Two armed men who broke into a Huntsville home are still on the run.
Police said around 1:30 a.m. Monday, two men broke into a home on Lisa Lane.
Police said the men had handguns and covered their faces with shirts.
They stole some items from the people inside the house, who were not hurt. But police said the men forced a woman and her uncle into the bathroom.
According to investigators, the victims last saw the men running out of the house, heading east.
Officers brought out a K-9 that tracked the men to Academy Drive, but the dog lost the scent.

Tucson Police have identified the victim in a shooting on Tucson's west side last night.
Roger Catalan, 38, was shot late Monday night and was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The shooting happened in the 1200 block of West Ontario Street, near West Speedway Boulevard and North Grande Avenue.
According to TPD when they arrived at the scene around 11:15 p.m., they found Catalan with obvious gunshot trauma.
There may be possible gang affiliation, according to TPD, who called out the Gang Investigations Unit. Police say that after a preliminary investigation detectives found that an unknown number of individuals were involved in an altercation outside a home on West Ontario, when things escalated and shots were fired.
The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation, according to TPD.
Detectives are asking if anyone has information about the suspects or motives behind the shooting, to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
Tucson News Now's Som Lisaius will have more on this story tonight on KOLD News 13. He can be followed on Twitter at @SomLisaiusKOLD.

it is great for minor break out..help to reduce any pimples and acne..
i like the roller ball because it makes easier to aply..but i also hate it because my dead skin trapped on the roller and bottle..it looks gross!
Due to stress from work, starting birth control pills etc- I have begun to break out on my neck (ew) and a little on my lower cheek (ew, again). I had a flare up over the weekend (to the point where I had to wear makeup all the time because I was emabrassed!) and was just about to book an appt with the derm to get prescription medication when I decided to come on here and do some research. I had been using Neutrogena Clean Pore Mask/cleanser in one. I guess it was too much for my skin because all it did was make things worse. I'm talking painful breakouts. I had heard that tea tree oil helps improve skin tone and lessen inflamation. So, I went to purchase this product during my lunch yesterday. Right when I got home I washed my face with the achne treatment facewash (Burt's Bees) and followed with this blemish stick. I re-applied it a few times while laying in bed/watching tv. I woke up this morning and the pimples that were there were MUCH lower and there was so much less imflamation!! Of course this will dry out the areas you apply it too (there is peroxide in it, I believe). But, thats okay with me if it gets rid of these breakouts. I am actually excited to go home tonight wash my face and re-apply this treatment again! I saw a difference in one night.....so I am assuming it will get better with time. The smell isn't so bad and is a small price to pay for better skin. The packaging is fine with me too...but i'm not picky.
I love the smell and feel of this product.
But it didn't seem to clear up my zits.
Than again, lately, not even high concentrations of BP or SA do either .
Friggin hormones ... continued >>
WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER TRIED!! i bought this hoping that it would help with a cystic acne that i cant get rid of, but instead it broke me out worse than i have ever experienced. I woke up the next morning with red patches and small white heads clumped into groups all over my face. they are so itchy and dry and i cant even wear makeup to cover them cause my skin is so uneven now. im hoping they will clear by halloween. please dont go near this stuff
I wanted to love this product, but it didn't do a thing for me. I love many of Burt's Bees lotions and soaps, but...when I replaced it with the Evan Healy blemish stick I was like, OH OKAY, that's what this one is supposed to do! So, no, I won't be buying again.
I've had acne for 4 years now. I've tried tons of things. Proactiv, clearasil, clean and clear, you name it...I've tried it. I recently started using clinique 3 step, though. It has been working great for me but I still have those pimples that are hard to get rid of or take a while to get rid of and I really wanted a spot treatment so I bought this one. I've been using it for 4 days now, I put it on at night before I go to bed and keep it on my nightstand and reapply as I lay in bed (it takes me forever to fall asleep). If I'm not doing anything during the day and won't be wearing makeup at all...I put it on periodically throughout the day. I have seen a huge change already! My pimples have gone down in size, and my skin is almost clear. This is huge for me...seeing as I've been struggling with this for years upon years and had almost given up on trying to find something that would work. My mom used this one time, a couple nights ago and is seeing change as well. I love this product!
I have to saw that this is a very mixed review. While I love Burts Bees this is kind of a mediocre product at best.
The tube it comes in is unhygenic- I worry that rubbing this over a break out and then rubbing somewhere else that is clear will only spread the bacteria and lead to more breakouts. This would be better in a tonic bottle or something.
The smell isn't bad- it is definitely strong and definitely tea tree oil. But it is strong and does burn slightly on skin. Especially if you have and cuts or chapped skin (from a cold or something).
I do feel like this minimizes the size of blemishes quite well over night- at least for me. So I would buy it again just for that.
Let me start off by saying I love Burt's Bees, big fan of the whole natural/organic line of theirs. I tried this, had high hopes, but it didn't help my breakouts at all. It may work for some people, but I'm not one of them.
Although I've already purchased this twice, thinking it was working, I've come to the conclusion that the only thing it really does is make my skin smell like tea tree oil and sting like crazy. It burns when you put it on, but after using it at night for weeks, I still haven't noticed a difference. I have combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. So far Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide have worked the best on my blemishes. I won't waste the $7 on this again.
Me: Normal skin with regular breakouts.
My experience: I would use this if I saw some sort of inflammation or I wanted to prevent an emerging pimple. I quite like the smell because it smells very herbal and organic, signature Burts Bees, although I understand if people dont like it. I found this product to be ineffective, it didnt really do much.
As noted by many people, the applicator is extremely unhygienic and could promote the dispersion of bacteria, countering the original purpose of the product. It can be quite difficult to obtain the liquid as you roll it on your face. Furthermore, this product would be difficult to treat raised pimples as the liquid is controlled by the spherical applicator.
Looking at the ingredients, the herbal blemish stick is just a concoction of oils and the main blemish treating ingredients are willow bark extract (which doesnt have the same potency as salicylic acid) and tea tree oil. I question the effectiveness as these ingredients are quite little in quantity in contrast to the other herbal oils which are probably for fragrance and are not well recognised for blemish fighting qualities. Youll probably be better off with a salicylic treatment or tea tree oil on its own.
Would I buy it again? No. In Australia it is quite expensive and drugstore pimple/blemish treatments with the same key ingredients (salicylic acid/benzyl peroxide/tea tree oil) are nearly half the price of the product. Furthermore, in my experience drugstore treatments were more effective. If you opt to take the natural approach, you might consider tea tree oil itself than buying a product with a low concentration of tea tree oil.
Note: I wouldnt use willow bark extract and salicylic acid interchangeably because willow bark extract is converted to salicylic acid by digestive processes when consumed orally.

