Good product that works inestinal regulating traffic and keeping blood sugar in check, being a great prebiotic. Tip: take it 10 minutes before eating diluted in water, yogurt or Kefir. Thanks from Spain.

I not only use this in my gluten free bread and cake products, I also use this to thicken stews and soups. It is usually interchangable with cornstarch. If you want twice the thickening power, use tapioca starch. I do find this very nice to make cream puffs and eclairs, instead of wheat flour. The reason is, you do not have to pull out doughy mass in the middle of the puff (what you have to do with wheat flour puffs), as it all bakes up nice all the way through with a nice hollow in the center for filling. For wheat eaters, if you use some with your wheat flour, substitute some wheat flour with the starch, it will greatly lighten up your cakes and breads. For those who use gluten free flours, sift in with your rice flour and other starches as this makes it easier to measure accurately and mix better.
Great product!

I use this for my favorite gluten free bread recipe. It browns better than other starches and works well in coating mixes for gluten free chicken nuggets and things like that.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Maurice Jones-Drew's holdout appears far from over.
His agent, Adisa Bakari, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Jacksonville Jaguars running back is upset with owner Shad Khan's recent public comments about his client's 27-day holdout.
"Maurice wants to play for an organization that wants him and for an owner who respects him and values what he brings to a team -- on the field, in the locker room and in the community," Bakari said.
ESPN reported that Jones-Drew is open to being traded.
When asked Tuesday whether he would trade Jones-Drew, Khan said he is "not going to get into all the theses and hypotheses." Khan added that Jones-Drew is "a great player, and we would love for him to be back."
Last week, however, Khan said MJD's absence "doesn't even move the needle" in terms of stress. Khan reiterated his stance Tuesday by saying, "This is not a team about one person."
His message to Jones-Drew?
"Train's leaving the station. Run, get on it," Khan said.
Bakari made it clear that those statements don't sit well with Jacksonville's biggest star.
"Obviously, he's not happy that what started as a very cordial and private conversation is now public and contentious," Bakari said.
Now, with both sides seemingly digging their heels in as deeply as possibly, it is unclear when or if Jones-Drew will show up in Jacksonville. The Jaguars open the season Sept. 9 at Minnesota.
Jones-Drew's holdout is fairly simple. He wants a new deal after leading the NFL with 1,606 yards rushing last season. He has two years remaining on a five-year, front-loaded contract worth $31 million. He is scheduled to make $4.45 million this season and $4.95 million in 2013.
Khan and general manager Gene Smith insist they have no plans to negotiate a new deal with MJD, not wanting to set a precedent of paying players with two years remaining on lucrative deals that included large signing bonuses.
Jones-Drew skipped the team's entire off-season workout program, including a mandatory, three-day minicamp last month. If new coach Mike Mularkey is fining Jones-Drew the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement -- $20,000 for each day of minicamp and $30,000 for each day since training camp opened -- the total is up to $870,000.
Mularkey said Tuesday he has had no recent contact with Jones-Drew or his agent.
Coming off a career year, Jones-Drew wants to be one of the NFL's highest-paid backs. His average salary per year ranks behind Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, Tennessee's Chris Johnson, Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy, Houston's Arian Foster, St. Louis' Steven Jackson, Carolina's DeAngelo Williams and Seattle's Marshawn Lynch.
Both sides have valid arguments.
Jones-Drew signed his deal in 2009, before rushing for at least 1,300 yards in three consecutive seasons. Not only has he seemingly outperformed his contract, MJD is the face of the franchise and probably the only player on the roster known outside small-market Jacksonville.
The Jaguars, meanwhile, paid him based on the expectation that he would flourish as a starter after spending the first three years of his career splitting carries with Fred Taylor. The team isn't enamoured with paying a running back into his 30s, especially one who takes as many pounding hits as Jones-Drew does. Plus, the Jaguars have missed the playoffs in each of his three seasons as the starter.
Jones-Drew is entering his seventh season. He has 6,854 yards rushing, 2,473 yards receiving and 74 total touchdowns. He carried a career-high 343 times last season, averaging 4.7 yards even though defences knew he was the focal point of Jacksonville's offence.

And just as I got to the point of describing how clearly strained they were in making the show scream WE ARE A FRESH AND INTERESTING TAKE ON SHERLOCK HOLMES, my dad replied "Like that Sherlock Holmes movie set in mid-1970s New York with a black actor as Holmes?"
There was a long pause and he told me that it wasn't a real movie. I was upset, because I would watch the shit out of that movie.
I'd watch the shit out of a black Sherlock Holmes!

