have enough faith in the democratic process and enough hope for the future that they finally dared to say no to a government that has for years not only disrespected their rights as citizens but disregarded their basic needs.
But more than half of Egypt's population lives in rural areas. The farmers and fishermen living along the Nile beyond the cities are generally less well educated and more conservative, and though they live in extreme poverty (40 percent of the Egyptian population lives below the poverty level) and their daily lives are unbelievably difficult, they are generally less vocal and less inclined to feel that they could collectively effect any great change in their circumstances.
The turmoil taking place now in Cairo and the period of disorder and instability that's likely to reign in its aftermath could, in the short term, affect rural Egyptians in adverse forms that might give rise to real resentment.
Q: What surprised you the most about Egyptians? What were you most impressed by and most discouraged by?
I was struck most by the patience and ingenuity of the Egyptian people. They are absolute wizards at finding solutions to daily problems, at fixing things we would consider beyond hope.
I was also struck by their grace and gentleness. They really seem to me to be an admirably gentle and humane people, which is why it's so astonishing to see the volume of violence and outrage on the streets of Cairo this week. Clearly it's a measure of the extreme frustration and discontent that's been building over the years.
As an American, I think I was most surprised by the level of passivity and acceptance I saw in the average Egyptian in the face of real poverty and little or no opportunity for a better life. I did wonder at that time why so many Egyptians seemed to just accept their lot without expressing anger. Obviously that has changed.
Q: I'm curious about the role of women in the current events. They seem very peripheral. Did you get a sense that they play that kind of role overall in Egyptian society?
In the Islamic world, women are naturally less visible than men. Even in Egypt, one of the most progressive of the Arab countries, women tend to live in the margins of society and to have less power than men.
Among Egyptian men the rate of literacy is 70 percent. Among Egyptian women it's only 41 percent. Those numbers alone say a great deal about how Egyptian women are valued and how they are expected to spend their time.
Education is the key to self-possession and self-direction. Control of women is an important notion in Egypt. An educated woman is more difficult to control than an uneducated one.
Traveling alone in Egypt in the smaller cities, I found it difficult to talk with women, because they were not out on the streets or in the cafes as freely as the men were. Most of them were confined to their houses.
But I personally have found that educated Egyptian women can be very strong-minded, vocal, and daring. Some of the most cogent and logical speakers I've heard speaking from the crowd in Cairo have been women.
Q. What else did you learn during your trip that might shed light on what's happening now and what may happen next?
One of the things that surprised and disturbed me most in Egypt was the level of respect and honor that was bestowed upon the foreign visitor. As I said earlier, a man could be thrown in jail for allegedly showing disrespect to a foreign tourists.
As a foreigner in Egypt, I was treated with great deference, almost as if I was visiting royalty. This is due in large part to Egypt's economic dependence on tourism. For years the idea has been that nothing should upset the foreign tourist, because that could bring bad publicity for the country.
In Egypt I often felt that I was being granted rights and freedoms and a form of respect that the locals were often not being granted, and that made me uncomfortable. I remember thinking more than once that if I were an Egyptian, I would find it difficult not to resent these privileged foreign visitors.
That reverence for the foreigner has existed in Egypt since the time of Napoleon's invasion. And yet I think that the generosity and good-will that I received from the Egyptians I met was sincere and open.
Egypt occupies a unique position in the world as the cradle of civilization. What Egypt has historically, archaeologically, culturally is extremely important to all of us. Their history is, in a sense, everyone's history. That alone seems enough of a reason for us to support and even protect the stability and well-being of that country.
It's extremely difficult to say what might happen next. I, personally, came to love Egypt and the people I met there and I can only hope that we can maintain our good relationship with them.

No to Ottawa. The pads alone will break your ankles. Shunga is a temp course you can only play during tournaments. There is also a course at a Junior High just south of Olathe. It's not bad if you tee off 100 behind the tee pad. It's also a great Safari course. And don't forget Parkville!!!
We played jesse james. We played down under last year before that up/down rosey tournament. Foxhill is weak and has no tee pads. I vote for WW, blue valley, or smithville in no particular order