Why Egypt is so dangerous
After a quick market rebound, a possible coup sends crude oil soaring out of a multi-year consolidation and sucks the wind out of stocks.
Well, that didn't last long. Stocks have recovered over the past week as the Federal Reserve, after watching liquidity-addicted markets freak out, walked back its hawkish "taper" commentary on reducing its $85 billion-a-month bond purchase program. Economic data has also stabilized somewhat, but remains weak enough for the Fed to justify a continuation -- if not an expansion, based on some comments today by New York Fed president William Dudley -- of its cheap money stimulus.
Why not? Inflation remains low. But maybe not for much longer.
About two hours ago, Egypt's military issued an ultimatum to the ruling Muslim Brotherhood that sets the stage for a violent coup attempt tomorrow as supporters and opponents of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi rally in the streets. That's renewing concerns about the stability of the region and the flow of crude oil through the Suez Canal, sending oil surging out of a multi-year consolidation pattern. And that threatens to boost gas prices (pressuring consumers) and lift inflation (limiting the Fed's flexibility).
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is reacting by falling away from resistance at 15,000, as well as its 50-day moving average. But the bigger story is what's happening in crude oil, which is rising alongside the U.S. dollar (which is rare) and has moved up and out of the downtrend pattern that's contained it since the mid-2011 inflation scare driven by the Arab Spring turmoil.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) or fear gauge also on the move as a continued rise in energy prices provides a new threat to the cheap money liquidity that has kept this market aloft amid deteriorating economic fundamentals and slowing corporate earnings growth.
I'm still seeing some long side action in smaller stocks like Lifevantage (LFVN). But the situation in Egypt is a serious threat to the market because it risks boosting the one variable that represents the Achilles's heel for global central bankers: Higher commodity prices feeding inflationary pressure.
That'll force them to taper, even if the economy isn't as strong as they'd like.
The situation is fluid and fast moving, but the moves in the ProShares Ultra Crude Oil (UCO) and the VelocityShares 2x VIX (TVIX) are strong enough that I'm adding them to my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio. Less aggressive options include the U.S. Oil Fund (USO) and the iPath S&P 500 VIX (VXX).
The rise in crude oil could continue as the Egyptian military sends assets to the Sinai Peninsula ostensibly to prevent the flow of Islamists from flowing across the border to support Morsi. And if so, the country could be looking at $4 a gallon gasoline by the end of summer.
Disclosure: Anthony has recommended UCO and TVIX to his clients.

We will be in a much worse position 4 years from now than we were 4 years ago. This administration has become a laughingstock around the world. When Obama speaks, the world puts their heads in their hands in quiet amusement, the same way they might react if a Kardashian gave a speech on climate change. 10 years ago, we'd have Snowden back in custody in a matter of hours. Today, we couldn't convince the Russians to give us a bottle of vodka if our very lives depended on it. And if we could, Obama would have to promise his first-born grandchild to secure the deal. Obama has probably never even haggled on a price at a flea market. And yet half the voters elected him to a position to negotiate on our behalf on the world stage. The results of his incompetent foreign policy directives will be felt for decades.