Narrow your search
With iOS 6 out the door, Apple gives its set-top box a minor software update that adds new features, including one aimed at multi-user households.
Apple's iPad has always been a one-user device, but that might not last forever. A reply to an Apple developer hints that the company's cooking up a solution for multiple users using the same tablet.
The facial and gesture recognition technology is perfectly suited for shared Android devices. Ice Cream Sandwich was a good start, but now we need more.
Want your kids or other people to use your tablet without full access, in the same way you can restrict them on a Mac or PC? Amazon beats other tablets by being the first to offer this in the new Kindle Fires.
Used to signing out of one Google account, then signing into another to check e-mail or calendar events from multiple accounts? Google is beginning to roll out a new option that makes that process easier.
Silicon Valley investors back the security startup, which aims to safeguard user accounts with a multi-signature wallet.
If you have more than one user account on your Mac, then you may run into some hurdles when attempting to move files between them.
URI Security Exploit: Multi-user issues
TechCrunch speculates support for multiple users is limited to Android tablets because Nokia owns a patent for that technology. But the Finnish handset maker says it actually abandoned that patent application several years ago.
Word has it that the Web giant is extending its multi-user accounts with a "Supervised User" feature that could help parents control what their children see on the Internet.

Islanders at Oilers, G44/07-08
This is Denis Potvin with his brother Jean. Jean was a puck mover who once had a plus minus of -40 or some such many years ago.
Some of the greatest games ever played were between the Islanders and Oilers, at least the greatest ones I've seen. Bryan Trottier, Denis Potvin, Mike Bossy and a strong support group of players like John Tonelli, Bob Nystrom and Stefan Persson were top drawer for a decade.
The game tonight sees two teams in transition, one farther along and both making moves that can be seen as "unusual" over the last 12 months.
Both teams could use either Potvin.

The International OCD Foundation is the foremost resource about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related illnesses. It is an international organization that exists to raise awareness among policy makers and the general public about OCD, educate the mental health community about the latest treatments and research, connect people suffering from OCD with treatment providers, and advance research for more effective treatments. Based in Boston, the IOCDF has affiliates in Minnesota, San Francisco, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Boston, and Puerto Rico. The IOCDF was founded as the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation in 1986 by a dozen OCD patients at Yale. Twenty-two years later, the organization has an annual $1 million annual operating budget, has granted $2.5 million for treatment research, and is a resource for tens of thousands of people.
As many as 4 million Americans have OCD, including 1 million children and teenagers.Most are not promptly or properly diagnosed. Although OCD is rarely completely cured, many patients find meaningful and long-term symptom relief with cognitive behavior therapy and medication. OCD is a debilitating brain disorder that causes problems in information processing. The brain gets stuck on a particular thought or urge and just can't let go. OCD involves having both obsessions and compulsions. Common obsessions are: contamination fears of germs, imagining having harmed oneself or others, imagining losing control or having aggressive urges, intrusive sexual thoughts or urges, excessive religious or moral doubt, forbidden thoughts, a need to have things "just so," and a need to tell, ask, or confess. Common compulsions are: washing, repeating, checking, touching, and counting. OCD symptoms can occur in people of all ages. Statistical analyses indicate that a major genetic component is involved in the occurrence of OCD, though the exact gene has not yet been identified.

Jay Leno: "Homeland Security told people at the game that if they saw anything not right, give them a call. They got 50 million calls as soon as Christina Aguilera started singing the national anthem."
David Letterman: "At President Obama's Super Bowl party, they had cheeseburgers and deep-dish pizza. So much for Michelle Obama's healthy eating initiative."
Jay Leno: "Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak told ABC News that he would like to step down from power immediately, but if he did, it could cause chaos in his country. Well, you would hate to see that happen."

Ambulances speeding to hospitals at the University of Utah will now face a commuter's dream: green lights all the way — every time.
The Utah Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that it has completed installing "Opticom" devices at 35 intersections on major routes through Salt Lake City to those hospitals, which now allow ambulances and other emergency vehicles to switch the lights to green.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Emitters allow drivers to "transmit a pulse of [infrared] light to a device on the traffic signal mast arm," said Peter Jager, a UDOT traffic signal engineer. It triggers the signals to "cycle to yellow and red to provide a green light for the approaching ambulance."
"It decreases the time for us to clear an intersection, getting our patient to a hospital safely," said Chris Delamare, of Gold Cross ambulance. Jager added that it "improves safety both for the ambulance and the traveling public."
Troy Madsen, an emergency-room doctor at University Hospital, says it will save lives.
"Minutes and seconds can save lives," he said, especially in cases of trauma, stroke and heart attack.
"I personally can think of several cases I have had over the past few years where I feel if we had gotten that patient to the emergency department even just a minute or two earlier, we might have been able to do something to save that person's life," he said at a news conference announcing completion of the project.
Jager said Opticom devices have been used for years at other major intersections around the Salt Lake Valley and are often installed as traffic signals are upgraded. But the latest project has newly installed them on all intersections on ambulance routes between freeways and hospitals at the University of Utah.
That includes along Foothill Boulevard between Interstate 80 and the university, and on a route from Interstate 15 along 600 South to 700 East to 100 South and the university.
Jager said the equipment costs about $5,000 per intersection, and 35 intersections on routes to the university now have the system.

