Two Arrested in Undercover Operation
On December 15, 2010 at approximately 11:00 a.m. in the City of Utica, undercover agents purchased approximately 10 ounces of heroin for $ 28,000 from ROSARIO POLANCO (DOB 10-7-79) of 1019 Wager Street in Utica and SAKONE KHIEMDAVANH (DOB 9-20-65) of 2119 Erie Street, Utica.
This purchase took place in a parking lot near the intersection of John and Elizabeth Streets in the City of Utica. Subsequent search warrants executed in the City of Utica resulted in additional seizures of 11 ounces of cocaine, an AK-47 assault rifle, 3 shotguns, packaging materials used to package illicit substances for sale, digital scales used to measure and weigh illicit substances from 1019 Wager Street, and a .380 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and ammunition from located at 420 Lansing Street.
The estimated street value of the heroin and cocaine if packaged for resale and distribution on the street would have been in excess of $ 200,000
Also seized were a GMC Envoy SUV, a 1996 Acura sedan, and the $ 28,000 of purchase money.
POLANCO and KHIEMDAVANH were charged with Criminal Possession and Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree, Both are A-1 felony offenses and were remanded to the Oneida County Jail pending a felony examination scheduled to be held on Tuesday in Utica City Court.
The maximum punishment for the offenses charged is twenty (20) years in state prison.
Law Enforcement officers involved in the investigation were the Oneida County DETF, the DEA, the City of Utica Police Department's METRO narcotics unit and Special Operations Unit, the Rome Police Special Investigations Unit, the Oneida County District Attorney's Office and the U.S. Marshal's Service.
The investigation of this matter is ongoing and further state and federal charges are pending.
DA Scott McNamara stated that "this case exemplifies the hard work and efforts of the reorganized Drug Task Force and the results that can be anticipated in the future from our continued cooperation at the local, state and federal levels."
DEA SAC John P. Gilbride stated, "It is only through cooperative efforts such as this that drug trafficking and the social problems generated from drug use and abuse will be curtailed." SAC Gilbride congratulates all the agencies and departments in this investigation for a job well done."

1.5 cups of romaine lettuce (or a blend of romaine and arugula)
½ ripe avocado, cut into chunks
1 handful alfalfa sprouts
3-4 ounces turkey or chicken breast, cut into chunks (ideally no salt added)
1 ounce crumbled feta
1 tablespoon sunflower or shelled pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon raisins
part of a roasted red pepper, cut into strips
2-3 ounces mushrooms
pinch of salt and white pepper (optional)
Prepare the vegetables; make sure everything is in bite-sized pieces, or whatever thickness you like. Take a big soup bowl and arrange the meat, feta, avocado, and mushrooms. Put the lettuce, sprouts, and red pepper on top of the mixture. Sprinkle the raisins and seeds over the salad; toss lightly.
This particular salad came about when I realized a local sandwich shop also made salads to order. I can make about two or three of these at home for the cost of one in the shop. Admittedly, the one in the shop is more convenient.
Now, let's get into what to use to DRESS the salad. I have had perfectly lovely flavors (and no reactions) to plain old extra virgin olive oil. I also have used Bragg's liquid amino acids. Both are very low oxalate; be warned, though, some IC patients can't tolerate the saltiness that is the liquid soybeans. B_olthouse Farms also makes a somewhat fresh yogurt ranch dressing, but the jury is still out on whether that's a good choice for me. I have also had this salad plain; the red pepper and sprouts gives it a nice moistness all by itself.
I REALLY like that the above ingredients are basically good to go once you rinse and cut a few things—I keep the separate ingredients in the fridge at work and assemble them at lunch time. I bet Mason jars would work a treat, too.
I like to think of salads as a grain-free sandwich. Just as you can doctor up your sandwich anyway, you could substitute any ingredients you want. To make it vegetarian, try using sliced up firm tofu or boil and roast lentils ahead of time (just remember, ½ cup of tofu or lentils is medium oxalate). Cut up cucumbers, grill some onions—whatever! What do you like on your salad?

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Some students at Tidewater Community College now have some extra cash to put towards their school costs.
The ACCESS College Foundation awarded seven T.C.C. students at a special scholarship awards luncheon at the Town Point Club in Norfolk on Monday. The students received nearly $20,000 in ACCESS Scholarships. According to the organization, each attending student's average award is $1,250 a year, renewable annually for up to $1,250 for up to three years.
ACCESS Board Chairman Joan P. Brock, President and CEO Bonnie B. Sutton were joined by staff, supporters, the scholarship recipients and their families. The ACCESS scholars are Jasmine Wynn, Reza Farsi, William Ferris, Courtney Redford, Morgan Sawyer, Ciarra Cortado and Reginald Ford.

Things have been quite busy around here lately, amongst others due to organizing the Danish nationals in SUP wave and shooting the event film for WaterZ. That have meant a lot time spend in the office, and away from my normal routine. I think it's fun to do other things, but I'm foremost a waterman that loves getting in the ocean! So I was stoked yesterday when I could go back to having my main focus on that again, and not just getting short sessions here and there. And what a day I had! A fairly solid Atlantic swell with a good period was hitting the coast. The wind was up and down from a sideoff shore direction, sometimes good for wave sailing, sometimes good for SUP. Having both sets of equipment with me I was ready for anything. These 2 sports really complement each other so well! It turned out that is was really only good for wave sailing in short periods so I opted for going SUP and battling it out the few windy periods. I scored some pretty awesome waves, as you can see from enclosed pictures! Can't wait for tomorrow that's going to get even better!
Remember you can click pictures for a bigger size. By the way worry for the pictures being somewhat blurry – my lens needs to go to the repair place for an adjustment.

Lead Based Paint. You don't want to be caught in the Cross Fire
Recently a young man was prepping a house to paint. This was a historic house in Marietta. He was scrapping off flaking paint. Unfortunately he was visible from the road ,even worse a lead base paint inspector drove by and saw him. The inspector stopped, shut down the job, spent 3 hours writing up the "violations" sent him to get certified and said they would discuss fines after he was certified.
A Property Management firm in Jacksonville Florida recently had an unwelcome visitor. The EPA came calling. They wanted to see if the firm was in compliance. Specifically they wanted to see the signed waivers that acknowledged that the tenant had received the "Lead Based Paint Compliance Disclosure Letter ".Unfortunately the files were not complete and the Firm was fined $150,000.A large Georgia firm had the same experience. Their fine $200,000.
In Florida the enforcement is handled by The EPA. Georgia has elected to handle enforcement themselves (EPD)
As a property owner you are still responsible even if you have a property management firm or a realtor involved in the sale, rental, or lease purchase of your home. There are two areas of concern. You are responsible to have the proper paperwork in file.
You are also are responsible to follow the guidelines if you have a property constructed before 1978, If you or your contractor disturbs the paint.
A contractor friend estimates that following the guidelines for dealing with lead based paint will add ten percent to the cost of a job.
A Realtor friend commented recently that he was doing a short sale on a large historic property with a lot of detail work that will have to be dealt with the next time the house is painted. I think ultimately the price of older buildings will be affected by the guidelines.
This may create opportunities in older dwellings.
On a property constructed prior to 1978 the requirements for the treatment are very specific.

