Henry Hill, the mobster-turned-informant portrayed by Ray Liotta in the film Goodfellas, died Tuesday at age 69. Hill's colorful life — he lived in Cincinnati; Omaha; Butte, Mont.; Independence, Ky.; and Topanga, Calif., among other places — was documented in crime reporter Nicholas Pileggi's 1986 book Wiseguy and then in Martin Scorsese's film Goodfellas, which was based on Pileggi's book.
In 1986, Pileggi joined Fresh Air's Terry Gross for an in-depth conversation about Hill, who was a member of the Luchese organized-crime family before deciding to become an informant. His subsequent testimony led to dozens of convictions and forced Hill to enter the witness protection program.
Hill's criminal record while in witness protection led to his expulsion from the program in the early 1990s. In recent years, he lived openly in Topanga, Calif. with his fiancée Lisa Caserta.
Highlights From Pileggi's 1986 Interview:
On Henry Hill's stature in organized crime
"He was a middle-level hustler. He was one of the guys in an organized crime group. His job was to hustle money. He was what they call an earner. He was hyperactive. According to his mother, he never stopped. He would run through the house, slam doors. He took care of rabbits, he ran across the street and washed windows. If he ate, he was jumping up and down while he ate. ...
"When he wound up in criminal activities, he was working just as industriously. He was working on three, four, six, a dozen things at the same time. He would have a loan-shark operation going, he was doing booking, he would have a phony restaurant, he was running guns, he was planning hijackings, he was also divvying up the money in different situations, all at the same time. And flying up to Boston every couple of weeks to fix and bribe Boston College ballplayers in a point-shaving scam. He never stopped."
On how Henry got into the mob
"Henry just fell in love with wiseguys. He told me, 'I'd look out my window — and there was a mob hangout — and see these guys get out of their cars and they had these great big coats.' And that's what he talked about — these great big coats. And they'd show up there and they always had a lot of money and jewelry and diamonds. And they were shown such great deference in the neighborhood."
On Hill's relationship with his wife
"We all know couples where we wonder, 'Why does she stay with him and why does he stay with her?' We all know that the one of those people is not as good as the one we like. But we'll never know the answers to those things. One of the things that was interesting in Karen's case was that she found him thrilling for whatever reason. I'm sure there are a lot of other women who would have found him disgusting. But she, for whatever wiring she had, she found him thrilling. He turned her on. He was an exciting guy.
"She tried to explain it to me. She said, 'He could go places. He had money. He was an action guy. There I was, going out with little schmendricks. They were going to be accountants. If we were lucky, we'd go to Chinese food in the mall. With Henry, I would go to the Copa. And I would have a ringside table. And people always looked and me and thought, 'Who is she?'"
On how Henry dealt with his frequent prison sentences
"There are religious furloughs where you go out for religious training. It allows you to get out of the program and have contact with your family. ... Henry sees this and he says, 'Get me a religious guy.' So they got a phony rabbi to write the letter to the prison. The prison is very responsive to religious letters. All of a sudden, Henry is now going off on 'religious studies' on weekends.
"He got Jimmy Burke to pick him up, they'd cross Pennsylvania, go to Atlantic City, he'd belly up to the craps table and shoot craps until his ankles swolled. And that's what he would do for his whole religious weekend. Then get back in the car Sunday night and drive back to the prison. At the same time, his wife would fly down from New York and other wiseguys would come down — and their weekends in prison were spent in Atlantic City."
On the $5.8 million Lufthansa heist of 1978
"It was the largest successful cash robbery in American history. It was a cargo handler out at Lufthansa who owed a bookmaker who worked for Henry Hill about $80,000 from debts. This is a poor cargo handler who had a poor, junkie habit as a gambler. To get the wiseguys off his back, he knew about this money being transported to this country from Europe. And he told them about it. They went and held the place up and they got it.
"It was so much money that instead of it freeing the group — there were about a dozen men — when every man began asking for his share, they began disappearing. Or they would wind up dead. And the other guys weren't sure why they were dead. You don't know, because everybody's in so many other things. Henry knew. He said, 'I sensed it. I knew Jimmy. I knew what they were up to. And I knew when you asked for your money, you're dead.'
"About 10 people who were involved intimately with that robbery were all murdered. Henry was one of the last and one of the ones not to be murdered. And when he was arrested in the drug case, he realized that his days were over. Even if Henry didn't talk, they were going to kill him because he might have talked. And that's when he turned as a government witness."

There are various types of intestinal tract problems among pets, and often, pet owners get them confused. Each causes a pet to exhibit similar symptoms, but not all are alike. In learning the subtle differences, you can help understand which issue your pet is suffering from and get them the treatment they need.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a psychosomatic disease (mental illness that is characterized by physical symptoms) and is entirely self-inflicted by an over-abundance of anxiety.
Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome:
Treatment of IBS
The treatment of IBS focuses on identifying and addressing the anxiety or stressor. Inconsistent schedules, frequent moving, or weather changes can all contribute to anxiety, as can numerous other causes. Increasing fiber in the pet's diet tends to help IBS symptoms, as does adding an anti-diarrheal medication during flare-ups. In extreme cases, the veterinarian can prescribe anti-anxiety medication to keep a pet's stress level under control, but this is typically used as a last resort.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders affecting cats and dogs. IBD is characterized by chronic inflammation of the small and large intestines which results in a disruption of the digestive system's regular contractions. This disruption produces irregular contractions that cause mucus and toxins to collect in the intestines and build a partial obstruction that traps gas and feces. This obstruction results in bloating, distention, and constipation.
Most causes of IBD are unknown but could be related to food allergies, bacterial or viral infection, or parasites.
Symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease:
Treatment for inflammatory bowel disease
Treatment for inflammatory bowel disease is a tough balancing act, because pets respond drastically different and causes of IBD usually cannot be determined. Prescription medication along with dietary restriction is usually the best method of treatment, though some pet owners are against medicating their pets. Dietary management comprises of eliminating allergens from the diet and adding non-fermentable fiber with the intention of normalizing a pet's bowel movements. The veterinarian also recommends limiting tap water intake and opting for bottled water, because tap water can contain lead, copper, mercury, and aluminum, which can irritate a sensitive stomach and cause inflammation. It is important to note, that it is difficult to obtain a full recovery with diet alone.
If you opt for medication for your pet, the veterinarian will determine which is best based on your pet's species. Some medications are better for dogs, while others work best for cats.
Colitis is a condition similar to inflammatory bowel disease and causes rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, and abdominal spasms. It is more common in dogs but reported instances in cats have been increasing. Because finding the origin of the problem is difficult, treatment is typically symptomatic.
How is colitis treated?

