Waterford — As the final results rolled in from Old Lyme, Bozrah and Montville, Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, pumped her fist in the air.
There were cheers and claps, then more cheers and more claps, as Ritter and members of her campaign realized she had won by a landslide in the primary against New London Democratic Town Committee Chairman Bill Satti.
"I want the totals. Give me the totals," Ritter piped as she crossed the room.
Unofficial results as of 10 p.m. showed Ritter with a 2-to-1 ratio in the voting in the eight-town 20th District. Unofficial preliminary numbers show she beat Satti 2,795 to 1,446.
Satti, 55, arrived at his Bank Street campaign headquarters just after the close of polls and huddled at a computer screen with his campaign manager, Michael Farina. At about 8:30, he stood and headed silently to the back of the room and made a call on his cellphone — to Ritter.
"The voters of the district have chosen a senator, Betsy Ritter, and they didn't leave any doubt about it," Satti said, returning to a throng of supporters. "Her campaign did a great job. They got the vote out.
"This is democracy at its finest."
Satti said he and Ritter, who is 63, had kept their campaigning "above board," and pledged to support the "Democratic team" in November.
In a speech following Satti's concession, Ritter thanked her family and members of her campaign for their support. She called her primary campaign a "long road."
"I think I've earned a reputation for working hard, doing that, and for advocacy," Ritter said as the atmosphere settled at her campaign headquarters located in Jordan Brook Plaza.
Ritter swept every 20th district town other than New London. The 20th district covers Bozrah, East Lyme, Montville, New London, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, Salem and Waterford.
When Ritter won the Democratic endorsement at a convention in May, some Montville delegates at the convention, including Town Committee Chair and Town Council Chairman Joseph Jaskiewicz, leaned toward Satti.
Montville resident Angelo Callis, a volunteer with Ritter's campaign, said of the results, "I think the residents of Montville speak for themselves." Town voters chose Ritter over Satti by a ratio of 2 to 1.
Satti would have needed to do exceedingly well in New London to offset Ritter's strength in Waterford. Although the turnout of better than 20 percent of New London's Democrats outstripped previous primary turnouts, it wasn't nearly enough.
"If we got out the vote, we could have done it," state Rep. Ernest Hewett of New London said. "It just shows that the distance between saying you're going to vote and voting is 300 miles."
Ritter will run against Republican Paul Formica, the East Lyme first selectman, on Election Day in November.
She said earlier Tuesday that her strategy leading up to the primary was to go door to door in neighborhoods throughout the district. People are more honest about their views in one-on-one conversation than in a crowd, Ritter said.
She said she placed an emphasis on neighborhoods outside of the 38th district, which she has represented in the House of Representatives for the past 10 years. All towns in the 20th district except Waterford and part of Montville lie outside the 38th district.
"I went out virtually every day, knocking on as many doors as I could," Ritter said standing outside of one of Waterford's polling locations, the Oswegatchie School.
New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio praised Satti's efforts to unseat Ritter.
"It's been 40 years since New London's had its own state senator, and Bill did his best to reverse that," Finizio said. "He made us proud and will continue to lead our party to a win in November."
While acknowledging the outcome was "very disappointing," Satti said he accepted it, and congratulated and thanked those who worked on his campaign.

The Dillinger Trail - Special Report
Hitting the back roads with a 34 Ford in search of Public Enemy Number One
By December 6, 2012 / Photos by Marc Urbano, Barbara Egan and the Author
That afternoon, we visited the Dillinger Museum in Hammond (excellent) and then tried to enter Chicago the old-fashioned way, on Highway 41. Unfortunately, it was so clogged with truck traffic we finally hit the Skyway and swooped right down onto Michigan Avenue during rush hour. Pedestrians gave our car the thumbs up, while many cabs made feinting, shark-like passes at our venerable fenders. Turning onto Lincoln Avenue, we soon found the Biograph Theater.
When they came out of the theater, FBI agents moved in on Dillinger, chased him a short distance to an alley entrance and gunned him down. Seems Hoover and his Chicago bureau chief, Melvin Purvis, had finally lost their sense of humor.
A parking space magically opened up right in front of the Biograph, and we walked down to the alley where Dillinger had died. Theres a Mexican restaurant next to it now, and blacktop where the bloodstained bricks used to be. The Biograph is still open and has a nicely restored lobby, but its used for live theater these days, rather than movies. One can only hope they still have popcorn and Junior Mints. Otherwise, whats the point?
Barb and I drove up Highway 41 to Racine, Wisconsin, that evening and got a motel. The gang robbed the American Bank and Trust Company there in November 1933, and got away with $28,000. We found the old bank building in downtown Racine, but it had been modernized into a civic art museum.
We drove back to our home that evening to do laundry, wash the car and grease the chassis. Wed already driven almost 1000 miles, and the only repair Id made was to get out a Crescent wrench and adjust the mechanical brakes one click. Id added three quarts of oil, and an equal amount of water. We were averaging between 12 and 18 mpg, depending on wind and hills. The Flathead, with its low 6.3:1 compression ratio and factory-hardened valve seats ran fine on regular unleaded, making easy torque everywhere.
We left the next morning on our 400-mile round trip to Little Bohemia.
This is a lovely old log resort set back in the pine trees on Little Star Lake, near Manitowish Waters in northern Wisconsin. The Dillinger gangincluding the psychopathic Baby Face Nelsonstayed there in April 1934 to nurse some minor gunshot wounds and cool off after things got a little hot in the Twin Cities.