Restaurant critic Ed Murrieta, who left the News Tribune earlier this year, is back at the table with a bang with "South Sound Eats." He describes it as "an online food community where we explore and share the best food and beverages in the South Sound," and he means it to be interactive in more than the usual sense of the word. You are invited, for instance, to dine with him literally as well as figuratively.
Eats is starting out with blogs by Ed, by business partner Kris Blondin (formerly of Tacoma's Vin Grotto), and others he met through his News Tribune blog, Ed's Diner, which always hosted a lively conversation in its comments sections. I immediately recognized a name on the "Twin Tastes" blog — it's Melissa LaCaille, whose winning mac-and-cheese recipe I wrote about recently, teaming up with sister Denise.
John Schoppert of King's Bookstore is reviewing food-related books on the site, and giving a 10 percent discount off the books he reviews to SSE readers. The site's also hosting events with its writers, such as a $1 beer tasting with beer blogger Phillip Hamilton, with food cooked up by the LaCailles.
Murrieta promised in his opening blog entry:
"Over the coming weeks, we'll launch our guest chef blog, plus the blog we're all champing at the cheese bit to write: The Cheese Blog Collective, because we all love cheese.
"Soon, we'll launch our dining and shopping guides. And that's where the community fun begins. I'm no longer anonymous and I no longer dine alone. You — my readers, my neighbors, my friends — are dining and drinking with me now. Join South Sound Eats' Facebook fan page to stay abreast of my dinner invites."
That last one is hard for me to get my former-critic's-brain around. I'll ask Ed to elaborate. But for now, if you're interested, here is his first alluring call on the Facebook page:
"I seek dinner companions for two upcoming reviews in mid-December:
Brix 25 in Gig Harbor
Xinh's Clam and Oyster House in Shelton
The first two respondents whose schedules mesh with mine shall accompany me."

Metro Briefing | New York: Manhattan: Trial Of Lawyer Is Postponed Again
By Sabrina Tavernise (NYT); Compiled by George James
Published: October 19, 2004
The testimony of Lynne F. Stewart, a lawyer accused of aiding terrorism, was postponed yesterday for a week, according to a statement distributed by her law office. The trial of Ms. Stewart, who was scheduled to take the stand yesterday, will resume on Monday, her office said. It did not give a reason for the adjournment. The delay is the second since last week, when, according to several people associated with the case, a co-defendant, Ahmed Abdel Sattar, suffered a mild heart attack. Sabrina Tavernise (NYT)

Hi honeys
I'm so excited to share this with you! Have you heard of Polyvore?
"Afternoon Tea With Friends" by me :) You can see it (and details of the items used) Here
Ever Wanted To Create A Collection? To Release Your Inner Designer?
Imagine having a fantasy closet. Now imagine that you could stock that fantasy closet with any item from the best stores, from the catwalks, any item ever created, past or present, by all of the greatest designers. All there for you to mix & match, to use to create your own looks.
For the past year or so I have been having great fun creating "sets" at a fabulous site called Polyvore. Oh my goodness, if you love fashion, if you love interior design, if you love to look at beautiful things, Polyvore is the place to be! Essentially, the site encourages its members to create a set or even a collection of their favourite looks whether in the worlds of fashion or interior design. Each set you create will be saved on your home page (you can see mine here ) and if you run your cursor over each set you'll see the details (inc price etc) of each piece.
I thought I'd show you a few of my creations as an illustration and thought we'd start with something glamorous.....
I thought I'd show you a few of my creations as an illustration and thought we'd start with something glamorous.....
What are your favourite looks? Do you love Hollywood style glamour? casual chic? I've always said I was born too late. I so long to live in a time when ladies wore hats & gloves, and created this little montage in honour of the 1940s
Homage to Flappers
The beautiful costumes used in the re-make of the Great Gatsby movie inspired me to make this homage to flappers :) Those fabulous ladies were carving a path for all women in the 1920's freeing them of the restrictions of their whalebone corsets and stays and putting the fun into fashion. Cropping their hair, taking on the world and demanding that women have a voice.
I adore Polyvore, it lets me indulge my fashion fantasies :) I thought I'd share some of my little creations in this post and hope that you might want to have fun too. So, here then are some of my little creations, made using some stunning pieces designed by some fabulously talented people.
Details of Emerald Chic are here includes specifics of that stunning Dolce & Gabbana lace overlay dress & don't get me started on how gorgeous that Prada bag is :)
I though this was a perfect outfit for an afternoons shopping in the City. Details for "Afternoon in the City" are here Isn't that dress fabulous?
Details for these awesome Armani pieces are here
Details for this Red Carpet look in stunning Sapphire can be found here
Details for this pretty spring look are here
This ensemble is put together using stunning pieces by Valentino
Details of each individual piece can be found here
Not Just For Fashion
There is much more to Polyvore than just fashion though. I spend hours pouring over articles on interior design and among other soft furnishing "finishing touches" I'm a great lover of cushions & throw pillows, and had fun creating this.....
Details here
Polyvore is such a fun site! You can find the Home page here Are you a member already? If so, do link to some of your creations in the comments section, I'd so love to see them. Hope you're having a fabulous day honeys xx

U.S. crops are escaping record-setting cold weather with little damage, while the arctic blast drove cattle prices to a record as animals struggle to gain weight.
The coldest spots in Florida citrus groves were near freezing, and oranges aren't damaged unless temperatures are below 28 degrees Fahrenheit for a few hours, said Dale Mohler, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pa. Snow cover helped insulate wheat plants, according to DTN/Progressive Farmer. Cattle extended a rally to a record for the seventh straight session.
"The worst of it has gone by, especially in the Midwest," Claudio Oliveira, the head of trading at Castlestone Management LLC in New York, said in a telephone interview. "I do expect grain prices to come off now, and I'd expect the same thing to happen in the orange-juice market."
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Agriculture Index of eight crops slid 0.3 percent to 351.03 at 3:17 p.m. in New York, after rising 0.6 percent Monday.
Orange juice for March delivery settled 0.2 percent lower at $1.4335 a pound Tuesday on ICE Futures U.S in New York.
"The bullet missed them," Mohler of AccuWeather said. "I don't think this even damaged the vegetable crops, tomatoes and strawberries, which are more susceptible."

Skip to comments.Obama seeks to highlight economic successes
Posted on 01/21/2011 10:19:04 AM PST by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama wants to cast some light on economic success stories in the shadows of a slow recovery. And he is looking to find some more.
On Friday, the president travels to Schenectady, N.Y., birthplace of the General Electric Co., to showcase a new GE deal with India and announce a restructured presidential advisory board to focus on increasing employment and competitiveness.
Obama is naming GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt as the head of a Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. The panel replaces Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which had been chaired by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. Obama announced late Thursday that Volcker, as expected, was ending his tenure on the panel.

Odd as many economists are hard pressed to find any success stories when it comes to Obama and his "handling" of the economy.
Certainly, unemployment lines are full of them.
Mass brainwashing and rewriting of history. 12 to 16% unemployment and a country heading for financial implosion. The newsmedia just plays along.
Should be a pretty short speech...
Obama died his hair?
To be sure, her skills at extemporaneous speaking leave much to be desired.