Suspects in Ergenekon network long sought in homicide case to be questioned.
ISTANBUL, March 18 (Compass Direct News) — In simultaneous operations in nine different provinces of Turkey, authorities yesterday arrested 20 people suspected of playing a role in the murder of three Christians in Malatya in 2007, according to local news reports.
Zekeriya Oz, chief prosecutor overseeing the investigation into a clandestine network known as Ergenekon allegedly aimed at destabilizing the government, ordered the arrests based on information that linked the suspects to both the network and to the Malatya murders, Turkish press reported after Istanbul Chief of Police Chief Huseyin Capkin announced the sweep at a press conference yesterday.
"This was an operation related to the Malatya Zirve publishing house murders," Capkin said, according to online news agency Malatya Guncel. "They were just arrested. This is connected to the Zirve publishing house. That's the framework."
Those apprehended include Ruhi Abat, a Muslim theology professor from Malatya Inonu University, Mehmet Ulger, a retired commander of the Malatya Gendarmerie in service at the time of the murders, and other members of the military. Oz will question the suspects in Istanbul, according to reports.
Police also raided the guesthouse of the Izmir Gendarmerie, seizing computers and documents. News sources listed Malatya, Siirt, Mugla, Mersin and Izmir as some of the cities in which authorities conducted raids and arrests.
A plaintiff attorney in the Malatya murder case, Orhan Kemal Cengiz, told Compass that the names on the list of those arrested were suspects he and his colleagues have been trying to convince the Malatya prosecutor to pursue since the court received a tip in May 2008.
"They are all the usual suspects," Cengiz said. "All their names were mentioned in the first informant letter. Unfortunately, despite all our efforts, we couldn't find anyone to investigate these allegations."
The letter was the first of many informant letters the Malatya court has received since it started hearing the case on Nov. 22, 2007. Penned by someone who identified himself by the pseudonym "Ali Arslan" but unsigned, the letter claimed that Ulger incited Emre Gunaydin, one of the suspects, to carry out the murders and that he communicated with Gunaydin through Abat and two gendarmerie officers, reported Turkish English daily Today's Zaman.
Cengiz said that, though it was the duty of the Malatya prosecutor to pursue leads in the informant letter, the prosecutor deferred the investigation to the military court, which in turn refused to investigate, claiming that the name on the letter was fake and the letter was not signed.
"It was like a joke," Cengiz said.
On April 18, 2007, two Turkish Christians, Necati Aydin and Ugur Yuksel, and German Christian Tilmann Geske, were bound, tortured and then murdered at the office of Zirve Publishing Co., a Christian publishing house in Malatya. The suspects, Salih Guler, Cuma Ozdemir, Hamit Ceker, and Abuzer Yildirim, were arrested while trying to escape the scene of the crime, as was alleged ringleader Gunaydin.
From the beginning of the court hearings, plaintiff lawyers have brought evidence to the court showing the five young suspects were connected to a wider plot to kill the three Christians as well as other key Christian leaders across Turkey. Known as the Cage Plan, the plot is believed to be part of the alleged Ergenekon "deep state" operation to destabilize the government.
The Cage Plan centers on a compact disc found in 2009 in the house of a retired naval officer. The plan, to be carried out by 41 naval officers, termed as "operations" the Malatya killings, the 2006 assassination of Catholic priest Andrea Santoro and the 2007 slaying of Hrant Dink, Armenian editor-in-chief of the weekly Agos.
Cengiz told Compass that new evidence in the Ergenekon case might have convinced Oz to pursue those detained yesterday, and he called the move "a very big step" in shedding light on the Malatya case. He and colleague Erdal Dogan said their efforts — especially a request they sent to Oz on Jan. 18, 2010 asking him to investigate the allegations that Ergenekon members were behind the Malatya murders — surely helped to move the process along.
"I believe our efforts had a very big influence on this," Cengiz said. "We submitted a petition and requested this from Oz last year. He is acting with the Malatya prosecutor on this."
At the request of the Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office, the Istanbul Police Department prepared a report last year revealing links between the Malatya murders and Ergenekon, according to Today's Zaman. According to the report, Sevgi Erenerol, spokesperson for a bogus ultranationalist association known as the Turkish Orthodox Church, described foreign missionary activity as "spying" and "provoking."
"A piece of evidence in the report was a conference on missionary activity given by Sevgi Erenerol €¦ at the General Staff's Strategic Research and Study Center," reported Today's Zaman.
Erenerol was arrested in connection with Ergenekon in 2008. Her suspected links with those thought to have masterminded the Zirve murders may have influenced yesterday's arrests, Today's Zaman reported.
She is also believed to be one of the key people behind false accusations against two members of Turkey's Protestant Church, Hakan Tastan and Turan Topal, who were arrested in October 2006 for insulting Turkishness and Islam because they openly shared their faith.
After four years of legal battle, a judge finally acquitted the two Christians of insulting Turkey and its people by spreading Christianity, but not without slapping them with a hefty fine for a spurious charge. The two men are in the process of appealing the fine.
The Turkish Constitution grants all citizens the right to speak about their faith.
Plaintiff attorneys in the Malatya murders case said they believe yesterday's arrests bring them closer to their requests that the Malatya murders case file be joined to that of the Ergenekon trial.
"From now on, we can predict it is very possible that our case will be sent to Istanbul soon and that these two cases will be merged," said Cengiz.
The next Malatya hearing is scheduled for April 29.
AP reports that a Turkish court has ordered five active duty Turkish officers and two civilians jailed in a probe into the murders.