Meet Millie Gordon once and you'll never forget her.
She's 80-something (adamantly not specifying) and considers herself to have so many kids, she loses count after 500.
They're not all her actual children, of course. But she still considers all the inmates at The Western Youth Institution – a youth prison – "her boys".
"I got into this job because after being married 29 years and having four children, my husband left me," Millie says. "I was very depressed. I was doing music in church, but everything had lost its meaning. It got so bad that one night, I dropped to my knees and asked God to put meaning back into my life.
"That night, that same night, I dreamed of young boys reaching out through prison bars. When I woke up the next morning I remembered two years before a man from Western Piedmont Community College had called me and said he had a grant and he'd like for me to teach a part-time music class. I had turned him down. I'd forgotten about it until I had this dream. So I called him, immediately, at the college.
"As soon as I said my name, he said, 'Are you ready to start that music program at the college?'. And I said, 'Lamar, you mean in two years you haven't found anyone?'. And he said, 'I guess we've been waiting for you.'."
That was in 1983.
Thirty years later, Millie still works every Monday-Friday behind bars. She works with convicted murderers, rapists and armed robbers, all between the ages of 13 and 22.
Look in her eyes when she's talking about these criminals, and there's no doubt she feels love.
"I know so many of these guys are starved for recognition and affection," she says. "And I feel blessed to have been called – because it is a calling – to minister to these fellas."
She calls it a form of ministry, but technically Millie teaches beginning and advanced classes on how to read music, play instruments and sing. Inmates must sign up. Misbehave and she'll kick them out.
Ask them directly, they'll tell you they have nothing but respect for "Miss Gordon".
"I found my talent through Miss Gordon," says 20-year-old Decorius Daughtry, a self-admitted gang member who's serving time for weapons, drugs and armed robbery. "She tells me I'm special. She made me realize I can sing. Since meeting her, I've done a lot of talking. I help a lot of the younger guys who come in. Because of her, I let everyone know there's a future for you. A lot of people look down on us, man, but we can make it in life. We just got to put our mind to it."
Other staff members will tell you Millie is the heart of the prison. She's the only one with her own marked parking space (not even the warden has one), she has started a volunteer program in the community to get seniors to help teach art to inmates and, as something she's most proud of, she started a prison choir. Inmates wear church robes. She makes them practice once a week.
"What do you say in response to the critics who say, 'these kids are thugs'?," we asked Millie.
She didn't skip a beat. "These kids are human beings."
"Have you ever been scared?"
"Nope. Never."
"Never once?"
"Never once. They would never harm me." She then put her hand up to her heart and tapped it. "I know that here."
It's fascinating to witness the mutual respect. Decorius says when he gets out in two years, he's going to get a job and join a church... all in honor of her.
"I really do love that lady," he says. "She helped me out -- I feel like she saved my life sometimes. I feel like she really saved me. I really feel that way."Click the attached "web extra" to hear talk about some specific examples of inmates she says have saved her.
The education department at Western Youth Institution recently sent a letter to North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory's Office. He's proposing to shut this prison down in his 2014 budget.
If that happens, inmates would be dispersed to other facilities.
This letter, sent to us by the education department, highlights what those staff member say are extremely helpful and successful classes, like Millie Gordon's, only offered to incarcerated youth at its prison.
We could learn if the youth facility will close by June of next year.

NEW BOSTON, Iowa (WGEM) -- The Etch-A-Sketch may be just a children's toy, but there's nothing childish about what Cody Leggett can do.
"I Etch-A-Sketch, and they're like you're a grown man what are you doing playing with a children's toy," Leggett said.
But one look at some of Leggett's work and its clear these pictures aren't child's play.
"I never really thought of myself as an artist. This was just something that I like to do," Leggett said.
If it wasn't for a work accident that nearly took off Leggett's finger a couple of months ago, he may have never thought twice about doodling with an Etch-A-Sketch.
"Normally I was working 50 to 60 hours a week, a lot of 12 to 16 hour days on top of that. I didn't even think I had this skill anymore."
And all of a sudden, Leggett found himself with a lot of extra time on his hands.
"I just happened to be sitting around one day and picked up the old children's toy I had and one thing led to another," Leggett said.
After a couple of months of practice, Leggett started getting pretty good.
He started looking for more complicated pictures on the Internet, like Keokuk's Lock and Dam, Chief Keokuk, and the Iowa Hawkeye logo.
"A lot of the people I've talked to say I've never seen anything like that. I've never come across anything like this," Leggett said.
The reaction is great but there's an even bigger perk with his hobby.
"I can actually do this with my son. It's not like I'm really taking away so all in all its really been a great benefit," Leggett said.
As for accidentally shaking the toy and erasing the image, Leggett says he has his own way of making it permanent.
By drilling a hole in the back of the toy and draining out the powder inside, he can make a clean image that can't be shake away.