Do you feel guilty about using those return-address labels from charities, or for neglecting to write thank-you cards?
This guest post comes from J. Money at Budgets are Sexy.
Almost a year ago I started a post about money-related things I've done that I feel bad about, but for whatever reason I couldn't finish it. Maybe it had to do with thinking they're small and aren't all that exciting, mixed with feeling guilty about them -- and probably more so of the latter. (Who likes admitting to thousands of people that they aren't perfect?)
Lately though, I figured it was about time to bare my soul. And something tells me I'm not the only one who's done these things.
Five things I feel bad about doing:
- Using those "free" St. Jude's stickers. You know, the ones with your address preprinted on them so you never have to write another return address again because you have 500-plus of them. That will last you 150 years. Unless you move.
Pepsi wants to tap into Americans' desire for healthier soft drinks. Plus: Coupons and kids eat free at Quiznos.
Poor beleaguered soda. Though Americans still drink too many sweetened soft drinks, they are starting to ask questions about whether they should. Cities and states have tried to tax soda, and New York City even wants to ban its purchase with food stamps.
Seeking to capture the "healthy soda" market, or at least tap into consumers' desires for healthier beverages, PepsiCo has turned the old Sierra Mist into the new Sierra Mist Natural.
As part of a major marketing campaign, Pepsi is giving away 10 million cans on Saturday, Oct. 9, at 2,800 Wal-Mart Supercenters nationwide. The giveaway is not on the Wal-Mart sampling calendar, but we believe it is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All that stuff you never use can benefit others. You get a tax write-off and more room in your life.
Following my divorce I received dozens of paintings, prints and posters as part of my share of the community property. Some I've been able to sell. Some of it I probably never will.
I've decided to give away some of it, starting with one framed photo of Mount McKinley and three examples of the Alaska art genre known as "moose and goose in the spruce."
So who'd want it?
Elite status comes with perks worth the extra trip. But how do you get it without overpaying?
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Seth Miller has neither family nor business in Spokane, Wash., but that didn't stop the New Yorker from making three cross-country trips to the Eastern Washington city this year. Miller went solely for the miles, to secure his 2011 status as a platinum-level elite flier on Continental Airlines. "I didn't know what I was going to do there," he says. "I booked the (sale) fare and figured it out after."
Late-fall "mileage runs" are common among frequent fliers who are just a few miles shy of the 25,000 they need for "elite" status, which includes perks like seat upgrades and waived baggage fees. For the more casual traveler, such unnecessary trips might seem like flights of fancy. But with fares and fees on the rise, elite status is starting to confer tangible benefits. "Getting elite status used to be all about seat upgrades," says Randy Petersen, the founder of InsideFlyer, which tracks frequent-flier programs. "Today it's about saving money."
One man's tale of how 'requirements creep' crept into his kitchen remodeling plans and spread to the bathroom.
This guest post comes from Len Penzo at Len Penzo dot Com.
As I've previously mentioned, the Penzo household is in the middle of a long-awaited home renovation project.
Originally, it was supposed to be a fairly modest kitchen renovation that involved replacing our porcelain tile countertops with granite and adding a new tumbled stone backsplash. It also included some new appliances.
Then, one quiet evening not too long ago, while we were watching the 6,000th episode of "House Hunters," the Honeybee decided to see if she could push the budget boundaries just a tad.
American Tax Relief's ads on TV, radio and the Internet said it could settle customers' tax debt for a fraction of what they owed.
This post comes from James Limbach at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
A federal judge has halted a national operation accused of bilking consumers out of more than $60 million by falsely claiming it can reduce tax debts.
The California state business license of American Tax Relief was suspended last year for nonpayment of its own taxes, according to the Federal Trade Commission, which is seeking to make the defendants pay restitution to victims.
"We've made it a top priority to go after scammers who try to exploit the financial hardship of others," said David C. Vladeck, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Citing obesity epidemic, New York wants to add sugary drinks to the list of items you can't buy with food stamps. Is that fair to the poor?
New York has a modest proposal: Don't let people use food stamps to buy soda.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. Jay Patterson have asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the food stamp program, to authorize a two-year demonstration project in New York City in an effort to combat obesity.
The ban would apply to any beverage that contains more than 10 calories per 8-ounce serving (soda has 150), except for milk and fruit juices without added sugar.
Being of the mind that no one should drink soda except as an occasional treat, we think this sounds like a great idea.
Economic woes keep many folks out of the housing market, and those who want a loan will must surmount bureaucratic obstacles.
Mortgage rates have again hit historic lows, with the average rate for a fixed-year mortgage at 4.27% this week, down from 4.32% last week.
That rate is the lowest since Freddie Mac began keeping statistics in 1971 and the lowest rate seen since 1950, according to National Bureau of Economic Research statistics from a time when loan rules were different.
Are we starting to sound like a broken record here? Maybe you should get out your 78 rpms, because you probably were still playing them the last time rates were this low. At least the value of vinyl is rising.
This year's previous low for mortgage rates was last week's 4.32%, also seen the week of Sept. 2, according to Freddie Mac's weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey. The average rate for a 15-year loan was 3.72%, down from 3.75% last week. That also is the lowest rate recorded since record-keeping began in 1991.

