This dish takes only minutes to prepare. Add shrimp for something special.
Textured vegetable protein makes this dish a hearty vegetarian meal.
Roast new potatoes with fresh rosemary and a little olive oil.
Ciabatta, the Italian flat bread popular in toasted sandwiches, makes a handy pizza base. You can reduce the carbs and calories slightly by pulling out some of the soft interior.
You can make a healthier party mix by using whole-grain cereals, olive oil instead of butter or margarine, and soy nuts or wasabi peas rather than the usual mixed nuts.
For a cool, summer drink, mash kiwi and strawberries and mix with plain seltzer and ice.
Turn your lemonade pink with fresh, ripe strawberries.
Just 3 ingredients: pineapple chunks, vanilla yogurt, and ice. Quick and yummy!
You can use regular, decaffeinated, or herbal tea. Let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes.
Bananas that are getting past ripe work perfectly in smoothies. Peel them, wrap them in plastic, and freeze them.
This is a great sauce for meat, fish, fowl, or pasta. You can also use it as a spread for crackers or bread.
Toss wheat cereal and cashews with raisins, dried blueberries, dried cranberries, or chopped dried apricots.
To prepare as a gift, strain the vinegar into pretty bottles. Add a fresh sprig of rosemary to each.
These ingredients are in the right proportions for one batch of dip mix. For a gift jar, keep adding a round of all five ingredients until you have enough to fill the jar.

Applesauce adds moistness without fat. A non-nutritive sweetener also cuts the calories.
Boil potatoes with garlic, then mash with sour cream, and whip until smooth.
In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and pot herbs.
Rosti has been called the national dish of German-speaking Switzerland. Rosti is similar to hash browns and is usually topped with cheese.
Sour cream or butter taste delicious on baked potatoes, but they come with a price: Both contain saturated fat and cholesterol. Here's a healthy, and tasty, alternative topping for your next baked potato.
Put the flat bread spread with the toppings on a toaster oven tray and use the "top brown" setting. It's ready when the cheese bubbles, in three to five minutes.
Roast for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness of asparagus), shaking once to turn spears. Pour on balsamic vinegar and serve hot or at room temperature.
Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Cook chopped apples and cranberries in the microwave for 4 minutes. Then stir in sugar or sweetener and mash with a fork to desired consistency.
This meal is generally lightly seasoned, which allows each diner to add condiments to individual taste.
Pour over pasta or serve with grilled meat, chicken, or fish.
Mix all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use, or use immediately. To make the dipping sauce, put it in a blender and blend on high about 10 seconds.
Put all ingredients in blender and blend for about 20 seconds. If mixture is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth. Serve hot or cold.
Cover the salad loosely and refrigerate, unless you're ready to eat it at once.
Cubed potatoes are sautéed with onions and lima beans and seasoned with parsley and paprika.
Each serving contains about 202 calories, 10 g protein, 4 g fat (18% calories from fat), 4 mg cholesterol, 33 g carbohydrates, 4 g fiber, and 551 mg sodium.

A healthy topper for toast, waffle or pancakes.
This takes some patience, but you will be rewarded with a rich, seedless sauce, perfect for topping anything from fruit, to meat, to chocolate cake!
You can buy ready-made raspberry mustard, but you won't find the depth of flavor you get when you mix your own.
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to cook, once you've cut all your vegetables. It's a good dish to top pasta or serve with grilled chicken, lean beef, or salmon.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court will decide whether making nonunion home health care workers in Illinois pay "fair-share" union fees is an unconstitutional violation of their First Amendment rights. The case could have major implications for public service unions.
The justices heard arguments Tuesday from lawyers for Illinois homecare personal assistants who don't want to be affiliated with a union. In Illinois, nonunion home health care workers have to pay "fair share fees" to compensate the union for its work for all of the workers. Those workers sued, saying that the fees violate the First Amendment by compelling them to associate with the union.
Lower courts have thrown out the lawsuit. If the high court agrees it would make it more difficult for unions to collect money for their work.

Use of Product containing Aluminum
Hi guys, I wondering what complication may arise from using Aluminum-containing deodorant or sunscreen? Some source said it is ok as long as no allergy to Aluminum, some said it increases the risk of breast cancer. Which source is correct?
The only contraindication to using aluminum containing deodorant/antiperspirant products is a known hypersensitivity to aluminum or some other component in the product.1 Consumers using these products occasionally complain of local irritation, which typically resolves when the product is discontinued.1
It is typically very difficult to establish the cause of any cancer. Most cancers occur as a result of a complex interaction between genetics, environment, metabolism and duration of exposure. Any number of factors may play a role in the ultimate development of the disease.
Recent data indicates that a high proportion of breast cancers occur in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. Researchers have attempted to link this finding to the application of antiperspirant/deodorant products to the adjacent underarm area. The thinking is that chronic application of these products allows some of the components in them to be absorbed causing toxic effects. According to the theory, the upper outer quadrants of the breasts are most affected because this area is adjacent to the area where absorption occurs. However, studies attempting to establish a link between breast cancer and the use of underarm antiperspirant/deodorants or other skin creams have produced contradictory results.
The National Cancer Institute currently states that there is no conclusive research linking the use of antiperspirants/deodorants to breast cancer.2