Can God be defined?
I find that after debating with many people, many don't have a definition of what "God" is. (For even when you go to a church many people have different definitions ; and not many have a "shared definition".) And I find that many people only list Gods, but (and correct me if I am wrong) that listing gods is just like listing various variations of Meats or dogs, you still haven't told me what a "dog" or a "meat" is! Or for that matter : What "God" is!
Also on the same matter, I am genially interested, what is the definition of "existence"?
Because these two issues are vital to the debate : "Does God exist?"
And I hope this question will be taken in good spirit, and that no offence is taken.
Strongly recommend you join my debate on this ( Can we ever design an experiment which can determine whether God exist or not?) on this link : http://www.ted.com/conversations/17451/can_we_ever_design_an_experime.html
Many thanks. (SORRY TO SPAM IT TO EVERYBODY ON THIS DEBATE, JUST THOUGHT THAT YOU COULD ALL PUT SOME VALUABLE INPUT INTO THIS DISCUSSION!!!)
Closing Statement from Bernard White
God mostly only have subjective definitions. (And very few have a "shared (objective) definition" of what "God" is!) And usually reflects the moral code of that individual! (And the society's values).
Yet God does hold many mystical properties, and is sometimes defined as emotions such as "Love", which is dependent on the human mind and relies in all of us.
While others choose to define God as being more of a "Personal God", which is external (independent) to the body, A God of intervention.
And other choose to define God as a more of a Impersonal God, one of pure logic and maths. (If I can say that!)
However I will not comment much more, due to the fact that I have a feeling I would not do a good job of it!
This is my closing comment. :D
Hope you liked it!

Grace Greene 10+Mar 22 2013: God has already been defined. God is a character described in the Bible.
If God were human, he would be called a sociopath and kept away from society. But he is God, so he is worshiped by the sheeple who are afraid to refuse to do so.
God is a cruel sadist who loves to hear screams of torment - as demonstrated by his willingness to throw unbelievers in hell. As humankind has been around a long time, and as Christianity is in great decline, the number of people writhing and screaming in tormented pain is growing at a rapid clip. As God is omniscient, "He" is well aware of the suffering and screams, and as more and more are going to hell, the volume is increasing. God is also omnipotent, so "He" has the power to close down Hell, relieve the suffering, silence the screams, and blot out the memory of the torment of "His" victims. But "He" chooses not to. "He" appears to enjoy watching and listening to suffering. He is also a misogynist. His hatred of women is especially pronounced.
Any description of God must include this documented description. As many who are afraid of Hell worship the tyrant and are ashamed of doing so, they pretend that God is something other than the monster that the Bible describes. They do this in order to block out their conscience that tells them how wrong this is - all in the name of survival - so they can live with themselves. This is where disagreement about God comes into play - even in a single church. But if you speak of God (as opposed to Thor or Mithra or Pele, etc.), "His" own book describes "Him" well enough.
Good thing "He" doesn't exist.
Consciousness exists though. Consciousness is not God, though it is much more than a brain in a body.
Bernard White 20+Mar 23 2013: " God is a character described in the Bible".
Then what are the Greek Gods? (+ Egyptian, Norse, Roman Ancient Gods ect...)
Are they are just "pretenders" (/ not Gods) due to them not being the "character described in the Bible"?
Or do you have a different definition for them? Please tell me if I have misunderstood your position. :)
Because going by the Christian definition you have posed, the Egyptian Gods seem very different. (I might be wrong on this!) While not all Gods do promise an after life of punishment if they go against them. I mean there are many religions where they believe only in a positive after life, but it is interesting to note that you view this is a requirement. So if I was to pose a hypothetical scenario, of a being of extreme power who was the original creator and sent everybody to heaven afterwards, I am assuming by your definition then this wouldn't be a "God"? (Is this right?)
Would be interested to see your response.
While I feel that you are putting "God" (from your definition of an egocentric (/narcissistic), psychopathic being which has extreme power :p) in a slightly bad light. Even though I would be inclined to agree with you.
However it is interested how some can view the same "God" you are describing as a saviour and light bringer, and view that "only God would know what is good" (So in that sense a prejudice against "non-believers" may be good), and that maybe "Gods utility is the only one which matters!". Just a few thoughts.
With your last point, it would help me if you could define "Consciousness" and "existence" and "real". Because I don't think it is logical to assume that just because you are self- aware then you real (/exist). (You could be a computer program and ticked into believing you are self-aware, and yet not really be "real", in the sense most people use the word.) I could be very wrong on this though!
While also how do you know :
1. That the external world is real? (/exist?)
2. That other people are real? (/exist?)