Ackman's Pershing Said to Seek Replacing Green With Harrison at CP Rail
William Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP, the largest shareholder in Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. (CP), urged the carrier to hire the former chief executive officer of rival Canadian National Railway Co. (CNR), a person familiar with the matter said.
Some directors are eager to meet with Hunter Harrison, who led Canadian National from 2003 through 2009, after Pershing recommended him as a replacement for CEO Fred Green, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the details are private. The U.S. shares rose the most in a month.
A CEO switch would follow the strategy Ackman pursued at J.C. Penney Co. (JCP), which brought in Apple Inc.'s retail chief, Ron Johnson, this year after Pershing became the department-store chain's biggest investor. Canadian National's net income more than tripled during Harrison's tenure.
The retired CEO, 67, enjoys "celebrity-like status among investors," and hiring him probably would boost the stock, Jason Seidl, a Dahlman Rose & Co. analyst in New York, wrote in a note today. He rates Canadian Pacific as "hold."
Harrison has postponed any meetings with Canadian Pacific until after tomorrow, the date through which he is barred from working for a Canadian National competitor, the person said. Harrison has spoken with Pershing and is interested in returning to work, the person said.
Seeking Value
Ackman, 45, invests in companies he deems undervalued and pushes changes he says will improve shareholder returns. The U.S. shares of Calgary-based Canadian Pacific fell 31 percent this year through Sept. 22, a day before Pershing began buying shares, dwarfing the 3.8 percent drop for Canadian National.
Canadian Pacific gained 4.1 percent to $67.67 at 4 p.m. in New York, the biggest advance since Nov. 28.
Ed Greenberg, a spokesman for Canadian Pacific, declined to comment. Jennifer Burner, a spokeswoman for New York-based Pershing, couldn't immediately comment, and Harrison didn't return a telephone call.
Pershing disclosed its initial stake in Canadian Pacific on Oct. 28, and has expanded that holding to 14.2 percent. The New York-based hedge fund said Dec. 1 that talks with Canada's second-largest railroad on changes to operations and management had been "productive."
Canadian Pacific has been run by Green, 55, since May 2006, and the board is led by Chairman John Cleghorn.
New Directors
Two Canadian Pacific directors added this month both were suggested by Pershing, the person said. One of them, Edmond Harris, worked for Montreal-based Canadian National under Harrison and later was Canadian Pacific's chief operating officer.
Earnings at Canadian Pacific rose about 11 percent during the years that Harrison was boosting net income at Canadian National, the country's biggest railroad.
Canadian Pacific's ratio of operating expenses to sales is the highest among the major North American carriers and has been equal to or exceeded the average among its peers since 2008, according to Bloomberg Industries data.
The Globe & Mail reported on Pershing's discussions about a CEO change earlier today.

She loved it, I liked it. And that was apparently all it took for me to head towards the fitting room (mistake #2). What can I say? I'm so easily enabled :( My initial like turned to love the minute I tried it on. The top came with a navy cami, but I didn't even bother and just wore the top over a long sleeve tee that I already had on. The floral lace detailing is thick and sturdy (almost crochet-like) and reminds me of my much-loved Ann Taylor lace dress. Perhaps due to the thickness, the lace is a bit itchy, even when worn over a turtleneck like in today's outfit. I'm thinking of doubling up with another layer underneath in the future. Aside from the material being machine washable, my favorite part is how I can change up the look with different colored/style layers underneath. Versatility ftw!

I got out of the car and headed for the back.
I opened the trunk and looked at the bags of groceries I still had to carry inside in the pouring rain.
I grabbed as many as I could and ran up to the house.
"Mom, I will hold the door for you," my four-year-old said.
I carried in the packages then headed back outside for more.
What I saw next made me stop in my tracks.
My wet six-year-old was walking up to the house carrying bags of groceries.
"I know there's a lot of bags and since it's raining I wanted to help you."
Right then I knew I was doing something right. I felt so proud at that moment – my little boys were learning to become men.
Here are 8 ways I try to teach my boys to be little gentlemen:
1. Lead by example. Boys need a role model, someone in their life they can look up to and learn from. Both my husband and Dad always take the time to teach the boys new things. Not only is it important to be an example but it's also important to explain things to them so they understand. I'm thankful to have two great men in their lives to help guide them.
2. Make eye contact. I want my boys to walk into a room with confidence, shake someone's hand and look them in the eye. Making eye contact helps build self-confidence.
3. Be Polite. Every gentleman uses the words "Please", "Thank you", "Excuse me", "Can I help you?" and they even know when to say "I'm sorry." If my boys demand something, I tell them to ask again nicely. It's all in the tone and I never let them get away with talking nasty.
4. Give up your seat. A few months ago, we were on a Disney bus headed back to our hotel. A pregnant women got onto the bus and my husband (who was standing) asked my oldest to let the woman sit in his seat. He eagerly got up so she could sit down. When we got off the bus, my husband explained to him why it's important to think of others.
5. Acknowledge their actions. I make sure when I see my boys doing something nice or polite to tell them how proud I am of them. I want them to know what they did was good and that this is the type of behavior my husband and I expect.
6. Help others. I tell my boys that even though someone may seem like they don't need help, it's always nice to offer it. Just like when my boys helped me carry in groceries and opened the door for me, I made sure to tell them that I appreciated their help.
7. Table manners. We always make sure our boys sit straight in their chairs, don't use their hands to eat, and keep their elbows off the table. This is still a work in progress, but we aren't going to give up!
8. Good work ethic. Of course my boys think money grows on trees, so we try to show them that you need to work hard to earn money. I'm proud to say they are always eager to grab their tools and help my husband around the house. We do reward them for their hard work and this keeps them excited for the next project they can help with.
My husband and I feel it's important to teach our boys early on so they grow up knowing how to be respectful and kind people.
I always think, I want my boys to be the type of men that I would want my daughter (if I had one) to marry.
Tell me: How do you teach your son to be a gentleman?

Rayburn House Office Building - Room 2253, Washington, DC
AEHR to Brief Congress on Innovations in Environmental & Health Policy
A Congressional Briefing Sponsored by U.S. Representative Donna Edwards (D-MD)
The growing interest in moving our country towards a green economy is an important opportunity for Congress to not only work on legislation that supports sustainable technologies and job creation, but to also re-examine the effectiveness of the environmental regulatory system. A critical question for the 111th Congress is whether a green economy can be achieved with the current environmental regulatory system.
The briefing will provide an analysis of human rights-based innovations in environmental and health laws and policies that are emerging in other countries and helping to spur a green economy. Legal experts and community leaders will discuss how these innovations point to steps that Congress can take to ensure environmental protection for all people, remedy disproportionate pollution burdens harming people of color and the poor, and stimulate a green economy.
Speakers will include:

Good question, it certainly looks worthless to me when you have a properly configured Python environment. It would probably make more sense to have ONE autopath-like module where you say something like: from pypy.tool import pypypath pypypath.dir_of(__name__) to determine the current path, pypypath.dir_of('pypy') to determine the root dir of pypy. dir_of should probably accept varargs and do os.path.join(...) as a shortcut, because that seems to be the most common case. -bob

It seems to be an ongoing trend that I sit on my boxes for days before I manage to get a review out. Last night I was going to post this, but then I realized I hadn't taken a picture, so I waited until today to get the photo.
Escape Monthly is just under $40 per box (with code for 20% off your subscription – see end of post) and comes with a variety of food, home, skincare items themed around a city/region. Each box comes with a guide for that area. Boxes are sent monthly with no option to skip. They offer a referral commission program.

