2. Switzerland
"Switzerland is a very consistent brand. It's excellent. The trains are brilliant, as are the skiing, festivals and food. It simply works."
It's the No. 1 country that people want to live in and also tops the investment climate and job opportunities categories. On the global stage, Switzerland is the peacemaker and enjoys a nearly spotless reputation for its neutrality and refusal to become embroiled in international drama — it hasn't been engaged in a state war since 1815. As the birthplace of the Red Cross and home to several international institutions like the World Health Organization and other assorted United Nations agencies, Switzerland is the strong, silent type who's willing to lend an ear, but doesn't get involved if it means taking sides.

Olympus released news on its new Stylus SP-820UZ iHS Digital Camera that boasts a 40x zoom lens. The new megazoom flagship model doesn't come close to the 42x zoom lens that Nikon's Coolpix P510 has, but its 40x f3.4-5.7 22.4-896mm lens allows it to be a more fully automatic camera with no manual (or semimanual) shooting modes. But its high-sensitivity 14-megapixel CMOS sensor and Olympus TruePic V image processor will capture 1080p HD and high-speed video (240fps HSQVGA) clips. It also allows for multishot HDR and low-light shooting options, too. And thanks to its 3 fps high-speed burst shooting (at full resolution) you can shoot like a pro and nail that perfect shot by taking a quick sequence at the tough of a button.
Its 3-inch 460K-dot LCD allows you to view your shots, but it doesn't come with an electric viewfinder so that might be a deal breaker for some. But for those who like to spice up their photos, the new SP-820UZ iHS comes with creative in-camera Magic Art filters like Pin Hole, Pop Art and even a and a Smart Panorama mode, which captures ultrawide shots if you pan the camera.
And unlike other digital cameras, this one is powered by AA batteries, so there's no need to worry about charging batteries. Olympus says it will hit stores next month and be available in black and silver versions for $329.99.

Shumlin: Rail safety something to 'look at'July 19,2013MONTPELIER-Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says that following the rail disaster in Quebec, the state's tracking of what travels through Vermont by train is "certainly something we should look at."
Vermont currently has no routine inspections for tracks, leaving that to the Federal Railroad Administration. It also does not track the type of cargo that is shipped through the state.
Questions about rail safety have come to the fore since a July 6 accident in which a train carrying oil derailed and barreled into the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec. At least five of the train's cars exploded and officials say 50 people were killed.
Shumlin says rail is important to Vermont's economy, but the state has a duty to ensure public safety.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Lawmakers complained to the states top health care reform official Thursday they...

SUNDAY, Nov. 17, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Being physically fit can help prevent heart attacks and increase survival in people with stable coronary artery disease, a new study finds.
This was true whether or not the patients underwent a procedure to open blocked heart arteries.
Researchers analyzed data from more than 9,800 adults with coronary artery disease who underwent a treadmill stress test. They were also followed for 11 years to see if they suffered a heart attack, had undergone a procedure to open blocked heart arteries or had died from any cause.
"We measured exercise capacity, expressed as metabolic equivalents, or METs, from the patients' stress test results," study co-investigator John McEvoy, a cardiology fellow at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said in a Hopkins news release.
The researchers found that each increase of one MET in a person's exercise capacity "was associated with a 13 percent reduction in risk of death, regardless of whether they had previously had a procedure to open a blocked artery," McEvoy said.
The study was scheduled for presentation Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association, held in Dallas.
"In our study, the patients who were most fit had a 75 percent lower risk of dying from any cause compared to those who were least fit. This was true regardless of whether the patient had previous stenting or bypass surgery to open up any blocked arteries," study author Rupert Hung, a Hopkins medical student, said in the news release.
Although the study found an association between greater exercise capacity and reduced risk of complications from heart disease, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
The findings highlight the importance of exercise and fitness for people with coronary artery disease, according to the researchers.
"Our results suggest that increasing physical fitness through cardiac rehabilitation programs and exercise may be an effective supplement to medications for preventing complications associated with coronary artery disease," study senior author Dr. Michael Blaha, an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said in the release.
"We hope that as a result of this study, more physicians will consider prescribing physical activity as a front-line therapy to improve survival and quality of life for their patients who are able to safely exercise," added Blaha, also a cardiologist with the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, it should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

What do you serve with cabbage rolls?
I think cabbage rolls are best served with a crusty bread and a second helping.