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My man friend and I don't do flowers or swirls or birds or any of that jazz. I wanted a simple Thank You card to send to our guest after our engagement party that didn't make me want to barf. And this was PERFECT! It's simple and easy and it's us. Nothing over the top. Just the right amount of us. We're over the top enough! Glad I made the purchase!"
"The card turned out beautiful! I changed a save the date card into my retirement invitation and it turned out so beautiful! The watercolour I chose was green and gray in colour and was just what I wanted!! I used greengrass font with green and black printing,some of it was bolded for added detail. The background on the back was full of the watercoloured images. The card was on the shimmery paper and I really liked that also.! I have shown it to a few people and they all think it is stunning!!! I can't wait to send them out!!! I like the product so much I went back on and ordered Thank You cards."
"All of my friends were impressed with the beauty and quality of this invitation. Comments included," I've never seen such a beautiful invitation." Another comment was. "The quality of the invitation is exceptional!" I am very impressed with Wedding Paper Divas and am planning to order the Thank You cards as well. The quality of this product far surpassed the quality of invitation stores. Thank you for helping to make my daughter's Bridal Shower classy and unique."
"I love the personalized notes from Wedding Paper Divas. This is the fourth one I've ordered. You can get a small quantity to make sure you like the product. The quality is excellent. Personalized thank-you notes are a requirement for anyone of good manners."
"Love it, but thought it was a folded thank you note. Most all "Thank You" notes are folded. I didn't see on your site if it was or wasn't. Disappointed, but it will keep the note short. They are for my daughter and she said it was OK to have it on one page."

10 reasons tobacco is hot
The stocks have soared over the past year, and they stand to benefit from low interest rates and more conservative investors.
There is no stopping this sector. The top stock in the group? Analysts from UBS say menthol leader Lorillard is the top pick, and they're raising their price target on the stock to $124. Lorillard is trading at about $115 today.
Lorillard has a strong growth trajectory, and is expanding its Newport line to include non-menthol cigarettes such as its recently introduced Newport Red. In the first quarter of this year, Lorillard's sales rose nearly 13%, profit rose 7% and the company raised its dividend 16%.
Post continues after this video about how the government hates smoking but loves the tax money that comes from cigarettes:
The UBS analysts are bullish on tobacco overall. Here are the 10 reasons why two of the analysts, Nik Modi and Benjamin Schmid, say tobacco is on fire:
1. Low interest rates. Strong dividends in the sector are attractive to investors frustrated by low interest rates. Lorillard shares are trading at a 4.5% dividend yield, and Altria shares are at a 5.5% yield.
2. A more risk-averse market. Investors are pulling back from embracing risk, and now they want stocks with strong fundamentals and a growing cash distribution. Tobacco stocks fit that bill.
3. Tobacco stocks similar to staples. Investors love consumer staple stocks because of their dividend potential, growth and ability to withstand economic downturns, the analysts write. Tobacco stocks are even more visible and defensible than many staples.
4.No currency or commodity mishaps. There is no potential for currency troubles with Altria, Reynolds American and Lorillard because 100% of their profits come from the United States, the analysts write. Other consumer companies do a large chunk of business overseas, and their profits could drop as the dollar strengthens.
The tobacco industry isn't that affected by the rapid rise in commodity costs, the analysts write. The biggest expense is tobacco costs, which aren't that sensitive to rising prices for oil or other materials.
5. Low capital allocation risk. There are no big merger or acquisition deals in the making, and the big tobacco companies are favoring share buybacks and dividends. "We believe investors can have a sense of comfort with how shareholder money is being used," the analysts write.
6. Pricing power. There's plenty of room for prices to grow in the U.S., the analysts write. Cigarette prices in the United Kingdom are 83% higher than in the U.S., and smoking rates seem to have bottomed out there.
7. Lower lawsuit risk. The industry is long past the "peak litigation era" of 2000 through 2005, the analysts write. Several Supreme Court rulings have made most class-action industry lawsuits irrelevant.
8.Barriers to entry. It will be tough for a competitor to get a new tobacco brand to market now, since the government is tightly restricting advertising. And the approval process for a new product launch is very rigorous, the analysts add. Finally, it's expensive to do business under the watchful eyes of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. New costs are forcing smaller cigarette makers to raise prices or leave the business.
9. Less focus on taxes. Oh sure, some states are trying to raise taxes on cigarettes in a grab for more revenue. But New Jersey and Rhode Island are actually considering lowering cigarette taxes. Maybe some states are figuring out that raising taxes isn't all that effective, given that people can find other ways to get cheaper smokes.
10. Leverage at retail. Cigarette makers dangle plenty of incentive payments in front of retailers, and that gives the makers a good deal of leverage. In fact, a new program from Marlboro asks retailers to take a hit on their Marlboro margins, or risk losing special reward payments from the manufacturer. Pretty brilliant.