Whoa, that's a lot of chocolate! The majority of the brands seemed to come from Vermont, which is totally a place I want to visit because I always heard about the Vermont Teddy Bear Co on the radio when I was living in New York. I imagine it to be like a mini Colorado for whatever reason.
Here's what came in the box:
Frommer's EasyGuide to Boston, Cape Cod and the islands – I've been to Boston a few times, mostly when I was a teenager, but I haven't been to Cape Cod or the surrounding area. Panda and I definitely plan on making a trip to those areas at some point, so this will be a handy guide (though I might regret arming him with so much knowledge). I'm not much of a guide kind of person, but Panda loves reading through them to find the gems.
body brush – If you know me by now, you know I love things like this. I read about dry brushing a few years back and it totally intrigued me. Now I have my very own tool to try it out! I'm sure I can find some instructional videos to try out this method. If it can really help with energy as it purports, or even if it clears off dead skin and maybe helps my circulation, this will be well worth it.
Plum Island Soap Co. face moisturizer – Ooo, the lovely lemon scent of this is very nice. The texture has a bit of a bounce to it and I feel like this will be the perfect moisturizer for whenever snow does decide to some this season. Looks like it certainly won't be this year, but I hear February's going to be a doozy. And randomly, I noticed the final ingredient is borax – my dad used to work at US Borax!
Nature's Mysteries lavender roll-on perfume – I've never thought of lavender as a perfume, but I do like it. I'm used to it being the scent for products and often combined with other scents. I'll have to use this on days out and be careful not to use it at home for fun, because I just discovered today that Smokey (one of my cats) doesn't like lavender at all! We have a pouch by our pillow and when she sniffed it, she was not happy. This seems to be a personal preference thing, because Missy did not react that way at all.
Delights of the Earth Cran-Lavender lip balm – These unique blends are really cool and I've never heard of combining cranberry with lavender before. I have way too many lip balms I'm trying to use right now, so I'll save this but I look forward to using it eventually! Hopefully it won't be too old by then…
True North Maple-Vanilla granola – This is a most excellent snack pack for a trip or day when I might not be able to grab a meal. Or, I might start buying yogurt again and topping it with some of this. This looks so familiar and I feel like I've seen this flavor somewhere before. I just can't quite place it, but apparently I did get this brand in the Vermont box. Somehow the maple vanilla combo is something I feel like I've seen, yet I can't remember where.
Lake Champlain Chocolates dark chocolate rum caramel – Aw man! I was excited about a large chocolate bar made of dark chocolate with caramel… and then I saw the rum part. I don't drink alcohol, eat food with their flavors, and I even avoid anything cooked with it. I'm pretty sure I'd taste the rum in this case, so I'll share this with my coworkers!
dan's chocolates lot-a-choc, trail hound, white delight, peppy-r-mint, pb ecstasy, and caramel river bars – Now here are chocolates I will eat! I love the variety so I can try out a bunch of different flavors. So far I've had the lot-a-choc, which is totally adorable because it is basically a milk chocolate bar fused with a dark chocolate bar. Of course, I bit straight down the middle and indulged in deeeeelicious chocolate goodness. I also had the caramel one, which tastes great, though I wish the caramel was gooier so I could enjoy that texture of it. These little bars are delightful.
Next month is back to India and I am super curious what will come this time. Which products from this New England Escape Monthly box do you like most? If you want to sign up, be sure to sign up for their newsletter to get a code for 20% off the lifetime of your subscription.

A Fathers4Justice campaigner from Doncaster accused of defacing a portrait of the Queen with purple paint while it was hanging in Westminster Abbey told jurors he did so to highlight the "social justice issue of our time" as they retired to consider their verdict.
Tim Haries, 42, is alleged to have smuggled a can of purple spray paint into the abbey on June 13 before scrawling the word "help" on the painting worth £160,000.
Jurors at London's Southwark Crown Court previously heard that moments after committing the act, Haries is alleged to have told a steward at the abbey: "Sorry mate, I've got nothing against the Queen" before telling a police officer he was "guilty as charged".
Prosecutor Allister Walker said Haries shouted "fathers for justice" as he carried out the grafitti on the large oil painting before being tackled to the ground by a steward.
On Wednesday, ahead of being sent out to deliberate their verdict, jurors were addressed by Haries who told them he has now decided to represent himself.
Presenting his own closing speech, Haries, who denies a charge of causing criminal damage, told them he carried out the act as a protest against the "social catastrophe" of fathers not being allowed access to their children.
"The pain of losing my children has been like a living bereavement for me," he said.
"I believe that contact denial is a hate crime and an abuse of children's fundamental rights."
As he summed up the evidence heard in the day-long trial, Judge Alistair McCreath, Recorder of Westminster, directed the jury that direct action or civil disobedience could not be used as a defence in law.
He told jurors: "There is, as you all know, an honourable tradition of civil disobedience here and elsewhere in the world.
"These were people who wanted to demonstrate the passion of their beliefs and the justice of their cause and they did so, by making throughout their actions, two important statements.
"First, 'I believe so strongly in this cause that I'm prepared to show it by breaking the law'.
"And secondly, 'The world can judge how strongly I feel by seeing I'm ready to take the consequences of that unlawful act'.
"What they did not and cannot say was 'Because I have a strong belief in the justice of my cause I should be allowed to break the law, my belief should give me exemption from the consequence of my actions'."
The portrait by artist Ralph Heimans was cordoned off by a rope in the abbey's Chapter House as part of a wider exhibition to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The 11ft by 9ft oil painting was bought by Westminster Abbey for £160,000 after previously being on display in the artist's native Australia and cost £7,300 to repair.
Haries, of Bellis Avenue, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, denies a charge of causing criminal damage of more than £5,000.

