Superhero sugars in breast milk make the newborn gut safe for beneficial bacteria
Todd Churn
A bonanza of potent disease-fighting compounds has been discovered in a surprisingly common source — the breasts of every nursing mother on the planet. Human milk, the only substance that evolved to feed and protect us, seems to contain a trove of medicines just now being unlocked by scientists.
"We go down to the bottom of the ocean to find new compounds and test them out against diseases," says nutritional scientist Lars Bode of the University of California, San Diego. "But if we just look at the natural compounds in human milk, we'll be surprised at what we find."
At the forefront of breast milk's potential lies a diverse set of sugar molecules called human milk oligosaccharides. Although sculpted by 200 million years of mammalian evolution, the sugars don't feed infants at all. Instead, they play the role of microbial managers, acting as liaisons between the infant's newly available intestinal real

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink admitted the 2-1 win over Fulham – his side's first win at Craven Cottage since 1980 – was the perfect tonic after a tough week in which he feels he has been "fighting everybody". It came in a week where the Dutchman had been caught up in the Daily Telegraph's investigation into alleged corruption in football.
QPR won it via Idrissa Sylla's 87th-minute header in a west London derby in which near neighbours Fulham paid the price for missing two penalties – including after a stoppage-time award Hasselbaink labelled "ridiculous".
"It's been a very difficult few days, I must say," said Hasselbaink. "My lawyers are waiting for the transcripts to help with the investigation of the club. We want a result as quickly as possible. But I must say that the support that I've had from the club, from family, from friends, from people around me has been immense. I have to thank them for that. Also the players, and the support of them. In the last couple of days we have been able to concentrate on the game and that has been a good outlet.
On the game itself, the former striker said: "I've not seen the first penalty, if it was a tangle or a pull. But then in the second half, that penalty in the last couple of minutes is just ridiculous. It's just ridiculous. The player [Nedum Onuoha] did not even touch [Jozabed], not even close. So at the moment, it feels like I'm fighting everybody."
Fulham saw Tom Cairney's fifth-minute penalty, awarded after Steven Caulker hauled down Ragnar Sigurdsson at a corner, saved by Alex Smithies. It set the tone for the hosts, who fell behind to Conor Washington's deflected 20th-minute strike. Fulham were wasteful and though they finally netted via Tim Ream in the 47th minute, chances continued to go begging before Sylla headed home. There was still time for Sone Aluko to miss a last-gasp spot-kick as Fulham were booed off following their seventh game without a win.
"It's very frustrating, we couldn't be clinical in the opposite box, we weren't solid in our box," said the Fulham manager, Slavisa Jokanovic. "It was a strange game. At the end of the game only the result is important. I accept my responsibility as we didn't win any points.
"Generally it is a little bit confusing and strange for us. We have to stick together, stay solid in defence and in the end offer more quality, more personality, and find the end product. Our solution is stick together, be organised, disciplined, still more solid in defence because we didn't concentrate that solidly, and in the end play with confidence and believe we will find the goal.
"There are many new players, they need to take part of the responsibility and understand. If you [miss] two penalties you can lose the game. With the ball we played with enough confidence. But we want to sort this situation."

Sarkozy detained in French corruption probe
PARIS: Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was detained Tuesday and reportedly questioned by financial investigators in a corruption probe that could cloud his chances of a political comeback.
The detention — a very unusual move for such a high-level figure — dominated French news broadcasts. The investigation is the latest in a string of probes to target the former leader.
Yet Sarkozy has not been convicted of anything, remains well-known on the international stage — and may be his troubled conservative party's best chance to regain the presidency in 2017.
A judicial official said Sarkozy was detained for questioning Tuesday at the headquarters of the judicial police in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. The official, who was not authorized to be publicly named while discussing an ongoing investigation, would not elaborate.
Sarkozy could be held up to 24 hours, which could be extended for another day. His lawyer, Thierry Herzog, and a magistrate, Gilbert Azibert, were also held for questioning.
French media reports say Sarkozy is being questioned in an investigation linked to financing for his 2007 presidential campaign, notably allegations that late Libyan leader Qaddafi gave Sarkozy millions of euros in illegal campaign donations.
The case centers around whether Sarkozy and his lawyer were kept informed about the investigation by a friendly magistrate, Azibert.
Sarkozy and Herzog have denied wrongdoing. Azibert's lawyer told reporters he hoped the detention would be over by the evening.
Investigators are basing suspicions at least in part on tapped phone conversations between Sarkozy and his lawyer. The tapping raised questions about the limits between investigative needs and individual privacy. Sarkozy compared the situation to actions by the secret police in the old East Germany.
Allies from Sarkozy's conservative UMP party — which has been in a leadership crisis because of questions about spending during Sarkozy's 2012 presidential campaign — jumped to the former president's defense.
"They have never imposed such treatment on a former president, with such a surge of hate," lawmaker Christian Estrosi tweeted.
Former French President Jacques Chirac was convicted in a corruption investigation in 2011 after he left office, but when he was questioned he was not held in police custody.
The Socialist government tried to stay above the fray.
"Justice officials are investigating, they should carry out the task to the end. Nicolas Sarkozy is a citizen answerable to justice like any other," government spokesman Stephane Le Foll said on i-Tele television.
Political scientist Thomas Guenole said it's too early to draw any conclusions about Sarkozy's political career based on his latest detention.
"Nicolas Sarkozy has often been pronounced politically dead over the last two years because he was implicated in political-judicial affairs … And he has always emerged," Guenole said.
He described an "immense love" for Sarkozy amid the hard-core of his party, which views the investigations against him as politically driven.
Sarkozy was handed preliminary charges in another investigation into whether he illegally took campaign donations from France's richest woman, L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt. Those charges were later dropped.
In a separate case, relatives of French victims of a deadly 2002 bombing in Pakistan filed a complaint in Paris last year against Sarkozy and two former advisers for allegedly violating a duty to secrecy in the investigation of the case.