Not for Sparring
By Chas
from Houston, TX
About Me Competitive Athlete
Best Uses
Comments about Ringside Arrow Training Gloves:
I had the IMF Ringside gloves before these & can't praise those glives enough, so i got these thinking they would be just about the same, but they are not. But instead of comparing ill just talk about these gloves. The gloves were purchased for sparring & they are not good sparring gloves. I got the 16oz gloves & they look, feel, much smaller, especially up next to another 16oz glove. I almost feel as if they sent me the 14oz ones by accident but there is no number showing me the size of the glove on it. The outer material feels like it would chip away or peel off after extended use but i havent come across that yet. The padding also feels like its full of air, a noticable difference from other gloves that foam/gel/foam. I really don't care for that if you are going to spar. The area around the wrist is hard (not the strap part). It feels like plastic is inside of the wrist area. The gloves are good for hitting focus mits, & a heavy bag, etc. however absolutely do not seem safe for sparring.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Fantastic Gloves!!!!
By RxMoreCowbell
from San Francisco, CA
These gloves are pretty great! I would say that they're sized a bit smaller than gloves that I'm used to, but I can see them loosen up as I use them more and more and break them in more and more. Great bang for the buck and great for beginners.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Do you want to make more money in 2011? Of course you do. But how do you negotiate a higher salary? And are employers even willing to negotiate?
A CareerBuilder survey found that 31% of employers are willing to negotiate salary increases with their current employees next year. But don't assume just by asking that you'll get that raise.
Before your boss can consider giving you a raise, give him or her a reason to do so. In the survey, employers gave these methods as the most effective:
Just in case you don't get that raise, have some other options in your back pocket. In lieu of raises, employers say they're willing to offer popular perks, including, more flexible hours, bonuses, training and vacation time.Here's a reason why bosses may be more willing to negotiate raises. The survey also found that 43% of employers are worried that their best workers may leave next year as the economy improves.

A couple from the Gresham neighborhood has been charged for the rape of two teenage girls and for forcing them to have sex with other men for money.
Matthew D. Casey, 23, and Kimberly Adams, 28, of the 1700 block of West 80th Street, are charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault and involuntary servitude of a minor, court records show.
Casey allegedly met a 15-year-old girl Jan. 3 at the Garfield Red Line station and choked her until she agreed to come home with him, police wrote in a report. Investigators said he had sex with her three times between Jan. 3 and Saturday, when Casey and Adams were arrested.
Casey forced himself on the 15-year-old girl twice, police said, and Adams held the girl's arms down one of those times. Casey told the girl she was going to work for him as a prostitute, according to police, and threatened to knock her head off her shoulders if she refused.
Police said the girl performed sex acts on four "dates" and gave all the money she received to Adams, who gave it to Casey. Officers also said she wasn't allowed to wear clothing at the couple's apartment and didn't disclose her age.
Meanwhile, police said Casey met a 17-year-old girl on 79th Street on Feb. 1 and invited her home where Casey and Adams forced the girl to have sex with him. Police said Casey forced himself on the girl four or five times and told her she would work as a prostitute, as well. He choked her when she initially refused, according to reports.
One of the girls called 911 Saturday after Casey allegedly threatened to beat her when she didn't come home from a "date" the night before, police said.
They said she told police what happened and that Casey and Adams were at a hotel. The other girl was with the couple when they were arrested.
Casey told police he had sex with the girls but never forced himself on them, and he denied making either girl have sex with men for money. Adams said one of the girls suggested the prostitution and said Casey had nothing to do with it. She said he only wanted to make sure they were safe, and she said the girls gave him $25 per "date" for acting as a bodyguard.
Cook County Judge Israel Desierto ordered Casey held in lieu of $200,000 bail and Adams in lieu of $100,000.

The Word: Katie Couric is engaged
Congratulations to Katie Couric: She and her boyfriend, banker John Molner, got engaged this weekend.
According to People, Molner, 50, popped the question in East Hampton on the beach at sunset, hopefully on Sunday when the weather was actually decent. He and Couric, 56, have been dating for about two years.
They're quite the power couple: Couric's talk show "Katie" returns for a second season next week, and Molner is head of mergers and acquisitions at Brown Brothers Harriman.
It's always a good idea to marry a guy whose job makes him sound like the bad guy in an '80s comedy. You know they can take care of you, because of all the profits from knocking down community centers to build condos.
This will be the TV host's second marriage. She has two children, Ellie, 21, and Carrie, 17, with her first husband, Jay Monahan, who passed away of colon cancer in 1998.

By ALEXIS ZOTOS6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) – The last Vietnam veteran serving in the Tennessee Army National Guard has donned his uniform for the last time.
Born and raised in Oliver Springs, Command Sgt. Maj. Gregory Peck joined the Army at age 17. After more than 40 years of service, he is retiring.
Sgt. Maj. Peck enlisted in 1970 serving as a combat engineer in Vietnam with the 20th Engineer Brigade. For the next 42 years he worked his way up the ranks. Now he retires with the highest rank possible for an enlisted man.
Peck enlisted when he was just shy of his 18th birthday, believing it was something he was meant to do.
"I just feel like I always wanted to do something for somebody," said Sgt. Maj. Peck.
After serving in Vietnam, he spent 10 years in active duty before joining the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment.
"That's all the years I've been in, my rank and all my ribbons," Peck said, describing his dress uniform.
He has decorations for each of the 42 years of service.
"I don't think you plan to stay, who would with some of the things I've been through?" he said.
But those experiences are what make him the soldier so many have looked up to.
"They see somebody they can look up to," Col. Jeff Archer with the 278th Armored Cavalry. "To see someone who has dedicated their life to the service of their country, that has been there, done that, and has come through it and led a lot of them through it."
Col. Archer served with Peck in Iraq in 2005. During that deployment they lost six soldiers.
"His ability to know how they would react and to kind of lead them through that had a tremendous impact on the younger soldiers and still today, he just knows what soldiers are feeling," Col. Archer said.
Peck knows, because he lost men serving in Vietnam.
"It feels like yesterday," he said looking at a faded photograph of several of his fellow soldiers from Vietnam. "You never forget some people, they're always kind of a part of you."
Four decades, three war zones and a life time of service, Command Sgt. Maj. Peck officially retires this Sunday on his 60th birthday.