Normal Child and Adolescent DevelopmentA Psychodynamic Primer
Karen J. Gilmore, M.D., and Pamela Meersand, Ph.D.2014364 pages
ISBN 978-1-58562-436-2Paperback
Item #62436
Video and discussion highlight and vividly display the different phases of normal development.
Replete with new ideas and fascinating connections, the volume is also beautifully written and a pleasure to read. The clinical vignettes in the text are vivid narratives that make the child at different stages recognizable and memorable. In addition, online video illustrations reinforce the key characteristics at each phase of normal development. In brief:
The book's multisystem approach shows the complexity and diversity of human development. Truly, Normal Child and Adolescent Development: A Psychodynamic Primer is a twenty-first century text, and one that both students and practitioners in psychiatry, psychology, and psychoanalysis will welcome as a valuable resource.
Disparate paradigms of genetic, cognitive, psychosexual, and psychosocial theories are woven together in a clear, integrative approach that does not throw out the "baby" of attachment theory with the "bath water" of classical psychodynamics.
Each chapter, from infancy to adolescence, provides an excellent summary, comprehensive charts, and illustrative vignettes. This is a superb synthesis demonstrating that each individual is a complex product of endowment, environment, and particular relationships.
I recommend the book as a must for all those interested in human development."—Clarice J. Kestenbaum, M.D., Director of Training Emerita and Professor of Clinical Psychiatry; Columbia University, College of Physicians & Surgeons, New York, NY
"Gilmore and Meersand have succeeded in the herculean task of articulating a coherent psychodynamic account of development from birth through early adulthood. Weaving together the threads and hints that permeate classic and contemporary psychoanalytic theories, along with current research findings and illustrative vignettes, the authors offer a depiction of psychological development infused with the sensibility and wisdom of an integrative psychoanalytic framework which takes account of multiple internal and external forces on development. Their objective is to enhance the ability of psychoanalytic clinicians to make use of developmental notions in clinical work with individuals of all ages. Written in a lively and engaging style, their volume achieves this goal with eminent success."—Jeanine M. Vivona, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology; The College of New Jersey, Ewing, NJ

Although colon therapy has existed in some form since antiquity (ancient Egyptians have been documented to use enemas), modern colon cleansing is a relatively new idea. Some may therefore wonder if cleansing is really necessary, when for thousands of years people lived perfectly well without it.
The fact is, a colon cleanse is unnecessary – if you eat a perfect diet. In previous centuries, there were no chemical pesticides and fertilizers, no processed foods, no refined carbohydrates or artificially saturated fats. People ate far less animal protein, and far more fiber. They maintained a diet that kept their colons healthy, and therefore had no need for intervention in the form of cleansing. Today, things are sadly very different.
Our bodies are designed to consume natural foods, and food is therefore most beneficial to us when it's eaten in its purest (most natural) form. Every time we refine, filter, saturate, preserve, irradiate, pasteurize, sweeten, homogenize, or otherwise "improve" our food, we are actually destroying vital nutrition in our food. When we eat dead food, our body has no idea what to do with it. Unable to even recognize it as food, the colon views it as a contaminant and starts to produce mucous to trap it. But, with the constant buildup of more and more material, our body is unable to keep up; all that mucous and undigested food eventually just gets stuck.
According to the US Health Service, more than 90% of Americans have a clogged colon. This staggering statistic is a clear demonstration that colon cleansing should be an urgent priority for every single American. Our colons are design to eliminate waste, and if they get clogged, all that waste builds up inside our bodies. Imagine what a clogged toilet would look like if you continued to defecate in it. Disgusting? Of course – and that's what's happening inside you when your colon is clogged!
A colon cleanse is the modern, natural solution to a modern, unnatural problem. But it's not the whole solution. Poor diet leads to many more problems than just a clogged colon: all of your internal organs are stressed. Although colon cleansing can make you feel lighter and more energetic immediately, and may have other effects as well, it is no substitute for healthy food and exercise. On the other hand, diet and exercise are not enough to clear your colon once the problem has started. And with the difficulty of sticking 100% to natural foods, regular colon cleansing provides needed maintenance for those times when we slip a bit.

