What is a proper Pulled Pork Sandwich?
- JuniorBalloon Jul 29, 2011 01:40 PM
I'm not sure I've ever had one. A proper one that is. I had one yesterday that was terrible. Dry pork (pretty sure it was boston butt) with no real spice or smoke flavor on a very wimpy bun. If not for the sauce it would have had no taste at all. As I was talking to a friend about it I realized I didn't really know what a proper or traditional Pulled Pork sandwhich should be. What part of the pig is used? What are the spices. How is it cooked? What kind of bun? I realize there are probably 50 ways to make one, but there must be one that is considered the Mother recipe.
re: ferret
Thanks that was a good start. What kinds of spices are used?
I'm a member of the bbq-brethren.com on line community, an incredible group of bbq competitors and enthusiasts. There, the overwhelming consensus is that pulled pork is almost always pork butt and occasionally shoulder. The meat is liberally coated with a rub for flavor and bark, and cooked on low or medium heat until a skewer inserted goes in like buttah. It might be injected with apple cider and seasoning though usually not. The meat is frequently smoked in an open foil pan which may be covered late in the cook. The collected juices may be defatted and mixed with cider vinegar, red pepper flakes and other seasonings before being added into the pulled meat. To sauce or not beyond that is up to personal taste, though if it's prepared well there is no need for sauce in my opinion. I like it served any number of ways.
re: Cameraman
isn't pork butt and shoulder the same cut?
re: thew
Not technically.
A more fuller explanation:
"What is commonly sold as a "pork butt" or "Boston butt" are the same cut of meat--the top portion of what is considered the "whole shoulder" of the hog. This cut is very marbled and often sold skinless, with a large portion of fat on top. The "butt" can be sold boneless or bone-in, and weighs on average between 6 lbs. and 9 lbs. bone-in, or between 4 lbs. and 7 lbs. boneless. In comparison, the "shoulder roast" or "pork picnic" is the lower portion of the shoulder below the joint and above the shank (leg). It is smaller than the "pork butt" and also contains more fat, bone and connective tissue. It is often sold complete with skin and is rarely sold boneless. These smaller roasts usually weigh between 4 to 5 lbs."