Many homes and businesses and buildings in Hattiesburg and on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi were damaged or destroyed February 12th. One of the landmarks on the USM campus that took a direct hit wasn't a building, but the All-American Rose Garden.
The rose garden was dedicated in 1974 and for 39 years now has been a showplace of color and beauty every spring through fall in Hattiesburg.
Well, the tornado of February 12 this year centered the rose garden, not only pulling rose bushes out of the ground and sending them who knows where, but piling debris on top of the plants that were left, splitting and breaking many of them.
Loren Erickson is the Superintendent of Landscapes and Grounds at USM and says he was kind of shocked when he saw the condition of the plants after the storm.
"It was pretty bad," said Erickson. "Actually I likened it to a crop circle. I really think it is the closest description. You could actually see the rotation through here at one point. And all the debris piled up."
The students at USM were the major factor in clearing the debris off the roses. But the landscape of the whole area was changed.
Ninety-year-old oaks that had lined Hardy Avenue adjacent to the roses were blown over. And once the area had been cleared, that's when it became apparent the extent of the damage.
"You can see there's a few bare spots still," said Erickson.
But not as many bare spots as there were thanks to the generosity of a couple of rose growers.
"I reached out to a man in Buckatunna. He is Mr. James Mills. He runs K and M Roses, and he grew for a lot of the big companies that have now bought each other and cannibalized and collapsed, said Erickson. "But Mr. James Mills donated the roses that you see behind me here, the ones currently blooming. I was looking for a variety to fill in here, the ones that got sucked out of the ground and I got a hold of the man who owns the patent on knockout rose and drift rose. And by the time the conversation ended after some back and forth he sent us over 500 and it was at no cost and no freight and it was a wonderful gift."
Erickson says give the garden a month or six weeks and it will be well along to becoming the showplace it always has been in spite of the tornado, thanks to the help of some friends.
And you should have no problem enjoying the view as you zip by on Hardy now.

Rihanna soldiered on with a show in France on Wednesday - just hours after she was admitted to hospital.
The Umbrella star was reportedly rushed to a private clinic's accident and emergency department in Zurich after her strenuous performance on Tuesday, but was released again at 2:55am.
Although the clinic wouldn't release any details of the singer's admission, she is thought to have suffered from exhaustion due to her Last Girl On Earth tour.
The 22-year-old was back on fighting form in Lyon, however.
Stunning in a skimpy nude leotard, the songstress bellowed out her hits for one of her 28 European dates.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A state senator wants to take a closer look at the UW's new Human Resource System.
That's after the Legislative Audit Bureau found that the university overpaid $33 million in employee health and retirement benefits in the last fiscal year.
Joint Audit Committee co-chair Rob Cowles of Green Bay said the audit raised concerns about a lack of monitoring and oversight for the UW's fringe benefit payments. Cowles said it reflects a, "recurring trend of fiscal mis-management by the UW System."
But university spokesman David Giroux said the problems have already been resolved. He said UW staffers identified the overpayments, and have adopted new procedures to prevent similar problems in the future.
The complex Human Resource System started operating almost two years ago, and Giroux said the errors took place during what he called a "period of stabilization" for the system.
The audit showed that the UW overpaid $15.5 million for health coverage, including $8 million for over 900 employees who had been fired. The UW was only able to recover $228,000 of the premiums for the fired workers.
The overpayments to the state retirement system were credited back to the university.

"Further to other comments we found this an excellent tile we have just moved house and recently had a new kitchen fitted and used this tile granted they where fitted by a pro tiler but they look great no colour variation as in a previous review. I am now buying some more and I am going to attempt the laundry."
"I have just laid 12 square metres of these tiles in my kitchen and I am very pleased with the results. All tiles were from the same batch with no variation in shade. As with all porcelain tiles a sharp cutting disc is essential but these tiles did cut well. The tiles were consistent and very easy to lay. They have good non-slip qualities and are ideal for the location."
"Just tiled 15sqm in a kitchen diner and it looks awful. The shades on these tiles are so contrasting, we have at least 5 strong variations of shades that they look like different colours altogether, all same batch but different shades in same boxes,if you were to match all tile shades before laying you end up having to open every box and taking a couple from each one and still end up with stripe effects and when you're on the floor tiling checking every single tile before laying is the last thing you need !!! Save your money and time and buy something else these tiles look awful !!!!"

Is it important to state your gender on your TED profile?
I was filling in my TED profile recently and I was struck by the gender category. Is it important to state your gender on your TED profile? Should gender be a category on your TED profile?
Topics: people

Aug 25 2011: I think you see a problem where there isn't one. Everyone can check the gender they feel comfortable with not necessary what is written in the documents.
My guess is TED uses this info for statistics and it facilitates contact with the users.
sorry but it seems to me as such a first-world-problem.
Aug 27 2011: Hi Marcin,
You live in a beautiful place. My niece has just moved there. I have two questions for you
(1) How could gender facilitate contact with users? Surely whether your male or female would have no bearing on this.
(2) What do you mean by a first world problem?
I look forward to the answer.)