Pat Robertson Says Gay People Wear Special Rings To Cut & Infect People With HIV
Updated 3 p.m. pst with Robertson's "apology"
Pat Robertson has reached a new, previously unimaginable dangerous low. During a recent episode of his show on CBN, Robertson tells his frightened sheeple that gay people are wearing special rings designed to cut people and infect them with HIV while shaking hands.
"You know what they do in San Francisco, some in the gay community there they want to get people so if they got the stuff they'll have a ring, you shake hands, and the ring's got a little thing where you cut your finger," Robertson said. "Really. It's that kind of vicious stuff, which would be the equivalent of murder."
After CBN actually seemed concerned about the statement (it has scrubbed the comment from its uploads on YouTube), Robertson issued a non-apology apology.
"I was asked by a viewer whether she had a right to leave her church because she had been asked to transport an elderly man who had AIDS and about whose condition she had not been informed. My advice was that the risk of contagion in those circumstances was quite low and that she should continue to attend the church and not worry about the incident.
"In my own experience, our organization sponsored a meeting years ago in San Francisco where trained security officers warned me about shaking hands because, in those days, certain AIDS-infected activists were deliberately trying to infect people like me by virtue of rings which would cut fingers and transfer blood.
"I regret that my remarks had been misunderstood, but this often happens because people do not listen to the context of remarks which are being said. In no wise (sic) were my remarks meant as an indictment of the homosexual community or, for that fact, to those infected with this dreadful disease."
There. Feel better about his atrocious comments?
(h/t: Right Wing Watch)
A friend of my girlfriends suggested that all the stupid people be put on to their own continent, with everything they need, but take their children away to educate them, thus not spreading stupidity any further. Then let the stupid people die off. He of course would never say this while not on morphine in the hospital, and it is against what we believe. Albeit, reading this article sure makes me think its not too terrible of an idea, lol.
I've said this for years... and now it finally makes sense to me. Robertson looks like the love child of Yoda and Golem. Now I know why Robertson hates gays so much. Yoda and Golem deny they had anything to do with him (wouldn't you?). Poor Pat is just fighting back with the only thing he knows...hate.
Uh, yes I can. Hear. I will do it right now. If you belong to this club, if you voluntarily choose to associate and give money to christianity, then you are part of the problem. Christians do good? Well so what? They also promote murder, rape, bigotry and environmental destruction in the name of their holy book and deity.
Or in other words, if you are a member of the KKK and the KKK donates to a charity, you are still a member of the KKK.
Ole Scat Robertson.......
claimed that Katrina was God's retribution for the evil ways of NOLA. But has nothing of the sort to say when tornados in Oklahoma and flooding in Nashville destroyed and killed.......
Just another rightwing religious psychopath. Nothing new to see here folks; move along.
doesn't testify much to his faith to be afraid of aids. i've lost more than a few friends to aids and not once was i hesitant to be a true friend involved in their lives. however my fate to greet death is cast, i won't let fear of anything hinder me extending the true hand of friendship to anyone inflicted with anything. i know what i believe in.
Just sad he does not know anything about Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. or whether or not it is strictly a "Gay" Disease. He such an ill informed person, And i can not imagine anyone wanting to give this to another person, it carries such heartbreak for the person and the families, this Pat Roberson is supposed to be a Man of God?
OMG this man really needs to be taken off the air. He has definite mental issues and would like to know what his skeletons are in his closet or someone elses. He talks about Gays so much and talks such outlandish rediculous sayings, there has to be something wrong with him and something he is hiding. I dont know why his son allows him to stay on the air much less the network.
Ok, let's be fair. First, he's a bigot and insane. So, don't think I'm defending his history of hate. But notwithstanding the ridiculous "ring" theory, most everything else he says is surprisingly even-keeled and scientifically valid. You cannot, in fact, get AIDS from riding in a car, and you should not shy away from a charitable act just because the recipient has HIV/AIDS. He's wrong about the "Draconian laws" and in the course of world events, Pat has demonstrated that he is a right wing, fundamentalist, bigot. But I was actually kind of shocked to hear him say something that fit within the realm and logic of actual science.
This pathetic lying, old fart of an asshat has no freaking clue as to what the hell he is talking about, never has actually! Where does he come up with this unfounded nonsense bullshit? What he is doing mentally is far, far worse than what he is making up and, consequently, pretending is happening anywhere! He injects lies, hate and outright fear into the bottomlessly-empty minds of his ignorant followers and foments more ignorance and lays the ground work for physical attacks on gay folks everywhere with his blatant lying! Asshat, for sure, pathetic, indeed!

Ouch! Last night was bad on so many levels. Last night was a 2007 flashback. Here's my thinking on arguably one of the worst losses of the season.
1. Championship caliber teams don't lose to teams like the Washington Nationals down the stretch. Not after last season, anyway.
2. Pedro Martinez pitched better than I thought he would, but you can't let Anderson Hernandez beat you.
3. Technically, the bullpen didn't lose the game, but I have no faith in Duaner Sanchez, a future ex-Met.
4. Where's the offense?
Just bad in so many ways.