re: ipsedixit
Interestingly, in my neck of the woods, I can only regularly find whole shoulders, with skin, weighing between 9-13 lbs. I just learned how to properly make cracklings from the skin, so no loss.
re: jmcarthur8
Before I got my Weber Smokey Mountain I smoked a slew of butts offset in my Weber kettle. It takes a little work to keep the fire regulated but it's a great introduction to fire and smoke.
re: redfish62
Pulled pork is only as good as the care and effort put into it. I hope this helps because it's an art well worth perfecting. Have fun and make it your own! http://www.smoking-meat.com/pulled-po...
We take pork shoulder rub it with an array of spice including brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, etc. Let it sit overnight in the fridge then slow mesquite smoke in an electric smoker for up to 18 hours. Then we pull it apart toss it with our chiptle bbq sauce put in on a homemade roll with coleslaw on it. It is yummy!!
If by "proper" you mean "traditional North Carolina style," a basic definition is pork shoulder cooked over hardwood, seasoned with a vinegar-based sauce or dip and piled on a squishy white hamburger bun and topped with coleslaw.
Reputable pitmasters may cook directly over the fire at up to 280 degrees or so; my home method is low and slow, 225-230, for up to 18 hours depending on the size and number of shoulders. I use mesquite lump charcoal and hickory (mesquite burns hot but I have taught myself how to get it and keep it low over the years- it's the highest-quality lump in my area).
The sauce/dip may be nothing more than vinegar, salt and red and black pepper, perhaps sugar (Eastern NC style), or contain ketchup as well (western, Piedmont or Lexington style). In South Carolina and elsewhere, mustard is a favored ingredient.
The slaw may or may not contain mayonnaise, and in the west they double down on the ketchup factor by adding the sauce to the slaw ("barbecue slaw').
The generic, squishy white bun is absolutely key. To quote John Shelton Reed and Dale Volberg Reed, authors of an excellent scholarly tome on the topic, "Holy Smoke:"
"There's not much to be said about the bread, except don't get fancy. You want a cheap, commercial white bread bun...The bread's role is mostly structural. It's just a medium; the barbecue is the message."
The sandwiches for dinner at my house tonight will consist of shoulder I barbecued for about 13hrs then pulled (with the exception of the"money muscle," which I chunk and serve separately), a slaw which includes mayo, and Piedmont-Lexington style dip from Jim Early's "The Best Tar Heel Barbecue," on store-brand hamburger buns.
re: Pius Avocado III
No I don't live in the south. :) BBQ up in this corner of the world is most often disparaged by southern transplants. I have a CharGriller offset and have cooked ribs low and slow, but have yet to try a larger piece of meat. Well that's not entirely true, I did cook a whole pig last year in a home made china box, but that is an entirely different technique. I was looking for a traditional recipe that I could start with and modify to my liking. I realize that "traditional" is a moving target and it can change from state to state, region to region, hell even from street to street. It's just a starting point. There seems to be some commonalities. Low and slow, the cut of meat, spice rub, cheap white bun topped with coleslaw and some kind of sauce. Seems the main piece that can be played with is the spice rub. I was hoping to get some more specific recipes. When I first did ribs I slathered them in store bought BBQ sauce. I have now been working on a rub that I use sans sauce. Below is the ingredients from the link above in shecrab's post.
1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
1 cup Paprika
1/2 cup Celery Salt
2 Tbsps. Granulated Garlic
1/2 Tbsp. Mustard Powder
1/2 Tbsp. White Pepper
1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
2 tsps. Ground Thyme
1/2 tsp. Salt
For my taste that's a whole lotta paprika. Here's my current rub.
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp ancho chili powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp chili peper flakes.
This makes enough for one large baby back rib. I have yet to try making my own BBQ sauce or a mop sauce. Are mop sauces and dipping sauces the same thing?
re: JuniorBalloon
"Dip" is just a Tar Heel word for sauce- you definitely would not want to mop with it alone, although I've diluted my Piedmont-style sauce with apple juice and mopped with that. Another good trick is to put some of your rub in apple juice for the mop.
Somewhat lazily, I have been using Plow Boys commercially-available rub on my butts of late. When I do my own it typically consists of coarse salt (red Hawaiian when I have it- you should see the color that gets you on the bark), turbinado sugar, fresh coarsely ground black pepper and Aleppo pepper.
Paul Kirk's "Championship Barbecue" has a base sauce that would be a good place to start- his bare bones are a good starting point for your own variations.
The money muscle is a strip of loin on the narrow end of a butt opposite the blade- it is markedly tastier than the rest of the shoulder and because it is on the exterior also has the best bark.
re: Pius Avocado III
So a mopping sauce should be much more watery than a BBQ sauce. Got it.
I'll take a look at Pul Kirk's site.
re: Pius Avocado III
Also meant to ask, what is the "money muscle"?
re: JuniorBalloon
JB you really need to poke around at www.bbq-brethren.com. All your questions and those you didn't you had will be answered. I guarantee it.
re: Cameraman
I've regged, I'll poke around. Thanks.
re: Pius Avocado III
Whole hog in eastern NC, shoulders past Raleigh. "Dip" is Lexington lingo. And no one says "pulled pork", it's just barbecue.
re: Pius Avocado III
+1 on everything Pius said. I have learned this from Mr. travelmad478, who is a NC native, and believes that the above-described sandwich is the only thing that one can refer to as "barbecue." I disagree, and think the NC-style pulled pork sandwich on a cheap hamburger bun with BBQ slaw dumped on it is pretty nasty, but there you go. I'm from New Jersey.
Obviously expecting anything but mediocre-to-bad food from Subway is foolish, but the commercials for their new pulled pork sub really take the cake. Lettuce, tomato and onion? Really, Subway?

An energy policy to win the White House
Both major political parties are letting our best chance for fuel independence slip away.
It's not "Drill, baby, drill." It's "Use, baby, use."
We've got a phenomenal disconnect between what the political parties are saying about our oil and gas reserves and what the reality may be.
When President Barack Obama talks about energy, he always mentions that we can't solve the problem of high gasoline prices by drilling for oil in this country. We can only hope that, long term, through conservation, solar, wind and other renewables, that we can bring down the cost of energy.
When I hear the Republicans talk, they put our energy problems squarely on the unwillingness of the Democrats to allow drilling on federal lands, saying that if we could get to that land, we would indeed produce enough oil to affect pricing.
Both sides are totally wrong.
Related Articles
The president is wrong when he says we can't bring the price of oil down in the short term, because we could. We just need to use more natural gas as an alternative. We've got the most natural gas in the world. It is cheap, and it can offset pricey diesel, currently the preferred fuel for trucks, which use a quarter of oil imports. Anything that encourages a switch to natural gas, any incentives, would bring down the price of oil within a year or two.
The Republicans are totally wrong about how much oil is in this country. The federal lands are not bountiful reserves of oil. Not even the pristine lands of the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve. The biggest finds are on private lands. While huge, they are not going to be able to offset the imported oil we use. When combined with stepped-up production of dirty Canadian tar sands crude, they can make us less dependent on the oil from countries we can't depend on. But no oil person I speak to believes that federal land drilling is even important in the equation. That's just politics.
What would be important is a straight-out endorsement by either party of natural gas as our preferred bridge fuel. Its abundance is unquestionable, as we know from the price of the fuel. We do have the technology to use it. If we don't use it, we will lose it to other countries. It is cleaner and cheaper than oil, yet both parties have set up oil at the fulcrum of the debate. It is a completely false dichotomy embraced in diametrically opposed camps, and unfortunately it obscures our main chance for energy independence.
I think the party that gets natural gas right can win the White House. The theme is that powerful. But neither party does, so the opportunity is lost in a tidal wave of obfuscation and ignorance on both sides of the aisle.