is there a pretty good alternative to itunes?
Posted 13 April 2017 - 03:03 AM
I see so many articles on which s/w is better than itunes etc...which leads me to wonder which would be the best alternative to itunes?
When I was using Iphones and Ipads on a Windows PC, I found that itunes s/w was bloated and slow and resource heavy. And nothing really improved with each successive release. On a Mac, obviously I didn't find any such isssue.
But I am using windows 10 now and have an iphone 7 plus. Could anyone please tell me if there is a good alternative to itunes that would let me move audios, videos, pics etc from pc-iphone and vice-versa, manage files/folders and not be too resource heavy or a pain to download/start the app?
Thanks in advance,

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984

Right now I have gotten away from MP3s and I stream with Spotify. If you get a paid subscription I believe you can download and store music but again you are tied into the Spotify client. Fortunately that works well in Linux, Windows, Android and I assume in the Apple universe.

Not true.
Quite some years ago I fitted up my niece with a live version of linux, not sure now which,possibly kanotix or anti-x. This was because her works laptop was locked down and she could not install any programs.
She wanted to manage her iTunes stuff and I found that Amarok would allow her to do what she needed. Not sure exactly waht she wanted to do but she was happy with the set up.
You'll never need to install it again

Might be problems with streaming though.

I don't have any iPhone or iPad, so am not very familiar with managing their media collections, but you might want to try one of the following programs:
- CopyTrans
- foobar2000 (may need a plugin)
- gPodder (for podcasts)
- MediaMonkey
- MusicBee (may need a plugin)

More than half of all self-identified Republicans said they thought a government shutdown is an appropriate price to pay for a deal guaranteeing additional spending cuts, a poll found.
The poll was carried out by SurveyMonkey on behalf of Business Insider through their Audience polling feature. While online polling has historically been criticized for inaccuracies, SurveyMonkey has an excellent track record and was more accurate during the election than many phone-based pollsters.
Overall, 51 percent of Republicans said that they agreed that a shutdown of the federal government would be acceptable in exchange for cuts, while only 16 percent disagreed. Among Republicans, 30 percent were unsure.
Democrats were much more strongly opposed to using a government shutdown as a negotiating tactic, with only 16 percent in favor and 49 percent opposed. Independents were more evenly split, with 24 percent in favor, 29 percent opposed and 26 percent unsure.
Here's the breakdown:
The poll also found that while 81 percent of respondents knew wat the debt ceiling was, 19 percent admitted they did not know or weren't sure.
If there was a government shutdown, 35 percent of respondents would hold the Republican party responsible, 15 percent would hold Democrats responsible, and 48 percent would hold both parties responsible.
Sixty percent of respondents would consider Congress to blame in the event of a debt ceiling negotiation breakdown and a subsequent shutdown.
The poll had a sample of 651 respondents and was carried out between January 18 and January 23.
Here's the full poll:

It's already been well-established that increasing dietary fiber has all kinds of benefits for you; lower cholesterol, lower risk of disease, better elimination and detoxification and even better weight management. And it's also pretty well-established that most people don't get enough dietary fiber in the first place. So it's always been easy to make a case for fiber supplements, since they're so inexpensive, safe and easy-to-use.
But there are different types of fiber, and they have different effects and benefits. So you want to make sure you're using the right kind of fiber supplement for your situation. If you're using or considering using fiber for weight management, there's new information that points to a crucial difference between the type of fiber and whether it promotes weight loss or weight gain.

Resident pinches pennies
Staff writer
Lucy Mester of Marion filled up her gas tank Thursday, knowing that she was using every penny left in her checking account.
"With the gas prices this high, it's hard to make ends meet," she said. "I've got to pinch every penny so I can get where I need to go. Being on a fixed income isn't fun, but you do what you've got to do in order to get by."
Mester is one of the millions of Americans currently facing financial issues due to the poor economy and high gas and food prices.
She said, when her bank accounts get low, she usually reprioritizes her needs and then purchases items accordingly. So far this month, she has had to limit her grocery spending in order to put enough gas in her tank to make it to work.
Usually, she said, there is enough money in her account to purchase what she needs, but said it's been difficult lately with unexpected doctor appointments and car repairs.
However, she said, she is staying positive, knowing that her tax refund is on its way.
"It gives me that little extra I need to breathe a little easier," she said. "Everything seems to cost so much nowadays. I remember bring able to fill up my gas tank with just a $20 bill. Now, it costs me almost $50."
Mester said sometimes she gets depressed with how much comes out of her paycheck each week, but says she is proud to be able to earn enough money to be able to pay her taxes.
"Paying taxes is the duty of every American," she said. "I'm glad that I can do it. I might not have all the money in the world, but I'm happy just doing my part."
Mester said there is a lot she could spend the money on, but plans to use the majority of it to pay her rent and utilities for the next couple of months.
"There are some things in life that are your main priorities," she said. "You just got to pay up, otherwise you'll be out in the cold. No one wants that."