Currency Peg
Definition of 'Currency Peg'
A country or government's exchange-rate policy of pegging the central bank's rate of exchange to another country's currency. Currency has sometimes also been pegged to the price of gold.
Also known as a "fixed exchange rate" or "pegged exchage rate."
Investopedia explains 'Currency Peg'
Currency pegs allow importers and exporters to know exactly what kind of exchange rate they can expect for their transactions, simplifying trade. This in turn helps to curb inflation and temper interest rates, thus allowing for increased trade.

"America's intellectual community has never been very bright. Or honest. They're all sheep, following whatever the intellectual fashion of the decade happens to be. Demanding that everyone follow their dicta in lockstep. Everyone has to be open-minded and tolerant of the things they believe, but God forbid they should ever concede, even for a moment, that someone who disagrees with them might have some fingerhold on truth."
And this one:
"Love? That's what this all comes down to?"
"No, not just love. I'm talking about the cycle of life. I'm talking about finding some alien creature and deciding to marry her and stay with her forever, no matter whether you even like each other or not in a few years down the road. And why will you do this? So you can make babies together, and try to keep them alive and teach them what they need to know so that someday they'll have babies, and keep the whole thing going. And you'll never draw a secure breath until you have grandchildren, a double handful of them, because then you know that your line won't die out, your influence will continue. Selfish, isn't it? Only it's not selfish, it's what life is for. It's the only thing that brings happiness, ever, to anyone. All the other things--victories, achievements, honors, causes--they bring only momentary flashes of pleasure. but binding yourself to another person and to the children you make together, that's life. And you can't do it if your life is centered on your ambitions. You'll never be happy. It will never be enough, even if you rule the world."
Did I tell you I like reading? When my 18-y-o boy came last weekend, he brought an armful of Orson Scott Card books and I'm savoring every word. Had to share with you, hope you don't mind.

Striking Back at Amazon – Good or Bad?
By Bob Hughes
Bookstores are striking back against Amazon's publishing inroads. For example, many won't be carrying The 4-Hour Chef, the new book by bestselling author Timothy Ferriss, since it's being published by Amazon.
This is to be expected – Amazon is the enemy for bookstores, since it is so powerful, able to undercut the price that bookstores charge, and is seen by brick-and-mortar stores as the arrogant Goliath to their put-upon David.
You can see where this is coming from – and why consolidation among the remaining large publishers is likely to continue.
Amazon, despite its strengths, hasn't yet been able to withstand the refusal of booksellers to carry its titles. Penny Marshall's memoir, published by Amazon, wasn't the bestseller it was widely expected to be, because of such resistance among brick-and-mortar stores to carry it, according to the recent New York Times article about Amazon and booksellers. It sold okay on Amazon, but needed the physical presence of a brick-and-mortar network of stores in addition to the online one.
Or maybe the book just wasn't that interesting to readers – it's not always a matter of physical distribution.
Now, Ferriss has had a track record with his previous two books, The 4-Hour Workweek and The 4-Hour Body. It will be a test to see if he can do well mainly through Amazon's platform (and his own, of course – since he has several popular sites and platforms help drive readers to books) .
This book might be seen as a test of Amazon's publishing venture. Or of the power of online distribution of books versus the brick-and-mortar way of selling books. But more and more people are moving to digital, and they're not likely to be stopping at bookstores to buy their books. Publishes are consolidating to battle Amazon not at the bookstore level, but at the digital one.
This understandable resistance to the power of Amazon is maybe the last gap of a sea change in how books are sold, distributed and read. Traditional paper-and-cardboard books aren't going away just yet. But one can't say the same thing, unfortunately, about traditional bookstores.

- amazing service and great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014Went here on a date with my husband. Our waiter was spectacular and the food was fonomanal! We started out with the garlic shrimp appetizer and it was delightful. Our waiter recommended a wine that went perfect with it. Then we had the 8 once fila that practically melted in your mouth. Ended the meal with cheese cake with a chocolate fudge drizzle. Couldn't have been better. Can't wait to returnSpecial Features:

- Great steakhouseRouxbidooVIPDined on 9/19/2014I dined often at Cuvee that was once in this space. Fortunately the interior has been left mostly the same because it did not need improving. I was afraid that this would be a tourist restaurant, and in fact that was most of the clientele, but the food and service beat my expectations. The steaks are not quite the jewelry case style and perfection of Doris Metro, but that's not what they are going for here -- it's more like a well run Ruths Chris. Normally I don't like live music in a restaurant but the piano player in the bar kept the volume low enough for table conversation. PS: Love their street sign.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/19/2014So noisy, no one could hear. People had to go outside to talk on their phones. The food was overpriced and under cooked.