President Obama still has some months to go before the election.
He has already mentioned Natural gas when he needed to get a rise out of his followers, so sometime around September or Octobers, he will have a big push for natural gas that will go through to the first Tuesday in November.
The only problem will be, he won't act on it if re-elected. It will die a lonely death when he turns his back on it after he comes back from his November vacation.
it is oblunder and all his oil buddies driving up the price of gas ! Oh i am sorry that was Bush
and his oil buddies Cramer you have made me some money but your a democrot and that
is all you will ever be. You fit right in with jessie jackson, al the sharp sharpton, nancy polousy, chuckie smuckemer and the rev faracon ozone al , and all the other leftioes
Natural gas is too easy.. The big bucks want to cash in on subsidies!
All over this country people are having hundreds, even thousands of 500 foot turbines. That's 50 stories and the top 30 stories are rotating! Groups are forming to fight this but many areas are already devastated. Ridgelines with hundreds of 50 story turbines that will NEVER be removed, the trees never replaced, the freeway sized roads never replanted.
The Republicans should jump on this and get the many, many people fighting this on their side.
Rates go up and tax dollars are stolen for GREED energy.
Here we go again. Shale gas and shale oil need TREMENDOUS volumes of water to process. It takes 3-5 barrels of water per barrel of oil and 5-9 MILLION gallons of water to frack each and every gas well. So its really about water. How is the American west doing right now water wise? Problems you say? Just wait. Then there is the disposal of this nice, clean fracking waste. Holding ponds the size of large lakes exist in Alberta, Pennsyvania, Wyoming etc. Nice stuff.Then there's the depletion rates no one ever mentions. Typically 65% the first year, 35% the second, 15% the third. Then refracking. What a deal. How stupid do we have to be to swallow this energy independence crap. Jim, open your fracking eyes. The only solotion is conservation. And becoming more local. Live where you work, shop where you live. Trains not planes. Park your car and ride a bike.
Mr. Cramer must be long natural gas stocks to explain his infatuation with CNG fuel. From 1992 to 1995 I spent $150M trying to promote CNG fuel for fleet vehicles and had several groups with up to 50M vehicles willing to consider converting some of their vehicles. My requirement for conducting a successful CNG program was a fifteen year guaranteed gas supply which public gas utilities are unable to provide. Discussions with several major gas producers at the time disclosed the best they would be willing to guarantee was five years.At Today's low gas price guarantee there will be gas shortages within five years similar to that which occurred in the late 1990's resulting in California's disasterous gas shortages.

Longhorns have issues on offense. Dave Miller
While the quarterback competition will remain the main storyline until a starter is named, the reshaping of Texas' defense under new coordinator Manny Diaz is just as important if the Longhorns want to rebound from a disastrous 5-7 campaign last fall.
His counterpart on the offensive side of the ball, Bryan Harsin, is busy trying to mold the Longhorns' offense into a unit that resembles those he led at Boise State from 2006-10, when the Broncos averaged 41.4 points per game. But with so many questions on offense — the Longhorns still have issues at left tackle, receiver and running back — it may be up to Diaz's unit to carry the squad, at least early on.
Longhorns DC Manny Diaz brought a strong pedigree to Austin.
The former Mississippi State DC brought a strong pedigree to Austin, coming off a brilliant season guiding the SEC's Bulldogs to a No. 21 national ranking in scoring defense and a No. 15 standing in rushing defense. The dramatic turnaround was in stark contrast to the team's effort the season before his arrival, where the unit finished 71st in scoring defense and 62nd in rushing defense. His defense last fall held seven opponents to 20 points or fewer, including just 17 points to Gus Malzahn's Auburn juggernaut and 14 points to Denard Robinson and Michigan.
Longhorn players are excited to play in a system that is heavy on pressure and light on hesitation — less thinking and more playmaking.
Diaz believes in an attacking style, with lots of blitzing and multiple looks, which should help create more sacks and force more turnovers. Clamping down in the red zone is also a major point of emphasis. Diaz's Mississippi State team finished ranked 13th in red zone defense last fall.
The Longhorns have some strong defenders returning, led by four-year starter Blake Gideon, a safety who is the leader of the secondary, as well as linebacker Emmanuel Acho and defensive end Alex Okafor. And keep in mind that the unit was stout last season, as is usually the case in Austin. But there are some concerns, as well.
Can 6-5, 295-pound senior defensive tackle Kheeston Randall take the next step and become the dominant run-stuffer that the team needs for the defense to be stout up front? While he was voted honorable mention All-Big 12 last season, he could rise to the next level with Diaz asking his tackles to run freely and attack instead of taking up blocks. However, Randall's effectiveness could be stunted if the Longhorns don't find a suitable tackle to play alongside him.
Another concern is the team's secondary. Can a youthful group of cornerbacks contribute early and be effective against pass-happy offenses?
One thing is certain, however. No matter which 11 players line up on defense this fall, you will recognize they are playing in a Manny Diaz defense — it's controlled chaos, marked by a strong sense of confidence.

