Apple Cider Donuts - Tasty Tuesday!
I had one cooking goal this fall. Well, one that's specific to this fall anyway: to make apple cider donuts. I absolutely adore them, and it's one of those treats that I buy every year. Why I haven't made them, I don't know. I've made pumpkin donuts before, and they aren't hard... they just make a ton of donuts.
So this past weekend, I set out to make my donuts. I was originally going to make the traditional round donuts with the holes in them until I realized that I prefer eating the little "holes" and that the round donuts are not my friend. Yes, this is an easy recipe - and I made it dairy free so Little Miss could enjoy it, but it wasn't originally so (see notes for the changes).
I've shared them with several of my friends, and I have half the recipe sitting in my fridge to make later today. They're awesome. And fun. And oh what a special treat, right?
Apple Cider Donuts
2 c apple cider
1 c sugar
1/4 c butter, room temperature (or butter substitute for dairy free)
1/2 c buttermilk (or rice/soy/coconut milk with about 2 T mayonnaise - trust me)
2 eggs
3 1/2 c flour
1 t baking soda
2 t baking powder
3/4 t cinnamon
3/4 t salt
1/2 t nutmeg
Additional sugar and cinnamon for rolling post frying
Reduce the apple cider. This will take about a half hour or more, and you can do it in advance then stick it in the fridge for when you're ready to make donuts. My husband also decided this was a really good topping for ice cream. Just sayin'. Boil the apple cider until it's reduced to about 1/4 cup. It will be slightly thicker and much darker than when it started, but don't burn it.
When you're ready to make the donuts themselves, measure out the butter and place it into a mixing bowl. Personally, I love using my special liquid/dry measuring cup for items like butter that tend to stick in a regular measuring cup - honey, mayonnaise, etc are much easier in this, too.
Beat the butter with the sugar, just like your normal baking recipe. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well until combined. Add the reduced cider and buttermilk, and beat again. Add the cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg, then mix until fully incorporated.
At about this point, you'll want to start heating your oil. You want a wide pan, deep enough to hold a couple inches of oil. Heat on medium high to 350 degrees.
While the oil is heating, add the flour and stir until just combined. Flour your working surface with extra flour, and pull out a clump of dough. Carefully roll it in the flour until you can work with it and create a snake like you did in kindergarten with clay. Using a knife or a board scraper, cut off half inch sections of dough.
When you think the oil is hot enough, drop in a test dough ball. You want it to immediately start bubbling around your dough. If it doesn't, your oil isn't hot enough. Pull it out, and try again in a few minutes.
Place several donuts at a time, but be sure there is plenty of room for them to move and expand. They will take only a minute or so to fry on each side before you need to flip them over. A fork or slotted spoon or chopstick works perfectly for this.
While they are frying on the first side, prepare your finishing station. On a cookie sheet, place a wire rack. Atop the wire rack, lay paper towels so that the grease can fully drain from the donuts. Prepare a bowl with 1 c sugar and 2 t cinnamon to roll your donuts in after they've drained for a few minutes.
Now you're ready to start the assembly line. Fry a few, flip. Add some more while the first ones are frying on their second side. You'll know they're ready to flip when the bubbles start reaching the top of the donut and the sides are a beautiful golden brown.
Pull them out with a slotted spoon when they're done, and add some more. Let the donuts cool and drain for a few minutes before rolling them in the cinnamon sugar and placing them on a separate plate. Keep frying, rolling more donuts, flipping, and draining until the donut dough is all gone.
The donuts are awesome still warm, but they will keep in a tightly sealed container with a paper towel under them once they've cooled for up to three days. If they last that long. If you don't want to make all your donuts at once, you can refrigerate your dough for a couple days. Make sure you bring it to room temperature - or close - before you fry them, though. If batter is too cold, it will absorb the grease before frying and will be a much heavier and not as yummy donut.
Enjoy this and more with Blessed With Grace and Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. Rachel from A Southern Fairytale has an awesome Mouthwatering Monday linkup that I participate in, too.