Sunday Post: Delicious…Healthy Snacks for Kids' Backpacks
Jake at Time after Time has a Sunday Post Challenge and every week he provides a theme…this week's theme is DELICIOUS.
Fresh fruits and crisp veggies make some of the best snacks your child can eat. It's important to make every meal as nutritious as possible and snacks are a great way for kids to get important vitamins, minerals and fiber into their diet.
When my children were young, one of their favorite places to be was in the kitchen, helping me prepare meals and snacks. Even though there might have been some additional cleanup…it was definitely worth it…for me and for them.
Here are two simple healthy snack recipes from Show Me How! Build Your Child's Self-Esteem Through Reading, Crafting and Cooking.
Overnight Cookies (Gluten-Free)
You will need: 2 egg whites, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 cup ground almonds, 1 cup raisins, 1 large bowl, 1 mixer and 1 greased cookie sheet.
1. Beat egg whites in bowl till stiff peaks form. Your little ones will LOVE watching how the runny egg whites turn to mountains of cream.
2. Add 1/4 sugar and fold in gently.
3. Add ground almonds and raisins and fold in gently.
4. Drop by tablespoonful onto the greased cookie sheet…I use a canola oil spray. If you want a smaller cookie, use a teaspoon.
5. Place the cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven and bake for 5 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies in at least 15 minutes…or overnight if you wish. If you have a hot oven, you might want to check the cooling cookies at 15 minutes and remove them then…otherwise the raisins will taste burned.
6. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen, more or less, depending on the size cookie you make.
Traveling Trail Mix (Nut-Free)
You will need: 2 cups Corn Chex, 2 cups Wheat Chex, 2 cups Rice Chex, 2 cups mini-pretzels, 1 cup raisins, 2 tsp Braggs Aminos or low-sodium soy sauce and a 13x9x2 inch microwave-safe baking dish.
1. Melt margarine, mix with Braggs Aminos or soy sauce and pour into baking dish.
2. Add the cereals and pretzels and mix thoroughly to coat.
3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
4. Stir and continue to heat in microwave, one minute at a time, until evenly toasted.
5. Add raisins and mix.
6. Store in an airtight container.

Sunday Post: Recipe for Self-Esteem
A recipe, according to the dictionary, is a list of ingredients and instructions for making something, especially a food dish.
Jake at Time after Time has a Sunday Post Challenge and every week he provides a theme…this week's theme is RECIPE.
I love soup! Do you? Soup can be hearty or light, warming or cooling…soups are so easy to make and, when you make them yourself, you can use healthy nutritious ingredients and leave out the preservatives, high sodium levels and artificial colors that are rampant in most canned or packaged soups you buy at the store.
Here is a recipe for Cock-a-Leekie Soup…absolutely delicious…and very easy to make, even your kids can help!
You will need: 1 large pot, 1 lb boneless chicken breasts cubed, 2 slices bacon, 1 large leek sliced (about 2 cups), 1 cup sliced fresh carrots, 2 cups cubed potatoes, 1 container low sodium vegetable broth (32 oz), 1 cup basmati rice, 2 Tbs single malt scotch (optional), ½ cup diced prunes, 1 Tb dried basil, 8 cups water.
1. Saute bacon in pot…add chicken pieces and sauté a few minutes.
2. Add sliced leeks, carrots and potatoes and stir well.
3. Add vegetable broth, prunes, water and basil and stir well.
4. Bring to a boil, add rice and scotch…lower heat, cover and simmer for 1½ hours.
5. Serve with crusty bread and a simple tossed salad.
6. Store in covered container in fridge.
7. Makes about 12 cups of soup…you can easily make less by cutting the ingredients in half.
So what is the recipe for helping a child develop a high self-esteem?
1. Help your child master tasks and skills.
2. Encourage your child to value his own strengths and qualities.
3. Help your child to feel appreciated and loved.
4. Encourage your child to express his feelings.
5. Help your child to acknowledge and cope with his fears.
6. Encourage your child to accept himself and his body.
Kids love to help in the kitchen…not only does that time with you build self-esteem, but it also helps children develop reading readiness skills (or better literacy skills if they are older). They also learn about good nutrition, and many picky eaters will try new foods that they have helped make.
If you would like more information about helping children develop a positive self-image or need some quick and easy ideas and self-esteem building activities, please pick up a copy of my book. During the month of March, we are offering free shipping on my website (an additional $5 off the price of the book for participants in the PPP Reading Challenge) or you can purchase the book on Amazon.

Mitch Holmberg scored two goals and collected two assists, and captain Reid Gow was credited with three assists of his own, as the Spokane Chiefs topped the Prince George Cougars 5-2 at the Spokane Arena on Saturday night.
With 8 minutes and 35 seconds left to play in the game, Spokane and Prince George were tied at 2 and both teams had 23 shots. Not a minute later, Holmberg and Gow found Jason Fram in front of the net to break the tie. Three minutes later, Holmberg scored his second goal of the night, this one after Gow found the right wing skating down the right side of the ice shorthanded. Holmberg wrapped around the goal and whipped the shot off goaltender Ty Edmonds' back. Liam Stewart added his fifth goal of the season, an empty-netter near the final buzzer.
Mike Aviani scored Spokane's first goal on a power play after an assist from Holmberg. Aviani and Holmberg now have 20 total power play goals combined, which is more than eight other WHL teams combined.
Holmberg, who leads the WHL in scoring, now has 25 goals and 30 assists on the season for 55 total points. Gow, who assisted on Spokane's final three, tie-breaking goals now has 28 assists to cement him second on the team.
Prince George was led by former Spokane Chiefs player Todd Fiddler. Fiddler, who was traded to Moose Jaw before the season begin, and again just recently to Prince George, had one goal and one assist for the Cougars.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't mind losing ranged weapons, but Deadly Throw (using our melee weps) makes a far better baseline ability than it does a talent, especially on the same tier with future PvP nerf bait Nerve Strike and PvE or PvP great Combat Readiness.
We lost out on one of our 80-85 baseline abilities with CR being on the same cooldown as CoS, essentially making it useless. Blizz can make up for it by giving us a baseline ranged interrupt at level 90. OP? Hardly. It requires CP's to use Deadly Throw. You can use it once, then you have a few seconds to get over there and build more CP's before you can use it again. Or they can just put it on a 20 second CD or something, and make the CP's the length of the spell lockout. .5 secs per CP, for a max spell lockout of 2.5 secs. Seems fair to me.
By the way, will Combat Readiness still be sharing a CD with CoS, or will they drop that nonsense since it is a talent instead of a baseline?