There's a lot of excitement in Nevada, thanks to the decision by electric automaker Tesla Motors to build a $5 billion factory there instead of four other possible states. Tesla said that it will bring some 6,500 new jobs to the state, a pretty impressive number.
But there's no such thing as a free lunch or, in this case, a free launch. The state is spending an enormous amount on subsidies to help lure Tesla to its borders -- around a half a billion dollars, according to press reports. That's many times bigger than the state's biggest previous deal $89 million for Apple. Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence has shed doubt on the value of these giveaways to draw business.
During my time as Oregon's secretary of state, I came to the conclusion that America's two main political parties were imprecisely named. What we really have is an "anti-government" party and an "anti-anti-government" party. This attitudinal divide is especially evident when it comes to the issue of public-employee compensation.
Those in the anti-government camp like to cite studies such as the one published monthly by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. "Government Workers Cost More than 45% More than Private Sector Workers," is the headline one commentator recently gave to this study.
A single silver lining in the Department of Veterans Affairs' health-care scandal may be the teaching moment the disclosure of the agency's failures has provided. Thoughtful public managers at all levels of government are pausing to reflect and consider how -- or if -- such a pattern of poor performance, cover-up and mistreatment of whistleblowers could happen in their agencies. My experience suggests that under the wrong conditions, any public agency can slide into habits that treat those it serves with indifference and find ways to falsely claim competence and success.
The appointment of a new veterans' affairs secretary from a corporation with a textbook reputation for inculcating a culture of high performance, competence and customer service is a good first step. Yet Proctor & Gamble's disciplined corporate culture was built over decades and is sustained by selecting, mentoring and promoting leaders at all levels who have internalized that culture.
For all of the interest and excitement surrounding current efforts to expand performance management in government, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the concept was born in the past decade or two. Yet today's innovative approaches to finding ways to deliver public services more efficiently -- from proliferating "stat" programs to powerful data-analytics tools -- have their roots in research going back to the early part of the last century.
The early work of ICMA, the International City/County Management Association, in measuring the efficiency of municipal services, for example, was so well received that it served as one of many catalysts to the development of public-sector performance-management approaches. We published the first in a series of 14 articles focused on "economies," or ways to improve performance in a variety of local-government areas, in Public Management magazine back in July 1932. Five years later, graduate student (and eventual Nobel laureate) Herbert A. Simon, along with then-ICMA executive director Clarence Ridley, authored an article titled "Technique of Appraising Standards," the first in a series on management standards in city administration.
According to a recent issue of City Journal California, "fixing L.A.'s century-old water pipes, [said the] Department of Water and Power, could take up to 300 years." That wasn't a typographical error. In a model of understatement, the senior assistant general manager of the DWP said, "That's probably longer than we would like it to be."
The DWP has come under assault in auditors' reports for overspending, overcompensating and underperforming "relative to other utility companies," reported City Journal. But we don't want to delve into the obstacles to fixing those pipes or castigate anyone in California for the awful mess its pipes are in. Rather, we'd like to simply offer our opinion that a target date three centuries away represents a timeline that has dubious value. Good luck, California.

Regrabbing for the bullpen
Today's re-grabbers - Jason Frasor and Kiko Calero
The case for additional bullpen help: starting from the top: Our closer, Mr. Marmol, is capable of paralyzing hitters. The problem is, it could be temporary paralysis due to slider, or permanent paralysis due to fastball in temple. Our set up man, Mr. Guzman, is fragile, currently injured, and relatively stupid. Our lefties, Mr. Marshall and Mr. Grabow, aren't really anything special, outside of being lefties. Every one else I can name has less than one year experience in the majors.
The case for Mr. Calero: he may not pass a physical on his shoulder. However, he has a superior ERA, strikeout/walk ratio, and every other relief indicator the last two plus seasons. Training camps have started, and this man, who finished last year with an ERA under 2, is still on the outside looking in. In a way, it appears this guy is a throwback to a simpler time. His shoulder hurts, dammit, but he still takes the ball and pitches well. Before the Age of Scrutiny, someone would just sign the guy to a contract and let him pitch.
Yes, this is a franchise who has been burned lately by lame pitchers. It appears though that we are not the only team to suffer this misfortune. Mr. Calero seemed to think that his past two years entitled him to a similar two-year commitment by his new team, for mucho dolores. But, he has overestimated his worth. At this point, he is likely to accept a decent one-year deal. His new team will have to pay a few million dollars for one year, for a man whose arm may or may not fall off his shoulder. But when you consider we are paying Silva the Hutt 14 million dollars American for the next two years, is what Calero wants really that big of a deal?
The case for Mr. Frasor: Jason Frasor has performed in, to the casual fan, anonymity for 5+ years in Toronto, and performed well, if not spectacularly. This is his 'contract year', and he would probably command a lot of money in the open market for his somewhat above average performance. Toronto does not appear to be willing anymore to overpay for relievers.
Mr. Frasor is a local boy who would look good in pinstripes. But I must admit, my interest in him isn't so much based on his own prowess, as it is based on the fact that Frasor would have to be acquired in trade, and that trade could and should include one of our young relievers, and one of my favorite players, Micah (first you get the moneey, then you get the) Hoffpauir. The Hoff really doesn't fit for us anymore, now that we have Nady, apparently keeping Fontenot (??), and most likely keeping either Chad Tracy and/or Cowboy Millar. (My money is on Millar, since he might be the only person on the team who may have seen Uncle Lou actually play, and those two can sit around in their tightie whities and reminisce about the old days). Meanwhile, for some reason, the Hoff seems like a Blue Jay to me, he always did. He may thrive there.
Prognosis: you will see a trade before you see Hendry roll dice on Calero. Hopefully that trade includes the Hoff and does not include too many real prospects.