How do I use the SubID Bid Overrides and Blocks Feature?
The SubID Bid Overrides and Blocks feature allows advertisers to improve campaign performance by adjusting their bids for individual sources on our affiliate network. The updated feature now allows advertisers to increase bids, decrease bids, or block traffic sources altogether. Unfortunately, whitelisting traffic sources is not available to advertisers at this time.
To get started, you will first need to call Customer Support (1-800-577-1165) and request that the RID Block feature be ENABLED in your account.
Once the RID Block feature has been enabled, you (or your webmaster) should add the following insert to your existing tracking URLs:
So, for example, the following URL: http://www.yourwebsite.com/search could become http://www.yourwebsite.com/search?aff=###AFFID###-###RID###
Once your team has analyzed your ad performance, they may determine that some sources perform better or worse than others. The SubID Bid Overrides and Blocks feature will allow you to adjust bids to reflect the traffic source performance, rather than blocking the source entirely. For example, this can help you to "win" greater exposure and more traffic from sources that perform well for you by adding a Bid Override to increase your bid for those sources.
To access the SubID Bid Overrides and Blocks section of the account, please follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Visit the Tools section within your account.
Step 2: Click on the SubID Bid Overrides and Blocks link.
Step 3: Click the Add New SubID Override / Block SubIDs link, select your specific campaign from the drop down menu (if desired), and enter the SubIDs you wish to add in the text box, one per line.
- Note that the RID number may be at least a 2 part entry (ex. 12345-4567x) and often contains 3 parts (ex. 12345-6789x-12Qz)
Step 4: Now, you can select the Bid Override that you would like for the source(s). You can choose to increase your bid up to 500%, or decrease your bid up to 90%. This Bid Override will apply only when your ads are shown for those specific sources. All other sources will continue to receive your original bid.
You also have the option to block sources, but we recommend that you consider adjusting your bid whenever possible rather than blocking sources entirely.
Step 5: The Bid Override currently implemented within your account can be "Searched" and "Deleted" in bulk using the check boxes.
**Important** We strongly recommend that you only block poor converting sources that have provided a statistically significant (100+ clicks) amount of traffic to your campaigns. Our system only supports a finite number of blocks, and blocking sources that have not provided a statistically significant sample of traffic may have a negative overall effect on the amount of traffic received by your offers.

Christmas in Cannes
They say there's a recession but you wouldn't know it here in Cannes. They say the studios have scaled back a fair bit. It's my fourth year, so far it doesn't seem so different, but then again, I'm not wheeling and dealing in backrooms. Whatever's happened on the hustle however doesn't seem have made a difference on the Croisette.
Every year, the big blockbusters splash the beach with their stunts. Usually right outside the Carlton Hotel. The other night while we were walking to meet our ride to go to the Grey Goose party, on the pier just across from The Carlton, 2012 put on a light display on the water. And the Carlton itself is now a billboard. Major film banners hang from the front windows, the entire entrance, right now, is totally Christmas themed. There's a tree, there's snow, there's a sleigh…
And there's Jim Carrey a short time ago, with Jenny McCarthy, and Robin Wright and Colin Firth at the photo call for A Christmas Carol. The 3D movie from Robert Zemeckis is scheduled for release November 6 but you know how it is: never too early to hype. Gary Oldman is in it too. Not surprisingly, Gary was not present today. Clusterf-cks at Cannes don't seem to be his thing.
I was rushing towards the palais when it was all going down. Ran into a huge crowd gathered to gawk. And when that happens, it doubles your walking time. This is a problem when you're hurrying to file on a deadline.
Meanwhile photographers seemed to be more fixated on Jim and Jenny than anyone else. And they worked it more than anyone else.
Jenny! Jenny! Jeem! Jeem!
Over the other cast members?
What about Colin???!!!
(am making voice very small) He isn't quite so photogenic lately, is he?
No but still, I hear you, you're right. It's no excuse. More Colin. Less Jenny. Ugh. Where is the hierarchy?