I didn't even see the wrong in that word until the word filter started wrongfully filtering words. x3
Exactly! They don't even realize...
A 3.8 is great! :3
I recall you saying you wanted to learn to play the drums a while back, that all sounds really exciting!
And I do hope you get your bunny. XD
Thanks, Lyn. <3 I hope so too!
I covered strawberries in chocolate today. That's one of my favorite things to do, and I think that they came out pretty good. :) I then went to the mall of shopping and bought absolutely nothing. The lady at Payless did not like that... >_>
Anyway, I'll move on to more important things. I'm very excited for the upcoming Batman movie! Has anyone else made plans to see it? I hope that it comes out good because I've been a fan of the previous films.
Oh yes! My cousin and I have already made plans to watch it the very first day.
I'd rather see Spiderman tbh. I mean, I don't particularly like how they hired an actor who looks like he could be 12 if he wasn't so tall but it seems like a fun movie.
The Amazing Spider-Man is actually pretty good. :)
I'd ask you what your favorite part was, but I haven't seen it yet lol
What's happening funky party weasels?
Hey. I resemble that remark

When Pigs Fly. A blog posting by a reporter—who also happens to be a ham radio operator—on the art of QRPing.
70 years of ribbing, hamming and wedded bliss. Bob and Dorothy Truhlar attribute their long marriage to a healthy sense of humor, as well as a clear division of duties, and a common interest in ham radio. And, they both admit, a bit of blackberry brandy every now and then doesn't hurt.
Ham radio verification cards on exhibit at Harford Community College. This exhibit features QSL cards as examples of an "operator's personality and home life."

A 19 Action News investigation has found a Cleveland firefighter is still living in California -- more than a year after outrage over his out of state address.
City Hall confirms firefighter Joseph Coneglio is still living in San Diego, and we also found new reason to ask is he playing the system?
Since we broke the story of three out of state firefighters in 2011, we've seen a big investigation into a pay scandal, council hearings, even a new law about where city firefighters can live.
Yet nothing has changed with Joseph Coneglio.
Taxpayers can't believe it. Still no move to Cleveland. One told us, "That seems a little strange. Really strange."
The earlier outrage led Councilman Kevin Conwell to make sure any new firefighters hired live near the city. This news makes him angry.
"I implemented the law because of this guy. Matter of fact, you could name the law after this guy," said Conwell.
And now this too. We've found Coneglio was off on injury leave from July of 2011 to January 2012. He came back for a day, then he went off on restricted duty 8 more months. He came back to work for a few weeks, and he's been off on injury leave ever since.
"Now he's playing games. We can't have him playing games. This is serious. Matter of fact, its the people's money," added Councilman Conwell.
City Hall has said Coneglio has had others work for him, and then he'd come into town and furiously work for others.
13 firefighters just got indicted for how they traded shifts, but not Coneglio.
One other firefighter lived in Pennsylvania and one in Kentucky. One of them retired and the other has been on sick leave planning to retire.
The union has said Coneglio lives in San Diego for his family.

H. influenzae beta-carbonic anhydrase, variant V47A
The Haemophilus influenzae beta-carbonic anhydrase (HICA) allosteric site variants V47A and G41A were overexpressed and purified to homogeneity. These variants have k(cat)/K(m) values similar to that of the wild-type enzyme and exhibit a similar dramatic decrease in catalytic activity at pH <8.0. However, both HICA-G41A and -V47A were serendipitously found to bind sulfate ion or bicarbonate ion near pairs of Glu50 and Arg64 residues located on the dimerization interface. In the case of HICA-V47A, bicarbonate ions simultaneously bind to both the dimerization interface and the allosteric sites. For HICA-G41A, two of 12 chains in the asymmetric unit bind bicarbonate ion exclusively at the dimerization interface, while the remaining 10 chains bind bicarbonate ion exclusively at the allosteric site. We propose that the new anion binding site along the dimerization interface of HICA is an "escort" site that represents an intermediate along the ingress and egress route of bicarbonate ion to and from the allosteric binding site, respectively. The structural evidence for sulfate binding at the escort site suggests that the mechanism of sulfate activation of HICA is the result of sulfate ion competing for bicarbonate at the escort site, preventing passage of bicarbonate from the bulk solution to its allosteric site.