I rolled my dough and stuffed my pierogies today for new years eve. I studied stacked them on wax paper in the freezer. II left them in the freezer too long before dropping them in a freezer bag, so now some are frozen to the wax paper. Can i just let them thaw, or are the ruined?

am i able to turn leftover red beans and rice into baked beans?
i need to add that i dont have freezer space for anything. im not exaggerating either. i have one of those old fridges that has one of those tiny freezers that either doesnt freeze anything, or freezes over.

am i able to turn leftover red beans and rice into baked beans?
so i just made some great red beans and rice based on alton browns recipe. the main difference is instead of using pickled pork, i used a ham bone i had in the freezer. im just a single guy, so there willl be alot of leftovers. sure, maybe i will eat beans and rice for the next two days, but can i use the left over beans for"baked beans". should i drain off the gravy and add mustard/ketchup/molasses, or should i keep the beans in the cooking liquid and add the stuff. any suggestions?
Apr 04, 2013charles_sills in Home Cooking
excellent, thats what i though. thanks so much!

Will McDonalds get rid of the $1 McDouble?
i hope they dont get rid of it. i remember when the double cheeseburger was a dollar, and we would have to much too drink, i would get two doubles and a mcchicken.
if they get rid of it, then i would really like to see a great new burger for 3 bucks. one that is substantial enough to not need to eat 3 sandwhiches when you are drunk!! and one that is tasty enough to eat when you are sober.

Will McDonalds get rid of the $1 McDouble?
hahahaha, oh my goodness Jase!!

i dont really do baked goods, if i did i would absolutely need the recipe every single time.

i have never used a pizza stone, but i feel like the pizza stone would be better, because the way i understand it, the pizza stone is able to absorb some moisture from the crust. but i can tell you for sure, you wont be disappointed with either.
Jan 25, 2013charles_sills in Home Cooking
Do you partially precook your pizza crust?
i often will slightly precook my crust if im doing pizzas on the grill. put it on a few minutes, flip it, sauce it, top it, cheese it, finish it. but in the oven i usually dont need to.

Home-ground pork burgers - our new favorite
i often do a whole can and i mix it with an entire large bottle of mayo. and i it lasts and lasts. with the larger jar of mayo it comes out to not to spicy. but if you just have one of those small jars of mayo, yes, ouch!!!!! haha .
edit, i just noticed that i did previously say a small jar of mayo! whoops. yeah, DO NOT use a hole can of chilies with that. haha. sorry for my mistake.
Jan 19, 2013charles_sills in Home Cooking
Home-ground pork burgers - our new favorite
i havent dont it yet. but i probably wouldnt roast them first, just becuase i feel like its a hassle to roast habaneros. jalepenos would be great roasted first though. you can even just do a can of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce blended with a small jar of mayo.
if im doing gumbo, and a bunch of it, i do my roux in the oven. at a low constant temperature, that way i dont need to stir as often and i dont burn it when trying to get a nice dark, nutty, roux.
if im just doing a gravy or bechamel or something i basically just cook it till the raw cereal taste is gone, and i eye ball how much i need.
Great chilli con carne recipe to make out here in the (French) sticks
some onions. some garlic. nice fatty tough meat. cumin, oregano, and plenty of chillies. salt, pepper. a flavorful stewing liquid, beer works fine. you dont need much else. i like chopped onions and sour cream on top. and corn bread on the side.
ive never used a roux in jambalaya. gumbo yes, but never in jambalaya. different strokes i guess.
the real question isnt does that seem like alot or a little to us, its do you enjoy the dish? do you feel the sauce is the right thickness and texture? do you love the taste? if yes, then you are using the perfect amount of roux.
What's you favorite way to use blood oranges?
the blood and sand, i dont know if blood oranges are traditionally used, but i bet it would be great.
Home-ground pork burgers - our new favorite
ever since i got my grinder from my wonderful sister for christmas, i have been wanting to do pork burgers with a grilled pineapple/onion relish/slaw/salsa/whathaveyou. probably a bit of mayo mixed with diced habeneros on it too!
i think MGZ meant, "how do you cook yours?"
Jan 18, 2013charles_sills in General Topics
i go with either a bit of a very good bbq sauce, or a vinegar sauce, and some pickles. slaw is nice, but i love slaw so much i would rather just eat it as a side. i alctually do really like an entire slice of red onion on pulled pork as well.
Jan 18, 2013charles_sills in General Topics
just a shot in the dark, but could you use it in a chocolate chip cookie recipe?