Aaron Ramsey sees no reason why Arsenal cannot continue their fast start to the season and stay in the Premier League title race to the finish.
The Gunners head to Old Trafford to play Manchester United on Sunday on the back of a 1-0 UEFA Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund, where the impressive Ramsey was on the scoresheet for the 13th time this season.
They lead the Premier League by five points after winning eight of their first 10 games but pundits remain undecided whether they can continue their hot start, a comment echoed by Wayne Rooney earlier this week as well.
But Ramsey feels Arsenal have the character to maintain their momentum, saying: "Our biggest problem over the last few seasons is starting off well, which we have now managed to do this season.
"If we get ourselves into a strong position we know our ability to get as many points as we can in the run-in has been second to none.
"It was no easy task to go to Dortmund and get the win. We will take an enormous amount of confidence from that and hopefully that will put us in a good position to kick on and have a really successful season."
The Welshman feels Arsenal have nothing to fear from playing at Old Trafford, despite not having won there since 2006.
He added: "They have had a bit of a rough start but they have overcome that now. They have had a few good results in the league and will be getting their confidence back up but we are really confident ourselves.
"Our away record has been really good so hopefully we can continue to build on that.
"We had a fantastic run-in last season, and after the disappointing opening game of the season (defeat by Aston Villa) we have managed to build on that and keep it going.
"Hopefully we can do that up until Christmas and then we know we have the ability to compete."
Watch Arsenal's trip to Manchester United live on Sky Sports 1HD on Sunday from 4.00pm

Ashley Bickerton
|Ashley Bickerton
|California Institute of the Arts, Whitney Museum Independent Study Program
|Known for
|Contemporary Art
Ashley Bickerton (born 1959 in Barbados) is a contemporary artist, presently living in Bali.[1] A mixed-media artist, Bickerton often combines photographic and painterly elements with industrial and found object assemblages. He is associated with the early 1980s art movement Neo-Geo,[2] which includes artists such as Jeff Koons and Peter Halley.
Born in Barbados in 1959, Bickerton is the son of Derek Bickerton, a linguist and scholar of Creole and pidgin languages. His father's research work caused his family to move around the globe every several years. As a child Ashley Bickerton lived in a number of countries across four continents. The family finally settled in Hawaii in 1972. British by birth, Bickerton became a naturalized US citizen in the mid-1980s. He spent 12 years in New York where he established his career before finally settling on the island of Bali in 1993, where he presently resides.
Bickerton graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 1982, then moved to New York to attend the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. After exhibiting for a few years in New York, he was included in a four person show at the Sonnabend Gallery in 1986. The exhibition launched the careers of a quartet of young artists that collectively came to be known as the "Fantastic Four," and includes Jeff Koons, Peter Halley and Meyer Vaisman. These artists formed the core of what came to be known as the "Neo-Geo" movement. In 2004 The New Museum exhibited "East Village USA," a show that featured "Neo-Geo" artists including Bickerton.[3] In 2009 he was included in Pop Life: Art in a Material World, at the Tate Modern in London[4] The following year he was exhibited in Collecting Biennials at the Whitney Museum of American Art, which acted as a counterpoint to the 2010 Biennial and paid homage to the previous 80 years of Whitney Biennials.[5] He has had solo exhibitions at Lehman Maupin Gallery (2006, 2008, 2011), Sonnabend Gallery, (2000,[6] 2004, 2006), both in New York, and White Cube in London (2001, 2009).
Over the last twenty-five years, Bickerton has exhibited his work internationally and is included in public art and museum collections. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art;[7] the Tate;[8] the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, Paris; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Berardo Collection Museum in Lisbon, Portugal; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.[9]
Ashley Bickerton's work has explored issues in contemporary art related to the commidification of the art object itself. Often his objects are grotesque in a self-aware manner and are often a critique of capitalism.
Early constructions[edit]
In the 1980s Bickerton made a series of works which resembled packing cases and crates, covered with corporate logos.[10] His early work is noted for its display of corporate logos and constructions titled as either "Self-Portraits," "Commercial pieces," or "Anthropospheres." They are typically Assemblages of technological or industrial materials with the inclusion of found elements and screen printed iconographic images. These seemingly functional objects without clear purpose are often covered in various logos, technological signage, and codes. His artwork "Abstract Painting for People 4" made in 1987 is now included in the collection of François Pinault as of 2007.
Singapore Tyler Print Institute[edit]
The mixed-media pieces he made in collaboration with the Singapore Tyler Print Institute are "spooky" images of green-skinned creatures emerging from a sea littered with cans and bottles.[1]
Recent works[edit]
Bickerton continues to develop work within his established themes and iconography of tropical surrealism, green-headed characters, and assemblages. His work in 2006 and 2007 has taken the form of large-format digital prints and paintings with thick wooden frame constructions with various inlays. These elements can be seen in "Made's Warung" 2006 and "Green Head with Inlay 1" (2007).