Festive Thanksgiving Foods on a Liquid Diet?
Good Questions
Q: My mother recently underwent some pretty extensive oral surgery. As a result, she can only eat soft foods. As you can imagine this gets old after about 2 days. She's going to be on this diet for 8 weeks at least. That includes Thanksgiving. I am trying to think of a good dish I can make and bring to our family gathering for her since she won't be able to eat a lot of the food there, including the turkey. Because of that, I'd like to be able to include something with some protein in it so it's filling. Any suggestions?
Sent by Jamie
Editor: Jamie, how rough for your mom! Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery! As far as Thanksgiving goes, soup is obviously going to be involved, but can she also manage mashed potatoes? You could make potatoes with turkey stock for flavor and protein, for instance. Also, try these soups:
• Recipe: Sweet Potato Soup with Miso and Ginger
• Seasonal Recipe: Pumpkin Soup with Bacon
Readers, any suggestions for Jamie's mom?

Turkey Pate!
I had my mouth wired shut for 8 weeks in college and managed to GAIN weight. So go easy on the cream....
Just made a yummy butternut squash soup w/ balsamic. You could replace some or all of the cream with pureed white beans or lentils for more protein.
Have you tried the Trader Joe's tomato red pepper soup? It's actually really yummy.
a few weeks ago there was a post on this website for a pumpkin pasta casserole and it was awesome (i made it ASAP). what about something like that? or maybe a thanksiving fritatta?
This carrot soup I linked below is AMAZING. I have made it twice so far it was a huge hit each time. It really has some good flavors that I associate with the holiday season.
@JudiAU- That's impressive! I was also wired shut for 8 weeks in HS. They made me gain wait before the surgery.
Anyway, you can blend just about everything. But, since it sounds like she can do soft things, what about meat in the slow cooker. It falls to pieces right?
I just recently made this roasted sweet potato and carrot soup. To get some texture, I topped it with roasted and salted pumpkin seeds. It'd be perfect for Thanksgiving day.
So its not thanksgiving but this smoothie really helped me get through a similar experience---peanut butter(smooth--and not natural those bits are horrible), yogurt, chocolate sauce, ice, milk, blend. There are 3 major protein sources---peanut butter, yogurt and milk. You could always try a pumpkin or apple butter version instead of chocolate. Also I've seen pudding versions that use silken tofu for vegans, that might work out nicely for protein.
I recently had surgery and came off a six week liquid diet a couple weeks ago. I thanked heaven that during that time TheKitchn posted this soup on the site:
Also, I made Alice Water's Simple Vegetable Soup from her Art of Simple Food like 5 times.
My dad had pancreatitis one year and could only have liquids. Not fancy or gourmet, but cranberry jell-o made him feel festive. My aunt even made the "jigglers" shaped like turkeys. But here's a hearty soup recipe, that's still sippable.
If she can digest something like shredded chicken or turkey, pop some into squash/veg soup- so good, and it's all my BF could eat for almost two weeks when he got his (seriously impacted) wisdom teeth out. I changed up the mix of veg (sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, onion, sometimes chickpeas) sauteed them with butter and a bit of brown sugar, and let it boil down with a bunch of curry or other spices, then blend, and toss in some chicken- and if it's too thick, a bit of stock makes it less viscous. So so good, drinkable from a cup (!!!) and totally worth it- he still asks for it when he wants something homey.
I've made a soup with potatoes, sausage and kale. Of course the kale is in strips and wouldn't be good for your mom. So you should make the soup just as a potato soup with sausage like choriso and blend it up. Maybe add some spinach to before you puree, might be a nicer thing to blend in than kale. This is the link, which you could modify http://leitesculinaria.com/7580/recipes-portuguese-kale-soup-caldo-verde.html
For T-giving last year, I made a curried squash soup with -- bonus -- scallops in the bottom of the bowl. Wonderfully rich and delicious!
The italian dish blog (one of my favorites) has an awesome tuscan white bean soup. It's hearty, delicious, and drinkable! :) Not thanksgiving flavors per se, but definitely fall.
ha, this reminds me of when I had my wisdom teeth out the day before Thanksgiving! I was so hungry and my family wasn't willing to sacrifice their "normal" turkey dinner that I swallowed everything whole. Don't think it did much harm! : ) Who needs chewing anyway...
When you eat both beans and whole grains, as well as other combos of foods, your body creates complete proteins from elements of both. So you might not need to worry about including meat. Silken tofu lends itself well to liquid as well. It can be blended into soups, smoothies, puddings, etc. I think some sort of bisque would work. If she has no nut allergies, there are some vegan nut-cheese sauces you could work with too.
Pumpkin soup, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes sound like good options for a thanksgiving dinner. Pumpkin pie without crust should also be soft. I don't think there's a way to get around soup though.
Whatever you do, don't just blend a meal. I was in a car accident as a teen and had all my teeth knocked out. I had to get surgery to put them back in but I couldn't eat solid food for a couple of months. The doctor gave me a pamphlet that suggested I blend solid pizza or hamburgers with water. I lived off of Ensure and jello instead.
Good luck to your mom!
red lentils are full of protein and you can puree them to make for an ultra-smooth soup. endless flavor combos too. you could take it spicy with "curry" spices, or mediterranean with lemon/garlic, or simple with tomato and saffron...
I make a crab imperial that is super soft and quite fancy looking
Oodles of protein too.