Once it ruled the Western World, and even the partial, scattered ruins of that awesome empire, of which Rome was the capital, are today among the most overpowering sights on earth. To walk the Roman Forum, to view the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Appian Way—these are among the most memorable, instructive, and illuminating experiences in all of travel. To see evidence of a once-great civilization that no longer exists is a humbling experience that everyone should have.
Thrilling, too, are the sights of Christian Rome, which speak to the long and complex domination by this city of one of the world's major religions. As a visitor to Rome, you will be constantly reminded of this extraordinary history.
But it's important to remember that Rome is not just a place of the past, but one that lives and breathes and buzzes with Vespas in the here and now. So take the time to get away from the tourist hordes to explore the intimate piazzas and lesser basilicas in the backstreets of Trastevere and the centro storico. Indulge in eno-gastronomic pursuits and stuff your days with cappuccinos, pizza, trattorias, wine bars, and gelato. Have a picnic in Villa Borghese, take a vigorous walk along the Gianicolo, or nap in the grass against a fallen granite column at the Baths of Caracalla. Rome is so compact, that without even planning too much, you'll end up enjoying both its monuments and its simpler pleasures.
Walk the streets of Rome, and the city will be yours.

Edited 10 May 2010: Added link of A Lil Fat Monkey
A few weeks back, I got an SMS by Pure Glutton inviting me for a review hosted by Karl's Biesl. I told her I ate at Karl's Biesl just the week before and the food was just so-so. I told her perhaps I had ordered the wrong thing so I decided to join her and a group of floggers for this review. Needless to mention, I have to say one ought to judge a restaurant by its signature dishes and restaurants should educate their staff on what to recommend to patrons heh!
The restaurant is rather big but yet cosy with the woody interior. Little did we know that there is a very nice mezzanine floor above, perfect for private functions.
At the start of our lunch, we were told Karl is the name of the owner, Karl Rathswohl and beisl means a bistro, beer house or a casual dining place. I searched the net for more info and stumbled upon this link and the explanation really summed up what Karl's Beisl is!!!
The word Beisl (or Beisel) is probably Jewish. It oroginates from the word Bajiss, which means house. Beisls, which evolved in the 18th Century are inns offering local specialities. The style of a Beisl is like trattoria in Italy or Kneipe in Germany.
The characteristics of a Beisl are the followings: measuring beverages, panelled walls, hooks for clothes on the wall, mobile partition walls, wooden tables, checked tablecloth, choice of food and beverages displayed on blackboard, spice rack on the table and marking the frequenters' tables. You can choose among Viennese specialities such as Tafelspitz (braised beef garnished with chips, chives sauce, spinache, horseradish and apple puree), Vanillierostbraten (roasted meat with garlic) and Schnitzel (fried meat). Besides the meat dishes soups are also very popular. The choice of beverages consits mainly of ales and porters and in most of the Beisls one can buy also the so called mixed beer (ale mixed with porter). As a dessert we recommend you the famouse apple strudel.
A stratum of Beisls developed in the past few years, which matches the quality restaurants. These inns offer their services at a higher quality. That means that they take aim at affluent Viennese citizens and tourists. Visiting such kind of an inn can equal a gastronomic trip.
Ref: Vienna Hotel Online
As it was a very hot day, we were offered Franziskaner weiss beer, a German beer. It was indeed very smooth and a great cooling agent. This is available on the tap here. Oh thank you to Ciki to model for us :p
OK, let's get straight on to the food served to us. We tried a Spinach Salad that came with red peppers and pork bacon strips (RM18). The baby spinach are from Australia which is sweet and crunchy. We loved the light cream based dressing which has just the right amount! I hate overly drenched salad. If you look close enough, you'll see cubes that resemble chu yau char (deep fried lard) but chu yau char they are not! LOL they're actually roasted potatoes which are crisp on the outside.
A Cold Platter (RM38 for 1 portion or RM70 for 2) was quickly cleaned up. Not surprising when it has serrano ham, chorizo, roasted pork belly, olives, cheeses, roasted red peppers, gherkins, sun dried tomatoes and baguette. The cheeses were superb especially the blue cheese (which I don't like cos it stinks :p) according to FatBoyBakes, Ciki and the Lil' Fat Monkey.
Then we have 2 types of soup - Cream of Forest Mushroom (RM18) and Cream of Roasted Garlic & Red Pepper (RM15). The mushroom soup is robust and not rich at all with cream but the red pepper soup is a real winner. It was the group favourite as the flavour was quite unexpected, ermmm where it looked a bit like laksa soup but the taste was refreshing with a light rosemary fragrance. My advice is try not to stick to the usual mushroom soup!
The mains started to arrive once we were done with the starters. The first was half a portion of Roasted Suckling Pig (whole at RM199 and half at RM110). This piglet have very crispy skin and a whole lot of succulent meat as compared to the fatty Chinese style's.
It's so delish that FBB couldn't resist gnawing on the whole thigh. Since I sat next to him, I could hear the crispy skin crackle under each bite.
The Roasted Suckling Pig served with steamed Cabbage (or you can opt for sauerkraut) and mashed potatoes. We have steamed cabbage and wow it has bits of pork bacon in there that made the cabbage very flavourful indeed. The mash was the creamy kind and not goey at all despite looking like one, perfect!
When the Farmer's Platter (RM95 standard portion 3 to 4 persons; big portion 6 to 8 person RM130) arrived, I can see everyone's eyes lit up. Can't help it when the plate is filled with Roasted Pork Knuckles, Pork Belly, Kasseler Ham, Bratwurst, Frankfurter Sausage and this platter is served with Steamed Cabbage/Sauerkraut. I personally like the bratwurst and sausage here. It was then revealed to us that they make their own sausages as they owned a smoke house!
Next, Double Rib Pork Chop (RM50) was served. It's such a huge serving! The chop is very thick and lean which made it a bit tough to chew on. I would love to have a little bit of fat on a chop.
Of all dishes, this Pork Wiener Schnitzel (RM38) is my favourite! Served with one of the best potato salad around (not just cos this is an invited review ok but it's really my honest opinion). The meat were flatted, seasoned and coated with flour, eggs and breadcrumbs before deep fried. The outside is crisp but the inside is ooooh soooo tender! This schnitzel was so good that Ciki and FBB just burst out singing My Favourite Thing (click to watch the video and listen to the song) from The Sound of Music (one of my fave movie that I've watched countless times). If you go to FBB's post, you'll understand why (pssst check the lyrics!).
A final meaty plate of Black Pepper Spare Ribs with Garlic Butter Rice With Pickled Veggies (RM60) came by which we were up to the brim. We savoured the tender ribs slowly. The fork tender ribs have juicy meat and not laden with sauce, the black pepper is not over powering at all.
Don't worry if you're not a babitarian (pork eater), you can opt for this Seafood Spaghetti With White Wine Sauce (RM30). A crowd winner even amongst the babitarian! The white wine brought out the sweetness of the seafood. There are huge prawns, scallops and mussels in there, value for money indeed.
Thank goodness the mains stopped here and out came the desserts. We have a Palatschinken (RM18) which is crepes with apricot jam served with a scoop of rum & raisin ice cream.
And of course a must have is Calvados Apple Strudel (RM20), a traditional Viennese strudel, a popular pastry in Austria. This strudel is a rolled layered pastry heavily stuffed with pieces of apples cooked in sugar and cinnamon with raisins. Since I liked cinnamon, this is absolutely lovely but if you don't you might find the cinnamon overpowering.
Karl's Biesl is located at Solaris Mon't Kiara or rather known as SohoKL which the host explained it meant Solaris Hot Spot! It's just besides Häagen-Dazs. I would like to thank Pure Glutton and her friend, the host, chef and staff of Karl's Biesl for the lovely afternoon.