PHOENIX (AP) - Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday vetoed a Republican bill that set off a national debate over gay rights, religion and discrimination and subjected Arizona to blistering criticism from major corporations and political leaders from both parties.
Loud cheers erupted outside the Capitol building immediately after Brewer made her announcement.
"My agenda is to sign into law legislation that advances Arizona," Brewer said at a news conference. "I call them like I seem them despite the tears or the boos from the crowd. After weighing all the arguments, I have vetoed Senate Bill 1062 moments ago."
The governor said she gave the legislation careful deliberation in talking to her lawyers, citizens and lawmakers on both sides of the debate.
But Brewer said the bill "could divide Arizona in ways we could not even imagine and no one would ever want." The bill was broadly worded and could result in unintended negative consequences, she added.
The bill backed by Republicans in the Legislature was designed to give added protection from lawsuits to people who assert their religious beliefs in refusing service to gays. But opponents called it an open attack on gays that invited discrimination.
The bill thrust Arizona into the national spotlight last week after both chambers of the state legislature approved it. As the days passed, more and more groups, politicians and average citizens weighed in against Senate Bill 1062. Many took to social media to criticize the bill, calling it an attack on gay and lesbian rights.
Prominent Phoenix business groups said it would be another black eye for the state that saw a national backlash over its 2010 immigration-crackdown law, SB1070, and warned that businesses looking to expand into the state may not do so if bill became law.
Companies such as Apple Inc. and American Airlines and politicians including GOP Sen. John McCain and former Republican presidential nominee were among those who urged Brewer to veto the legislation.
Brewer was under intense pressure to veto the bill, including from three Republicans who had voted for the bill last week. They said in a letter to Brewer that while the intent of their vote "was to create a shield for all citizens' religious liberties, the bill has been mischaracterized by its opponents as a sword for religious intolerance."
SB 1062 allows people to claim their religious beliefs as a defense against claims of discrimination. Backers cite a New Mexico Supreme Court decision that allowed a gay couple to sue a photographer who refused to document their wedding, even though the law that allowed that suit doesn't exist in Arizona.
Republican Sen. Steve Yarbrough called his proposal a First Amendment issue during a Senate debate.
"This bill is not about allowing discrimination," Yarbrough said. "This bill is about preventing discrimination against people who are clearly living out their faith."
Democrats said it was a veiled attempt to legally discriminate against gay people and could allow people to break nearly any law and cite religious freedom as a defense.
"The heart of this bill would allow for discrimination versus gays and lesbians," said Sen. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix. "You can't argue the fact that bill will invite discrimination. That's the point of this bill. It is."
The bill is similar to a proposal last year brought by Yarbrough but vetoed by Brewer, a Republican. That legislation also would have allowed people or religious groups to sue if they believed they might be subject to a government regulation that infringed on their religious rights. Yarbrough stripped that provision from the bill in the hopes Brewer will embrace the new version.
Civil-liberties and secular groups countered that Yarbrough and the Center for Arizona Policy, a powerful social conservative group that backs anti-abortion and conservative Christian legislation in the state and is opposed to gay marriage, had sought to minimize concerns that last year's bill had far-reaching and hidden implications.
Yarbrough called those worries "unrealistic and unsupported hypotheticals" and said criminal laws will continue to be prosecuted by the courts.
The Center for Arizona Policy argues the law is needed to protect against increasingly activist federal courts and simply clarifies existing state law. "We see a growing hostility toward religion," said Josh Kredit, legal counsel for the group.
Similar religious-protection legislation has been introduced in Ohio, Mississippi, Idaho, South Dakota, Tennessee and Oklahoma, but Arizona's plan is the only one that has been passed by a state legislature. The efforts are stalled in Idaho, Ohio and Kansas.
The push in Arizona comes as an increasing number of conservative states grapple with ways to counter the growing legality of gay marriage. Arizona's voters approved a ban on gay marriage as a state constitutional amendment in 2008. It is one of 29 states with such constitutional prohibitions, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Federal judges have recently struck down those bans in Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia, but those decisions are under appeal.