Does anyone really need to study journalism?
No, says one lifer, Bill Cotterell:
NPR reported early this year that there are more journalism students than there are jobs – not just vacancies, all jobs – in newsrooms across America. It's not that we don't need more j-school grads today, though we don't. It's that we need more reporters with knowledge of economics, politics, science, business, history and the liberal arts. And they need to love reading.
Far too many of the young reporters I've worked with over the past 20 years seem to get their vocabularies from TV and their spelling from text messages. Many regard reading as a chore, maybe even an infringement on their First Amendment rights as j-school grads.
Journalism education is nice, but beyond the basics, not necessary. Anyone who's smart, cares about news and works hard can learn the five Ws – who what, when, where and why – in a couple weeks. Then, if they learn from their mistakes, they can get good at telling you what's really going on.
And yet, we still need to agree on a few ground rules — for sources, readers and reporters.
The New York Times has just instituted a "quote approval" ban, which now means if you speak to a Times reporter, you're done. No after-the-fact tidying things up or, worst case, denying what you said in the first place.
It's become normal for powerful people to insist that the only way a reporter can speak to them is if they get to approve their remarks after they have said them.
They have other choices, like:
Get media training, which anyone that powerful can afford to pay for.
Keep a flack in the room or on the phone during the interview.
Tape the interview.
Watch your mouth!
I've been working as a journalist since 1978 and it's been depressing as hell to see how things have changed. I was recently interviewed, by email, by an NYU journalism student and I did insist for the first time on quote approval.
Because…I don't know her, I don't know anything about her ethics or values and because too many younger reporters have a very different idea what's fair game.
And plagiarism seems to be rampant, for reasons every working journalist knows all too well. The latest accusations are against Globe & Mail columnist Margaret Wente, a powerful figure with a sharp tongue.
This comment is from the Toronto Standard:
I bet many an overworked journalist is panicking right now over the thought that, perhaps, in a rush to meet the deadlines that come sooner and sooner, he or she has forgotten an attribution here or there. For too many people these days, being a journalist means a perpetual Please God, don't let me get laid off next freefall to the bottom of what was once their journalistic integrity.
So, tell me, who in their right mind is going to publicly question Wente and the Globe and Mail when, for all they know, their publication could be guilty of just the same sort of negligence?
I never studied journalism anywhere. I've attended many conferences, but they focused on craft or how and where to best sell my writing. I've taught journalism, at Concordia in Montreal and Pace University in New York, as well as to adult night classes at NYU.
I have mixed feelings about studying journalism.
I think it's probably best done as a graduate degree, preferably after a few years in the real world after doing an undergraduate degree (in politics, economics, history, sociology, anything but journalism) or not attending college at all.
I think the most essential ingredient of being a terrific journalist — for print, broadcast, online, books — is a clear understanding of your role as impartial story-teller (for hard news) and well-informed commenter for anything that requires or allows for a point of view.
Attribution — giving full and clear credit to others for their original work — is imperative.
Here's my list of "what it takes", which I hand out to my journalism students.
Among the 24 qualities and skills I think every journalist needs are being:
I know some of Broadside's readers are studying journalism, or have.
What do you think?

Just before we signed off for the Remembrance Day weekend on Friday, we received a press release from Big White Ski Resort announcing one of its earliest season openings in its 50-year history: Saturday, Nov. 16. Big White President Peter Plimmer said, "After visiting the resort this morning and touring the area with Jeremy Hopkinson, 39-year veteran of mountain operations, we concluded that with the storms scheduled to hit the mountain, Big White Ski Resort will be ready to go next Saturday."
"With a 65-centimetre base and more snow predicted . . . we're all pretty excited up here on the mountain!" commented, Michael J Ballingall senior vice-president. "When Mr. Plimmer announced to the staff that we were opening next Saturday it looked like he broke open a bee hive, there were people running in every direction", continued Ballingall. "Opening-day lift tickets, rental equipment and lessons will all be at half price."
Accommodation at Big White is on sale and Central Reservations is offering a ski-free package. Call 250-765-8888 or email@example.com
Previous early season openings — all on 100-per-cent natural champagne Okanagan powder — include Nov. 11 (1994/95), and Nov. 3 (2001/2002), and Nov. 14 (2009/2010).

October is over. As we move into November and ever closer to winter, we must remember how important it is to reflect on fall, the fairest of seasons.
But how, you ask, should we remember? Well, you could start by looking at pictures of Lobstoberfest, the foodie event that combined two of life's greatest pleasures, lobster and Oktoberfest, into one fantastic event.
U.S. & World
Hosted this past Saturday at Hudson Commons, a modern day beer hall with traditional Oktoberfest elements, and Private Park, Hudson's outdoor venue, the event served hungry patrons five deliciously different takes on the shellfish. I sampled, in no particular order…
The Salted Caramel Lobster Roll, a sweet take on the sandwich topped with crunchy bits of caramelized popcorn.
The White Truffle Lobster Roll, a more savory and rich sampling of the sandwich.
The Grilled Tails, served with a side of butter and fingerling potatoes.
The Cracked Claw. This was the most labor intensive of the dishes on display, but it was worth it to get every piece of that precious lobster meat.
Finally, I finished with the Uncommon Lobster Gumbo. Surprisingly I found this to be the most satisfying of all the offerings. Hearty, spicy, and served with a side of cornbread, this was lobster done as I'd never seen before, and hope to taste again.
All these variations were served with a stein of NY Oktoberfest beer and a side of seasonal polka songs provided by the Dale Stroever Oktoberfest Band.
(Photography by: M. Alexander Weber )
Overall, the event was a tremendous success. The air was just cool enough to herald the coming of winter, while the indoor spaces were warm and inviting. The combination of lobster, beer, and Oktoberfest tunes made for an afternoon to remember. Keep your eyes out for the next event hosted by Hudson Common, because if Lobstoberfest was any indication, it won't be one to miss!