- DisappointedFoodsterDined on 9/3/2014Must say we were disappointed with the steaks.....group of 4 had steaks and no one was thrilled. One was returned because it was not rare, but when you put a rare steak on a super hot plate your going to have med rare when it gets to the table....manager seemed to not understand that. Seafood dishes however were all great and service was excellent.Special Features:

- Best steaks around French QuarterBestnNOLADined on 8/24/2014We tried several other places in the area all with high praise but none compared to the Chop House. The entire staff was outstanding, knowledgable, and attentive. Thank you Kelly! There is limited seating so make a reservation. Portions are very large, steaks were cooked correctly, in color and temp with a good flavor. It's a great place to celebrate an anniversary with your loved one. Great place for a date. 5 star service, 5 star food. Not kid recommended because it's small, and your kids are not welcome at everyone else's table. Your bill will reflect the quality and quantity of your experience. If your wanting golden coral prices move on. We will return the next time we are in NOLA. It is the only place we will revisitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden Steakhouse GemTMooreDined on 8/24/2014I recently dined at Chophouse for a nice, quiet romantic dinner and everything was superb!

Richard Atkinson's comments in the Rebecca Webb recipe thread got me to wondering how many different recipes are out there for mushroom pates, and googling turned up many.
Most were very similar to Rebecca's in using cheese as a binder. One of the oddest within the cheese realm, though, involved simmering the mushrooms in four cups of water as a first step. After half an hour the mushrooms were separated from the liquid, which was then boiled down until just 1/2 cup remained. Allowed to cool, it was then mixed with the mushrooms, cheese and herbs. Can't say I find that mentally tempting, but it's interesting to ponder.
More interesting to me was this cheeseless version. For a binder, it uses butter, and the mixture calls for a sauteed leek, which strikes me as a worthy addition though I think the eight minutes called for that part of the procedure is too long. Though it uses only the white, I'd use the green too, go half that time to preserve texture and color, and cook it separately from the mushrooms, adding back only when the mushrooms had cooled somewhat.
This recipe reminds me very much of the 'potted' technique for preserving shellfish en crock for spreading later on toast points touted by the New York Times first (I believe) celebrity chef Craig Claiborne (I have one of his old books) that has it's roots in classic French cooking and harkens back to a kinder, sweeter time when we didn't know that butter could kill.
It's printed below for your consideration.
Title: Mushroom Pate
Categories: Pate, Vegetarian
Yield: 6 servings
1 c Butter
1 med Leek, white only, chopped
2 cl Garlic, minced
1 1/2 lb Coarsely chopped mushrooms
2 tb Chopped fresh parsley
1 ts Dried thyme
1/2 c Dry white wine
2 tb Dry sherry or sauterne
1/4 ts Pepper
1/8 ts Salt
Fresh herbs, if desired
Carrot flowers if desired
Toasted french bread slices
Melt butter in a large skillet. Add leek and garlic.
Saute until leek is tender, about 8 minutes.
Stir in mushrooms, parsley and thyme. Saute until
mushrooms give off their juices, about 10 minutes.
Stir in wine or sherry. Season to taste. Cook,
stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced and
thickened, about 10 minutes. Cool mixture slightly.
Puree in blender or food processor until smooth.
Place mixture in 3-cup terrine. Refrigerate, covered,
several hours or overnight. Garnish with fresh herbs
and carrots. Serve with toasted French bread slices.
Store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator, this
intensely-flavored spread can be prepared up to two
days in advance.
If you like, substitute some of the more exotic
mushrooms that are readily available today, such as
shitake, enoki or oyster, for part of the mushrooms.

PORTAGE, WI (WTAQ) - Charges are pending against a 19-year-old man who allegedly killed a co-worker at a Subway sandwich shop in Portage.
Police said 22-year-old David Johnson was shot numerous times in cold blood in the restaurant's parking lot Thursday morning.
Detective Mark Hahn said both employees were quote, "written up" by their boss last week due to a heated argument they got into.
Police said the suspect waited for Johnson to drive into the parking lot before shooting him.
The 19-year-old was arrested about an hour after the shootings in Columbus. He faces a possible charge of first-degree intentional homicide.
Officials expect the arrested teen to appear in court next week.
Divine Savior Hospital was under a lockdown while the alleged shooter was being sought.
Portage school officials also said they put extra security in place, and did not allow students outside for almost an hour -- unless their parents wanted to pick them up.

Officials with the U.S. Forest Service are making a stop in Show Low on Tuesday to gather comment on a massive forest thinning project.
The agency recently released a draft environmental impact statement for the Four Forest Restoration Initiative. The plan is to restore a 2.4 million-acre area long the Mogollon Rim to a natural fire regime, reduce wildfire threats and create sustainable forest industries.
The Montana-based contractor plans to convert the timber into things like laminate wood panels.
Tuesday's meeting is scheduled at the Navajo County Public Health Services District building.
The last in a series of open house meetings on the project will be held in Flagstaff on May 15.