By now, you've probably heard about the new Carl's Jr./Hardee's Southwest Patty Melt. Or maybe you haven't, because you were too busy watching Kate Upton have sex with it. Carl's obviously knows how to generate press: the news was all aflutter about the commercial; some called it sexy, some called it disgusting. I call it fodder for a review, because while I was actually rather excited to try something I'm reviewing (for once), let's face it: the commercial is more interesting than the burger.
Let's have some fun and examine all the different ways Kate Upton has sex with the Southwest Patty Melt!
Kate is sitting at a movie drive-in, in what looks like an already sexy classic convertible. He date is a Happy Star bag. The idea that Kate Upton couldn't get a date to quietly have under-blanket sex with during the movie is almost as improbable as the idea that she found a drive-in movie lot that still exists.
But Kate doesn't want to bonk a dude; she wants to eat a Southwest Patty Melt. Her first position is oral; she bites into the sandwich, practically having to unhinge her jaw like a snake in the process, creating a sound that's more like someone stepping on a slug than eating a burger.
She lets her hair down like a sexy librarian; sweat beads up on her chest and she takes her sweater off, making for a completely obvious but really who cares about that tit shot.
Kate Upton is suddenly transported to the back seat of the vehicle, where she is sitting on top of the seats with the Happy Star Bag between her legs. It is a very unladylike position, as her legs are spread quite far apart and she is wearing a dress. I guess the Happy Star bag is going down on her? Perhaps they are performing the sexual act known as the Leg Lock. I have a friend to thank for going out on the Internet and finding the actual name of that position. I also now know the names of 77 different sexual positions, and I think I'm going to have to take up yoga.
Up next, Kate Upton is eating her burger while laying down in the backseat of the convertible, which I would not recommend as it seems that would present quite the choking hazard. Her legs are resting on the top of the door and the Happy Star is once again between her legs. I would call this missionary style, which is so pedestrian, but hey, sometimes you gotta get back to the basics.
At the end of the commercial, she's just kind of sitting in a sexy model pose, and takes another slow, juicy bite out of the sandwich. I am assuming this is her version of the post-coital cigarette.
Oh, we're not done. There's another commercial on Carl's Jr.'s website that I'd like to touch on briefly, much like how many of you would like to touch on Kate Upton. Or yourselves, after watching that commercial. Ugh I just grossed myself out.
I can't identify the woman in this commercial, but she also appears to be able to unhinge her jaw, and porn music plays while some audio geek in the studio steps on another poor slug as we get a close-up of her biting into the giant Southwest Patty Melt. She makes her best O-face, then bites into a jalapeño and does that thing with her hands that you do when something is too hot, while her mouth does a weird thing like she's about to suck on…you know what, this review is already incredibly raunchy, so I'll let you readers finish that sentence.
Then some text comes up that says…JALAPEN-O-FACE?! Oh my god, I made the same joke that Carl's Jr. did, but they made it even better by throwing in a pun. I am shamed.
Well, it can only go upward from here, folks. Let's just talk about the burger.
I figured I would enjoy the Southwest Patty Melt from the moment I heard about it. I already enjoy Carl's Jalapeno Burger, and I prefer sourdough bread over a hamburger bun, so I was pretty psyched.
And the Southwest Patty Melt delivers, for the most part. Carl's describes it as "A charbroiled beef patty, with sliced jalapeños, grilled onions, pepper-Jack cheese and spicy Santa Fe sauce, all on grilled sourdough bread." The bread was a little smushed, which is to be expected in fast food, but it was sufficiently toasted. The sauce was plentiful and tasty, but more tangy than spicy. The cheese was melty, and paired well with the sauce.
The grilled onions didn't really add much flavor; there also wasn't very much of them. The most important omission, however, were the jalapeños. As you can see in the picture, mine came with only three, and one of those was a small end piece. In a sandwich, and a commercial, that puts emphasis on a certain ingredient, having a serious lack of that ingredient is a big misstep.
All in all, I enjoyed the Southwest Patty Melt. I liked the bread, Carl's always delivers a decent burger, and the cheese and the sauce combined were creamy and added a little heat. While I actually didn't mind the lacking/flavorlessness of the grilled onions, the lack of jalapeños was the really disappointing part. Like with any fast food, I could order it again and get a ton of them, but I can only go off of my experience, and three jalapeños just ain't cutting it.
In conclusion, I'd like to apologize to my mom for what is probably the raunchiest review I've ever written. I blame Carl's Jr for turning a burger into a sex act.
Carl's Jr. Southwest Patty Melt
- Score: 4 out of 5 Kate Upton-on-burger sex acts
- Price: $3.49 (for the single patty version)
- Size: 1 burger
- Purchased at: Carl's Jr. #828
- Nutritional Quirks: Have some water handy, because the single patty Southwest Patty Melt contains 1,460 mg of sodium. The Six Dollar version contains a whopping 1,970 mg.
So Good also reviewed the Southwest Patty Melt (and got 17 jalapeño slices!), as did GrubGrade, Brand Eating and An Immovable Feast.

Memories Of Yesterday And Today
Hopefully the rest of the days ahead will be just like it was today. The sun was out, clear blue skies, and a gentle wind was greatly enjoyed! (laugh) It was such a shock to receive snow on the first day of Spring and I was really wondering what was going on with Mother Nature after looking out my window, rubbing my eyes, and looking again just to find it really was snow out thereon the ground. It was crazy and I was so disappointed. I began to think that it was like all of the disappointments in life when we expect one thing and then get something entirely different. But, when that happens, (when we finally get what we were wanting) well.... we really appreciate it even more. I think! (laugh) I hope anyway.
Today, was like the first day of spring for me. I uncovered the riding lawn mower, changed the oil, filled it with gas and took off for a long, awaited ride. Memories started flooding back when my grandson would pretend the lawn mower and the wagon behind it was a Pirates ship, the green earth was really the green sea and the trees were bad people that were after us. He would hold a sick up in the air, pretending it was a fearless sword and his peanut butter sandwich became a fresh, caught fish. Even though, today, the lawn mower was no longer a pirate ship, but just a way to keep the lawn from looking like a jungle, I still felt like I was sailing the ocean green and so thankful I had the opportunity to experience that long ago day, when I was sailing with Captain Hook (Justice, my grandson) for a whole day. Memories, how wonderful some of them are!
I did get a lot done today and the fresh air did not leave me sleepy, but rejuvenated from a very long winter. I suppose, tomorrow on my agenda, I will be baking fresh bread. I have not done that in a very long time. Rolling the dough into little white canon balls and using a spoon as a canon. Yes, that is a total other story and I will not bore you with it, but it was such fun! (laugh)
Dance like no one's watching. Love as if you've never been hurt. Kiss as if you've never kissed before. Sing as if no one can hear. Write as if the ink is endless. Write as if no one's looking over your shoulder. Live as though heaven is on Earth. And Never regret what made you smile!
Cute story. I just smile when I see that a writer enjoys the life events that compel the story to take word form. ~~smile~~

Writer suggestion: wouldn't the flying doughs balls have a more visual impact if catapulted from a spoon (something you have in your hand) rather than "fired" from a cannon? that is what I saw anyways; no matter what was "in word", my imagination took over...just a thought.
You write wonderfully Journalwriter :) I was brought back into those memories with you. Justice sounds like a very cool fellow!

I too would love to read about the cannonballs made of dough with a spoon to fire them one day.
I love your story. It's so imaginative. Great job.

And yes, I would love to read about the little white cannonballs and the cannon.

Maybe

Someday

Hopefully

Soon.

Blessings to you

Chasing down opponents on Dodge Viper Cup series
Aug. 3, 2010 at 3:03 a.m.
Not too long ago, Ben Keating wasn't exactly doing well at racing.
He said he would take to the go-cart course against some friends, and the results were not encouraging.
"I always got my butt kicked, and I thought I was fast," Keating said. "And now, I'm lapping everybody, because I understand the mechanics of how to go fast."
He's learned that racing isn't all about speed, and that it can look deceptively easy to a lot of people.
"I look at racing, and it doesn't seem like it's that hard to go around in circles," he said.
But it is, Keating said. And the owner of the Port Lavaca Auto Group has spent a large part of the last four years learning the ins and outs of racing, how to pass and break along with studying tracks.
And that work paid off on July 10, when Keating won the inaugural event of the Dodge Viper Cup series at Virginia International Speedway in Alton, Va.
That win, combined with a second-place finish the following day at the same track, has him in the points lead in the series.
His interest in racing started out simple enough: With a vacation.
"My wife bought me a weekend at the track for Christmas," he said. "It was the funnest thing I ever did."
It sparked him to buy a Dodge Viper race car that came ready for the track. While the car enabled him to get into racing faster - he started the following year - it didn't translate into immediate success.
"I did very poorly, but learned quickly," Keating said. "I was really amazed at how technical it is. It makes you appreciate watching racing more."
But joining the Dodge Viper Cup meant there was little time to prepare. The first of the Cup series' 10 races was in early July, and the cars arrived at their destinations in June.
Fortunately, major customization wasn't an issue, Keating said.
"You're not allowed to change anything on the car - very few things," he said. "So it was changing the oil, changing the brake fluid and putting the brake pads on that you wanted and moving the seat."
Part of his preparation for a race includes simulations. Keating has a set up that allows him to practice on computer simulations.
Keating had been a member of the Viper Racing League, and had performed well on that series. But the Dodge Viper Cup is totally different, with stiffer competition and fewer amateur racers.
"This is a professional series," he said. "Always before, I was in an amateur series with a bunch of guys going out and having fun.
"This is a lot more serious. This is, you get paid for winning. You're on television. Now, instead of just being a weekend warrior, I am a professional race car driver, to add something to my resume.
"That brings out a much different caliber of person.
"Most of the cars that are racing in the Dodge Viper Cup are owners who are racing their car," he said.
But the front runners tend to be teams with professionals racing the cars for owners. There is one other owner who Keating said races his car and is at the forefront of the Dodge Viper Cup.
"I think the results of the race ended up being better than I deserved," he said. "I was not the fastest car there; all weekend, I had been the third fastest car. But I was very consistent, didn't make any mistakes and we passed tech inspection."
The great folly of the first race for others, Keating pointed out, was that several of the cars were set too low, something he and his team made a conscious effort to avoid.
"On the first race, the two cars that qualified in front of me didn't pass tech inspection, so I got to start in front," he said.
But starting in first was an odd sensation.
"It's very hard to lead," he said. "It's hard not to have a rabbit to chase. You're not exactly sure how you're doing or if you're walking away from them. When you're chasing somebody down, it's all out going after them as hard as you can.
"When you're out in front, it's about trying to not make any mistake. Don't spin out, don't make any dumb errors which are going to hurt you."
Overall, he's excited about the new series and his prospects on it.
"All the cars are the same, and it should be a very competitive series, and I love the competition," Keating said. "I love to have a rabbit to chase, I love to have a carrot. I want to do well and I want to know that I did well against similar caliber people."