Popular home loans searches
A fixed rate home loan is a loan where the interest rate is set for a certain amount of time, usually between one and 15 years. The advantage of a fixed rate is that you know exactly how much your repayments will be for the duration of the fixed term. There are some disadvantages to fixing that you need to be aware of. Some products won't let you make extra repayments, or offer tools such as an offset account to help you reduce your interest, while others will charge a significant break fee if you decide to terminate the loan before the fixed period finishes.
A variable rate home loan is one where the interest rate can and will change over the course of your loan. The rate is determined by your lender, not the Reserve Bank of Australia, so while the cash rate might go down, your bank may decide not to follow suit, although they do broadly follow market conditions. One of the upsides of variable rates is that they are typically more flexible than their fixed rate counterparts which means that a lot of these products will let you make extra repayments and offer features such as offset accounts.
Split rates home loans
A split loan lets you fix a portion of your loan, and leave the remainder on a variable rate so you get a bet each way on fixed and variable rates. A split loan is a good option for someone who wants the peace of mind that regular repayments can provide but still wants to retain some of the additional features variable loans typically provide such as an offset account. Of course, with most things in life, split loans are still a trade-off. If the variable rate goes down, for example, the lower interest rates will only apply to the section that you didn't fix.

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and bottom-line 2 x 20cm sandwich tins. For the cake, break the white and dark chocolate into two small bowls, then melt in the microwave on High for 1 min or over a pan of simmering water. Put everything else, except the coffee and vanilla, into a large bowl, then beat until creamy.
Divide the mixture in two, then add the coffee and melted dark chocolate to one bowl, and the vanilla and melted white chocolate to the other. Stir until mixed through, then tip into the tins. Bake for 20-25 mins until risen and slightly shrunk from the sides of the tins. Cool in the tins for a few mins, then turn onto a wire rack.
For the ganache, heat the cream in a pan, then break the dark chocolate into a large bowl. Once the cream is just boiling, pour it onto the chocolate, then leave for 5 mins. Stir until smooth, then leave until thickened and cool. Split the cakes in two across the middle (a bread knife works well), layer up the pieces, alternating white and dark layers, and sandwiching, then topping them with the ganache.
To decorate, spoon the melted white chocolate into a piping bag with a fine nozzle (or use a sandwich bag and snip off the end instead). Zig-zag the white chocolate over the cake, then finish with a scattering of white Maltesers. Serve on its own or for dessert with pouring cream. Best eaten on the day, but keeps in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Recipe Tip
Make it for EasterIf you want to give this cake a special Easter touch, you could arrange eleven Maltesers around the top in a ring to make a simnel cake of sorts

More than 120 women representing United Way and their Women's Leadership Councils descended on Capitol Hill on February 28 to make some noise and to make a difference for communities. Prior to the day, half of the participants had never met with their Congressional offices. For them, this was a new experience in learning how Congress gets business done. For everyone, it was a great experience in what a group of people – in this case, very strong women – can accomplish when they work together.
The women signed up to participate in an event that would give them an opportunity to make a difference nationally, and learn skills to help their voices to be heard on the state and local level. All of these things were accomplished. With 91 meetings with Congressional offices, many Members of Congress agreed to the volunteers' requests on the spot. Participants learned how to get moving on the state and local level from women who are already having success, with Andy McGuire of Des Moines, Toni Van Buren of San Antonio and Barbara Washington of New Jersey. The majority of participants are now energized to get to work advocating on the state and local level.
The event was led by Carol MacPhail, a member of the United Way National Women's Leadership Council. Carol is a dedicated volunteer who offers her time and talent to the Women's Leadership Council nationally, and locally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she is a partner at Deloitte Tax. Following the day, Carol sent a message to the participants that captured the spirit of the day.
"Life is a marathon and not a race, and so it is with our journey to advance the common good. We enjoyed many positive outcomes from our time together in Washington including increasing support for 2-1-1 Calling, educating our elected leaders on the work and focus of the United Way, participating in our American democratic process and irreplaceable networking among sisters.
My fondest wish is that we will have each discovered the power of our unique voices to advance the work of the Women's Leadership Council. And I am confident that my wish has been granted!"