I've been using Too Faced Shadow Insurance for years, it is my go to primer. Not only does it help eyeshadow stay crease proof all day, it also helps my sensitive eyes wear the more daring colours and glitters that would normally irritate them. A tube lasts absolutely ages even with daily wear, true value for money!

Lives up to its promises and keeps all sorts of eye shadows in place. Doesn't make my eyes sting when I have sweat running down my face in sports. Not sure whether this is due to the formula or it just stays in place through the sports.

I have oily skin in general and even eyelids that seem to melt! My eye makeup would usually look nice for about an hour and then it was down hill from there. By the end of the work day it would be all melted away.
I've tried several primers (MAC eye base, Urban Decay) but nothing comes close to this Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It's really great! Eye makeup stays just like it was when you first applied it - all day long. Can't recommend it enough.

WATSONVILLE — The Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency took a big step in a new direction on Aug. 15, accepting a recommendation from its own Basin Management Plan Committee to adopt a new BMP plan that will hopefully address the valley's annual shortfall of water that is draining the aquifer and adding to the problem of saltwater intrusion.
Using a mix of conservation and new sources, the new BMP plan aims to add 12,000 acre feet per year to the Pajaro Valley's water supply. It was created by a 21-member committee, picked by the PVWMA's board.
"The PVWMA is starting to ask the community first what they want to do, instead of dictating to the community what they feel is correct for the community," said Kirk Schmidt, vice chair of the BMP committee. "So I feel this will have a much higher likelihood of success because of that … it's a remarkable change and approach by the PVWMA."
Many coastal farms can't use the water in their wells without diluting it because seawater is seeping into them as the aquifer falls. The PVWMA is under pressure from the State Water Resources Control Board to address the problem of saltwater intrusion and there has been a fear that the whole issue would wind up in adjudication, with water allotments being settled in court.
It took months to select the members of the committee, as more and more members were added to appease various political factions. Then, the committee spent nearly two years creating the plan, which still needs more details, but creates a framework.
The PVWMA board passed a motion to accept the committee's recommendations on a 6-1 vote.
"We're moving forward," said Board Chair Rosemarie Imazio triumphantly.
But director Dennis Osmer, the lone vote against, was not so jubilant.
"There are some real obstacles that haven't been brought to light and I hope they will be discussed," he said.
During deliberations, Osmer said the plan was not detailed enough and relied far too much on conservation measures that the agency could only hope were followed by farmers.
The plan hopes to find about 5,000 acre feet of water per year by improving efficiency in the fields and convincing growers to use the new methods. The city of Watsonville has also targeted a 1,000 AFY reduction in water use through conservation. The new plan also aims to get 3,000 AFY through optimizing the use of existing supplies. A recycled water plant west of town is capable of producing 4,000 AFY is producing only about half that. Another program that recovers water flowing out to the bay and sends it back into the aquifer at Harkins Slough could add another 1,000 AFY.
New water supplies account for just 4,100 AFY. Most of that would come from a project at College Lake, where water could be stored and then piped to various sites. Its projected yield would be 2,400 AFY. A recharge basin in Watsonville Slough would add another 1,200 AFY and a recharge basin near Murphy's Crossing would add another 500 AFY.
A host of other alternatives were considered by the committee, but were deemed too expensive. A rubber dam at Murphy's Crossing, a saltwater desalination plant, groundwater demineralization and other ideas were all tossed around and eventually dropped. The total costs of the proposed plan is $46.9 million.
"It's the cheapest way to go and unfortunately, cheapest isn't always best," Osmer said.
Osmer said that the new BMP plan should provide more of a stick if growers did not conserve water and that the new plan was more of the same tired "solutions" that had already failed. He said farmers should be asked to do more.
"Certainly we are asking them to do something, but we are just asking them to do it. … We have no data on conservation. It's all theoretical. … The argument that people will conserve because they have to is extremely weak," he said. "I don't see that we've done enough to raise the value of water here."
Director John Eiskamp, often a critic of the PVWMA — even filing suit against the agency while he sat on the board — told Osmer he was off base. He warned that now was not the time to hit growers with another big hike in production costs.