Leftover (cooked) bone in Greek Chicken Thighs and Legs
greek chicken salad. pine nuts, grapes, a bit of dill, red bell peppers, and chunks of the chicken mixed with greek yoghurt. serve on pita?
Jan 16, 2013charles_sills in Home Cooking
Leftover (cooked) bone in Greek Chicken Thighs and Legs
do a greek "chicken noodle" soup. orzo instead of noodles. chunks of chicken meat. use the bones to make the stock. maybe some sundried tomatoes, and plenty of lemon and parsley added at the end.
Jan 14, 2013charles_sills in Home Cooking
im sorry if i somehow offended you. you stated that that four dashes of bitters is the reason that it tasted of mostly bitters, it sounded like you prefer less bitters in your drink than i do. it was in no way supposed to upset you or insult you, if it did, i sincerely apologize.
but i usually see most peoples recipes for old fashioneds have 2-3 dashes of bitters. i use 3-4 depending on the day. although 4 is twice as many as two, many people use 3, and 4 is only one more than 3 haha. (i know no one needs a math lesson. if they did, trust me i wouldnt be the one that should give it! haha)

text: Caretakers Are Lining Up for the H1N1 Vaccine Are You Asking Your Caretaker to Get the H1N1 Vaccine? by babysugar 11/10/09 8 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 It has been the worry for many a mother this Fall — H1N1. Schools have been closed for it and a state of emergency has been declared by the president. While many moms are choosing not to inject their wee ones with the vaccine, others are standing in clinic lines for hours hoping for their share of the shot. Since children and pregnant women are considered part of the highest risk group, it is natural that child caretakers should also try to guard themselves against the illness. Many mamas who aren't necessarily fired up about getting an H1N1 vaccine for their child may request their nanny get one. So tell us, are you asking your childcare provider to get the vaccine when it's available? Source: Getty Read More H1N1Swine FluBabysittersNanniesPoll Nadia24gv 4 years I am 35 weeks pregnant. I got it, my 3 and a half year old got it, my husband, brother, sisters and mother. My m-i-l and s-i-l are getting it next week. They know that my fetus cannot get it so they are doing what they can to keep him from becoming ill. And my father didn't get the shot because the flu found him first, so I won't ask him to get the shot. If I had a nanny, yes, they would not be allowed in my house without it. MissSushi 4 years Nothing in the article states that that's even a well found situation anyway, I wouldn't start getting up in arms about mothers forcing their nannies into the shot. I don't actually know anyone who has gotten the h1n1 shot around here except my aunt's husband and considering he has emphysema and a host of other issues that cause the smallest chest cold to be lethal, he didn't have much choice. It was kind of surprising to me, I figured more people would be getting it lower testing or not. runningesq 4 years Agreed, Anon @5 4 years It's more likely that your child will infect his or her caretaker than the other way around. The caretaker should be insisting that your child get the shot! And "mama" doesn't want to give her child the shot because of unfounded safety concerns, but wants to ask a caretaker to get one? Oh, entitlement... 4 years I wouldn't, no. What people choose to inject into their bodies isn't my decision to make. Plus, if I weren't getting one for myself (which I'm not), it's pretty rude to ask someone else to do it. Smacks83 4 years Sounds odd if a mom would never let her kids getthe shot because "its dangerous" or "hasn't been tested enough" or whatever, but make their nannies get one? That seems really weird to me. lawyerjenn 4 years I would if it didn't take an act of God to find the vaccine locally....good thing all the GOldman Sachs guys got the vaccine though!!! LaurenG22 4 years If I was not pregnant I would get the H1N1 vaccine. I would have no problem asking my nonpregnant caretaker to get one either. I obviously could not INSIST on it, but I would ask, sure.

I wanted to make sure that this wouldn't turn into an Alliance versus Horde deal, so let's see some good cross-faction debating in the comments. "