The Unfortunate Trials of The Tyrant Lizard King, or T-Rex Trying… for short, is an art project by Hugh Murphy centered on the peculiar anatomy of Tyrannosaurus rex in various riffs on short forelimb hilarity. Murphy's torrent of Cretaceous lolz all began by T-Rex trying to paint his house and has grown to include various automotive-themed tyrannosaurid failures involving windshields and drive-through ATM's. Shown here is T-Rex's failure to do what our friend Brett Berk does at Vanity Fair all the time: drive stick shift.

While the incidence rate of seizures in people living with multiple sclerosis is right around that of people in the general population, I've read from enough of you to know that it is a symptom that some do experience. I believe I may have had something of a seizure last night as I got into bed.
By definition, from the National MS Society's page on seizure, I'm not 100 percent sure it would be called a seizure by the medical profession. The three forms of episodes they list are as follows:
- Generalized tonic-clonic seizures are brief episodes of unconsciousness with uncontrollable jerking movements of the extremities.
- Generalized absence seizures are momentary lapses of consciousness without abnormal movements.
- Partial complex seizures are periods of stereotyped repetitive activity. The person appears to be awake but does not respond to external stimuli.
I was cold getting into bed last night — cold like 'I think I must have a fever' cold. Slipping into bed, the cool sheets seemed to suck any warmth left in my body in a rather painful manner. It should be noted that the thermostat is in working order and was all the way up to 67 to assist warming my frigid body; so it wasn't really that cold.
When I tried to cover my head to breathe warm air into the bed is when things started to get weird.
I say that it may not have been a seizure because I didn't lose consciousness completely and was somewhat aware of what was happening. Also, while I couldn't control any of the jerking movements and odd sounds I was making, I did not lose control of my bladder or bowels. Not sure how that fits into this episode.
I say that I was somewhat aware of the goings on, but it was an awareness that was mostly one of panicked observation. The way my body was trembling and jerking wasn't like the involuntary shivering it does to resist hypothermia. It seemed more like the way I've seen actors portray electrocutions or, well, seizures — though I couldn't see myself.
My eyes were closed and it wasn't until it seemed to pass that I realized that my eyes were squinted shut very firmly and there was almost a cramping pain in the muscles around them when I was able to open them.
I don't even know how long it lasted. While it seemed at the time like it was going on forever; I'd guess that it was well less than a minute.
As my breathing returned to normal — I don't know what the pattern was during the event, but I know that it was different than what I was returning to — I also noticed that my body no longer felt cold. The sheets were not painfully cold, though I could tell the warmer spots where I lay from the colder side of the bed (Caryn was still up as I was retiring early).
Had I lost control and wet the bed or something, I would have accepted Caryn's offer to take me in to the hospital. If I have another episode like this, I'll likely take a look at that option as well. I most assuredly will be discussing this with my MS doc when I see him next month.
As a few of you have mentioned seizures before in our pages, I'm wondering if you might expound on your experiences so we might all learn from them. It's the greatest strength we have, our community.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

It doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg to be able to eat healthful, nonprocessed, or even organic foods. Many people think that buying healthful and organic foods is an expensive luxury that we cannot afford. But thanks to a wonderful blog titled "100 Days of Real Food," we learn that this is not always true. (Visit the blog site HERE.) It offers information on many different topics, from recipes, meal planning, and tips for shopping for nonprocessed foods to how to stop eating processed foods, budgeting ideas, and more. The post I found most beneficial and inspiring was titled "12 Ways to Keep it Cheap" (to see the full blog post, go HERE.)
Here is an excerpt from the post, showing 12 ways to shop healthfully and stay on budget:
1. Set a specific budget. This tip may sound basic, but as I just said simply thinking about "not spending a lot of money" DOES NOT work! Here's how to structure a budget…
- Pick a realistic budget amount that you will adhere to each week or month. I personally think a weekly budget is easier to follow because you can't go too far over budget before you realize you are in trouble.
- Consider using cash in an envelope so going "over budget" isn't even possible. (For those who've heard of Dave Ramsey, yes, we've both read his book!) Also, no matter what, make a commitment that if you do for some reason go over budget you will deduct that amount from the following week or month.
- Define what will and will not be included in the budget. Will it just be for food or for household items too? What about alcohol, entertaining, and going out to eat?
- Keep track of all your expenses on paper whether you use cash or not. It is important to see where your money goes.
- Share and discuss the running budget total with the other adults in your household…accountability is what it's all about!
2. Be organized and plan out your meals for the week. Last minute purchases that you haven't put a lot of thought into can add up fast.
3. Minimize waste by saving all uneaten food instead of throwing anything away.
4. Know and use what you have on hand especially if it's perishable. Even consider keeping an inventory list of food on your fridge or freezer so different family members can check off items as they use them. I know my husband is more likely to eat something in the fridge if I leave a note telling him it is there (don't ask me why)!
5. Make substitutions in recipes to reduce how many things you have to buy…or even leave out a small ingredient all together.
6. Maximize "cheap" foods like bananas, beans, and pasta. Here are some of our favorite super cheap recipes:
- Easy Slow Cooker Refried Beans
- Banana Ice Cream
- Sweet Potatoes and Apples
- Split Pea Soup
- Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
7. When making inexpensive meals like soups and pasta dishes double the recipe and freeze the leftovers for when you have one of those days where you just don't have time to plan out a good dinner.
8. Make sacrifices like drinking water instead of milk and skipping juice and other flavored beverages all together. If you really have trouble kicking the juice habit at least water it down a little so the juice lasts longer.
9. Reduce your consumption of meat and desserts. Meat can be a big-ticket item and while dessert is certainly a "nice to have" it is by no means a regular necessity (sorry)! Also experiment with "stretching" your meat dishes by mixing in veggies and/or beans.
10. Buy produce that's in-season and if you like to frequent your local farmers' market try going just before closing time to get some great deals on items the vendors won't want to haul back to the farm.
11. If you can't afford the organic version of everything consult the dirty dozen list.
12. Check your receipt after you get home to make sure your your money was spent wisely (most grocery stores accept returns!).

I've also been up to my eyebrows in writing the story and working through all the challenges that entails.
Anyway, since so many of you visit the site to see the art I've done a new illustration. One of the things I truly love is vintage motorcycles. I've already worked on a preliminary design for the Gyrostator that appears in the story and that gets the most hits on the site. I wanted to envision another bike that would fit in the world I'm writing but would represent a much more refined design.
I want this bike. It would be handy in heavy traffic. Nothing says "respect me" like fender mounted pistols.
I really enjoy painting rusted, rough and weathered surfaces and really got into the colors and textures on the huge, iron skull buttress and the large hanging pulley beneath it.
I hope you enjoy. I've posted the whole image and some close ups of parts of the painting as well.
Cheers, Kevin
PS - If enough of you are interested I'll assemble and post the making of video for this as well.
PSS - I've also got an older post with a much more fantasy bike sketch with a locomotive drive.
PSSS - I've also modeled the high fantasy bike in 3d!

Since 2004, thousands of children in the District of Columbia have had scholarships worth up to $7,500 to attend a private school of their choice as part of the DC Opportunity Scholarship program. Currently, more than 1,700 low income children are benefiting from this opportunity. Unfortunately, language in the current $410 billion spending bill, which was signed by President Obama, eliminated the scholarship program.

In 2008, the Second Wind Dreams published a letter of thanks to those individuals who made possible a wish granted to the residents of Homestead Nursing Home in New Castle. Once again, we want to continue the list and the dream, and the ones who granted those wishes.
The Hussey Copper Relay For Life team hosted a dance on Feb. 28 at the Eminence Community Center. The band, Leo and the Moonlighters played from 7 to 11 p.m. The community came out and supported a wonderful benefit. This was our first big event this year and I think everyone enjoyed themselves and we enjoyed everyone being there.
In the present economy, why are homeowners being taxed more while property values have gone down? According to the latest news reports, property in the U.S. has declined 27 percent. Henry County is no different than the rest of the United States. Is this another example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer?
Back in the 1960s, tattoos were not the popular body art that they have become. In the upstate New York town where I grew up, I knew of no one who had a tattoo; that is, until my boyfriend – now my husband – got one in the Marines. I was shocked. How could he mar his body with something so permanent? He thought my efforts to persuade him to have it removed were nuts. The tattoo stayed, I got used to it and married him in spite of the large off-kilter anchor on one arm.
Roads and NASCAR were the twin highlights of a busy time in the Kentucky House of Representatives last week, as we raced toward the final few days of the 2009 Regular Session.
Speed bumps are a traffic control device that is specifically regulated by statute. There are many illegal speed bumps within the city of Eminence. The city officials know they are illegal. The city attorney knows they are improperly installed. they are there because the "people wanted them," just as in Pleasureville. The city attorney for these two towns (the same person) should make the city officials aware of the statutes and ensure that the cities comply with what is legal.