On a Tuesday, it's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm David Greene.
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
We're tracking an amazing story out of Cleveland. Three women who went missing as teenagers about a decade ago, in separate cases, have been found alive together. They were not far from where they disappeared. Two of had had been feared dead, until yesterday when police received this 911 call.
AMANDA BERRY: Help me, I'm Amanda Berry.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: You need police, fire or ambulance?
BERRY: I need police.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: OK. And what's going on there?
BERRY: I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for ten years. And I'm here. I'm free now.
INSKEEP: Family members and friends of the three women are ecstatic. And three brothers have been arrested.
Bill Rice reports from member station WCPN in Cleveland.
BILL RICE, BYLINE: Amanda Berry disappeared in April 2003, a day shy of her 17th birthday. She was last seen leaving her job at Burger King not far from her home on Cleveland's west side. It's unclear if she's been a prisoner in the modest two-story house on Seymour Avenue, just across the river from downtown all these years, or if this was her first chance to escape. What is clear is that yesterday she frantically summoned a neighbor through a locked window.
That neighbor was Charles Ramsey.
CHARLES RAMSEY: I heard her screaming. I'm eating my McDonald's. I come outside. I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of her house. So I go on the porch and she says help me get out. I've been in here a long time.
RICE: Ramsey says he kicked in the bottom of the door.
RAMSEY: And she comes out with a little girl and says call 911.
RICE: When police arrived, they entered the house and found Gina DeJesus, now 23, who disappeared in 2004 on her way home from school, and Michelle Knight, who went missing in 2002. She's now 30 years old.
When Berry and DeJesus vanished, police worked their cases, while family and friends posted fliers and held numerous vigils. Knight was 20 when she disappeared, she didn't draw the same attention from police.
Authorities have arrested three brothers - all in their 50's - including the owner of the house, Ariel Castro. His uncle, Julio Castro, says his nephew is a former school bus driver. Berry also identifies Ariel Castro in her 911 call. Neighbors say Castro would park his red pickup truck behind his house, lock the gate and enter though a back door. The house was often dark, with shades blocking the windows.
Rescuer Charles Ramsey says he never saw Castro do anything suspicious.
RAMSEY: He just comes out to his backyard, plays with the dogs, tinkers with his cars and with his motorcycles, goes back in the house So he's just somebody who you look and then look away, 'cause he's not doing nothing but the average stuff.
RICE: The three women spent the night at Cleveland's MetroHealth Medical Center, where doctors describe their condition as fair and say they're speaking to authorities.
RICE: Last night, residents of this working-class neighborhood flocked to the hospital to celebrate.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: We love Gina. We love Gina.
RICE: Back in the neighborhood where the women were found, neighbors like Ashley Allen were out on the street. Allen says finding the women alive in her neighborhood is a huge surprise.
ASHLEY ALLEN: Everybody is around this neighborhood and nobody suspected anything from the house, or anywhere around here.
RICE: Deputy Police Chief Edward Tomba says investigators exhausted every lead they could find in searching for Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus. He says it's a dramatic day for police too.
EDWARD TOMBA: It was just amazing to see the emotion on these seasoned law enforcement officers when they went in there and saw Amanda and Gina and Michelle.
RICE: Berry says DeJesus's families have for years worked together to keep the cases in the public eye. Michelle Knight's grandmother says her family thought Knight had left of her own volition.
Details of the women's stories will become more evident in the days and weeks to come. For now, many here are simply overjoyed that the horrible ordeal they lived through is over.

"realpath_cache_size" is used by PHP to cache the real file system paths of filenames referenced instead of looking them up each time. Every time you perform any of the various file functions or include/require a file and use a relative path, PHP has to look up where that file really exists. PHP caches those values so it doesn't have to search the current working directory and include_path for the file you are working on.
If your website uses lots of relative path files, think about increasing this value. What value is required can be better estimated after monitoring by how fast the cache fills using realpath_cache_size() after restarting. Its contents can be viewed using realpath_cache_get().

The Federal Reserve Bank (The Fed) recently released their 2019 Survey of Consumer Expectations Housing Survey. The survey reported that 65% of Americans believe homeownership is a good financial investment. Since 2014, the percentage has increased by over nine percent.The Fed's survey also showed that when the results are broken down by age, education, income, or region of the country, more than 55% of Americans in each category see homeownership as a good investment.
This coincides with a recent Gallup survey of Americans which revealed that real estate was their number one choice for the best long-term investment when compared to stocks, savings accounts or gold.
Bottom Line
Americans' belief in residential real estate as a good financial investment continues to grow as the housing market returns to normalcy.