A little blog about life, family, food, and living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest

Move over cereal, it's time for: Potato Frittata Muffins! (Pssst ... they're gluten free, too!)
Well, this recipe is pain free, tastes so good, and is way easier to make than traditional frittatas. Now, I love traditional frittatas of all kinds. They are glorious! Sometimes, though, it's nice to cook once and eat for a couple of days.I made up this recipe after watching a late-night infomercial. Every now and then I get bouts of insomnia. Despite my state of exhaustion, I was up late again a couple nights ago. Usually sitting down zonks me out, so I thought I'd turn on the tube and wait for my vegetative state to commence. Boy, there are zippo late night TV viewing choices available. I could have watched Barney (although I have no idea why a little kids show is on in the wee hours of the morning), my next option included a million ways to buy and resell homes (yeah, right), switching channels only brought me to all sorts of shows on how to cleanse my system (hold me back, people), and then there was this infomercial on cooking. Guess what I picked.
The cooking lady was talking at warp speed and moving from machine to machine informing her overly-enthusiastic co-host on all the different meals that could be prepared in one of her handy dandy cooking apparatuses. It bakes, it broils, it steams, it cooks, well, by gosh, it all but wakes you up and drives you to church on Sunday. (Imagine my utterly comatose expression.) Anyway, one of the things she did was pour egg into the wells of this gadget and popped a tatertot in with them, then closed the lid and "baked" them. I thought, "Ugh, who wants to bite into a wad of potato like that. Wouldn't it be better to have layers of potato then egg like a frittata?" *DING* The proverbial bell went off in my sleep deprived brain causing the recipe making portion of said sleepy brain to kick in gear.
I just so happened to have a bag of tatertots in my freezer. It's another story on how I came to have a bag of tots. I prefer to make my own potatoes, but the bottom line is I have a bag of them taking up space in the freezer. It was time for them to go! I thought to myself, "Self, why not thaw out said tots and use them as a base crust for a baked breakfast." Here's what I came up with. They are so good, and I love having individual portions that can be heated and eated (I know eated isn't a word, but it rhymes here) in no time flat. Plus, my oldest gal, who is a picky eater extraordinaire, ate one and declared it good.
For future muffins, I will use my own leftover potatoes. In the meantime, these worked wonderfully. Join me now as I make the easiest baked frittata muffins ever!
2 tatertots, thawed, for each muffin tin, or use left over COOKED potatoes, about 1 heaping tablespoon per tin. (NOTE TO GLUTEN FREE EATERS: If using tatertots, make sure the ones you've chosen don't contain wheat ingredients. Many frozen potato products are coated in wheat.)
8 -10 eggs (for 12 muffin tins) Note: I use extra large eggs, use more eggs if yours are smaller.
2 tablespoons cream (makes the baked eggs fluffier)
Seasoned salt or salt and pepper
1 generous cup shredded cheese (shred it yourself folks, it tastes and melts so much better)
6 slices bacon, crumbled (you can use whatever you've got ... sausage, ham, pepperoni, whatever)
OPTIONAL: Some form of onion ... dried, chives, green, etc. I prefer this, but only put it in a few 'cuz the kidlin's don't like "stuff" in their food. Foolish children!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease your muffin tin including the top of the pan.Side Note: I date everything, every container that is, that I open. Ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc., all get dated. That way I can tell at a glance if a product is getting near being past its prime.In a large measuring cup or a bowl, whip your eggs until uniformly colored. Add the cream and seasoned salt. Beat again until incorporated.
Place two tots into each muffin tin, and "smoosh" them down to make a sort of crust all along the bottom and part way up the sides.Sprinkle with seasoned salt, and onions if using. That's season salt you see on the tins, not rusty specks. Place the meat of your choice on top of the tots,and cover the meat with a spoonful of cheese.Now carefully pour your egg mixture on top of this, filling each cup about 2/3rds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until nicely golden on top.I placed my tins on top of a foil lined tray for ease in getting in and out of the oven.The muffins will puff up beautifully in the oven, and then will immediately shrink down. Remove the muffins immediately from the pan. Serve. Make yummy noises.You'll note that I didn't add any veggies to these. Of course you can! My goal was to recreate a potato frittata, but I'm certain any combo of fillings would work here. I loved these. They are great as is, or with some salsa spooned on top. YUM!What combo of ingredients do you think you'd enjoy?

To quote my Cassandra, "Nom, nom, nom!" I'd use ham or bacon, cheddar, tomatoes, and maybe a touch of chives or green onion. I just adore tomato with eggs, or any other way for that matter. I suffer insomnia every other day, but lay awake in bed trying to sleep, because otherwise I'll find a million things that need attention. And as for my dearly beloved? Well, I have to keep him from infomercials, because he wants to have me order everything, but thankfully he sleeps like a rock. Tells me it's because he lives a just life. And I outlawed cereal here years ago, because it's so darned expensive! There's always waffle batter, eggs and bread, so no one need starve. But I'll take your creation any day!

If there wasn't a wee bit of water (only the Pacific, lol) I'd be over to sample them in a jiffy.
I'll just have to ensure there is left over cooked potato at weekends as this recipe will be so easy to scale down to a one person version (and one cat?)

I can't believe your mind works like that while in a sleep deprived state.
Mine does nothing but get me all teary-eyed in emotional sleeplessness.