An important birthday passed Monday, and I'd be remiss if I didn't say a little something about it.
Theodore "Dr. Seuss" Geisel would have been 105 on March 2. Geisel's impact has been felt across generations now, instilling a love of reading into countless children — and I count myself among those.
Although final details are still pending, Kentucky got a much clearer picture last week of what it can expect from the federal stimulus package that Congress recently passed. Even with quite a few strings attached, it should still provide a substantial lift right when we need it most.
According to Governor Beshear, we will get a little more than $3 billion over the next 28 months, which doesn't include direct stimulus payments Kentuckians may receive from such things as tax cuts or boosts in Social Security payments.
I know most insurance companies are reliable and that sometimes a reasonable increase in insurance premiums is justified. I don't like it when it happens, but I understand that it can happen. Even the most reasonable person would agree, however, that three increases over a six-year period, cumulatively totaling more than a 100 percent hike in premiums, would be unjustified, harmful and unconscionable.
Last year, families, businesses and communities in Kentucky's Fourth District were forced to make tough choices in order to afford the soaring cost of energy. This painful experience taught us that our energy supply will not always be abundant, reliable or affordable. While it is tempting to think our energy crisis has ended now that oil prices have dropped, Americans cannot afford for Congress to become complacent. We must not abandon our goal of creating a new American energy strategy.
Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 26, the Henry County Local will no longer be located at 1378 Eminence Road.

Though we've allotted two days for the move, we should be up and running again Friday morning. But our first 'official' day of business at our new home will be Monday, March 2.
Plans are currently underway for the 27th Annual New Castle Spring Fling. The date is Saturday, June 13. The committee is currently working on several things for the 27th Annual New Castle Spring Fling, but the economic crisis has hit us hard and we are strapped for funds to run the festivals in New Castle. The festivals are the Spring Fling, Fall Fling, and Christmas in New Castle. We need some donors to step up and sponsor our festivals. If we don't get more sponsorships, we might have to take drastic cuts in the festivals. It would be v
On the prairies of eastern Kansas, the early spring is when ranchers do their annual burning to allow the new spring grass to emerge with full vigor. I used to love to watch the flickering horizon on the prairie from my front porch. But every once in awhile, the Kansas winds would pick up or shift direction so that those "controlled" fires became a potential menace.
I would like to thank Scriber Station and an awesome Sunday School group at Eminence Baptist Church for donating a meal for 20 of our seniors once a month and Eminence Christian Church for donating a meal once every 3 months. This means a lot to our Meals on Wheels program.
I want to reiterate that these donations along with any monetary donations will keep this program running. We need your help to continue to provide meals for the seniors in this community.
Thanks to the Henry County Local for reporting on a very important issue pertaining to our county politics in last week's paper. As reported, it appears the momentum of the 2010 election has started and many Henry County residents and Kentucky state representatives have taken an interest in the future of Henry County and it's political status. Last meeting, Secretary of State, Trey Grayson provided information and direction at the last Henry County Republican monthly meeting.
The first priority of elected officials at any level of government is making sure that they truly listen to those they serve.
With that in mind, I sent out a 17-question survey before the start of the 2009 Regular Session to gauge the views of several hundred households located in our legislative district. The results, as I expected, were enlightening.
When Governor Beshear took office in December 2007, he joked that he knew the cupboard would be bare, but that he didn't expect it to be gone.
Since then, he has overseen more than $430 million worth of cuts, all without touching Medicaid and our classrooms. Unfortunately, with the nation's economy showing no signs of improvement, he and the General Assembly learned in November that this would not be enough. Our state economists told us that another $456 million would still need to be trimmed by the end of June.

The Death Star's trash compactor may have been implausible, but it was on the right path towards solving a very real problem: space junk.
Scientists at NASA are testing ways to reduce space waste by compacting and heating debris to the point where it melts but doesn't incinerate, reducing garbage by 10 times its original size and squeezing out any salvageable water they can. Plus, the high level of plastic packaging in astro-garbage means that not only are these pucks easier to stow, they're also potentially effective against radiation—something that poses a big problem for manned missions to Mars, which could take at least two years roundtrip.
With just one day's worth of garbage, the on-board compactor can produce small, circular trash tiles 8 inches wide and half an inch thick, meaning they could be used to reinforce astronaut's sleeping quarters (among other heavily trafficked areas).
Scientist's are still determining whether the process sterilizes the discs by embedding strips test tiles with strips of bacterial spores before heating. So far, results have been promising. The potential emergence of any trash-dwelling, carnivorous giant squids, however, remains to be seen. [Space.com]

Abdullah Named to Doak Walker List
Lincoln – I-back Ameer Abdullah was named a candidate for the 2013 Doak Walker Award on Thursday. The award is annually presented to the nation's top running back and is named for Walker, a three-time All-American running back at SMU.
Abdullah is the Huskers' top returning rusher, as he earned second-team All-Big Ten honors by the Big Ten coaches in 2012, despite splitting time with NFL draft pick Rex Burkhead. Abdullah rushed for 1,137 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore, despite making only seven starts. He totaled six 100-yard games, including four straight in Big Ten action (Northwestern, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State) and became the first I-back at Nebraska since 1994 to record 100-yard efforts in his first five career starts.
Overall, his 81.2 rushing yards per game ranked ninth in the Big Ten, while his 134.6 all-purpose yards per contest were good for fourth in the conference, as he played a major role in NU leading the Big Ten and ranking eighth nationally in rushing in 2012. In addition to his rushing, Abdullah was one of the Big Ten's top all-purpose threats, as he also caught 24 passes and served on Nebraska's punt and kickoff return units.
The PwC SMU Athletic Forum Board of Directors will name the semifinalists on November 14 and the finalists will be announced on Nov. 25. The recipient of the 2013 Doak Walker Award will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday, December 12, on ESPN. The Doak Walker Award Presentation Banquet will be held in Dallas, Texas, in February 2013.