The KTOO station downtown took some heavy hits from the strong winds this week. Gusts pushed two of the roof's four satellite dishes out of alignment and knocked over the station's new backup satellite dish. As a result, listeners and AlaskaOne viewers had temporary program disruptions. Meanwhile, the station is working on assessing and repairing the damage, according to its general manager, Bill Legere.
"It was extremely bad that we lost both dishes and the backup at the same time," he said. The dish that toppled over was the station's backup that had just been installed in October. Legere said no one was injured in the incident, which occurred between 11 p.m. and midnight Tuesday. This was around the time the other two dishes malfunctioned as well.
"I got a call after 12:15 (a.m.) saying they were off," said Legere.
The dish on the ground was motorized to point at different satellites for different backups. Legere said the damage will be examined but it appears to be unsalvageable.
One of the misaligned dishes tunes in the Public Broadcasting Service using the AlaskaOne television service. The other dish tunes in NPR out of Washington, D.C.
The roof's largest satellite, which receives PBS from Washington, D.C., was unaffected.
Legere said there was also damage to some auxiliary antennas that need to be repaired.
He said the station's team scrambled to restore as much of the regular programming as possible. This was accomplished by linking up with its sister station in Anchorage, KSKA, and streaming some programming from the Internet. A local news anchor was also there to explain the disruptions on the air, as many tuned in to music rather than their regular news shows. He said most of it was returned to normal by 6:45 a.m.
"We've pretty much been able to replicate our normal schedule but there are some variations and substitutes," he said.
Equipment is being flown in from Anchorage to repair the damage. This includes materials necessary to do a temporary PBS feed in case repairs can't be done on the roof today. Assessing the damage and repairing it will mean going on the roof, which Legere said was not possible on Wednesday because of the weather.
"It's not safe for our engineers to be on the roof until the winds die down," said Legere. "We haven't been able to get up there to see if there's any other damage."
He said winds should be below 40 mph to make working conditions safe. Until then, Legere said they won't know the extent of the damage, cost estimates or even how much the satellites moved. He is hopeful repairs can begin today.
Safety was a concern on the ground too. The parking lot was shut down in case there was any flying debris, and people were discouraged from parking, although Legere said these warnings were ignored by many.
Silverbow Construction was on the scene early Wednesday morning and secured the dish to the ground by 7:45 a.m.
Legere said the damage was unexpected, as the dishes were designed to withstand winds up to 100 mph. He guessed winds Tuesday night may have been stronger than that at some point.
"We thought we were prepared for the worst but got it even worse," he said.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service in Juneau reported the sensor on top of the Federal Building was not working and so could not come up with exact wind speeds in that area during that time. Nikki Becker, a hydro-meteorological technician there, said South Douglas sensors showed winds at the nearby boat harbor were 68 mph at 11:04 a.m. She said a 3:24 a.m. reading showed winds at 88 mph.
Legere said this is the first time something like this has happened. He said while the station has experienced some very strong winds, it never sustained damage like this. The dishes have always held up.
"They're designed to spin free in high winds, and that's happened a few times in the past 20 years but never like this," he said.
KTOO wasn't the only property in Juneau affected by the high winds. A house and 14 vehicles in South Douglas and downtown Juneau suffered broken windows on the sides exposed to the high winds, according to a release from the Juneau Police Department. JPD is encouraging residents to park vehicles in an area away from wind exposure, and to secure belongings near homes, the release states.

More Helping Hands for Indiana's Aging Residents
By Mary Kuhlman, Indiana News Service
(Indianapolis, Ind) – Many of Indiana's older residents need a little help – from in-home health services to transportation for a doctor visit – in order to remain at home as they age. A new pilot program is shifting the way those services are delivered to better focus on individual needs.
The Community Living Program, part of the CHOICE program, is being tested at four Area Agencies on Aging. Karen Gilliland, deputy director for policy and programs at the Division of Aging in the Family and Social Services Administration, said the pilot program supplements resources already available to an individual.
"We want to be sure we're not substituting programs for people who are already there helping to care for this individual, or assisting them in making decisions and doing the chores and activities of daily living," she said.
Services range from simple fall-prevention measures to getting people assistance for meal preparation or medication management if they need it.
Northwest Indiana Community Action in Crown Point is participating in the pilot. Its chief operating officer, Jennifer Malone, said anything that better helps meet the needs of the aging population benefits everyone statewide.
"Our goal is to really help them stay in their home for as long as possible," she said. "Everybody's individual circumstances are different, and it is a less expensive option for an individual to stay in their home than to have to go to nursing-facility placement."
At LifeSpan Resources in New Albany, another pilot site, executive director Keith Stormes said the Community Living model has proved to reduce costs and increase people's participation in their own care – all while keeping clients happy.
"To be able to assist them in staying in their own home, the response we get is pretty emotional at times, for most of our care managers," he said. "The clients tend to look on them as miracle workers, and it's awfully rewarding to have that kind of response."
The two-year pilot began in January, and the goal is to expand the Community Living Program statewide in the future.