Gas prices dropped below $3 for a gallon of regular gasoline at several stations in Rutherford County Friday morning. Four local gas stations, two in La Vergne and two in Smyrna, offered the lower price, nearly $0.25 cheaper than the Nashville-area average of $3.23 per gallon.
According the U.S. Energy Information Administration, transportation fuel prices dropped $0.18 in September. The price per gallon is expected to average $3.34 in the fourth quarter of 2013.AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge reflects those same numbers, showing the national average for a gallon of regular at $3.35, down $0.21 in the last month. Statewide, the average is $3.16, down $0.19 in a month's time. Not much is being said about the dip in prices, as analysts begin to focus on winter heating fuels. Natural gas, propane, and electricity costs are expected to go up, 13%, 9%, and 2% respectively, between October 1 and March 31. It's not clear how long gas prices will remain on the downward slope. Gas stations offering a gallon of regular at $2.99 include Kroger at 463 Sam Ridley Parkway and Home Depot at 553 President Place, in Smyrna, and Kroger at 5145 Murfreesboro Road and Murphy USA at 584 Enon Springs Road in La Vergne.

Stevenson Ridge is truly a life-saver for me. I was about to cancel any further drives from my home in Beaufort, NC to visit the grandchildren in Silver Spring, MD. Then I found Stevenson Ridge. With the better part of the drive behind us and the hard part ahead, my two best pals and I relax and refresh overnight in the casual elegance of The Civil War Cabin. Jesse and Charlie, of hound-shepherd variety, love walking the trails and curling up for the night in the cozy cabin. I am completely revived after a night's rest in the most comfortable bed off I-95 and wake up to a delightful basket of breakfast treats delivered to my door (for a modest fee). On my last visit, there was an extra treat--a colander of fresh-picked strawberries from Debbie, Inn-keeper Extraordinaire. My visits have been brief, but my memories are forever. Treat yourself soon!

My girlfriend and I chose this quiet spot for our anniversary get away. It was absolutely perfect!! We had a wonderful time. It was peaceful and amazingly romantic. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. And the cabin was wonderful: we're already planning to go back in the winter!

The Corn Crib located at Stevenson Ridge was a great place to stay. The grounds and buildings were very interesting and the hosts made us feel very much at home. Breakfast provisions were first class but really should be part of the deal for a B&B, not as an add on. We would have give a straight 5 stars apart from this.

Once again Stevenson Ridge did NOT disappoint. The Spy Hill House was beautifully decorated with a wonderful view of the pond. The unbelievably tall bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The modern bathroom was a nice touch in an otherwise not-at-all modern house. Our morning breakfast was dropped off right on time & was absolutely delish! Just love this treasure called Stevenson Ridge!

My husband and I recently stayed in the Riddick House over Memorial Day 2014. It was perfect down to the last detail. We had a relaxing weekend that was made even more enjoyable by a superior staff. I have already recommended this place to all my friends and family. Saw a few weddings on the grounds too...I wish I wasn't already married so I could have my event there! Check it out!

Truly an historic experience also from a European point of view! The house and the interiors are breath-taking, so is the huge garden and the forest. Lovely setting, the owners took great care of us and provided us with 2 perfect recommendations for a) breakfast and b) dinner. We couldn't have hit it better! Many thanks for hosting us!

My husband and I stayed in the Adrian Cabin and had such a wonderful time. The family/owners were exceptionally kind and gave us great advice about what to do around town. They recommended a great guy, Chris M., to give us a personal tour of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania battlefields, which absolutely MADE our trip. If you're visiting to check out the battlefields, I would highly recommend this. Overall, the place was affordable, the grounds were peaceful, and the service excellent. We plan on making the trek back to the Adrian Cabin from our home in Texas again!

The houses at Stevenson Ridge are absolutely beautiful. Overall I would highly recommend this B&B although there were a couple minor issues. First, we chose the Riddick House specifically because it had a Jacuzzi listed in the description, so we were pretty disappointed when we got to our room and discovered it was out of order and could only be used as a soaking tub. This should have been made clear to us at the time of booking. Second, when we went to make breakfast in the morning, we found that the gas stove was not turned on, so we had to wait for someone from the staff to come and turn it on. It would also be nice if they had at least one nice, non-stick pan in the kitchen. Given that they don't really prepare breakfast for you as Stevenson Ridge as they do in other B&Bs, they should make sure the guests have cookwares in good enough condition to be useful should the guests decide to make use of what is a beautiful kitchen setup. We managed to make bacon and eggs in the beatup, wobbly, dented steal pan we found, but it was certainly not ideal. Other than the above mentioned issues, I will say we genuinely enjoyed our stay, loved exploring the house including the many knick knacks and books, etc. on the shelves and we do plan on returning in the future.

A gem of a cabin in the woods was perfect for a mini escape. The cabin was clean, well appointed and comfy. Firewood was ready and the fire was perfect to relax by. Enjoyed the walk to the river. Hosts were friendly and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend staying here, and I plan to return. We took our own food, so I cannot rate it, however the survey does not give a n/a option. Thank you.