Seedy Observations
I always find it interesting to open up different packets of seed from different seed companies. Sometimes you end up with way too much, while other times, there is barely enough for a small patch. I end up ordering many of my seed packets in bulk so that I have plenty of greens and roots for our year round harvest. Here are some of my carrot seed packets and being a total nerd, thought I'd count just how many seeds were in each packet. Here is the results:
McKenzie Seed, Creme de Lite F1 - I've grown this before from another company and we really liked the sweet flavour, but there were 27 seeds in this package. 27. That was enough for 2 tiny rows and that's assuming that all the seeds germinate. Carrots are notorious for being pernickety for germination, so I typically count on about 3/4 germinating.. That will leave about 20 carrots for $2.49.
Pumpkin Moon Seeds, Carrots Variety Mix - This is the tiny packet on the left and is from a local company in the Annapolis Valley. According to the label on the back, there are 7 types of carrots in the packet and I counted 109 seeds for $3.00.
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, Carrot Cosmic Purple - One of the larger heirloom seed companies, Baker Creek has a wide assortment of veggie seeds.. This is a stunning carrot that has a unique sweet-spicy flavour. The packet had 312 seeds and sells for $3.00.
Ok, enough counting! The rain has stopped again and I need to go plant my bok choi. And my beets. And my beet and chard braising mix. And arugula. And...
What are your thoughts on seed packet contents..?
10 comments:
Wow, you count the seeds! That's true dedication.ReplyDelete
I do <3 Baker Creek--even when they advertise a low seed count (say, for ground cherries and such), I always seem to get twice as much as the packet says they'll contain and get excellent germination.
For some crops, low seed count per packet is fine--I mean, who really needs all 50 cucumber seeds in a packet, unless you have your own small farm? But only 27 carrot seeds is something of a joke--a patio container portion of seeds, not a full vegetable garden. I can see some marketing potential, however: "Our seed packets save you time--no wasted effort succession sowing later in the season!"
For starters, I wish that seed companies would develop and agree upon basic standards for the information listed on the packets. I want to see the same info on every packet, listed in nice chart form, in the same order evert time, for easy reference.ReplyDelete
This should include the basic planting instructions, expected germination rates, approximate number of seeds/total weight of the seeds, etc.
I like it that you counted the seeds: it's very garden nerdy = good. :-)
If the carrot seeds weren't pelleted (and you didn't mention that they were) you sure have lots of patience to count them....but I'm a seed counter too. After all,each one of those is a potential vegetable in my eyes. Speaking of carrots, I had maybe one or two carrots go to seed last year in the garden and made no effort to collect the seeds or anything...well this year.....I've got carrots like weeds, almost perfectly spaced growing out of the sides of my raised rows and everywhere else I will let them.Now I know how valuable they were and should have tamed them into a collection bag.ReplyDelete
Well, this is the first year I have been a nerd as well, and comparing seed packs, weight, and cost...has been an eye opener. I don't think I paid enough attention previously, but will, from now on. Especially if you are paying shipping costs from across the boarder..it all adds up! I am a fan of Baker Creek!ReplyDelete
Good blog post Niki...it had to be said!
Hi! I guess I have experienced the same thing. I will have to keep those carrots in mind to try for next year. Happy planting! Nancy at Cozy Thyme CottageReplyDelete
Thanks for all your comments guys! I don't typically count my seeds, but with such a difference, I really wanted to document the difference..ReplyDelete
Nope Pete, they weren't pelleted.. I did buy some pelleted lettuce seed though and I must say that it makes indoor sowing for succession planting a snap! :) Good to know too about your carrots reseeding. Someone else mentioned that to me yesterday as well. I'll need to let a few open-pollinated types re-seed for next year I guess!

300 purple carrot seeds! I was quite annoyed last year when I opened my package of purple seeds from Halifax Seed and saw that I didn't even have enough to fill an 8 foot row. I got about 6 feet out of it. I had planned on filling up 4 rows in an 8 foot box. Not likely. At $3 a pack, that was going to cost me $18.ReplyDelete
I'm definitely going to have to look into getting seeds over the internet for next year. But that will require some extra planning and foresight, which is not intrinsic to my nature. So we'll see...
I had a similar experience with some mache seeds from a company that will remain unnamed since all the other seeds were fabulous (high count, nice and clean, and they must be super fresh since the germination rate is very high across different types of veggies) and I'm waiting on a response from the owner. There were 29 seeds in the 3$ package... I bought another package from a different company which contains well over 200 (I gave up at 100,but the leftover pile was still larger than my counted pile).ReplyDelete
I've found Hope Seeds is always generous with their seed counts - especially with brassicas and flowers. It's so hard to make a good call sometimes when you're ordering seed online...
This is all quite interesting as I have just started to save seeds for replanting and to add to my market stall. I have wondered how to know how many to put in each packet. I thought 30 cucumbers was generous and 10 zucchinis more than enough for a regular family per season. When it came to celery I just put in 2 pinches from the pile. I am now wondering how our customers feel. I do hope they give some feed back if they are unhappy. I love self sown vegetables but struggle with the messy look as I wait for them to mature and drop. Vegetable flowers can be beautiful, I add them to my flower bunches sometimes.ReplyDelete
I agree with Melissa! The variation in info on seed packets varies from almost useless to excellent. And it's really hard for me to find the critical info sometimes because it's not where I expect it to be. Niki, excellent post. I haven't really thought about this before, but have been sometimes happily amazed and sometimes appalled at no. of seeds. Here's what would be good: info on which companies, if any, can be counted on for giving you your money's worth. ThanksReplyDelete
Please feel free to leave comments. I welcome your tips, questions, thoughts and ideas (and suggestions for new veggies to grow!)