The Center for Bone Health at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was established to provide coordinated, comprehensive care to children with bone health concerns. This includes children with evidence of weak bones — those who have had multiple fractures or who have low bone mineral density — and children who are at risk for weak bones because of such factors as immobility, modified/restricted diets or chronic steroid use.
The Center for Bone Health at CHOP is the only pediatric bone center in the region providing both clinical care and bone densitometry (DXA) interpretation. CHOP is already recognized as a leader in the field of pediatric bone research and has the enthusiastic support and collaboration from many divisions within the Hospital.
The Bone Health outpatient service allows patients to see multiple providers (physician, dietitian and physical therapist) all on one day, in one visit, and in the same outpatient setting. The patients undergo a complete evaluation, which consists of a medical assessment by a physician, nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian and physical activity/motor evaluation by a physical therapist. A comprehensive plan of care is put together for each patient, consisting of necessary lab tests, nutrition interventions, physical activity recommendations and follow-up care as needed.
In addition to our outpatient services, we also offer inpatient consultation services.
To refer patients to the Center for Bone Health, the referring physician and/or the patient's parent should contact the program coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 1-877-972-BONE (2663).

In 1830, PORT ARTHUR was selected to host a prison settlement on the "natural penitentiary" of the Tasman Peninsula, its narrow "gate" at Eaglehawk Neck guarded by dogs. It was intended for convicts who committed serious crimes in New South Wales or Van Diemen's Land after transportation; men who were seen to have no redeeming features and were treated accordingly. The regime was never a subtle one: Van Diemen's Land Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur believed that a convict's "whole fate should be… the very last degree of misery consistent with humanity", though his aim was for "grinding rogues honest" rather than punitive punishment. The first 150 convicts established a timber industry, then Port Arthur became a self-supporting centre of industry, with shipbuilding, brickmaking, shoemaking, even agriculture. In a separate prison for boys at Point Puer, inmates were taught trades. Meanwhile, prison officers and their families enjoyed gardens, a drama club, a library and regular cricket.
After transportation ended, psychological punishment replaced physical. The Model Prison, based on Pentonville Prison in London, opened in 1852. Prisoners were held in tiny cells in complete isolation and silence, always referred to by numbers and hooded whenever they left their cells. The idea represented progressive penal ideas that let convicts contemplate their misdeeds (hence the "model" title), but by the time Port Arthur closed in 1877 it had its own mental asylum full of ex-convicts, as well as a geriatric home for ex-convict paupers. An excellent interpretive centre in the visitor centre provides detail on the prison's history through artefacts and texts, and there's more fascinating information in the older museum, housed in what was the asylum.
Popularized by Marcus Clarke's romantic tragedy For the Term of His Natural Life, Port Arthur received visitors as soon as the prison closed, with guided tours offered by former inmates. Today, the Port Arthur Historic Site is the most popular tourist attraction in the state. It houses more than sixty buildings, some of which – like the poignant prison chapel – are furnished and restored. Others, like the ivy-covered church, are picturesque ruins set in a landscape of green lawns, shady trees and paths sloping down to the cove. The beautiful setting makes it look more like a serene, old-world university campus than a prison.Read More
Adventure on the Tasman Peninsula
Adventure on the Tasman Peninsula
While Port Arthur is the major attraction, the wild peninsula is worth a visit in its own right, especially for its bushwalks and superb south and eastern coastline. Some of the finest coastal features are around Eaglehawk Neck: just to the north of the superb arc of sand is the Tessellated Pavement, onto which you can climb down at low tide; and to the south, off the highway, a Blowhole which works in big swells, the huge Tasman Arch and the Devils Kitchen, a sheer rock cleft into which the sea surges. Much of this area is designated the Tasman National Park; the Tasman Trail is an exhilarating 16km coastal walk that starts from the Devils Kitchen and ends at Fortescue Bay, which has a good camping area (otherwise, the bay is 12km down a dirt road east off the Arthur Highway). The coastline south around Cape Huay (4hr return from campsite) is more stunning still. You can download walking notes for the Tasman Trail from the NPWS website. South of Port Arthur, walking tracks begin from Remarkable Cave: to Crescent Bay (5hr return), Mount Brown (5hr return) and Maingon Blowhole (3hr return). With your own transport, walks from Highcroft west to Cape Raoul and Shipstern's Bluff (both 5hr return) are recommended.
For many visitors an eco-cruise by Tasman Island Cruises (daily 10am, Dec–May also 2pm; 3hr; $100; t03/6250 2200, whttp://www.tasmancruises.com.au) rates on a par with Port Arthur. A high-speed boat jets down the coast from Pirates Bay or Port Arthur, hugging the 190m cliffs and surging into sea-caves of the southern Tasman Peninsula – expect to see and learn about giant kelp, jellyfish, sea eagles, the seals on Tasman Island and, if you're lucky, dolphins and even whales (usually late Nov, early Dec) – highly recommended. Full-day tours go from Hobart (from $165) and include visits to Port Arthur or the Devil Centre at Taranna; visit the cruise centre in Hobart on Franklin Wharf by Constitution Dock. Eaglehawk Dive Centre, 178 Pirates Bay Drive (t03/6250 3566, whttp://www.eaglehawkdive.com.au), offers dive-boat charters (equipment included) at low rates to caves, shipwrecks, kelp forests and nearby seal colonies, with an underwater visibility of 15–30m.