text: ECONOMY WEEKLY: WEEK OF MARCH 1, 2010 For Immediate Release: March 5, 2010 Contact Info: Katie Grant Stephanie Lundberg (202) 225 - 3130 "Take the question of helping the unemployed in the middle of a deep slump. What Democrats believe is what textbook economics says: that when the economy is deeply depressed, extending unemployment benefits not only helps those in need, it also reduces unemployment. That's because the economy's problem right now is lack of sufficient demand, and cash-strapped unemployed workers are likely to spend their benefits. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office says that aid to the unemployed is one of the most effective forms of economic stimulus, as measured by jobs created per dollar of outlay." – Paul Krugman, New York Times, 3/5/10 Today, the Department of Labor released the unemployment report for February showing that the policies adopted by President Obama and the Democratic Congress continue to have the intended effect of slowing job losses and growing the economy. However, there is still more work to be done on the road to recovery, so Congress will continue efforts to spur economic growth and get Americans back to work. Economy Highlights: • A report from the International Council of Shopping Centers notes that consumer spending increased 3.7% in February – a positive indication given that consumer spending represents about 70% of the economy. "Despite intense snowstorms that shuttered malls and left consumers in parts of the East and Midwest homebound for days, sales at stores open at least a year rose 3.7 percent in February to their highest levels since November 2007.... February's results would have been even higher without the blizzard, which the group said dragged down sales by one percentage point." According to Thomson Reuters, "comparing this February to last, the industry reported a 4 percent increase in sales at stores open at least a year." [Washington Post, 3/5/2010; New York Times, 3/5/2010] • The Commerce Department reported that "manufacturing strength continued in January as factory orders rose a seasonally adjusted 1.7% to $378.4 billion," another indication that the manufacturing sector of our economy continues to recover. [Wall Street Journal, 3/5/2010] Recovery Highlights: • Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced that every state met the March 2nd deadline to obligate 100% of their highway Recovery Act funds, meaning "contracts can be bid, workers can be hired, equipment and supplies can be purchased and work can begin on construction projects that create jobs and drive economic growth." Recovery Act resources have been obligated to more than 12,000 highway projects nationwide - of which almost 7,800 are already underway. [Department of Transportation, 3/1/2010] • In its fifth in a series of reports since passage of the Recovery Act, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the Recovery Act is working to create jobs and grow the economy. One example, according to the report, details education jobs created and saved by the Recovery Act: "An estimated 63 percent of [Local Education Agencies (LEA)] plan to use more than 50 percent of their Recovery Act SFSF funds to retain jobs, while an estimated 25 percent and 19 percent of LEAs said they planned to use over half of their Recovery Act funds on job retention.... [T]he nationwide impact of Recovery Act education funds on job retention may be significant because K-12 public school systems employ about 6.2 million staff, based on Education's estimates, and make up about 4 percent of the nation's workforce." [GAO Report, Summary, Highlights, 3/3/2010]

I don't like mushrooms
...but I'm not going to let that stop me from enjoying them. I am in the process of learning to love mushrooms, and tonight's dinner was an excellent teaching tool in that regard. The recipe was simple enough that I only need to list ingredients: homemade pasta, morel mushrooms, fresh thyme, white wine, butter, salt and pepper. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The Good Wife Picture Preview: How Will It End?Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
In The Good Wife Season 5 Episode 15, Nelson Dubek will go after Alicia and she'll enlist Cary as her attorney to protect her interests.
Will the pressure let up for Will as Dubek goes after Alicia?
We do know that Will will continue defending client Jeffrey Grant, a case that began in The Good Wife Season 5 Episode 7 when Jeffrey was seemingly stopped for a DUI but was really being charged with murder.
Look for Will to find that the new prosecutor, Finn Polmar (guest star Matthew Goode), is a more formidable opponent than expected as he tries his case.
Flip through these episodic photos and remember: this installment will conclude with a MAJOR shocker...

We weren't sure at first if this was a Team America-inspired parody, but no, it's just Fox News. On an embed with U.S. Special Forces, Fox's Greg Palkot channels Kent Brockman as he describes "a new aerial approach to nab the Taliban." Too bad all the commandos appear to be doing in the clip is nabbing Afghans for the crime of wearing the wrong-colored turbans.
This segment shows Green Berets swooping in with helicopters to stop a "suspicious vehicle" in Zabul Province. Palkot gives us the play-by-play: "When a suspicious vehicle is spotted, a Blackhawk helicopter hovers in front and blocks it! The second lands behind and out comes a team of heavily armed Green Berets and Afghans!"
I mean, it's possible these guys do great work, and Fox caught 'em on a bad day. And it's possible that there was more to the targeting, but the SF guys wanted to keep it quiet. But if a Toyota Hiace is considered suspicious merely because it's full of Afghans, then we are in big trouble. This helicopter assault — which involves a total of five aircraft — finds "no fewer than two dozen folks filling this van, plus an assortment of items, but no bad guys or bad stuff."
No problem, on to the next "takedown": Another "suspicious vehicle, with those inside sporting black turbans, similar to what the Taliban wear." And then they stop and frisk some guys on motorcycles, because militants are sometimes known to use them to get away from the roadside bombs they just planted.
Here's the kicker: "On this day, in fact, no one is taken in," Palkot says. "Commanders say the method has been effective."
Um, effective at what? Winning the support of the residents of Zabul?
While it's fun to rip on Fox for this kind of reporting, there's a more serious question here. Gen. Stanley McChrystal's strategy in Afghanistan is being sold as "population centric": It's supposed to shift emphasis away from pointless raids and refocus on protecting population centers and promoting development.
But if the latest report from Julian Barnes of the Los Angeles Times is correct, there's also a parallel push underway to step up the number of special operations raids to kill or capture Taliban leadership and dismantle their infrastructure.
"The number of raids carried out by such units as the Army's Delta Force and Navy's SEAL Team Six in Afghanistan has more than quadrupled in recent months," Barnes writes. "The teams carried out 90 raids in November, U.S. officials said, compared with 20 in May. U.S. special operations forces primarily conduct missions in eastern and southern Afghanistan."
In theory, this shift could complement higher-profile conventional efforts to protect population centers to draw away support for the Taliban. But if done inappropriately, or clumsily, that effort has as much potential to backfire as large-scale conventional sweeps.

Hospital food service offers different health-care career
Published 2:48 pm, Friday, September 21, 2012
Most people would agree that good nutrition is a contributing factor to wellness. While those who work in food services at a hospital don't deliver direct patient health care, they are in a position to help a patient's healing.
While many hospitals handle food services in-house, a growing trend is outsourcing management of this department to another company, giving the hospital the ability to focus efforts entirely on the health-care needs of patients.
Food and nutrition services is managed by Aramark at St. Luke's Hospital. Aramark employs 175 people at St. Luke's including dietitians, chefs, sous chefs, patient-nutrition advocates and a wide range of food-service workers who serve more than 1,300 patient meals and more than 3,000 retail customers daily.
"From soups to desserts, our employees prep every dish that is served from our kitchen," said Wardley Birkett, RD, vice president of operations with Aramark Health Care, St. Luke's Episcopal Health System. "This may include chopping vegetables, measuring ingredients or making brownies. Once the patient contacts our call center to place an order from their room service menu, the order is printed in the kitchen and patient-tray line employees begin to assemble the tray. Trays leave the kitchen every seven minutes to ensure each patient receives the meal at the correct temperature," he said.
Memorial Hermann, a system comprised of nine acute-care and three specialty hospitals, has outsourced its food services to Sodexo for the past seven years. Sodexo employs 750 people who work solely for Memorial Hermann. Although these employees are paid by Sodexo, they work side-by-side with others who are employed by the hospital.
"Our employees feel very much a part of the Memorial Hermann team," said Jim Krysiak, system executive for food and nutrition services. "At the end of the day, it's not really important who signs your paycheck. It's about the work environment and the people you work with."
Some hospitals in Houston provide their own food services including The Methodist Hospital. Divided into patient and non-patient related services, the Food and Nutrition Department employs 300 full- and part-time employees including dietitians, three chefs for the large kitchen and bakery, call center associates, hosts and hostesses, transporters and food-service assistants (for patient care), and cooks, cashiers and stewards (for the non-patient services area which includes five retail food locations).
"Most of our food service positions require a high school diploma," said Will Hacker, director-district manager Food, Nutrition and Event Services at The Methodist Hospital. "(For) the culinary positions (we) also prefer a culinary associate degree or training. Professional management and dietitian positions require a college education and the registered dietitians are required to hold licensure with the state of Texas as well as achieve enough credits annually to maintain the ability to practice," he said.
At St. Luke's, Aramark employees work eight-, 10- or 12-hour shifts depending on the position. Staff at The Methodist Hospital work in shifts ranging from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. with varying weekends and nights. Sodexo has almost around-the-clock hours at some of the Memorial Hermann hospitals, while others offer more traditional breakfast-to-dinner hours.
Working in food services can be financially rewarding. "The pay for food-services employees is better in health care versus the private sector," Krysiak said.
"Additionally, the benefits are very good because they mirror those of hospital employees and there are many opportunities to work your way up to a leadership position."