Washington, D.C., April 5, 2011 – "The American Public Health Association is
troubled by the House budget proposal released today that would undermine our
nation's commitment and approach to health.
"Through the Affordable
Care Act, we are expanding access to care and increasing investments in
prevention to protect health and save costs. This proposal would take us in the
opposite direction.
"The proposed overhaul to
the Medicaid program and drastic cuts to Medicare would deny countless
Americans access to quality, affordable care they deserve and desperately need.
We cannot afford to have these vital programs that have been instrumental in
shaping our nation's health system and assuring the health of the most
vulnerable Americans be compromised for the sake of political maneuvering.
"We are also deeply
concerned about efforts to defund the Affordable Care Act, a groundbreaking law
that is ushering in a fundamental shift in the nation's health system to
emphasize disease prevention, health promotion and wellness. In addition the
proposal calls for significant reductions in discretionary spending that could
have significant negative impacts on critical public health programs. Any
measure that erodes life-saving resources that will help reduce the burden of
our country's most feared and deadly diseases such as obesity, heart disease
and cancer would be a tremendous setback.
"We call on the House to
swiftly oppose today's proposal and to work to develop a bipartisan budget that
makes protecting and improving the nation's health a top priority."
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States.

Legislature's use of Renewable Energy Fund called 'bait and switch'
When the surplus was revealed in the fund's annual report last October, it was obviously low-hanging fruit for lawmakers trying to balance the state budget with limited options for new revenue. Asked about the likelihood of raiding the fund in May, Gov. Maggie Hassan said the state had to confront a variety of tough choices, especially if it was to avoid a Senate-proposed $50 million cut in state personnel costs.
The statute creating the renewable-energy program clearly states that the funds collected cannot be used for any other purpose, but the Legislature works around those restrictions by including this phrase when redirecting money from a dedicated fund: "notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary."
Ratepayers don't see a separate line for renewable-energy compliance on their electric bills. It's blended into the energy supply rate.
Epsen said lawmakers have made a practice of raiding dedicated funds to avoid accountability for tax increases.
The Renewable Energy Rebate program provides partial funding or rebates for residential and commercial installations, including wood-pellet boilers and solar panel arrays for electricity or hot water.