Europeans spend more on servers in Q3
Server sellers pin hopes on 2010 recovery
On a global basis, the server market started to show signs of stabilizing in the third quarter of this year, according to reports from both IDC (here) and Gartner (there). And IT shops in Europe started coming out of their shells to spend a little more on iron than they did earlier this year.
According to statistics ginned up by IDC, year-on-year sales of servers across the EMEA region fell by 25.7 per cent to $2.97bn in the third quarter, a much steeper drop than the 17.3 per cent decline in worldwide servers (to $10.3bn) in the same period. The good news is that compared to dismal sales in EMEA in the second quarter, Q3 showed some sequential growth, with revenues up 1.9 per cent and units up 8.4 per cent - the first sequential revenue increase since the Meltdown hit last year.
"Overall, the EMEA server market environment remains challenging despite better than expected performance in the larger countries such as the UK, Germany, Spain, and to a lesser extent Russia," explained Nathaniel Martinez, director of European systems and infrastructure solutions at IDC, in a statement accompanying the figures. "Platform migrations, consolidation projects, and data center rejuvenation investments are bringing some activity to the market place."
In the volume-server segment, which is where IDC lumps machines that cost less than $25,000, EMEA customers ponied up $1.7bn to buy boxes, and by the way, $1.6bn of that was for boxes using x64 processors from Intel or Advanced Micro Devices. Volume server sales were down 23 per cent compared to the third quarter of 2008, but rose by 12.3 per cent compared to the second quarter of this year.
Incidentally, x64-based servers across all segments - volume, midrange, and enterprise - came to $1.7bn in the quarter in EMEA, down 21.4 per cent year-on-year but up 16.7 per cent compared to Q2. Midrange boxes, which IDC defines as those priced higher than $25,000 but lower than $250,000, posted a 34.6 per cent decline to just under $400m in sales in the third quarter, and enterprise boxes had a 30.2 per cent decline, breaking just above $800m in sales.
Itanium-based servers posted strong sequential gains in Europe, up 19.7 per cent to $300m, but that was still down 25 per cent compared to the year-ago quarter. The other interesting blip was that Fujitsu's BS2000 mainframes had a 15.8 per cent sequential sales bump to $70m. IBM's mainframe sales in Europe were down both on an annual and a sequential basis. Machines not using X64 processors - mostly RISC and Itanium Unix boxes and mainframes with a smattering of i/OS and OpenVMS iron - had an aggregate of $1.2bn in sales, down 31.3 percent; shipments for these Other machines fell by a stunning 49.5 per cent.
By operating system platform, Windows accounted for just under $1.3bn in sales, dropping 22.7 per cent compared to Q3 2008, and Unix servers accounted for $770.3m, down 36.3 per cent. Linux sales were comparatively bright, falling only 18 per cent, to $502.6m. Other platforms had a 19.6 per cent drop to $404.5m in sales in the quarter.
When ranked by vendor, HP was the revenue leader in EMEA, with $1.2bn in sales, down 24 per cent and giving the company a 40.3 per cent share of the server pie in the region. IBM was a distant second, with $905m in server sales, down 17.3 percent, followed by Dell with $290.3m in sales, off 23.4 per cent. Sun's global sales were down 35 percent in Q3 to $778m according to IDC, but the company was hit even harder in Europe, with sales plummeting 41.8 per cent to $241.7m, knocking it from third to fourth place in the IDC server rankings. Fujitsu was the number-five server maker in EMEA in Q3, with a 33.1 per cent decline to $183.5m. All other server makers garnered only $155.1m in sales, down 41.5 per cent and giving them a mere 5.2 per cent slice of the pie. Basically, if you are not in the top five, you are not selling a lot of boxes in EMEA right now.
Within EMEA, Western Europe accounted for the lion's share of server purchases in Q3, with $2.33bn in aggregate sales (78.3 per cent of the total), compared to $348m for the Middle East and Africa (11.7 per cent) and $297.4m for Central and Eastern Europe (10 per cent).
IDC thinks there is reason to be optimistic about the server racket looking ahead to 2010:
"Enterprise customers have slowly re-initiated server refreshments, either because of specific vendor roadmaps or simply to boost the flexibility and efficiency of the IT infrastructure, to increase their competitive edge in a toughening environment," said Beatriz Valle, an analyst for European systems and infrastructures solutions at IDC.
"The recent technology developments in x86 microprocessors helped drive demand in 3Q09," he continued, "and 2010 will be a promising year in that area. The sequential quarterly revenue growth is very subdued, but server vendors remain hopeful that things will pick up in the fourth quarter, which is traditionally strong in the corporate space due to end-of-year budget renewals. Fourth quarter performance will be critical to measure where the market is heading in the medium term."
With so many chips changing next year, the global economy still uncertain, and IT budgets still under pressure, it may take longer for a server upgrade cycle to really kick in. Or maybe it never does, and these new levels are the new normal. ®

Because T-shirt logo size can vary widely, it can be tough to fit them into traditional quilt patterns. Use this to your advantage and design a quilt around a special shirt collection.
15 or more T-shirts with logos
6 or more solid-color plain T-shirts
5/8 yard solid black (binding)
4 yards backing fabric