Family Guy Season Four QuotesEric Hochberger at . Comments
After being anceled in 2003, Family Guy was luckily able to come back after strong DVD sales for a fourth season. With a lot riding on the season, Seth MacFarlane and company did not disappoint and are of course still on the air.
Season four was the longest in the show's history with the 27 originally airing and the straight-to-DVD release of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story later airing as part of the fourth season.
We've put together the largest collection of Family Guy quotes from the season. Here are just some of our favorites:
Peter: Everybody, I got bad news - we've been cancelled.
Lois: Oh, no. Peter, how can they do that?
Peter: Well, unfortunately, Lois, there's just no more room on the schedule. We just gotta accept the fact that Fox has to make room for terrific shows like: Dark Angel, Titus, Undeclared, Action, That 80's Show, Wonderfalls, Fastlane, Andy Richter Controls The Universe, Skin, Girls Club, Cracking Up, The Pits, Firefly, Get Real, Freaky Links, Wanda At Large, Costello, The Lone Gunmen, A Minute With Stan Hooper, Normal, Ohio, Pasadena, Harsh Realm, Keen Eddie, The Street, American Embassy, Cedric The Entertainer, The Tick, Louie, and Greg The Bunny.
Lois: Is there no hope?
Peter: Well, I suppose if ALL those shows go down the tubes we might have a shot | permalink
Peter: Okay, first of all, Bonnie, you've been pregnant for like six years, all right. Either have the baby or don't | permalink
Meg: Finally! Look Mom I've had it. I'm not babysitting anymore. It's Saturday night I could be out having a life.
Lois: Meg, if you don't wanna baby-sit anymore that's fine, but don't you stand there and lie to me.
Peter: OH-HO Meg, she torched your ass man! She torched your ass | permalink
Peter: Hey Mort, do these suppositories come in other flavors?
Mort: Peter, are you eating those?
Peter: No, I'm shoving 'em up my butt. Of course I'm eating 'em! | permalink
Lois: Peter did you take Stewie to a strip club? he smells like Sweat and fear.
Stewie: Ughh let me tell you Tuesday afternoon is not exactly their "A" squad, I actually saw bullet wounds. | permalink
Death: I'm going to a Celine Dion Concert. I'm not gonna kill her, I'm just gonna watch her die on her own. | permalink
Lois: I now understand that eating is not the way to solve my problems. You hear that, Meg?
Meg: For your information, Mom, I don't eat to solve my problems. I cut myself. Is that better?
Lois: Chris we all love your hat.
Chris: Thanks Mom! | permalink
Betty White: Welcome to Peterotica on tape. I'm Betty White reading "The Hot Chick Who Was Italian or Maybe Some Kind of Spanish" by Peter Griffin. Chapter one, Oh god, you should have seen this one hot chick. She was totally Italian...or maybe some kind of Spanish. | permalink
Stewie: Did you hear that Meg? Guys can marry other guys now. So this is awkward but I mean if they can do that, that is pretty much it for you, isn't it? I mean you as well pack it in. Game over. | permalink
Peter: Between you and me I hear Joe's got a little free time these days. I hear he hasn't touched Bonnie in months
Joe: Peter, you just whispered that to me. | permalink

electric hysteresis
- A property of certain dielectrics, in which electric polarization is retained after removal of the electric field. Such an effect can last up to several years, and it is the basis for electrets. Also called electric hysteresis, dielectric absorption, or dielectric hysteresis. In the case of a ferroelectric material, also called ferroelectric hysteresis.
- Internal friction occurring in a dielectric as a result of exposure to variable electric field. This friction may cause enough heat to cause failure of the dielectric.
- synonymelectrical hysteresis

Fruit yogurts
Yogurts, known from ancient times, are dairy products resulting from bacterial fermentation of milk. They are popular among all categories of the population from babies to senior citizens. Indeed, according to Wikipedia, yogurt is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It has additional nutritional benefits beyond those of milk. People who are moderately lactose-intolerant can consume yoghurt without ill effects, because much of the lactose in the milk precursor is converted to lactic acid by the bacterial culture.
Now let us look at the differences between two brands available nationwide at Walmart stores; Great Value Strawberry Banana low fat yogurt and Stonyfield Strawberry Banana whole milk yogurt.
Great Value yogurt Risk Diagram, DDRS ~ 65
Most of the health risk comes from 6 benign and 11 nutritional additives which contribute with 55 units. A single foreign additive, azo-dye Red 40 contributes 10 units by itself. I would like to remind you here that based on the DyeDiet definition, foreign additives are those of no use and potentially disruptive for human bio-chemistry, whereas benign are of some use. In this context, the DyeDiet Foreign Additive Risk Impact or "foreign impact"(DDFI) is a measure of how much health risk comes with foreign additives relative to nutrients. So Great Value yogurt DDFI is 10/33 = 0.30.
As in the case with the Walmart baked goods I cannot get rid of the question: Why degrade the overall nutritional value of a product by addition of a questionable (at the very least!) foreign chemical?? Who benefits? Not a consumer, for sure. Some variations of the Great Value Strawberry Banana yogurt comes with carmine which is a slightly better option than Red 40 but it may cause severe allergies in some people.
Carrageenan is another questionable additive. While it is a low risk benign polysaccharide additive, there are some related health concerns; enough so that it is NOT recommended in infant food. Fructose may help cancers to proliferate as was demonstrated in a recent study.
Stonyfield yogurt Risk Diagram, DDRS ~ 44
There are no artificial food colors and foreign additives added to the Stonyfield yogurts. Why? Because the manufacturer practices a quite different philosophy.
The low risk comes from 3 benign and 13 nutritional additives. They have used Organic Beets juice as color which is also a known anti-oxidant. This yogurt DDFI is 0/44 = 0.
Great Value vs Stonyfield yogurt comparison chart

10/33 = 0.3
|NOT really
(a) Recalculated from the original 4 OZ (113 g) serving size. b) Recalculated from the original price of $1.50 for 1.5 LB.
From the above data while Great Value yogurt is half the price of Stonyfield, it has a couple of potentially harmful additives even if eaten in moderation, especially, the Red 40. Stonyfield yogurt has a natural level of fat whereas carrageenan thickener added into low fat Great Value yogurt is used to compensate a loss in the texture.
The DyeDiet Risk Score Labels
I hope health risk labels like these would help:
In conclusion, you decide if higher health risks are worth going with the more economical low fat Great Value yogurt. The DyeDiet concept is to avoid any foreign additives, eat in moderation and exercise to burn extra fat. But the freedom of choice is always yours!