Notes from a New Mom: She's barely talking, yet she definitely knows what she wants and cries when she doesn't get it. Uh oh: Am I in for a case of the terrible twos with my not-yet-1-year-old?
I have noticed a great difference in my baby from just several weeks ago. Changing her diaper has become a nearly impossible task; she absolutely does not like it and lets the entire apartment complex know about it. If she wants something, she cries when she doesn't get it. Suddenly, she hates the stroller. Hmm ....
I took her to the pediatrician to get checked out (I really thought she was acting different), and apart from a very mild ear infection, she was fine. The doctor told me that the problem is likely behavioral. My question: How do I -- and do I -- discipline a baby who doesn't really "get" discipline?
There have been times, believe me, when my instinct is to just yell. But I don't. Will she understand the meaning of "no"? What has worked for you moms out there who have been through the same thing?
I'm thinking I should just become a little tougher, but maybe there are some tactics that I can try. (Distracting her seems to work, but only temporarily.)
Can I discipline my baby?
Could her molars be coming in? My daughter went through a super fussy phase, like you mentioned. By about 13 months (she also had an ear infection in the interim) her teeth had finally poked through all the way and she started riding in her car seat, stroller, etc patiently and stopped screaming and having melt downs. I just responded with a mix of tylenol, motrin, TLC and occassional trips to the pack n play where she could thrash around angrily and not hurt herself/cool down.
Crying, screaming, having a fit is normal for a baby, it's how they communicate, share their frustration, etc. Kind of "Hey Mom! Why aren't you getting what I'm trying to tell you?!" It's frustrating for them, and can be for ustoo. This is when you teach them to talk, she wants her cup, keep saying "cup" show her the "cup" and when she gives a good effort instead of a scream, give her her cup. The diaper deal…we used to laugh at the backwards crawl walk our one daughter did, eventually you just do your best to get the diaper on and leave it go. She's growing up!
Nothing you posted is out of the ordinary or actually bad behavior. She is developing preferences and expressing herself. If there are things you don't want her to do, such as turning over at diaper changes then every time she tries to roll hold her still and tell her not to roll over. Diaper time is going to take longer until she gets it but she will.
You are entering into the toddler phase. The first time in any new parents life when you want to pull your own hair out. It's not the terrible twos it's just simply not the baby stage anymore. You have to be consistent. And by consistent I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME she does something you don't want her to do there should be either removal from the situation, verbal reinforcement or punishment.
It's tedious. It's aggravating and by the time your will finally wins out you will be at your wits end. But if you pick your battles, stick to them then give your toddler room to wiggle in other areas it wont be to horribly bad.
We found a play pen to work wonders for our children when they were very young. If they got into something we didn't want them into a few minutes in the play pen as time out was a great behavior modification tool.
My son was the same way…you can definitely TEACH them without the negative implications of "discipline."
Suggestion #1 - buy sign language DVDs! My son was highly communicative for his age and his frustration started to show around 10 months that I wasn't getting what he was trying to say. Simple signs for water and milk and food eliminated nearly 90% of the early tantrums.
He also responded well to multiple choices - when he started to scream in the stroller, I bought one of those push cars and then gave him the option of car or stroller. 9 times out of 10 he chose one or the other without a fight. And if he did fight, I was just stern about him going in one of them. They're just trying to push your limits, so you kinda need to show them who's boss, but without being bossy.
The same worked for food - once he learned the sign for banana and fish, he quickly started trying to say other foods, or would respond to my words with smiles or head shakes. It's tedious on the parent's part, but I think children respond to descriptive language much better than short words with brisk actions. They feed off of you, if you're frustrated, they will just amplify that 10 times.
Just stay calm and be consistent. Give choices, but make sure they know that one of those WILL be chosen. It's all about control, if you let them think they have some, they'll thank you for it. At least that's what's worked for me.
You can discipline your baby but you should not punish your baby.
Distraction works wonders for kids that age as does saying no and redirecting. Kids should not be punished until they are old enough to tell you what they did wrong and what they should do instead of the thing they did.
I agree with Sara: discipline, not punish. Use distraction for diaper changes. Give her the diaper cream, a diaper, or the wipes to hold to "help" you. You might also try waiting until she gets uncomfortable with her dirty diaper (this rarely works for my son, but works for other moms I know.)
It's hard for her to really get it at her age, but start helping her feel like she's getting choices. Let her choose the diaper; let her play with the stroller for a little while before you put her in it. Let her walk around outside before you put her in the car seat (those struggles will come soon). I find that if my son (19-mo) feels like he's got some say in what we're doing he's a lot easier to get along with.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.
The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
I'd have to accede with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

In the depths
of my stomach
a nauseating doom
an uneasy feeling
a heart-pounding gloom
Aligned and ornate like an Easter morning choir
were hundreds of collectibles my mother admired
She called it "The Pink Room" with its Victorian style
porcelain beauties etched with paranormal smiles
She twirled
and waltzed
and giggled
for their pleasure...
not knowing these antiques were Lucifer's sweetest treasures
Shirley Temples, Alexander's, and Chatty Cathy's too
with your back turned to them
glossy eyes glared at you
Mechanical spheres
realistic eyelashes blinking
my curious mind pondered the evil they were thinking…
In the quiet of the night ….
when our house lie still….
beyond the pink room's door…
were faint evil shrills.