Absolut Debuts Latest Vodka With Dueling Parties
Before the cork had even popped on Absolut's latest launch—the introduction of new sparking wine-infused vodka Absolut Tune—the October 9 event's swanky location and celebrity hosts signaled a shift in brand strategy. "As a hybrid product, Tune marks a departure from our traditional consumer," said Sarah Bessette, the public relations director at Absolut's parent company, Pernod Ricard USA. "Tune is geared toward the aspirational fashionista."
Event designer Nicky Balestrieri of ExtraExtra defined that target audience as "fabulous girls and their gay best friends—and where are they? They're at the Standard." Taking over Top of the Standard and Le Bain on the 18th floor of the hotel, Balestrieri produced two simultaneous parties in the theme of Tune's core moods—sparkle and spirit.
To embody those elements, Absolut tapped singer Solange Knowles and fashion designer Charlotte Ronson as hosts. "Sparkle is Charlotte, and spirit is Solange," said Bessette. "Both of these girls have incredible fashion sense, and music is so central to what they do. Absolut has been collaborating with artists over the history of the brand, but as our consumers have evolved, music has become integral to what the brand represents."
Ronson held court at Top of the Standard, where the skyline views were framed by a ceiling of gold- and champagne-hued vintage balloons imported from France. ExtraExtra commissioned firm A.Bunch to construct a bottle-shaped backdrop from metal and white silk, which was printed with a delicate pattern of curving lines, floral motifs, and star shapes. The idea was to subtly link the visuals with the bubbly contents of the new tipple. "When a product is being launched, you want to feel like you're inside the product," said Bessette. "For us, it's all about transporting people inside the bottle."
Knowles' party across the hall buzzed with a distinctly different vibe thanks to red votive candles, silver Mylar installations from Confetti System, and the rooftop bar's pool, which was filled with disco balls and covered by a plexiglass pane. "Anytime I can put a stage over a pool, I go for it," said Balestrieri, who drew inspiration for the stage from a scene in the 1991 cult film, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.
To round out the night of contrasts, Rita Ora performed her dance-pop hits, including "How We Do (Party)," on the Top of the Standard stage, while Selah Sue sang her soul-funk songs for the crowd at Le Bain.
Absolut is planning another event for the new vodka in Miami on November 13.

Wow, fantastic excerpt, Nicola! Thanks for hosting, Nas.ReplyDelete
I love anything vintage! Look forward to checking this out.ReplyDelete
Nas, sorry about the sick kids.ReplyDelete
Nicola, I could see YA being an easy switch because there's always romance! The Applied Science Physiotherapy to writing was probably a bigger transition.
You are very fortunate indeed to have sold your book so quickly. Good luck with all your books.ReplyDelete
N. R. Williams, The Treasures of Carmelidrium
Great to meet you Nicola! Hope the kids get alright soon!!! It was great to hear about your writing journey and congrats on the books :)ReplyDelete

Thanks Jemi and Lynda.ReplyDelete
Nothing like a good HEA fix :)
Thanks Kiru, Savannah and Talli,ReplyDelete

Writing is my dream job :)
Nas, I'm so thrilled your review of Girl in a Vintage Dress was picked up by your Sunday Times magazine.ReplyDelete
And thanks again for having me. :)
Great excerpt! And I love 'opposites attract' stories too. :)ReplyDelete
Hooray for just writing the novel instead of talking about writing the novel!ReplyDelete
Nice to meet you, Nicola!
There's nothing quite like that epiphany where you decide to actually WRITE the book instead of talking about being a writer someday. It's a wonderful feeling.ReplyDelete
Great post!
I've wanted to write category romance since I was 14. Truly. Except; I'm not the happy ending type writer/reader. But I have returned often to read Harlequin :)ReplyDelete
Nice meeting you Nicola (love your name). That excerpt was magnificent.
What a fun excerpt. I like both the cover and the concept. Your upcoming book sounds great too.ReplyDelete
Opposites attracting are my favourite stories, Susan.ReplyDelete
So much scope for the sparks to fly!
I'm revising one at the moment (my next Harlequin Romance after this one, WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE? Jan 2012), featuring an environmental scientist and a property developer. Boy, are the sparks flying between Rory and Gemma, too much fun!
It was satisfying to stop talking about it and actually doing it, Lydia :)ReplyDelete
Scary too!
Sure is a wonderful feeling, Meagan.ReplyDelete
I often wish I'd done it sooner but I guess the timing wasn't right.
Thanks so much, Donna.ReplyDelete
I'm addicted to HEA so I guess that's why I write them :)
That said, I love reading YA too because you're often left hanging and waiting for the next instalment.
Thanks Shelley, the retro theme really grabbed me, was so much fun to write!ReplyDelete
And the cover is one of my all time favourites :)
Wow! Terrific excerpt!ReplyDelete
Hi Nicola, thanks for coming by, I hope your child is feeling better.ReplyDelete
I can see all my friends are having a ball chatting with you!
To all my friends, all the best for the giveaway!
Remember what Nicola said above, "To be in the running to win, sign up for my newsletter by sending me an email with NEWSLETTER in the heading to firstname.lastname@example.com"
Thanks Regina.ReplyDelete
There's more where that came from in the book ;)
He's slowly on the mend, Nas.ReplyDelete
Didn't get much sleep again last night, hate seeing him struggling for breath, awful :(