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA - University of Massachusetts Boston women's volleyball player Cassy Hanneman (DENVER, CO) has been named Little East Conference Volleyball Rookie of the Week for the second straight week. She earns the award for the week of September 29 to October 5 after being selected for the week of September 22-28, it was announced today by the conference.
Hanneman put together an outstanding offensive effort from the setter position for the Beacons, averaging 9.58 assists per set in 12 sets over four matches for the week. The freshman also fired 11 aces for a rate of 0.92 per set to go with 0.58 kills and a .333 hitting percentage. She chipped in on the defensive side of the net as well with 1.00 digs per set and also got up for three block assists. Hanneman registered at least 26 assists in all four matches and served up three or more assists in three matches, including a career-best matching four on October 4 vs. University of Maine-Machias. A graduate of Arapahoe High School, Hanneman also added 31 assists vs. Maine-Machias in addition to 30 more vs. Pine Manor College to help her earn Most Valuable Player honors for the Salem State College Invitational on October 4.
The 5'9" Beacon has quickly established herself as one of the best setters in the Little East Conference, averaging 8.57 assists per set for the season to rank third among league leaders, while standing second with 0.57 aces per set as one of the team's most reliable servers. Her assist total of 583 is already the fifth-highest mark in a season in UMass Boston history, while serving up at least one ace in 16 of 20 matches and multiple aces in 11 contests. She has not only directed the team's offense, but has also proven to be one of the team's best all-around players, averaging 2.03 digs and 0.28 total blocks per set to rank third on the team in both categories. Hanneman is the only player on the squad to play in all 68 sets on the campaign and has set for at least 20 assists in all but one match, including nine occasions with 30 or more. She was also named to the Virginia Wesleyan Wingate Innvitational and the Plymouth State Days Inn of Campton All-Tournament teams.
The Beacons are currently 13-7 on the season, including 1-1 in Little East Conference play and have won six of their last seven matches and all of their last four. They will be in action again on Tuesday, October 7 when they travel to Cambridge, MA to play Lesley University at Buckingham, Browne and Nichols School at 7:30 p.m.

Ginseng, one of the most sought-after medicinal herbs in the world, once flourished across much of Maryland. It has nearly vanished now, though, from all but the westernmost counties, prompting officials to ponder banning commercial harvest of the lucrative plant from all state lands.
A recent survey coordinated by Christopher F. Puttock, a research associate with the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, found that the cure-all plant known to scientists as Panax quinquefolius has disappeared from spots in the eastern and central parts of Maryland where patches had been seen 30 years ago.
Places in Baltimore, Calvert, Harford, Prince George's and Montgomery counties that harbored at least a little wild ginseng a few decades ago now appear to be barren, Puttock said in an interview. Even in the woodsy west, the herb's abundance has declined, he said, and only Garrett still has a relatively healthy population.
"What we've done is harvested it out of being common," he said, "to the point where whatever else is in the forest is just consuming what's left."
Ginseng's vanishing act worries conservationists, who note its long history. It grows in forests from Maine to the Midwest, most commonly in Appalachia and the Ozarks, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Native Americans used to harvest ginseng to treat a variety of maladies, and it has been exported since the 1700s, primarily to Asia.
Traditional medicine regards it as an "adaptogen," which helps the body adjust to various kinds of stress. Though scientific evidence of its effectiveness is wanting, it remains one of the most widely traded herbs. In the international market, a single pound of dried wild ginseng roots can fetch $1,000 or more.
"In the East it was really common," said Puttock, but up until about 1900 "people were just gathering as much as they could," unmindful of the fact that uprooting plants prevented them from producing seeds for future generations. More than 350,000 pounds of dried ginseng roots were exported in 1858, according to federal data.
Already under heavy harvest pressure, wild ginseng populations took a further hit as forests were cleared for farming and settlement during the 18th and 19th centuries. Enterprising individuals have taken to cultivating it, either in the woods or under shade, and that activity furnishes the lion's share of ginseng exported these days. But the captive-grown roots are generally regarded as less potent, and therefore less valuable, per pound.
Maryland's ginseng loss mirrors a nationwide decline, and the federal government regulates its trade. The state Department of Agriculture issued permits to 323 collectors and 16 dealers in 2011, the most recent year for which data are available. Those collectors reported gathering 142 pounds of dry wild roots, compared with nearly 400 pounds of roots harvested from cultivated plants.
The wild harvest has remained relatively stable in the past couple of years, according to state agriculture data. But Puttock said anecdotal reports indicate that collectors are heading west more as patches elsewhere in the state have been picked over. Browsing deer have further hindered the slow-growing herb from coming back in places where it has become sparse.
"People in Garrett County are seeing more and more people come and poach their areas," he said. With Maryland diggers reporting in-state dealers paying up to $400 a pound, poaching has been a problem, officials say, one that waxes and wanes with economic conditions.
There are state and federal laws aimed at limiting how much ginseng can be rooted out by "diggers," as the prospectors are known. Anyone wanting to harvest it for sale must obtain a permit from the state and report how much they gathered. The harvest season has been shortened to just three months, from Sept. 1 to Dec. 1.
Fifteen of the 34 states where ginseng still grows have banned wild harvest, even on private lands. But some worry that outlawing something as lucrative and traditional as ginseng collecting could well exacerbate the poaching problem.
Maryland is one of the few states that still permits harvest of wild ginseng from state lands, Puttock noted. State parks are already off limits, but state forests and wildlife management areas remain open to diggers. It's not clear how much of the wild harvest comes from public lands, but managers of three state forests in Allegany and Garrett counties reported issuing 76 ginseng collection permits last year, twice the number of the year before.
That appears likely to change this year. Jonathan McKnight, associate director for habitat conservation in the Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service, said his staff has proposed closing all state-owned lands to ginseng harvest. State officials hope that will help ginseng patches on state lands recover, providing a reservoir for the plant that may ensure it remains part of the Maryland landscape.
"We've really seen a remarkable decrease," McKnight said. "It's the only responsible thing to do."
But Robert Trumbule, who runs the Maryland Department of Agriculture's ginseng management program, said he's worried that banning ginseng collecting on all state lands will lead to more poaching, given the limited staff the Department of Natural Resources has.
"Unless they're going to put an all-out effort into enforcement I'm not really sure how effective it will be," he said. Trumbule said he believes encouraging more cultivation of the plant holds greater promise for making the state's ginseng harvest sustainable. Roots harvested from seeds planted in the forest can sell for prices comparable to those gathered in the wild, he said.
"I'm on board with preservation of the culture of ginseng use and harvest," Trumbule said. "However I think the future lies in putting more emphasis on growing it as an alternative agricultural crop."