While Wyoming's cuisine is mainly a mix of cowboy cooking and Native American culinary traditions, many dishes bear influences of other cultures. Settlers of numerous nationalities flocked to the state during the era of westward expansion, each bringing their own native dishes and adding their own twist to recipes.
The Shoshone and Arapaho Diets
Several Native American tribes occupied Wyoming's lands at various times, but the Shoshone and Arapaho have been the state's main tribes, currently still residing there. Overall, their diets were quite similar, though some differences did exist.
The Shoshone ranged over territory in Wyoming's southwestern region, with one band sticking to the prairies, while another preferred the mountains. Both bands relied on hunting and gathering for food, following their preferred big game throughout the seasons. The prairie Shoshones hunted pronghorn antelopes and buffalo as their main food sources; the mountain Shoshones were so fond of bighorn sheep that they earned the nickname "the Sheep-Eaters."
A number of other animals and plants rounded out the Shoshones' diet. They hunted other big game species like elk and deer, as well as small game such as rabbits, prairie dogs, and fish. Birds like sage grouse, ducks, and geese added more variety. Root vegetables were also important, particularly biscuit root, which tasted much like a seasoned potato. Mountain Shoshones ate several other types of root vegetables as well, including camas, sego lily, and spring beauty bulbs. Seeds from Indian Rice Grass were pounded into a nutritious flour, or stored to be used later. Summer brought abundant berries, like strawberries, raspberries, serviceberries, and buffalo berries. Serviceberries (also known as Juneberries) ranged in color from red to purple to black and tasted much like blueberries. Buffalo berries bore a similarity to large currants, with a sweet, delicious flavor. Another summertime treat the Shoshone enjoyed was rose hips, the fruit left behind after rose flowers died off. They used rose hips to make tea and added them to soups and stews. Other plants they ate included prickly pear cactus, goosefoot, juniper berries, and pine nuts.
Like the prairie Shoshones, the Arapaho in Wyoming were part of the Plains buffalo-hunting culture. Most of their diet consisted of meat, favoring buffalo, elk, and deer. They cooked meat in pits, as well as drying it into jerky to preserve it. To make pemmican, they pounded buffalo jerky into small pieces, and then mixed it with buffalo fat and dried berries. They supplemented their diet with fruits like chokecherries and with root vegetables. In addition, they acquired corn, beans, and squash by trading buffalo with farming tribes in the Dakotas and the Spanish in the Southwest.
Foods of the Settlers
Until the mid-1800s, only Native Americans lived permanently in Wyoming, though fur traders and pioneers making the journey along the Oregon Trail had already been traveling throughout the state. A few settlers and prospectors began trickling in around 1851, setting up homesteads here and there.
The foods of early settlers were simple and basic. The first homesteaders ate many potatoes while waiting for other crops to grow. Beans became an important staple, with Great Northern, pinto, and navy beans growing especially well. Settlers ate meats like bear and venison, and they followed the Native Americans' example by making jerky from buffalo, elk, moose, deer, and beef. Dishes like hominy cooked with dried beef, and rice flavored with honey and cinnamon, also graced their tables. Their favorite kitchen tool was the Dutch oven, whether used to boil, braise, or bake. Coffee ranked high as a popular beverage, but when settlers had none, they'd substitute just about anything else they could roast over a fire and grind up to brew.
Railroad construction in the late 1860s attracted many more people to work new jobs created in Wyoming, and these new settlers spanned many ethnic groups. In the town of Rock Springs alone, representations of 47 different nationalities were in the population before 1900. The Chinese had an especially strong presence, and their cuisine has had a lasting influence on the state's cooking. Of course, people from other backgrounds introduced their own foods to other settlers, too. The French brought their signature dishes, such as duck confit, as well as pastries like croissants and éclairs. Greeks contributed sweets like almond cakes, spice bars, and halvah. Wienerschnitzel and cheesecake came via the Germans, while Norwegians prepared cold fruit soups. During World War II, many Japanese lived in Wyoming internment camps, and after the war ended, some of them stayed to work their own farms. Japanese culinary traditions then mixed in with the rest, adding a new dimension to the already-prevalent Asian influence on Wyoming's cuisine.
Cowboy Cooking
Along with railroads and mining, ranching quickly became big business for settlers in Wyoming. Because groups of cowboys traveled the open range on cattle drives, they had special culinary needs.
The chuckwagon served as a place to store food staples and kitchen tools like Dutch ovens, which were just as crucial to cowboy cooks as to homesteaders. Common food staples included potatoes, beans, bacon, canned tomatoes, canned and dried fruit, and tea. An especially well stocked chuckwagon also had luxuries such as sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and other flavorings.
Chuckwagon cooks had a grueling schedule, rising at three in the morning so they could have breakfast ready by the break of dawn. Biscuits and plenty of strong coffee formed the cornerstones of a cowboy breakfast. When available, cooks served eggs or salt pork alongside them.
During the day, cowboys riding the range brought lunch items with them. Dried beef, dried fruit, and biscuits were easy to carry and wouldn't spoil quickly. Those who could fit a coffee pot in their saddlebags could wash lunch down with a fresh cup of coffee. They might also bring necessities like bacon, salt, flour, sourdough or baking powder, and a frying pan for cooking.
Cowboys loved beef, and cooks served it up in a number of ways. Pan-fried steak was a favorite dish, especially with biscuits and gravy on the side. "Son-of-a-gun-stew" (at least, that's what they called it in polite company) rivaled steak in popularity. The stew used the meat, organs, and other parts of a cow, preferably an unweaned calf. Flour and brains thickened the stew, while onions and chilis added flavor. To use all parts of the cow, cooks made "calf fries," which were calves' testicles either roasted or fried with seasonings. In addition to beef dishes, cowboys also ate wild game like buffalo and deer.
Sweets were another thing cowboys craved. Desserts ranged from basic treats like stewed prunes with syrup to cobblers and fruit pies. A really fancy fruit pie might even have a meringue topping. By far the most coveted dessert was "son-of-a-gun-in-a-sack," which consisted of dried fruit and nuts mixed into a spiced dough. The dough was placed in an empty sack and then either boiled or steamed until done. The final product resembled an English pudding.
Back at the ranch, the same types of dishes were often served. However, meals there offered a bit more variety. Milk-can suppers proved an excellent way to feed a crowd easily. To make a milk-can supper, ingredients were layered into steel milk cans, which could hold up to 10 gallons. Typical ingredients were potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onion, corn, sausages (usually Polish or German), and beer or water. Once full, the milk can was loosely covered with its lid and set over a fire to cook for about an hour and a half.
Wyoming Cuisine Today
Many of the past influences on Wyoming's culinary styles are still evident today. Cowboy cooking remains popular, with the addition of dishes like chili. Milk-can suppers have turned into Wyoming's version of a clambake, where friends and family gather together for a good time. Wild game makes it onto local menus, from bar foods like bison burgers to more sophisticated dishes like elk medallions served with a berry reduction. Particularly at upscale restaurants, travelers may find a mix of dishes and ingredients from different cultures, with Asian and French influence being especially strong. And with Wyoming's rivers teeming with trout, it's the most popular fish served in the state.
Visitors to the Cowboy State can easily satisfy their culinary curiosity, whether for traditional chuckwagon cooking or foreign flavors. Wyoming's cuisine offers much more than one might expect.