After many delays, Windows Home Server (WHS) Power Pack 1 (PP1) finally hit the RTM milestone (build 1800) last month in English. A week ago, French, German, and Spanish versions of PP1 were released. English, French, German, and Spanish WHS users that haven't yet updated will be receiving PP1 in the background through Automatic Updates, assuming they have the "Update Now…" enabled in the Settings tab of their Windows Home Server Console. Once it is installed, users will see a prompt on each of their client PCs connected to the Home Server to also update their Connector client software (to ensure the Server and Client are in sync).
Previous PP1 betas need to be uninstalled before this process can begin. Unlike with the automatic release of Vista SP1 and XP SP3, it seems that Microsoft managed to avoid delays with WHS PP1. Thanks to the update, WHS users should soon have support for home computers running Windows Vista x64 editions, be able to backup Home Server Shared Folders, and get improvements to remote access, performance, more-efficient power consumption, and the long-awaited file corruption bug fix. More information regarding PP1 is available on the WHS homepage. If you have questions on PP1, post in the comments below or use the WHS forums.

The end of U.S. military operations in Iraq will have an effect on many of the military services' fitness departments in 2012, according to Lisa Sexauer, commander of fitness, sports and deployed forces, Navy.
"With the end of operations in Iraq, we anticipate buying less, and we do so with pride," Sexauer says about the Navy. "We have serviced sailors in that area of operation now for 10 years, and seeing that diminish is a good thing. Service members spent 10 long years on that mission, and it will be a joy to see more of them home. We will continue to support all forward deployed units, as we have in the past. We just anticipate a lower volume."
With less fitness equipment buying, where will the military spend the money that it gets in fiscal year 2012? At least for the Navy, some of that money will go to building and renovating fitness facilities, as the Navy has received substantial funding to support fitness infrastructure renovations during the last three years. Many of the projects that have been in the design and contracting stages should come to fruition this year, Sexauer says.
Even though spending on equipment will be lower in the Navy, Sexauer sees a trend in the type of equipment being purchased, saying it leans more now towards equipment that allows more natural movements rather than traditional selectorized machines.
In addition to that, equipment now has more technology advancements that allow for a variety of options, such as programs that guide users while they are on equipment or that are interactive on the Internet.
"While we don't anticipate the latter in many of our fitness centers, we will reap the benefits of more interactive user interfaces and structured guidance provided by the equipment," Sexauer says.
One of the biggest projects for the Navy in 2012 will be modifying its Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling Series (NOFFS) and creating three new workout series for it that will include strength, endurance and a series for austere environments with minimal to no equipment, Sexauer says. Each will include specific recommendations for any special dietary requirements.
Navy Fitness also launched a website and released the NOFFS iPhone app to leverage technology as much as possible to deliver quality training information and programs to sailors, she says.
All the military branches are working together to develop a family fitness program that likely will be released in fiscal year 2012, Sexauer says.

Midyette also celebrating 25 years of nursing
Sandra Midyette, a registered nurse at Lenoir Memorial Hospital, was recognized as one of the Great 100 Nurses throughout the state for 2013.
Midyette is the 23rd nurse from LMH since 1992 to be a recipient of the Great 100, which was founded in 1988. She�s been a registered nurse for 25 years.
The mission of the grassroots organization is to demonstrate excellence in the registered nursing field and to raise funds for nursing scholarships. In the past 12 years, $510,000 has been awarded for nursing scholarships, according to the LMH website.
Constance E. Hengel, director of Community Programming and Development, was a recipient in 2009 and Sonia Joyner, Corporate and Community Health coordinator, was awarded in 2007. The two RNs nominated Midyette this year.
�I am inspired every day by Sandra�s nursing expertise,� Hengel wrote in an email to The Free Press. �She provides a caring relationship with her clients, which allows them to make health behavior changes for better health status. She is an outstanding diabetes educator and it is a joy to nurse with her in the outpatient and community setting. The Great 100 made a great selection by adding her to this well-regarded group.�
In the nomination essay, Midyette was described as being recognized regionally as a diabetes nurse expert.
In summary, the essay said, �(Midyette) champions education, coaches the best health behaviors and transforms lives with the strength of her passionate nursing.�
�I was very humbled by it,� the 46-year-old said about the award.
Midyette was instrumental in starting up the Diabetes Wellness Program at LMH in July 2007. The program is funded by grants and has been recognized by the American Association of Diabetes Educators since 2010. Diabetes rates are higher in North Carolina than nationwide rates.
�We got this program running from scratch,� she said. �The purpose of the program is to provide community members living with diabetes diabetes-self-management education. At that time, there was no other diabetes education program in our community.�
Midyette teaches a series of classes emphasizing the 7 Healthy Behaviors of Diabetes � healthy eating, being active, monitoring, taking medications, problem solving, healthy coping and reducing risks.
Patients � of Type 1 or 2 and age 18 or older � must be referred by a physician. They may be new and frightened about having the disease or just needing a refresher, Midyette said.
�It�s not about cutting sugar and sweets,� she said, �it�s really about incorporating healthy lifestyle behaviors.�
High fat and high calorie foods are readily available and contribute to the high rate of diabetes, she said.
�Having a good conversation with health providers,� Midyette said, �I think that�s one of the things we need to do. And I encourage that.�
She recommends eating regular balanced meals and carrying four peppermints in case of a hypoglycemic episode. A half-cup of juice will also work, she said.
Midyette also recommends about 30 minutes of brisk exercise each day after checking with a physician, but exercise doesn�t have to be rigorous. It can be walking the dog or just getting up and moving, she said.
She emphasizes reducing risks because diabetes can lead to other complications, such as strokes, heart attacks, blindness, renal disease and amputations.
�The education being offered to the community at the hospital is almost unheard of,� Midyette said. LMH not only offers classes, it has a fitness center, walking track and two exercise specialists.
In 1988, Midyette earned her nursing degree at Sampson Community College in Clinton. She began working at LMH after graduation. She was a 2008 Nursing Excellence recipient.
�I just love what I do,� she said, �� just really being able to see changes that education can make.�
Midyette resides in Kinston with her husband Ronald and their daughters, Megan, 21, and Madeline, 17.