Crop assistance deadline is Friday
The application deadline for the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency for certain crops is Friday.
Crops eligible for benefits are limited to those not insurable in the county and produced for food or fiber.
The Friday deadline is for coarse grains, vegetables and melons, cotton, pecans, pumpkins, safflower, sesame, squash, and walnuts.
The administrative fee is $250 per crop per county, not to exceed $750 per county or $1,875 for multiple counties. Producers must pay the fee and file form CCC-471 before the deadline.
Coverage entitles eligible producers to a payment of 55 percent of an average market price for the commodity if a natural disaster caused a 50 percent or greater production loss.
If a producer does suffer a loss, form CCC-576 must be filed with the FSA within 15 calendar days of the disaster or the date the loss becomes apparent.
Producers are limited to $100,000 in benefits per person per crop per year.

Labor Day weekend brings with it the last days of traditional school vacation for kids and often signals the end of summer travel or one last backyard cookout with family and friends.
Labor Day weekend brings with it the last days of traditional school vacation for kids and often signals the end of summer travel or one last backyard cookout with family and friends.
That�s all good, but �no one should take a vacation from safety,� said Autum Mihm, of the American Red Cross Eastern N.C. Region.�It�s still important that people work to remain vigilant on the road, at the beach and at cookouts.�
She said the Red Cross has general safety tips to help make the holiday a safe and enjoyable one.
The Red Cross advises travelers to carry an emergency supply kit in the trunk with minimum supplies including a gallon of water per person, per day; nonperishable and easy-to-prepare food; a flashlight, radio and extra batteries; and a first aid kit.
They should also bring along a seven-day supply of medications for those traveling, a multi-purpose tool, sanitation and personal hygiene items, copies of personal documents; family and emergency contact information; a cell phone with charger; an emergency blanket; map, and extra cash.
Someone the travelers know should be advised of the destination, route and expected arrival time, before passengers buckle up, crank up and move away sober and observing speed limits.
If a beach or pool is part of the play, people should check weather and water conditions, swim with a buddy in a designated swim area supervised by a lifeguard; watch children carefully with small children or inexperienced swimmers within arm�s reach and wearing a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket.
When grilling, whether traveling or at home, the grill should be kept away from the dwelling, tree branches, or anything else that could catch fire.
Because of the variety of grills, the Red Cross simply advises to follow the manufacturer�s instructions for operation of the one they are using, keep children and pets away from a lighted grill and never add charcoal starter fluid after coals have been ignited.
Following these safety tips can help keep the holiday celebration safe so folks can continue to enjoy the rest of summer with great memories of their Labor Day celebration.
In keeping up with the times, Mihm said the American Red Cross free First Aid App for smart phones and tablets provides users expert advice on what to do in case of an emergency. It is available on Apple iTunes or Google Play and at redcross.org/mobileapps.