Whoo Hoo! It's Day 2 of National Library Week! Yes, the Food Librarian is bringin' out the Librarian this week. Thanks for your sweet comments about your library...and I always seem to remind someone to return an overdue book! :)
In the baking group, Tuesdays with Dorie, we are making our way through the Dorie Greenspan book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. It is fun and yummy. For the last couple holiday seasons, we've had an optional gift exchange. This year, my "Secret Santa" was Laurie, the founder of TWD! Yes, all you TWD bakers can be jealous! Serious, how cool is that?
And Laurie gave me the best gift ever! An out-of-print, 1929 cookbook Any One Can Bake compiled by the Educational Department of the Royal Baking Powder Company, New York. As you can imagine, everything has Royal Baking Powder in it! :) The recipes are simple and provide a glimpse of the times. Shortening is in a lot of the dishes...it was cheaper than butter and who knew anything about trans-fats in 1929!
Thank you so much Laurie of Slush and the Founder of TWD for my awesome gift. I love it!
Since the lady in these 1929 photos doesn't have a Kitchen Aid mixer, I figure I shouldn't use one either. So, I pulled out my big whisk and went to town.
This involves beating egg yolks, adding sugar, and pouring in hot milk. Lemon juice and zest add a light flavor. Egg whites are whipped up and folded into the batter. Finally, a bit of flour and baking powder are added.
And that brings us to today's library thing...Book Sales! Libraries often get donated books from the community (thank you donors!) and weed books in our collection to make room for new titles. Most libraries have used book sales where the public can snap up some bargains. The money goes back to support the library's collection and programs. Ask about used book sales at your local library! You never know what you can find...perhaps a 1929 cookbook!
To celebrate National Library Week, I'm having five days of giveaway!
To celebrate Day 2 of National Library Week, I'm giving away the following to one lucky winner:
50 Adorable Loaf Pans
Aren't these 4" x 2" paper loaf pans awesome!? You can make bite-size carrot, zucchini and a host of other breads (I just made persimmon bread and I'll post that later) - perfect for the holidays or a lovely hostess gift. Win a pack of 50 of these oven safe, paper mini-loaf containers (purchased at Surfas in Los Angeles). I gave these away last year too...they are just too darn cute.
To enter the Day 2 Giveaway, simply leave a comment below (one entry per person) and I'll pick the winner from a hat (aka Random). Deadline for all contests: Monday, April 19, 2010 at midnight PDT. If your comment isn't linked to a blog where I can find you, please leave your email. Shipping to U.S. addresses only. Librarian Action Figure not included.
Also, don't forget to enter the Day 1 Giveaway: Cookbook and Chef Post-its. Come on, if you are a lurker on the blog, this is your chance to come out of the woodwork! ;)
Come back tomorrow for Day 3 of National Library Week! - mary the food librarian
Click here for the printable recipe
Hot Milk Sponge Cake
Adapted from Any one can bake, Royal Baking Powder Co., 1929 (page 55 with additional instructions on pages 46-47)
4 eggs, separated and room temp
1 c sugar
6 T hot milk (1/4 cup plus 2 T)
1 T lemon juice
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1 c all-purpose flour
1/4 t salt
1 1/2 t baking powder (of course, this book published by the Royal Baking Powder company suggests their own brand!)
These are my instructions for using a whisk. You can use your whisk attachment on the KitchenAid as well...but you won't feel like a 1929 home economist doing that! :)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1. Separate eggs (it is easier to separate the eggs when cold, but bring ingredients to room temp before using).
2. Beat egg yolks with whisk until thick and light colored. Add half the sugar, beat together until light and fluffy.
3. Slowly whisk in the hot milk, then the remainder of the sugar.
4. Add the lemon and lemon zest.
5. In a separate bowl, quickly whip the egg whites until light, soft peaks.
6. Fold HALF the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
7. Carefully, but quickly, fold in the sifted flour mixture.
8. Fold in the remaining egg whites.
9. Pour into ungreased tube pan.
10. Bake for 45 minutes at 350. Remove from oven and cool upside down (like an angel food cake).
11. I served mine with sweetened strawberries.

They course through the cells which then, at that point, convert the daylight into power. The amount of power changed over is reliant upon the cell limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answering your questions on therapy treatment
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
If you are new to massage therapy, we understand that you might have some questions. We are confident that we have the answers to your inquiries.
Below are the answers to the questions that are most commonly asked about massage therapy treatment. Should you have additional questions please feel free to contact us.
How will massage therapy benefit me?
With professional massage therapy you can experience relief from muscular tension and pain, receive increased range of motion and a reduction of mental stress levels. Massage is a natural healing process that can deliver both physical and emotional benefits.
Treatments are specifically tailored to meet your needs.
How often will I need treatments?
Your body can let you know. Some people require only a few sessions to treat a specific problem, while others become regular users of massage therapy as both proactive and preventative healthcare. Massage can help maintain good muscle tone, flexibility, and help correct muscular injuries.
How old does a person need to be to receive massage therapy?
Any age. Massage therapy treatments are effective from birth until palliative care stages.
Which regions of my body get massaged?
The therapist will ask you what you want to get out of the session. You will also be asked to describe any chronic problems that you are experiencing. This will determine the appropriate regions of your body that need attention. A typical full-body massage involves your back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, feet, and hands.
Will I experience muscle soreness following a massage therapy treatment?
Most people report feel very relaxed, and often experience significant relief from aches, pains and stress after a massage session. However some people, especially those who require deep-tissue massage, experience mild muscle soreness which may last a day or two. Once the soreness is gone, they often notice heightened energy levels and an increased range of motion.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with a stranger touching me.
It is not uncommon for first-time clients to be apprehensive with the personal nature of massage therapy. Most clients lose this apprehension within the first few minutes of treatment. Massage therapists are trained professionals who respect your feelings and go out of their way to allow you to feel comfortable.
Do I have to take off all of my clothes?
One of the keys to the success of a your massage therapy session is your ability to relax and feel comfortable. Therefore, the decision is yours; remove only the articles of clothing that you are comfortable with removing. Traditional full-body massage treatments work best administered directly, without the barrier of clothing on the areas massaged. During a session you will be fully covered with a table sheet/blanket, only the area of your body that is being worked on is uncovered. Before and after the session, you will undress and dress in complete privacy.
Will my extended healthcare plan cover the costs of massage therapy treatments?
Yes. Most extended healthcare plans include massage therapy and some even have on-line billing. Some plans ask you to first receive a physician's referral. Feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you determine your plan's coverage.
Do you offer massage gift certificates?
Yes I do! A therapeutic massage is a great way to show someone how much you care. For details please visit my gift certificate page.

Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small strip of fluoride toothpaste, unless the child is under the age of 3. If a child is younger than age 3, parents should clean their child's teeth with water and a soft-bristled toothbrush. After age 3, parents should supervise brushing. Use no more than a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and make sure children do not swallow excess toothpaste.
When you brush your teeth, move the brush in small circular motions to reach food particles that may be under your gum line. Hold the toothbrush at an angle and brush slowly and carefully, covering all areas between teeth and the surface of each tooth. It will take you several minutes to thoroughly brush your teeth. Brush up on the lower teeth, down on the upper teeth and the outside, inside and chewing surface of all of your front and back teeth. Brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth before you rinse.
Brush your teeth four times daily to avoid the accumulation of food particles and plaque:
- In the morning after breakfast
- After lunch or right after school
- After dinner
- At bedtime
As soon as the bristles start to wear down or fray, replace your toothbrush with a new one. Do not swallow any toothpaste; rinse your mouth thoroughly with water after you finish brushing. It is important to carefully floss and brush daily for optimal oral hygiene.
For areas between the teeth that a toothbrush can't reach, dental floss is used to remove food particles and plaque. Dental floss is a thin thread of waxed nylon that is used to reach below the gum line and clean between teeth. It is very important to floss between your teeth every day.
Pull a small length of floss from the dispenser. Wrap the ends of the floss tightly around your middle fingers. Guide the floss between all teeth to the gum line, pulling out any food particles or plaque. Unwrap clean floss from around your fingers as you go, so that you have used the floss from beginning to end when you finish. Floss behind all of your back teeth.
Floss at night to make sure your teeth are squeaky clean before you go to bed. When you first begin flossing, your gums may bleed a little. If the bleeding does not go away after the first few times, let a staff member know at your next appointment.

For some reason, various unholy alliances of the words "graduation" and "congratulations" keep popping up:
Oh. Wait. Actually, that's almost correct. I wonder if someone forgot the "L."
To this I say: [rude noise].
Excuse me. [sound of head hitting desk repeatedly] This may be a while.
In the meantime, enjoy your cake with the bottle of urine/beer on it.
(Either way, someone's getting pissed.) (Because in Britain "pissed" = "drunk." See? I'm even funny in different languages.*)

She makes the best peanut butter sandwiches, ever.
my brother and cousins presented him with 90 bottles of beer.
You should have seen the huge smile!
and maybe even better, for Grandma.
I knew that this group of blocks would be perfect.
My Grandma wasn't a Farmer's Wife, but she was a farmer's daughter!
Most of the blocks are paper pieced -- and my quilting helpers did ALL of the tearing the paper off the backs for me -- how wonderful!
because a simple square design of 9 x 10 blocks seemed too plain.
and this design was born!
I free motion quilted this myself,
using a fairly small meandering type pattern throughout the solid snow fabric.
I love how it makes the blocks pop!
The batting is Warm and White, and the back is a collection of left over pieces.

Why We Cannot Print/Borrow/Spend Our Way to Prosperity
Ballooning government deficit spending and debt has a negative effect on private GDP, money supply, money velocity and wages.
NEW VIDEO: A DELUSIONAL & DYSFUNCTIONAL STATE (29 minutes, 25 slides)
Things are falling apart--that is obvious. But why are they falling apart? The reasons are complex and global. Our economy and society have structural problems that cannot be solved by adding debt to debt. We are becoming poorer, not just from financial over-reach, but from fundamental forces that are not easy to identify or understand. We will cover the five core reasons why things are falling apart:
1. Debt and financialization
2. Crony capitalism and the elimination of accountability
3. Diminishing returns
4. Centralization
5. Technological, financial and demographic changes in our economy
Complex systems weakened by diminishing returns collapse under their own weight and are replaced by systems that are simpler, faster and affordable. If we cling to the old ways, our system will disintegrate. If we want sustainable prosperity rather than collapse, we must embrace a new model that is Decentralized, Adaptive, Transparent and Accountable (DATA).
We are not powerless. Not accepting responsibility and being powerless are two sides of the same coin: once we accept responsibility, we become powerful.

Fatal - Replace functions with equivalents which succeed or die
use Fatal qw(open close);
open(my $fh, "<", $filename); # No need to check errors!
use File::Copy qw(move);
use Fatal qw(move);
move($file1, $file2); # No need to check errors!
sub juggle { . . . }
Fatal has been obsoleted by the new autodie pragma. Please use autodie in preference to Fatal
. autodie supports lexical scoping, throws real exception objects, and provides much nicer error messages.
The use of :void
with Fatal is discouraged.
provides a way to conveniently replace functions which normally return a false value when they fail with equivalents which raise exceptions if they are not successful. This lets you use these functions without having to test their return values explicitly on each call. Exceptions can be caught using eval{}
. See perlfunc and perlvar for details.
The do-or-die equivalents are set up simply by calling Fatal's import
routine, passing it the names of the functions to be replaced. You may wrap both user-defined functions and overridable CORE operators (except exec
, system
, print
, or any other built-in that cannot be expressed via prototypes) in this way.
If the symbol :void
appears in the import list, then functions named later in that import list raise an exception only when these are called in void context--that is, when their return values are ignored. For example
use Fatal qw/:void open close/;
# properly checked, so no exception raised on error
if (not open(my $fh, '<', '/bogotic') {
warn "Can't open /bogotic: $!";
# not checked, so error raises an exception
close FH;
The use of :void
is discouraged, as it can result in exceptions not being thrown if you accidentally call a method without void context. Use autodie instead if you need to be able to disable autodying/Fatal behaviour for a small block of code.
You've called Fatal
with an argument that doesn't look like a subroutine name, nor a switch that this version of Fatal understands.
You've asked Fatal
to try and replace a subroutine which does not exist, or has not yet been defined.
You've asked Fatal
to replace a subroutine, but it's not a Perl built-in, and Fatal
couldn't find it as a regular subroutine. It either doesn't exist or has not yet been defined.
You've tried to use Fatal
on a Perl built-in that can't be overridden, such as print
or system
, which means that Fatal
can't help you, although some other modules might. See the "SEE ALSO" section of this documentation.
You've found a bug in Fatal
. Please report it using the perlbug
clobbers the context in which a function is called and always makes it a scalar context, except when the :void
tag is used. This problem does not exist in autodie.
"Used only once" warnings can be generated when autodie
or Fatal
is used with package filehandles (eg, FILE
). It's strongly recommended you use scalar filehandles instead.
Original module by Lionel Cons (CERN).
Prototype updates by Ilya Zakharevich <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
autodie support, bugfixes, extended diagnostics, system
support, and major overhauling by Paul Fenwick <email@example.com>
This module is free software, you may distribute it under the same terms as Perl itself.
autodie for a nicer way to use lexical Fatal.
IPC::System::Simple for a similar idea for calls to system()
and backticks.