Confession Tuesday: The Overwhelmedness Edition
Dear Reader,
It has been 2 weeks, one 5-day jaunt to the Poets on the Coast Retreat, one walk on the beach, two lightning storms, one scary drive to Oregon due to weather, one lost pig in my neighborhood since my last confession.
I apologize for missing last Tuesday and as per usual, will make up for it with a double confession Tuesday, basically, we'll skip the "I confess I wrote a poem" and go right to "I confess I have become the flaky mother..."
Yes, welcome to my world of things falling through the cracks, as I am the dropper of things...
To the Confessional--
I confess I have become that woman who not only forget things, but who is so busy there are things I am supposed to be doing, that I'm not even aware of.
A very funny thing happened this summer beginning with my own book, Hourglass Museum, deadline--I became overwhelmed and with my overwhelmedness basically have been teaching people for the last 3 months to lower their standards on what to expect from me.
Seriously. I hadn't intentionally set out to do this, but this amazing thing happens when you forget or don't come through with things-- people expect less from you and kind of leave you alone.
I know, it's as if I'm being rewarded for bad behavior.
And here's the thing--I am so busy, I really can't be guilted into feeling bad about anything. It's so weird, I don't feel guilty and so far, no one has been able to make me feel guilty. I really feel as if I'm doing the best I can and if it's not good enough for someone, oh well.
I'm actually amused at how overwhelmed I feel and how I realize I too, have limits.
I am amused to find that I've been spending more time on Facebook, almost to quiet my mind--which seems in reverse--but Facebook offers immediate gratification with its "Likes" and comments. I may not be getting things completed, but 42 people liked my status (YAY ME!) This is my brain on overwhelmedness.
I confess this is a very strange place for a Capricorn.
Capricorns are known for their hard work, responsibility, To Do Lists, and all the fun stuff that makes them successful at business or running a family.
I confess I have been so busy, unless you (or your priority) is on fire and/or yanking me by the wrist, you are at the bottom of my list.
Here are some things I have NOT been doing--
1) Filling out paperwork for my daughter's school
2) Going to curriculum night
3) Organizing anything
4) Doing laundry
5) Answering email
6) Answering voicemail
7) Wearing anything besides "my uniform" (leggings, skirt, black t-shirt)
8) Paying the ATT bill (oops, they text you on this if you forget)
9) Staying in touch with friends.
None of this is intentional, but just the truth. If it's not a major priority, it's on the backburner.
Now, while I confess my Capricorn self thinks I should be concerned about this behavior, my new flakier self kind of is appreciating what it is teaching me.
Being overwhelmed teaches you this:
1) We Each Have Limits.
I have always assumed I was one of those people who could just get everything done.
I could be the good friend, the good worker, the good mom, the good writer, the good editor, the good wife, and at night, slip into bed and read a book. Give me a deadline and I'm your girl!
But apparently, if I am given multiple deadlines, and have to multitask 3 upcoming publications/projects, plus, have brought in a wonderful exchange student for a year, as well as my own family, and maybe am teaching at a retreat and for some reason, volunteer to help on a major school fundraiser, I *may* have taken too much on.
But here's the weird thing--instead of being upset or even resentful (my usual standby), I think "oh well, I'm trying!" And just put one foot in front of the other. I realize I'm human. It helps me not judge others, or myself.
2) Everything is Temporary.
Being overwhelmed gives you the perspective that this isn't going to last.
And by this, I mean "the overwhelmedness," "life," or *anything* we own.
Seeing my disheveled house makes me think, "Wow, I love that I am treating this house like a vacation home!"
It makes me think, "I am so busy, I don't even have time to worry about whether people are judging me!"
Seriously, nothing in the material world is bothering me. I look at the blue hair dye staining the sink due to my daughter dying her friend's hair and think, "I feel bad for the next people who live here and their stained sink."
I look at the broken ceramic fish I just knocked off the wall and is now in many pieces and think, "Bummer, but now I don't have to take care of that anymore."
Or I look at our wonko kitchen drawers and instead of thinking, "I need to fix these so they are nice respectable kitchen drawers!" I think, "I wonder how the next owners of this house will redo the kitchen. How lucky for them to be able to have the choice of what kind of drawers they want!"
I am treating my house as if it's a summer/fall retreat. Some place I'm just borrowing for awhile. It's okay that's it's messy, we're just visiting here, this is only temporary.
3) The Good Enough World is a Great Place To Live.
Did I get my ATT bill paid a week late and turn my daughter's (and my exchange student's) forms in a week late? Yes. Did the world end? No. Good enough.
Did I completely forget an eye appointment and have a laundry pile so high that my husband had to take the entire thing to our local laundromat to get it done? Yep, that was me. And did any member of my family have to go naked while this giant pile of sheets and clothes piled up and the eye doctor charge me hundreds of dollars for not making my appointment? No. Good enough!
Good enough is a lovely place.
Good enough says:
I see you've thrown every Tupperware container you own into a bottom cabinet without any sense of order and many without their lids. Good enough.
I see you've carried boxes of stuff out into the garage and haven't yet brought then to Goodwill, but I know you will when you have time. Good enough.
I see the garden was never put to bed, the laundry still isn't finished, but you've been writing and doing creative projects. Good enough.
You aren't being a domestic goddess or even a domestic rat, but you're working on 2 books. Good enough housekeeper, better writer.
I see you had three hours last Sunday and you chose to watch a documentary (The Other F Word, which was awesome) instead of doing anything productive... Good enough!
In the good enough world, you're always a hero.
I'm going to be here for a couple more months. And I do hope to get back to that place where I'm not paddling from one behind task to the next, but until then, I'm doing my best to just accept that sometimes life is busy. Good enough.