Elliptic Leocoin Storage: The Affluence Network – The People's Coin
Thank you so much for visiting us in your search for "Elliptic Leocoin Storage" online. In the event of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might possibly be traded being a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim this form of online money is not handled with a central bank system and it is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a restricted number of items, this money's importance is based on market forces, letting owners to deal over cryptocurrency exchanges. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers assert that there's "real" value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some form of wages to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin contains many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The person who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades lives.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It's also possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a greater chance of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the number of "shares" won.
If you're thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This option also creates a stable flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the wages. The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the method by which it's transacted. All deals on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This isn't anything shortterm wherever your customers could dispute or need a refunds, or use dishonest sleight of palm. In-practice, most professionals will be a good idea to make use of a payment processor, due to the permanent dynamics of crypto-currency orders, you have to make certain that protection is difficult. With any type of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your private keys and so grab your money. However, you most likely will never have it back. It's quite crucial for you to follow some very good secure and safe techniques when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing this will guard you from most of these adverse events.
Elliptic Leocoin Storage: The Opulence Coin – The Affluence Network
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is now the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the correct spot at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses decide how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to discover how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these problems are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centralized firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated promoter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current built-in difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could grow dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not necessary to understand how the procedure works in and of itself, but it's essentially vital that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Governments and banks can simply select to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. A lot of people choose to use a money deflation, especially people who need to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial seclusion, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; If you are living pay check to pay check, it would happen included in your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. You have probably heard this often times where you generally spread the good word about crypto. "It is not volatile? What goes on when the value crashes? " So far, several POS systems offers free conversion of fiat, alleviating some issue, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, many people is likely to be unwilling to carry any. We must discover a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. When searching on the internet forElliptic Leocoin Storage, there are many things to consider.

Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or any regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more immune to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and seclusion can easily be realized by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also participate in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be possibly used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the quantity of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all present bitcoins. This situation is not to suggest that markets will not be exposed to price exploitation, yet there's no requirement for substantial sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Since among the oldest forms of making money is in money financing, it truly is a fact that you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, some of those sites you are needed fill in a captcha after a specific time period and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have rather inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a reasonable investment strategy. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and verify these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can get transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.

You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! Viewers incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It should be challenging to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having small increases is more lucrative than trying to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to have a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more unpredictability and reward in currencies that never have made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz. It's certainly possible, but it must have the ability to comprehend opportunities irrespective of market conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be alright. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making huge ammonts of cash with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an extraordinary intellectual and technical achievement, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and lose out on quite successful business models made accessible due to the growing use of blockchain technology. or PayPal.

Winter Near Taos
How the truck missed us, I still don't know.
Hi Karina,
I visit your site often! Thank you for it!! A little about me. My children were all diagnosed with Celiacs about 2 months ago. I tested negative but have had the same symptoms as them that are now gone when eating a gf diet! My doctor said that I can still carry the cell or something that causes gluten intolerance. I don't know all I do know is that I feel better and am losing weight although I am pregnant!
Anyway, I am really at a loss. I am getting overwhelmed at the cost and the amount of things we can not eat. My husband is not celiac or gluten intolerant but has decided to go gf with us to make life easier on me. What kind of advice or helps or books would you suggest? I have tried many mixes from Bob's Red Mill, Gluten Free Pantry, and Pamela's. I have liked all I have tried so far. My kids are NOT picky at all and eat anything I give them. They love rice and beans and their veggies, especially salads. They also seem to have a problem with dairy, me too!
Really any kind of help or advice would be great. I am going to get the bread maker. I am going to beg my hubby when he comes home!!
Thank you very much!!
Hi Robin!
I would suggest going slow at first, and sticking to naturally gluten-free whole foods. Rice, potatoes, fruit and vegetables, eggs, meat, chicken and fish are all naturally gluten-free when they are free from seasonings or flavorings that might contain gluten.
Peruse my posts about starting out - located on the left - under the heading, "If Ya Gotta Be Gluten Free...". There you will find concrete ideas and info.
As for books - I might suggest visiting Amazon and reading the reviews of various books. Anything by Dana Korn would be helpful for tips on raising a gluten free family.
The Internet is a fab resource, as well. Check out my links, also to the left.
There are lots of yummy recipes here - check out my categories to the left, under Labels.
Good luck!
So glad you made it home safe and sound. Must have been scary. I remember when my parents lived in Albuquerque, they would close the schools if there was an inch of snow, so this must have sent the natives into a tailspin.
BTW, congratulations on being a finalist for the Food Blog Awards. Well deserved!
My oh my! What a story! Glad all's well. And warm.
Hey! Don't forget the banana cornbread! Man, that was mighty excellent. Panini's too.
Jess says hello.
"Bear suits are funny, and bears as well." [Christopher Walken]
What an experience you had! Sounds scary! I'm glad you made it safely back home.
P.S. I voted for your blog as best food blog. Hope you win!
Yay, so glad to see you back safe and sound. It sounds like a wonderful break!
That snowstorm makes the ones up here in New England seem like nothing.
Kalyn! Yes, it was literally tailspin time here. Yikes.
Thanks for the kudos. Right back atcha, Darling. Congrats on your finalist standing, too!
Thanks, Alanna!
Alexander! Heya. Right. That banana cornbread *was* pretty darn tasty. Hi back to Jessica! [Frankestein doesn't scare me. Marsupials do. ~CW]
Hey Kathy! Thanks! And muchas gracias! :-)
Hi Gaile! It was fun to have Alex and jess here. Wish we could have explored more.
GrewUp Rural~ yeah. This was a big one. And unusual [from what they tell me]. Crazy.
Hi Karina-
Glad y'all made it home safe and sound. It sounds like it was a fabulous get-together and hopefully there will be recipes soon.
BTW, the photo of the chiles against the snow is beautiful. Love it! Looneyartchick
Okay, the world really is turning upside down. We should be buried where I live and haven't seen a flake yet -- and its snowing in NM? I'll bet its pretty though, in a surreal sort of way.
I read your blogs every week, both for the gluten free delights and the extraordinary sights and reports of NM, the state of my soul. I hope to be out there some day, myself.
Happy new year!
Thank you so much for your blog. Your recipes are wholesome, lively and inspiring. Though I am a vegetarian by choice and not gluten intolerant I love your wide range of tastes and have become hooked on the twists and turns of your recipes. I loved the savory African Soup and the cumin and lime zest of the Spaghetti Squash. I had never "zested" before. I feel like you have helped me expand my foodie experience and now feel more confident with using spice.
Thanks and keep up your wonderful blog...
I know it must have been a pain, but that snow sure makes a pretty picture!
Hey Karina- an eerie moment indeed. seems so incongruent with that beautiful, peaceful photo you posted! i hope the rest of your week was more like the photo and that you had a chance to reflect.
Are you planning on blogging about the other recipes? I'm especially interested in the spicy glazed turkey meatloaf and the meatballs?