Tips From Our Experts By Decoration Technique
Embroidery is the art of embellishing a piece of apparel with a needle and thread or yarn creating stunning visual representations of various types of art. This is achieved by converting logos in a digitizing software and using various stitch patterns, angles, density and stitch types to create depth, movement and detail. Thread can be made from many materials. The most commonly used threads are polyester and rayon. There are also options such as metallic, cotton, nylon, silk and even Nomex thread for fire resistance. Embroidery has a very high-perceived value and is popular for use on most apparel, bags, hats, luggage, blankets and more!
An imprinting method in which the image is transferred to the fabric. Ink is squeegeed through a stenciled screen stretched over a frame and then cured in a dryer.
A graphic, name and or number applied to a textile with a heat press. Great for quantities of any size, sports name and numbering, fashion, performance wear, print on demand programs and on-site decorating events.
Direct to garment (DTG) is the art of printing a graphic directly onto a piece of apparel using digital ink jet technology. A DTG Printer is similar to a large ink jet printer that uses specialized inks and garment pre-treatments that allow the ink to adhere and stay vibrant. This decoration method is ideal for art that is designed in full color with fades, shadows, gradients, high detail and photo realistic elements. DTG is primarily used on cotton fabrics, however recent advancements in technology have made printing on cotton/poly blends and 100% polyester possible.
Pad printing uses a soft silicone pad to transfer an image taken from a plate etched with a reversed logo, similar to a rubber stamp. Images can be very small and detailed and can be up to 5½ inches in diameter. Pad printers are capable of printing up to six colors, however most industry printers use one to two colors at most when printing on apparel. Pad printing is a popular trend for tagless label printing. The prints are soft, durable and capable of high and low volume production. Pad printing is great for sling bags, totes and other items that are difficult to decorate, as well as styles that are heat sensitive.

Shot Angles: Broadside
The broadside shot angle is the preferred shot angle for both firearm and bow hunters for larger game animals, such as elk, deer, and bear.
- Firearm: The broadside position offers several excellent shots for a firearm hunter. The best target is the shoulder and chest area. A bullet of the correct weight that is fired from a firearm adequate for the game will break the shoulder bone and enter the lungs or heart.
- Bow: The broadside angle offers the best shot for the largest big game animals, such as elk, deer, and bear. For most big game, the aiming spot is straight up from the back side of the front leg, one-third of the way up from the bottom of the chest. An arrow will penetrate the ribs but not the shoulder bone; wait until the near leg is forward, and aim behind the shoulder.

What are the advantages to Home Standby Generators?
An average home uses more than a hundred electrical appliances and devices to provide convenience, comfort and security. It is, therefore, essential that a backup home generator is installed to prepare for a power outage.
An automatic home standby generator has major advantages over a manual portable generator. The automatic start, permanent fixture, increase in power, cleaner fuel, low running costs and all-weather operation. Standby power systems start automatically within seconds after electricity goes out and ensures a continuous electrical supply.
A Transfer Switch immediately senses when power is interrupted and transfers power to the generator. It also senses when power is restored and transfers the load back to the utility source and signals the generator to shut down. The automatic standby generator is installed outdoors and linked directly to the home's permanent fuel supply.
What is the difference between a home standby generator and a home battery system?
The prime difference is that a battery is meant to store power and a generator creates power. In a power outage, a generator can continuously produce power; a battery can only distribute what has been stored.
Can a battery provide the same backup power support to my home as a generator?
The simple answer is no. Both products do help supply electricity that homeowners can use for any electrical device in their home—from air conditioning to microwaves. Home standby generators, when properly installed and wired to the home's circuitry, can provide adequate wattage to the home to run all selected circuits simultaneously, with the output they require. Home appliances draw different amounts of power when they operate—a microwave may require 1000 watts of power, and a refrigerator may require 500 to 750 watts to operate. Generators steadily produce their power, fully supporting all circuits they are wired to.
The return on investment, however, makes power supplied by a generator less expensive over the life of the product based on how much output it provides. Home batteries cannot supply the full wattage of the power they may hold all at once. For example, a battery that may be charged with up to 10 kWh of energy, in order to protect the longevity of the battery, cannot dispense its power at more than a 2 kilowatts-per-hour rate. This means that only certain appliances would be able to draw power at any given time from the battery. In a power outage, the battery could support only limited items in a home at one time (e.g., just the refrigerator, but not the furnace).

We have frequent power outages because of storms and inclement weather as well as the nation's aging electrical grid. What's the right backup power solution for me?
The most reliable source of power for extended or unpredictable power outages is a home standby generator. The generator, which in most cases is connected directly to a home's natural gas line, has a constant supply of fuel and can operate through extended outages, keeping homes safe, lit and powered. For people concerned with a loss of natural gas supply during a storm, generators can be fueled by a dedicated LP tank as well. With this continuous fuel source, generators are much better able to face the unpredictability of dangerous, storm-prompted or lengthy outages rather than a home battery, which relies on an external power source to recharge it after only a few hours of use.