candle,cylinder of wax or tallow containing a wick, used for illumination or for ceremonial purposes. The evidence of ancient writings is not conclusive as to the history of the candle; words translated "candle" may have meant "torch" or "lamp," and the "candlestick" was probably a stand for one of these lights. The candle probably evolved from wood, rushes, or cords dipped in fat or pitch. Candles as well as lamps were used in Roman times; by the Middle Ages candles (tallow for the poor and wax for the wealthier) were quite common in Europe. Tallow, beeswax, and vegetable wax such as bayberry in the American colonies, candleberry in the East, and waxberry in South America were supplemented by spermaceti in the late 18th cent., by stearine c.1825, and by paraffin c.1850. Twisted strands for wicks were replaced (c.1825) by the plaited wick. Candles were commonly made by repeated dipping in melted tallow, by pouring tallow or wax into molds, or by pouring beeswax over the wicks. Most modern candles are machine-made by a molding process, although candle making as an art survives in industrialized countries. In literature, art, and religion the candle has had a wide range of symbolism; it commonly represents joy, reverence for the divine, and sacrifice (since the candle spends itself).

Candle(Candle Corporation, El Segundo, CA) A leading software company specializing in performance monitoring and systems availability tools for the mainframe environment that was acquired by IBM in 2004.

Candle provided a wide variety of products for managing systems and applications, and in 1996, expanded into middleware.
They symbolize light, and where there is light, there is hope. A lit candle suggests that you are unconsciously seeking comfort and some sort of spiritual enlightenment. An unlit candle suggests that you may be feeling rejection and disappointment or can't see anything positive or "light" in a situation or in yourself. If in your dream you watch the candle burn down to nothing, it suggests that you may have fears of getting older and dying. For men it may connote a fear about waning sexual abilities.

What to expect when repairing a chip, bull's eye, starbreak, or any other kind of damage. The windshield repairs expert will need access to the car windshield from the interior as well as the outside so plan to have somebody available in Newark, NJ to open the vehicle. The expert will check the damage removing any debris and completely cleaning the area. Relying upon the temperature where the auto is the windshield may need to be warmed or cooled for most satisfactory results. Many times the damaged area will need to be carefully drilled to be sure the resin will penetrate deep into the crack. Once this is done the expert will inject the resin. The resin might need to be cured by the repair person using a UV light for a couple of minutes. Lastly the windshield must be inspected both from inside and outside the car. The windshield repair must not impede the driver's sight or meddle with the windshield wipers in any way. Once all these steps have been completed you should not have to worry about the damaged area spreading and weakening the windshield. Newark Auto Glass offers auto glass replacement in citiy NJ for over decade.