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) - Work on rebuilding a 140-year-old building damaged by fire in Brattleboro, Vt., has been delayed because of financing issues.
The five-story Brooks House on Main Street was burned on April 17, 2011. It housed 10 businesses and about 60 people. Tropical Storm Irene also flooded the building.
The Brattleboro Reformer reports a group of investors in charge of restoring the building is still trying to get the financing together. The group had helped to close on the building at the end of last year, but now it is looking at later in the first quarter of this year.
The renovated building is expected to include apartments, an educational complex and businesses.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell Monday as worries flared anew about the European debt crisis.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down five points at 13,270 at 2:40 p.m. EDT. The Standard & Poor's 500 was off one point at 1,417. And the Nasdaq composite index was down almost five points at 3,072.
In a monthly report issued Monday, the German central bank reiterated doubts about having the European Central Bank buy bonds to help struggling European economies. It stressed that such purchases could carry "substantial risks."
Earlier this month, stocks rallied after ECB President Mario Draghi said the bank might buy government bonds of some European countries to lower their borrowing costs. In comments last week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had seemed to soften her stance to the idea.
In the U.S., Lowe's, the world's No. 2 home improvement store, missed earnings expectations Monday. Revenue at stores open at least a year dipped 0.4 percent, and the company cut its outlook for the year. The stock fell 6 percent.
The most valuable company in the world, Apple, became the most valuable company of all time, with a market value of $621 billion, surpassing Microsoft's record from 1999. Apple is worth twice as much the second-most valuable company, Exxon-Mobil Corp.
Apple stock rose Monday by $15.54, or 2.2 percent, to $650.05.
Stocks have been inching up for six weeks. On Friday, both the Dow and the S&P closed just below four-year highs.
Other stocks moving sharply Monday included health insurer Aetna, which announced it would buy Coventry Health Care for $5.7 billion as the insurance industry realigns itself to better navigate the health care overhaul.
Aetna rose $1.96, or 5 percent, to $40. Coventry climbed $6.861, or 20 percent, to $41.80.
The deal follows the $4.46 billion buyout last month of another insurer by WellPoint Inc., and last year's acquisition worth nearly $4 billion by Cigna of HealthSpring as it grabbed for a share of Medicare revenue.
Best Buy slid 8 percent after rejecting an offer from its founder and largest shareholder to take the electronics retailer private. The company named Hubert Joly, the former head of global hospitality company Carlson and a turnaround expert, as CEO Monday.
Facebook gained 85 cents, or 4.5 percent, to $19.90, following a slide last week after some insiders were able to sell stock for the first time since the company's public trading debut in May. The stock is down about half from its offering price of $38.
In the S&P 500, seven of the 10 main industry groups fell, led by a 0.8 percent drop in telecommunications stocks.
In Europe, stocks fell. Greek stocks fell 2 percent. Spain's main index was off 1 percent.
Investors are on edge this week because of a series of meetings among European leaders to discuss the debt crisis. The first of them came early Monday when the Greek foreign minister met with his German counterpart in Berlin to discuss Greek spending cuts necessary for the country to continue receiving bailout money.
With many traders and investors on vacation, volume on the New York Stock Exchange was light, at about 2 billion shares with an hour of trading to go. The daily average three months ago was 3.8 billion.

Jaundice in Newborns (Hyperbilirubinemia)
Topic Overview
What is jaundice in newborns?
Jaundice is a condition that makes a newborn's skin and the white part of the eyes look yellow. It happens because there is too much bilirubin in the baby's blood (hyperbilirubinemia). Bilirubin is a substance that is made when the body breaks down old red blood cells.
Jaundice usually is not a problem. But in rare cases, too much bilirubin in the blood can cause brain damage (kernicterus). This can lead to hearing loss, intellectual disability, and behavior problems.
In healthy babies, some jaundice almost always appears by 2 to 4 days of age. It usually gets better or goes away on its own within a week or two without causing problems.
In breast-fed babies, mild jaundice sometimes lasts until 10 to 14 days after birth. In some breast-fed babies, it goes away and then comes back. Jaundice may last throughout breast-feeding. This isn't usually a problem as long as the baby gets enough milk by being fed at regular times.
Your doctor probably will ask you to keep checking your baby at home to make sure the jaundice is going away. Your baby will need a follow-up exam within the first 5 days after birth. Call your doctor if the yellow color gets brighter after your baby is 3 days old.
What causes jaundice in newborns?
Jaundice occurs because your baby's body has more bilirubin than it can get rid of. Bilirubin is made when the body breaks down old red blood cells. It leaves the body through urine and stool. During pregnancy, your body removes bilirubin from your baby through the placenta. After birth, your baby's body must get rid of the bilirubin on its own.
Breast-fed newborns can become dehydrated easily if feedings are spaced too far apart. This lack of enough milk in the body makes it harder for your baby to get rid of wastes such as bilirubin. Also, some of the things that make up breast milk can change the way the body removes bilirubin.
In rare cases, too much bilirubin may be caused by infections, a problem with the baby's digestive system, or a problem with the mom's and baby's blood types (Rh incompatibility). Your baby may have one of these problems if jaundice appears less than a day after birth.
What are the symptoms?
Jaundice can make your baby's skin and the white part of the baby's eyes look yellow. You may see the yellow color between 1 and 4 days after birth. It shows up first in the baby's face and chest. Babies who have bilirubin levels that are too high may have a high-pitched cry. They also may be sluggish and cranky.
How is jaundice in newborns diagnosed?
Your baby's doctor will do a physical exam and ask you questions. The doctor may ask about:
A blood test for bilirubin may be done to find out if your baby needs treatment.
More tests may be done if the doctor thinks that a health problem is causing too much bilirubin in the blood.
How is it treated?
Most of the time no treatment is needed for jaundice, because it usually goes away on its own. If you are breast-feeding, you may be able to help reduce the jaundice by feeding your baby about 8 to 12 times a day.
Sometimes babies with jaundice are put under a type of fluorescent light. This is called phototherapy. The skin absorbs the light. This changes the bilirubin so that the body can more easily get rid of it in the stool and urine. The treatment is usually done in a hospital. But babies sometimes are treated at home.
If a health problem caused the jaundice, your baby may need other treatment.