Spaniard's substitutions enabled Ramires, Oscar, Eden Hazard and Juan Mata to overload their opponents in the central areas
It was not quite Istanbul 2005 but for the first time as Chelsea's interim manager Rafael Benítez changed the course of a game via the bench. The Spaniard has frequently been criticised for his poor use of substitutions – a right-back for a right-back when chasing matches was a particular source of frustration – but here Chelsea dominated the second half after Benítez's double switch.
The inevitable question is whether he should have got things right from the outset, and his starting selection was surprising, even taking into account the need for rotation. In particular, a mobile central midfield duo of Ramires and Frank Lampard was peculiar against a United side that uses a dangerous attacker – on Sunday, a reinstated Wayne Rooney – behind their main striker.
Benítez's favourite buzzword is "compact" but in the opening stages Chelsea were a rabble, strung out across the Old Trafford pitch. The centre-backs were terrified of Javier Hernández's pace, so dropped deep (which wasn't enough to prevent the Mexican opening the scoring), forcing the midfield to cover too much ground and leaving Demba Ba with little support.
United's own sloppiness unquestionably contributed to Chelsea's second-half dominance – the number of times they conceded possession within their own half was extraordinary – but Benítez's changes certainly helped. Replacing the peripheral Victor Moses with Eden Hazard had an immediate impact with the Belgian's superb curler, but introducing Mikel John Obi in place of Lampard was actually a more effective change.
That switch was surprising on paper – Benitez would have been castigated for his negativity had Chelsea not completed their comeback. But Mikel's permanent stationing in the holding position stabilised Chelsea and, more importantly, allowed Ramires to charge forward with typical energy – he had made a similarly dangerous run shortly before his equaliser, having previously remained cautious alongside Lampard.
The Brazilian combined with Juan Mata, Hazard and Oscar, who were able to interchange positions and overload Manchester United in central positions, as United were desperately outnumbered in midfield. Rooney, quiet after his goal, demonstrated why Sir Alex Ferguson didn't trust him defensively against Real Madrid in midweek, failing to contribute without the ball and forcing his manager to change United's system.
Rooney was moved out to the left flank, with Kagawa brought into the centre after Robin van Persie's introduction – but United did not improve, and for the second time in a week the opposition coach's substitutions prompted a strong second‑half showing.

The only thing I might add to this discussion is advice I was given by a wise, old, Indian guru atop one of the highest peaks in Stockport, Ohio. It was something to the effect that one's fully legible, complete
signature (first and last name along with date) is probably the best form of advertising you could possibly have as an artist; and the great part is it's free! Now, having said that, I've never used anything more than "J.Lane, (year)" with any of my paintings or drawings, so take this with a grain of salt, from one who's never followed such sage advice. Whatever the case, if an artist is clever and can master the technical virtuosity to keep his or her signature reasonably small, it can become a part of the painting to such a degree that, while still readable, it in no way detracts from the painting. Just don't get it down so low it'll be covered up by the picture frame.
As far as other artists are concerned, the inimitable Mr. van Gogh never used anything more than Vincent." On the other hand, our good friend Mr. Rockwell at various times in his career used simply "N.R.," then moved on to "norman rockwell" (in script), and finally the large, hollow, Roman letters we've come to know and love, spelling out for all the world to see, "Norman Rockwell." Monet used simply
"Claude Monet" (occasionally just "Monet"). Albrecht D■rer used a stylised "AD" logo. Michelangelo only signed one work in his entire life, and it was a sculpture, not a painting (the Vatican Pieta). Abstractionists almost never sign their work (on the front at least) though Willem de Kooning is an exception to that rule (last name only). Stuart Davis signed his graphics-laden work with his full name large enough to read at twenty paces on a moonless night. Picasso was totally indifferent about his signature, only occasionally signing his work. Jan van Eyck, on the other hand, signed one of his best-loved paintings, the Arnolfini Wedding with great, elegant calligraphy, right smack dab in the middle! So, who's to say what's right? Well, okay, art historians and authenticators would prefer you use something nice, modest, and above all, decipherable, somewhere down in a lower corner--so there.