Mike has a million things going on their head. Steve and Dwight, they're out there in the moment so it's tough to see those things. I could see them from the sideline."

Hedahl, First Stuempfle Professor of the Proclamation of the Word Resigns to Focus on Health
Following two decades of dedicated professorial service, during which she mentored hundreds of seminarians in the art of preaching, the Rev. Dr. Susan K. Hedahl has announced her resignation from teaching duties at Gettysburg Seminary effective August 31, 2012. The first recipient of the distinguished Herman G. Stuempfle Chair of the Proclamation of the Word at Gettysburg Seminary, Hedahl recently underwent surgery and was diagnosed with brain cancer. Following consultation with her doctors, she has concluded that the rigors of treatment are likely to make it impossible for her to continue teaching and fulfilling the many other responsibilities of a tenured faculty member.
In a letter announcing her plans to enter retirement this fall, Hedahl stated, "My teaching at the Seminary in the past two decades has been a privilege unlike any other offered me in my life. With gratitude for the multiple partnerships we share in proclaiming the Gospel, partnerships that will never cease, I remain thankful that in my flesh I may proclaim!"
A native of Minnesota, Hedahl received her undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota. She taught English as a missionary in Tanzania, East Africa from 1969-1972, after which she studied and received the Master of Divinity degree at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. Ordained to the Lutheran ministry in 1975, she was among the pioneering first generation of Lutheran women pastors in this country. She served in campus and parish ministry at University Lutheran Church of Hope, Minneapolis, and with two other Minnesota congregations. While engaged in graduate study for her Ph.D. in rhetoric and homiletics from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA, Hedahl served eleven Lutheran congregations as interim pastor. She began her full-time teaching career at Gettysburg Seminary in 1992.
In addition to her work with students in the classroom, Hedahl directed the Seminary's advanced degree program for a number of years, and also re-launched and edited its academic publication, the Seminary Ridge Review. She has been appreciated for her strong leadership in women's issues, helping the Church become more inclusive, and heeding the call to social justice. A prolific author, Hedahl published eight books and many articles on the art and craft of preaching. She shared her wide-ranging voracious reading habits with a broad internet community through a voluminous collection of book reviews published on the Seminary website and elsewhere.
In response to her announcement, Seminary President Michael Cooper-White stated: "This news is a huge loss to the Gettysburg Seminary where Susan Hedahl has been a powerful presence in our school's mission for the past twenty years. She was one of the authors of our current vision statement, which locates us as 'Bearing Witness at the Crossroads of History and Hope, Proclaiming Jesus Christ to a restless world . . .' The way she is facing this sudden invasion of cancer with enormous courage and grace is a profound witness to us all. Truly, she 'practices what she preaches' and the Church's proclamation of the Word of God is stronger and bolder as a result of her influence."
In light of the unexpected faculty change, the Rev. Robin Steinke, Dean of the Seminary, will be making arrangements for the Seminary to cover the teaching of homiletics courses for this fall term and beyond.
In order to best support her primary focus on treatment during the coming weeks, Hedahl requests that students, faculty and staff colleagues and friends communicate with her through written cards and notes only at this point in time. These communications may be sent to her in care of the Seminary, 61 Seminary Ridge, Gettysburg, PA 17325.

Botsford News Release
Farmington Hills, Mich. (August 1, 2011)---Botsford Hospital has been ranked as one of the top 100 hospitals in the nation in terms of quality and value provided to the community according to a study of U.S. hospitals just released by a leading health care consulting firm.
Botsford was recognized as a top-ranked Community Value Provider in the State of the Hospital Industry –2011 Edition published by Cleverley +Associates based in Worthington, Ohio. The annual report assesses both financial strength and quality performance of hospitals and ranks the information through a Community Value Index using publicly available data including Medicare Cost Reports, Medicare Inpatient Claims, Medicare Outpatient Claims and 2009-2010 Hospital Compare data.
"We were honored that Botsford received both the Community Value 100 and Community Value Five-Star awards," said Paul LaCasse, D.O., president and CEO of Botsford Health Care. "Our CVI scores tell us that our hard work in providing top quality and responsible care has paid off when our results are benchmarked against that of all other hospitals of similar size and teaching status." The Community Value 100 award recognizes the top 100 hospitals while the Five Star Award is given to those scoring in the top 20 percent of their group; Botsford is ranked with other medium size teaching hospitals.
The Community Value Index assesses hospital performance in four key areas: financial viability and reinvestment in the facility, reasonable cost and charge structures and hospital quality indicators. The 2011 awards are based on 2009 hospital data.
Botsford Hospital is a multi-specialty 330 bed hospital and verified trauma center located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The campus also houses an imaging center and a comprehensive care cancer center. Botsford Hospital is also home to an extensive medical education program and is part of Michigan State University's statewide campus system. Botsford Hospital each year cares for approximately 16,000 inpatients and more than 60,000 emergency and trauma patients with a team of 2,500 employees, 300 volunteers and more than 600 physicians. A not-for-profit hospital, Botsford provided almost $10.5 million in community benefit during its 2011 fiscal year.