What's the benefit of this over GV Mobile? I guess GV Mobile requires a jailbroken iPhone...
Yeah, just jailbreak your iPhone. Problem Solved.
as a constant user of google voice for free texts, with push notificaiton with voiceprowl, i have tested GV mobile +, the google web app, and black swan today....with regards to speed it seems that the black swan is faster, then the google webapp, then GV mobile +
Unfortunately, GV is still not available outside the US! When are they going to make it available???
GV mobile + is the best. I tested out blackswan yesterday and liked that it saves texts offline, but I think that it's too slow. Still GV mobile + for me.
I'm wondering what is the benefits of google voice?
Doesn't it use your minutes and data anyhow and such? What do I gain in having it? Thanks.
The main benefit of having GV is that you have one number that you give out. This one number is associated with your home, work, cell, etc. You control who calls you and which calls rings which phones. Basically it's a way to forward calls. Another benefit is free text messages. Right now MMS isn't supported.
All in all, GV is great for someone who has more than one or two numbers. You can manage them all using GV.

Brie - It is very, VERY common for there to be no at 6w0d. You have a yolk sac and fetal pole so you should be good. Don't count yourself out yet. I have known many women who have not seen the until 7w so try to not lose hope!
If they check your betas again, and they are good, please wait befre schedulng your D&C. i wish you the best of luck!
Thanks ladies, i will KUP on what happens, i am still struggling to find out if our insurance is changing for 2011, praying that they took the max limit off and i will have more money to keep trying. I figure af should be her the 12th unless by some miracle i got pg on my own this cycle, so i will start the clomid then!!
Trying to figure out the ticker thing, sorry if this doesn't work!
Well....it's a miracle. We saw a healthy heartbeat on Sunday. Thanks for the good advice - wish I had seen it before now. My RE was very concerned about the lack of heartbeat last Thursday (only gave me a 20 percent shot we would hear it after Thursday), but that little baby heart was thumping at 127 BPM yesterday morning! Best sound ever.
I go back on Friday for another ultrasound (7 weeks 1 day), and will probably stay with my RE until 8 weeks. I haven't spotted in a few days, and am starting to be less terrified.
Brie--so glad to read that update!!
Formerly villagespin
Ok ladies so as some of you know in July we had an ectopic that I had the left tube removed for after STC #2. Last cycle 10/04 after about 1.5 weeks of follistim dominant follicle on left no measurable on right so we busted the cycle. Now cycle day 36 and no sign of AF so I took a HPT and it come back +. What the heck is going on here. I have no left tube. Going in for beta on Thurs as this is my first day off work this week but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Edit/Delete Message
Sorry got a little carried away lol.
PS: Sorry for your AF today Karen
Hi ladies,
Just an update, i ordered my meds today for the IUI cycle, i was hoping that we did it ourselves this month, i have been so warm, my temps have actually gone up from 97.88 yesterday (And that was after i got up and peed) to 97.93 today with not getting up, but i got a bfn on a 6 day first response at 10dpo yesterday, so i am guessing that it did not work. Hopefully this IUI works and we finally get a sticky bean. I will keep you ladies updated!!
Good Luck Chris!
Had my 2nd IUI yesterday. Post was count was 14 million, hopefully this is it for us.
Well ladies, today is cycle day one for me, i go in on monday for day 3 b/w and u/s and i start the clomid, we should be doing the IUI right around Thanksgiving, and should know if we have a little Christmas miracle a couple of weeks before Christmas. I am praying so hard that this IUI works and we get a super sticky bean. I will keep you updated, and any prayers or crossed items are appreciated
I...can't....believe it...I got a BFP!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in shock right now. I've waited so long
Since I started charting with Fertility Friend I noticed my temps were pretty erratic. I looked for other charts that looked similar and they were almost all pregnancy charts. Sunday I had 3 days in a row of headaches (which I never get) that were only at the end of the day (another weird thing). So I decided to take a test. I waited while the urine moved across the screen and began to see two almost invisible lines and I said "No..." then they both got just a bit darker and I said "not uhhhh". I was peering around at all angles to change the lighting thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me. Then they were both plain as day. I'm still in shock and can't believe it. This is the first time I've ever gotten to win at this game lol.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The leader of the National Action Network says the appointment of an Emergency Financial Manager would undermine the will of the people.
The Reverend Al Sharpton told a radio audience that voters elected the city leadership knowing they were facing a financial crisis. The local branch of National Action Network is one of several organizations that have vowed to fight the appointment of an Emergency Manager in court.
Governor Rick Snyder concluded the city was facing financial emergency after reviewing the report of a commission that found Detroit is facing an estimated 327-million-dollar deficit.