Happy holidays, everyone! With just a few more shopping days until Christmas, it seems like a great time to show off some toys, statues and other collectibles that will make for great gifts... next year. Still, it's never too early to start working on next year's list, so see if these new collectible offerings from Hasbro, Funko, DC Direct, Sideshow, Gentle Giant and plenty of others will make the cut.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLIDER | ComicBookMovie recently uncovered a group of figures and toys from Hasbro based on the upcoming Marvel Studios film "Captain America: The Winter Solider." Check out figures of Captain America with a mysterious blue shield, Black Widow and Winter Solider. Each toy comes with a piece of the Mandroid Build-A-Figure, weapons and extra heads. "Winter Solider" opens on April 4.
DC COLLECTIBLES | DC Collectibles revealed a brand new toy in a recent Spoiler Alert on their Facebook page recently. Said figure is none other than "Earth 2" Hawkgirl which will hit next August. The company also showed off the first wave of "Earth 2" figures, the Poison Ivy Cover Girls statue, the "Batman: Arkham City" Rabbit Hole Batman figure and plush versions of Deadman and Crow along with plenty of other pieces in their most recent solicits which you can check out in full on CBR.
MARVEL COMICS | Sideshow's one of those companies that looks way into the future with its reveals and pre-orders. This week they unveiled two pieces that will be out towards the end of 2014. September will see the release of a Red Skull Premium Format Figure statue, the Sideshow exclusive version of which comes with a more classic comic book head. Then, in December, they have an Iron Patriot Quarter Scale Maquette that looks ready to blow a hole through any and all enemies.
THE WALKING DEAD | "The Walking Dead" fans are in a holding pattern between now and the series' return in February, so here's a little something to feast your eyes upon. Gentle Giant will have a Merle Dixon Walker statue that stands 9.75-inches tall as well as a Walking Dead Army Men Woodbury Arena Survivor Set featuring a tiny versions of Daryl facing off against several zombies for sale next year.
STAR WARS | As the snow continues to fall in many parts of the country, it seems fitting for Sideshow to show off a pair of Hoth collectibles based on "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back." In addition to the Commander Luke Skywalker in Hoth gear figure -- which comes with a beat-up face if you get the exclusive -- the company also has a Tauntaun to play trusty mount and last minute meat hotel when necessary. Hopefully future versions will come with an open belly for better sleeping quarters! Both pieces will hit in October.
THE HOBBIT | As "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" continues to do well at the box office, expect more and more collectibles to get revealed. Weta recently showed off a new statue giving Gloin the Dwarf the spotlight. The 9-inch tall statue can be purchased now and is ready to join the rest of the your Middle-earth based 1:6 scale statues.
TOMB RAIDER | Gaming Heads opened pre-orders this week on a brand new Tomb Raider Survivor statue featuring Lara Croft as seen in her most recent game, released earlier this year. The 20-inch tall polystone statue comes in a regular version as well as a GamingHeads.com exclusive that has a gun that can take the place of the bow she carries in the regular one. The statue will ship next spring.
STREET FIGHTER | Of course, Kotobukiya launched their Street Fighter Bishoujo line with the video game franchise's most popular character Chun Li. Their second offering continues to adapt the female characters from the game into the world of 9 inch PVC statues by going with Cammy who first appeared in the 1993 game "Super Street Fighter II." The British warrior who happens to be striking a backbreaking pose will hit stores in the States next year.
STAR WARS | Gentle Giant will have a pair of Star Wars collectibles ready for the next holiday season. In addition to Princess Leia's addition to the Hoth-based line of Kenner Jumbo figures, the company will also have a 1:6 scale statue of Han Solo in Stormtrooper gear. The piece comes with two heads -- a Stormtrooper one and Han's glorious mug -- as well as two guns for all kinds of display options. Both pieces will hit towards the end of 2014.
THE WALKING DEAD | The fourth series of Funko's "Walking Dead" Pop Vinyl figures gets a little deeper into the cast of characters seen in the beloved and bloody AMC series. This batch includes Carl, Maggie, Zombie Penny, Injured Daryl and the Woodbury Walker. These toys will be out on Jan. 21.
BRAVEST WARRIORS | Pendleton Ward fans have been enjoying "Adventure Time" collectibles for a while, but now "Bravest Warriors" fans are getting some goodies. We Love Fine and Pop Culture Shock have bendie figures of Warriors Chris, Beth, Danny and Wallow available either on their own or in a group and a vinyl Catbug all up for pre-order right now!
SAILOR MOON | S.H. Figurarts continues to round out the Sailor Scouts with more and more highly articulated figures. The latest entry in the series will be none other than Sailor Venus whose powers are all love based. While little information was actually released on the Bluefish Tamashii Nations Facebook page, it does look like the figure will come with Artemis the cat. The piece will hit the states in March.
PREDATOR | NECA recently put together a pretty killer downloadable visual guide to their line of Predator action figures. Harkening back to the days of Masters of the Universe and Transformers the poster features over 50 figures with their names and can be downloaded for free right now!

After having my cab get rear-ended on the way to JFK, and sitting on the runway for half an hour in a plane full of crying and whining kids, I'm finally in the air on the way to Orlando for ISMAR. Unfortunately it is sans a mature demo. I wasn't able to get a built set of my hardware sent to Seac02 in time for them to integrate it. Actually, it's because I got a bit distracted by my new job, for which I was out at Ames, week before last, assisting with a set of tests in the Vertical Motion Simulator. I know ISMAR is a big deal, but one doesn't get many chances to play with that kind of hardware.
Anyhow, I tried to use my free time to work on the project, but things just didn't really come together without being in my lab at home.
So I'm off to ISMAR without my project in the shape that I'd intended, but I'm actually thinking that that's just as well. What I do have is a press badge, and rather than trying to impress the guys with the big brains with my little DIY VR project, I'm going to try to learn and see as much as I can this week, and blog about it every chance I get.
As always, if you want to hear the latest and greatest news in the field, head over Ori Inbar's blog at www.gamesalfresco.com. The big news right now is that the private API code for accessing the iPhone camera frame buffer is now being freely distributed, and Ori and company are the ones giving it out!
Starting tomorrow, you might want to begin checking back here daily to find out what I'm seeing at ISMAR, and what I make of it all. And if you're at the conference, drop me an email if you're interested in meeting up or have something you want me to see.
And if you want to try your code on an ION-powered netbook, I'll be driving my VR920 and CamAR with my shiny new HP Mini 311 😉

True Meaning
Happy holidays, everyone. Thank you for reading.
I had intended for this to be the final Brick House comic…but I wanted to do some wrap up dialog and that didn't really fit with what I wanted to say in today's strip. So there will at least one more strip to say goodbye to this project, and a blog post or two about why I've finally decided to close the book on Whiskey and Scotch.
Thank you again, readers. You were a total pain in the ass sometimes, but I love you all anyway.

Comedy Central has confirmed it will next "roast" James Franco—a decision that, as with past roastees like David Hasselhoff and Charlie Sheen, again raises the question of whether it's possible to satirize a living self-parody. The opportunity for such philosophical explorations into the depths of persona and Lisa Lampanelli's vagina obviously interested James Franco, who made the announcement himself via Instagram video: "Hey y'all wassup, I'm gonna get roasted on Comedy Central. Be sure to check it out. They wanted me to tell you that. All right," Franco mumbled, his studied detachment a subtextual nod to the artificial construct that is the roast's illusion of artistic community. "Ha ha," he laughed mirthlessly, a daring reflection of the audience.
After allowing Franco's announcement to linger—the ensuing silence inviting questions of whether this was itself the intended lampooning of James Franco—the network confirmed that, no, there would also be an actual roast airing September 2, to be immediately followed by James Franco's documentary about James Franco, Francophrenia, in a self-reflexive double feature. Though the lineup for the roast has yet to be released, it will presumably feature James Franco being ruthlessly teased by a procession of James Francos, who will read to James Franco various abstract phrases drawn from the plays of Eugène Ionesco and the movies of River Phoenix, while Franco slowly shakes his head to and fro to convey the dizzying absurdity of life. Roastmaster shall be the ghost of William Faulkner, contacted by séance, who will mockingly suggest James Franco is gay.