The World's Most Beautiful Tiled Swimming Pools
Maybe it's just me, but I love a tiled pool. I love the way you can add so much color to a pool, including mosaic designs of fish, flowers or underwater scenes. I love any tiled surface, I don't care if you want to put a Texaco logo on the bottom of your pool - I'd still appreciate the work and the artistic value.
Tile is also soo smooth. Nothing is softer on your feet, and smoother to the touch. It's the premiere luxury pool surface.
Easy to clean as well. SInce pool tile is not porous and is extremely smooth, dirt has no place to hide, and algae has a hard time finding a suitably rough and hidden place to attach.
It can't be just me - apparently a lot of other people love tiled swimming pools too, and I've got the pictures to prove it!
Top Ten Tiled Swimming Pools
OK< maybe these aren't the MOST beautiful tiled pools in the world, but they are all original and beautiful works of art.
Which one of these pools is your favorite? Leave a comment below.
Thanks for Reading!

Johnny Depp and girlfriend Amber Heard are supposedly engaged, according to several reports.
"The Rum Diary" costars sparked engagement rumors this week when "The Playboy Club" alum was photographed leaving Hollywood's Ago restaurant attempting to conceal what looked like a sparkly engagement ring on her ring finger, E! Online reported.
On Friday, sources close to the fiercely private couple confirmed the nuptial news to Us Weekly. The news was first reported by Celebuzz on Thursday. However, there is no official word from the actors' reps, who declined to comment when asked about the engagement by Gossip Cop.
So before we start saying it's the married life for Johnny, here's what we do know and what's floating around the Internet.
Depp, 50, and Heard, 27, met in 2011 on the set of the gonzo flick "The Rum Diaries." Depp officially announced his split with longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis in June 2012 after 14 years and two children together: Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11. He and Heard had been linked since the beginning of 2012, after Heard's ending a four-year relationship with ex-girlfriend Tasya van Ree, a photographer.
Since then, the pair has been photographed together jet-setting all over the world.
"The proposal happened a while ago," a source told Us. "She just didn't wear the ring."
According to Celebuzz, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star reportedly proposed on Christmas Eve, but Heard didn't say yes right away.
"Amber really took her time to make up her mind," a source close to the family told the site. "She turned him down before, before she said yes. So she waited and was thinking about it for a long time."
The two officially stepped out together for the Art of Elysium's 7th Heaven Gala at Skirball Cultural Center on Saturday, but Heard wasn't wearing the ring then, nor at the Golden Globe Awards the next day.
The pair is filming Matthew Cullen's crime thriller "London Fields" together. The flick, due in theaters this year, also stars Billy Bob Thornton, Jim Sturgess, Jaimie Alexander and Theo James.
So, drink up, mateys, yo ho? Maybe — we'll keep you posted.