Under 30 Minutes
Quesadillas with Chutney and Brie
To make the tortillas more pliable, heat them over a direct flame until just warmed through (or heat them a few seconds in the microwave).
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 4 flour tortillas, (10-inch or burrito-size)
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3/4 pound sliced leftover turkey
- 1/2 cup leftover Cranberry Chutney, plus more, for serving (optional)
- 8 slices thick Brie cheese (8 ounces)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Cook's Note
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread one side of each tortilla with 1 tablespoon mustard. Divide the turkey over one half of each mustard-coated side; dress with cranberry chutney (about 2 tablespoons per quesadilla). Layer each with 2 Brie slices, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold and press to seal edges. Brush on all sides with olive oil; transfer to two rimmed baking sheets.
Step 2
Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve topped with more chutney, if desired.

This is a great and easy way to use leftovers. Very yummy. We used honey mustard. We loved it.Reply
michellepockrandt 24 Nov, 2007
This is a great lunch, it's a very lite meal, but is still very filling. I used regular mustard, without the cranberry sauce. I put small pieces of turkey on the tortilla. This is a great dish!Reply

I used mayonaise instead of mustard, and used deli turkey and cranberry sauce, but it was absolutely delicious and my hubby was a big fan. :)Reply

San Francisco, CA – March 21, 2007 -Out & Equal Workplace Advocates announced today that they are accepting workshop proposals for the 2007 Out & Equal Workplace Summit. An estimated 2,000 participants are expected to convene at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. September 27-29. The Workplace Summit is the premier conference on LGBT workplace equality, providing a unique opportunity to build alliances that foster safe and equitable work environments for everyone.
LGBT history is being made every day. As LGBT employees, straight allies, and human resource and diversity professionals gather in Washington, D.C. from around the world, Out & Equal's 2007 annual Summit will offer the chance to unite and share the information needed to advance LGBT workplace equality. Out & Equal workshops are invaluable tools to keep pace with the multitude of changes happening around us and in the workplace.
"The annual Workplace Summit, and the workshops at the Summit in particular, have long been a source of pride for us," said Ryan Crowder, Summit & Events manager at Out & Equal. "When it comes to the evolving issues that LGBT people face in the workplace—from early issues like nondiscrimination and domestic partner benefits, to complex and advanced topics like crafting inclusive international HR policies, addressing issues like gender fluidity in the workplace or advanced transgender health care coverage—we seek out the most innovative and educated experts in the world. We're always looking for that person who will challenge us and say, 'Hey, here's something new to think about.'"
Out & Equal is seeking proposals for workshops that increase insight, skills and resources in supporting the value of LGBT members of the workplace community. In particular, they are looking for workshops from a diverse slate of presenters that educate participants on best practices and the evolving issues that surround the LGBT workforce and its employers. They encourage workshop proposals that focus on today's "hot topics," as well as proven workshops that challenge and enlighten newcomers to LGBT workplace issues.
Presenters will have the opportunity to teach and interact with hundreds of workplace leaders from around the nation and the world, representing dozens of top organizations. HR and diversity professionals, employee leaders, consulting professionals and educators are encouraged to submit proposals.
Out & Equal specifically encourages presenters from communities that have been historically under-represented—including but not limited to persons of color, bisexuals, physically challenged persons, veterans, transgender persons, intersex persons, allies and senior members of the community.
Anyone with unique experiences, insight or knowledge related to workplace equality are encouraged to visit the Out & Equal website (www.outandequal.org) and read through the call for proposals and guidelines for submission.
Out & Equal™ Workplace Advocates (commonly known as "Out & Equal") is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in San Francisco, California. We provide a variety of services to companies, human resource professionals, employee resource groups (ERGs) and individuals. Out & Equal Workplace Advocates champions safe and equitable workplaces for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.

Loving Dogs is for Life
Then, now, always
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Anne | January 1 2013 | Permalink
I don't know what I'd do without my loving dogs. They are getting me through some tough times in my life right now. Their unconditional love is enough in life to keep me going on. My german shepherd lab mix is currently suffering from vestibular syndrome, she is 12, and that loving look she gives me when I'm giving her my all, melts my heart. My other dog is a mystery mix, yet resembles a King Charles Cavilier, but she's black with a white belly. She has the most fabulous sense of humor. Thank God for dogs. And by the way, spell dog backwards. That says it all. God Bless Them!