The Lubbock Apartment Association kicked-off their annual "Share The Warmth" coat drive Saturday. Volunteers have been taking your donations of coats, hats, scarves and more since 2005.
Last year the group received national recognition for their efforts. Each year they collect thousands of items, and give them to those in need. This year, organizers hope to collect more than 4,000 warm items to giveaway.
"We couldn't do it without the help of over 140 local businesses and community sponsors though, including NewsChannel 11 and the dry cleaners that clean the coats for us and Century Property Management for providing a coat closet to store all these coats," John Leonard with the Lubbock Apartment Association said.
Donations can be made at four locations inside the South Plains Mall. The first giveaway is scheduled for October 25th.

Molecule of the Week
January 23, 2012
Merck researchers isolated platensimycin, a natural antibiotic, from the bacterium Streptomyces platensis in 2006. The metabolite was later found to have potential for treating diabetes and related disorders. In 2011, B. Shen and co-workers deduced the details of platensimycin's biosynthesis by analyzing its biosynthetic gene clusters.

Make This Watermelon Frosty Before the Watermelons Disappear!
Every year it's the same. September's calendar page opens up, and I'm seized with a sudden panic: I didn't eat enough watermelon! If you feel the same, here's a clever way to slurp up an extra serving of watermelon at the end of the summer.
This watermelon frosty is so simple and even (dare I say it) healthy. It's made of frozen watermelon cubes, a touch of lemon and honey, and half a frozen banana for body (kind of like our banana peanut butter "milkshake") — blended until frothy.
You could make it boozy, with vodka or gin, or keep it plain and just enjoy the watermelon while you can.
While I plan to eat lots of watermelon straight from the rind, as long as I can find it, I think I may be supplementing my end-of-summer binge with this frosty.
Get the recipe → Watermelon Frosty at Our Footprints (adapted from recipe at Healthy Happy Life)
Are you still eating watermelon? Or have you turned to fall fruits instead?
(Image: Our Footprints)
3 Comments
just bought a watermelon yesterday and my son wants me to make watermelon popsicles. I think I'll try your method - the banana is a good idea and I have some in the freezer.
We have a garden filled with watermelon. I was tired of eating it the same old way so one day made something similar to this recipe...watermelon sorbet with honey and mint! YUM!
does anyone know where i can get glasses that are just like the ones in the image? thank you!

male "feminists" or whatever you people are calling yourselves these days basically do exactly the same thing as the friend zone, they're just smart enough not to call it that
- they're only nice to women when they think they can "get something" from her. either it's sex, or friendship, or just a compliment of "wow, What a Great Guy!" women they don't think they can sway are thrown to the dogs as not being worth it
- literally only like to talk about feminist issues when it's conversations among other women. ive never seen a man (offline, here, wherever) actually try and stop their friends from making a sexist joke, or hassling a woman (verbally, physically). but men LOVE to voice their opinions on what they think feminism should be focusing on, or their opinions about "what is womanhood" or "why x is important" and if you, a woman, disagree, they just snidely shut you down
the only difference is they wear revolutionary berets instead of fedoras
QUEERING THE GAME OF LIFE (via thegenderpurple)
I'm often faced by this when talking about my opposition to interracial pornography. People think, even after I explain myself, that it offends me morally because I am racist, and offended by the image of a black person having sex with a white person.
In reality, It is because it's fetishized like bestiality. Like it's terribly kinky that a white woman would have sex with a black man. Always a black man who is always portrayed as hulking, unintelligent, and beast-like, with an insatiable appetite for penetrating white women as to render them "fallen."

What If You Don't Take Medicine For Shingles
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Herpes Zoster (Shingles)What Is Shingles? Shingles is a very painful disease caused by the same herpes virus that causes chicken pox (varicella zoster virus). Like other herpes viruses, the varicella-zoster virus has an initial infectious stage, (chicken pox) followed by a dormant stage. Then, with no warning, the virus becomes active again. About 20% of people who have had chicken pox will eventually develop shingles. This reactivation of the virus is most likely to...

The Philadelphia Student Union exists to build the power of young people to demand a high quality education in the Philadelphia public school system. We are a youth-led organization and we make positive changes in the short term by learning how to organize to build power. We also work toward becoming life-long learners and leaders who can bring diverse groups of people together to address the problems that our communities face.