What size Generator Do I Need for my Home or Business?
By determining your backup power needs, you can size your generator to fit your home or business. Decide what items are important to you in a power outage. Depending on where you live, having a backup generator can make the difference between burst pipes and shivering through a winter power outage or staying warm and protected while you wait for electricity to be restored. Several considerations come into play when thinking about the size, or wattage, of generator that the typical person needs to have at home.
Use this simple tool from Generac to find what size generator best fits your needs:

What are the most common reasons why homeowners invest in home backup generators?
Heating and air conditioning are top concerns, along with running water and hot water.
All of these items are high-load appliances and require a high capacity to start. These actions consume significant power and could quickly drain a battery. There are a number of ways homeowners can prepare for a power outage.

How would any product help me live "off grid"?
Homeowners who wish to operate the appliances and features of their home without being connected to their community's standard power grid explore a number of options to provide constant energy to their home. Often these options still require a fuel source. In the case of certain battery backup options, the fuel source is stored solar energy. By going "off grid" a home only powered by a battery power source using solar fuel must rely on the unpredictable coverage and collection of sunlight to recharge it—impractical in most parts of the country. Home standby generators fuel is often available in the homes area in the form of natural gas or propane. A more reliable resource—natural gas—is abundant, relatively inexpensive and cleaner burning than many other fuel types. Propane fuel can be delivered and refilled as their owner desires, unlike sunlight. For those homeowners who wish to disconnect from the power grid in their area, the power that supplies their home must be sourced to a power-supplying unit and safely designed to transfer to their electrical system, a process that requires a professional electrician or generator/battery installer. For anyone who is interested in grid independence, a generator is a valuable component of their off-grid process. Generac has engineered the EcoGen home backup generator as the first automatic unit warranted for off-grid use when used in an alternative energy system.

Can I use a home standby generator to go off grid and cut the cord from my electric utility company?
Home standby generators are designed for backup power in the event of a power outage. Using a generator to power a home full-time is likely impractical from a fuel-consumption perspective, maintenance requirements, etc. However, some standby generators, like the Generac EcoGen, are designed to work in conjunction with alternative-energy-powered homes (solar, wind, etc.) that may be disconnected from the grid.
Is my ability to have a home standby generator or a home battery limited by the region I live in?
No. A generator is equally effective in all regions and climates. Some generators are even made with protective shells and anchoring systems for homes in high-wind or hurricane-prone areas.
Like a generator, a home battery powered by solar panels can be installed in any region; however, it is less effective in areas with inconsistent sunlight or on homes with sunlight filtered by shade.
Will battery technology be available for generators?
While batteries will have a place in home energy systems, storage battery technology is not advanced enough to be a cost-effective addition to a generator used as a backup power source.
How does the cost of battery backup compare to the cost of home standby generator backup?
Both products require installation and proper consultation with electricians in order to ensure your home's electrical circuitry is properly handled. Generators, beginning at smaller wattages like 7kw, could be installed for as little as $1,000 to $2,500. Prices start at $1,899 for the Generac PowerPact 7kw generator.
The new home battery is priced at approximately $3,000 for the battery. Installation prices are undetermined, but may reflect standard hourly par for electricians, as the generator does/ and the battery will require installation of an AC/DC power inverter, typically costing $2,000 or more, to convert its power output for use in the home. Batteries may also need to be replaced after a few years, more frequently if they go through frequent charging/discharging cycles.
The return on investment, however, makes power supplied by a generator less expensive over the life of the product based on how much output it provides. For example, to provide the same 16 kilowatts of continuous power as a Generac 16,000-Watt Air Cooled Automatic Standby Generator with 200-Amp SE Rated Transfer Switch retailing for around $3,700, a homeowner would need eight stacked Tesla batteries at a cost of $45,000 for a nine-year lease.
Does a standby generator require an AC/DC power inverter like a battery storage product?
No, the generator produces AC power, which can connect directly to a home's electrical distribution panel.
How much power output can a generator produce?
The most popular Generac generator model produces 22kW, which is commonly installed to power the entire home, including all the most common appliances in a home, such as high-load central air conditioners, electric heaters, kitchen appliances, etc.
How much power output can the home battery produce?
Certain battery systems can produce about 2kW on average and 3.3 kW peak.
What is the different in availability and support or backup home battery and a generator?
Currently, the whole-house battery is a fledging product with no full-scale distribution network or availability. Home standby generators by Generac, however, are supported by certified dealers and trained installers such as For-Tech Electric, as well as Generac's 1-800-GENERAC support network.
What are the components of a typical installation?
An automatic standby generating system typically has three basic elements: a generator, a transfer switch and a service-entrance breaker.
1. Generator – Produces electricity for essential circuits, such as heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, security and lighting. Your backup needs, simple or more extensive, determine the size and output of the unit.
2. Transfer Switch – Immediately senses when power is interrupted and transfers power generation responsibility to the generator. Senses when power is restored and transfers the load back to the utility source and signals the generator to cool off and shut down.
3. Service Entrance Breaker – Provides protection to your transfer switch, internal breakers and circuits and generator due to electrical strikes and power surges. See below for the step by step process of a Generator Installation:
How Do I Maintain My Generator?
A common concern for homeowners is how to maintain their standby generator once it is installed. Maintaining a generator is similar to maintaining a car and maintenance is essential for supreme performance and long life. Just like a car, you will have an owner's manual for your generator unit with very specific directions and maintenance. For-Tech Electric offers a comprehensive maintenance agreement to ensure proper service is performed in a timely manner. Our Generec factory trained technicians will come out to change the oil, check the battery and connections, change the air or oil filer as needed, as well as other routine tests. Let For-Tech Electric ensure your peace of mind with our service agreement.