Kevin Smith will be the first to admit that he's an unlikely source for life advice. After all, he's that overweight guy who did that movie Clerks a million years ago. But take a second look at Kevin Smith: he's spent the past 15 years doing whatever he wants and getting paid for it. And he has a hot wife, too. In his new book TOUGH SH*T: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good, nothing is off limits. It's a memoir that unlocks his unlikely path to success – Smith tells stories of how he fell in love with movies as a child and watched George Carlin with his dad, of his first time taking a pilgrimage to the Angelika in big, scary New York with his movie-buff buddy, and how after a successful run of 10 movies he decided the best thing he could do for his career would be to blow the whole thing up. And don't think that Kevin Smith, (the man who made bromance movies before "bromance" was even a word) doesn't get dirty. This isn't a book of feel-good stories. It's a book of Tough Sh*t. He talks about the critics who've savaged his films and the actors and executives who've made him hate what he loves. He discusses his fallout out with Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company and his feuds with Bruce Willis. He examines his struggles with weight, the infamous Southwest Airlines incident, and why he decided to start smoking pot at the age of 38. But he also tells you the good stuff you get if you suffer through the Tough Sh*t. Like his amazing wife Jen, who suffers through marriage to a sex-obsessed fatty. And working with his idol George Carlin. And one of the biggest thrills of his life: when he got to watch a movie he made– an homage to Quentin Tarantino – with Quentin Tarantino. And sprinkled throughout, Kevin offers his readers gems of life advice that have helped him along the way: like what he learned from his hero Wayne Gretzky – ""Don't go where the puck's been; go where it's gonna be," from the very act of conception – "You're a big, fat bucket of win when you begin this crapshoot life."—and from Ferris Bueller: "You can never go too far. But if you're gonna get busted, don't let it be by a guy like that."Fanboys, film-buffs, stoners, fatties, skinnies, Smodcasters and anyone who wants to know how to get away with getting paid for doing what they love will find something to like in this book. And if you don't like what he has to say, Kevin's response is a no-brainer: TOUGH SH*T.

Berlin Mennonite Church (Berlin, Ohio, USA)
The Berlin Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA), Berlin, Ohio, began in 1917 as a mission station or branch of the Martins Creek Church to afford a place of worship for members who did not have transportation to attend the services at Martins Creek during the winter. The Martins Creek congregation purchased a store and apartment house in 1917 and converted it into a church. The first meeting was held in March 1918, in the face of bitter opposition from the people of the community on account of the conscientious objector position of the members. In 1934 a minor division occurred when Earl Miller withdrew with eight or ten members to organize an independent congregation. In 1940 spring and fall communion services were conducted in the Berlin Church for the first time. In 1944 the group was organized as a separate congregation under the Ohio and Eastern A.M. Conference with Simon W. Sommer pastor and D. D. Miller of Martins Creek bishop. The 1953 membership was 157. In 2008 the membership was 275; Ernest Hershberger was the pastor.

After countless nugdes I have updated StyleCop check-in policy for newest build of StyleCop available (126.96.36.199). While at it, I was able to incorporate a few bug fixes and add improvements.
Version 1.2.1 of the policy is available as MSI installer or as zipped source code (available AS IS).
Bugs fixed are:
- Solution containing projects with same Name is not evaluated correctly (keying schema is now by Project VS object instead of Name)
- Same file appearing in different projects causes policy exception
- C# web site projects are now supported
For the last two items, huge thanks to Clement Bouillier for bringing them to my attention.
Additionally, I have added pretty neat feature (in my opinion) to improve the navigation for the errors found by the policy. When policy is evaluated, now any violation found is added both to Checkin dialog and to Visual Studio Error List pane. Thus you can review the violations in the form similar to non-policy StyleCop violations. Additionally, clicking on policy violation either in Checkin window or Error List pane now will bring up the file and the line the violation is found in.
Policy violations are cleared from Error List pane when the policy is re-evaluated or on project build.
If you encounter any issue with the new drop, please make sure to leave a comment (and I promise to handle the issues promptly this time).
And while at StyleCop topick, I'd like to point to an excellent project driven by Howard Van Rooijen – StyleCop integration with ReSharper. If you use both, make sure you get the latest drop from Codeplex.

Common Health QuestionsBack
Can having an abortion affect my fertility?
Having an abortion won't usually affect your chances of becoming pregnant and having normal pregnancies in the future.
But there's a very small risk to your fertility and future pregnancies if you develop a womb infection that isn't treated promptly. The infection could spread to your fallopian tubes and ovaries, known as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
PID can increase your risk of infertility or an ectopic pregnancy, where an egg implants itself outside the womb.
But most infections are treated before they reach this stage, and you'll often be given antibiotics before an abortion to reduce the risk of infection.
Get medical advice as soon as possible if you experience any signs of infection after an abortion, such as:
- severe pain
- a high temperature (fever)
- smelly vaginal discharge
Read more about the risks of an abortion.
Further information:
It's unlikely that having an abortion in the UK will affect your fertility. However, if you become pregnant in the future, you may have a slightly increased risk of losing the pregnancy (miscarriage) or the baby being born early.