We serve a God who wants us to come up higher and higher. The scripture even says that we are God's most prized possession. We were made in His image.
But too often, many go around thinking the opposite. Some think they're not good enough. They think they're not valuable, worthy or that they don't measure up. But friends this is far from the truth.
Here's encouragement for you. When God formed you in the womb, He created something good. He didn't create trash. He didn't create someone mediocre. He didn't create someone who is less than or not good enough.
No, He created a masterpiece. He created someone spectacular. Someone wonderful. He created you as a child of the most high God.
Your value never decreases. In fact, God wants you to become something more! How awesome is that!
You see, when you go to the car dealership to buy a brand new car, the moment you drive off the lot that car depreciates. It loses it's value. It becomes used.
But you are the total opposite. You never depreciate. You don't lose value. No, you become better. God forgets your past mistakes and failures. As far as the east is from the west, that's as far as He places your sins from you.
You see, God is doing a new thing in you. Unlike the brand new car, you're not becoming a thing of old. You're not going down in value. No, you're springing forth. You've become a new creature. The old has been past away.
So get your joy back! Get your peace back! Know that you are royalty. You're a Child of the most High God. And you can walk in the abundant life that God has for you as you charge forth on your journey of life!

3 Ways to Finance Your Infertility Treatments
Learn about the financing programs that can help you cut the sometimes exorbitant cost of IVF, IUI, and other infertility treatments.
Oh, infertility treatments, why do you have to cost so much? As if finding out you need reproductive assistance isn't stressful enough, the sticker shock factor that can be involved with IVF, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and other forms of ART, plus the cost of the hormone injections and medications that typically go along with treatments, really ups the stakes of trying to have a baby. Especially if your insurance policy doesn't cover much, if anything, related to infertility, as many women unfortunately find out.
What can help defray the costs of IVF and other infertility treatments? BabyZone blogger Vanessa Bell wrote about one couple who asked the public for help in raising funds for IVF treatments. However, for most couples, paying for infertility treatments and related costs often comes down to reaching deep into their own pockets or enrolling in a fertility loan or financing program.
As for this last option, there's been intensifying debate over the past year about lending practices for infertile couples. Some doctors and clinics offer loans through their practices, but as we've asked before, is this always ethical? As has been noted, some doctors appear to receive kickbacks from lenders for signing patients up for financing—without letting couples know about their financial arrangement. Interest rates through clinic-sponsored loans tend not be the greatest either (or even good), but couples may not know how to shop around for a better APR. This is a slippery slope and from the latest round of comments, it looks like there's a growing sense that rules are needed to help infertility patients understand all their financing options.
What lending programs and other cost-saving measures may be available to you? From RESOLVE, aka the National Infertility Association, here are some financing options available to cover the costs of infertility treatments and/or medications. As you budget for infertility treatments, please note that qualifications and availability for each program can vary, as well as the specifics of how the financing is disbursed.
Monthly Payments: ARC Affordable Payment Plan
What it offers: Is your fertility specialist or fertility clinic part of the nationwide Advanced Reproductive Care (ARC) network? If so, you may qualify for the network's Affordable Payment Plan which offers monthly plans to cover IVF or IUI treatments, plus medications involved with treatments. The bonus? ARC provides a money back guarantee should you not have a baby at the end of your fertility care.
Fertility Insurance: The Assisted Reproduction Insurance Program
What it offers: If your health insurance policy doesn't cover infertility treatments, you may be able to buy this separate insurance plan that offers various options to cover fertility needs, including surgical procedures and doctors visits. If your fertility specialist or clinic is not currently part of the ARI network, you can request they join. If treatments are not successful, refunds and credits are available. The policy offers discounts on fertility medications through the Walgreens pharmacy network.
Self-Pay Medication Discounts: First Steps Program
What it offers: Did you know that medication costs can make up 20-30% of the total expense of fertility care? To help cover costs, patients who qualify based on sliding scale income or hardship can save 25%, 50% or even 75% off the available self-pay price at participating DesignRx pharmacies.
Want to see more options? RESOLVE's complete list can be found here.
