When You're Not in the Mood
Gigi Sage, relationship expert and founder of Productive Partnerships Inc., notes that if you lose intimacy, be patient and do things together that you always enjoyed.
"Take a shower together, massage each other's feet, take a walk, go dancing, and keep your heart open. Having children is one of most rewarding things in life, but to build a truly strong family you need to take care of yourself first, then your partnership, and then your child," she says.
Sage also recommends focusing on you. "Instead of pressuring yourself to fix the situation with your spouse, focus on you. Sometimes a new mom gets so absorbed in her new role that she completely forgets about herself," she says.
Are you bathing regularly? Getting haircuts? Working out at the gym? "Trade babysitting with other moms so you can get time for yourself. Join a gym that offers child care. Put the playpen in the bathroom. Life flows better—and you're more likely to get lucky—when you're having a good hair day," says Sage.
Don't forget to feed your soul. "Some new moms get fed up because all they can talk about anymore is their children. Keep a focus on something that inspires you and makes you feel vibrant and alive," Sage says. A weekly class, such as photography, or hobby is a good start.
Finally, notice what is working for you. "Everyone likes to feel appreciated for the contribution they're making. The more you focus on acknowledging each other for the things—little and big—that you do, the more you'll both see the good in each other," says Sage. "After all, that positive feeling of love and affection is the foundation on which intimacy is built."

I climb in Louisville, KY, not far from Red River Gorge. I don't climb enough outdoor, but now that it's Spring I'll be out on the rock soon! For the past 3 months it's all been indoor. I'm making a trip to Denver/Fort Collins in August to visit friends, CSU, camp and climb… I can't wait! How about you?

I was doing an interview once, and this guy goes, "So you must be pretty psyched about all this 'Slumdog Millionaire' stuff?"
And I was like, "Um, yeah, I am." I have no idea why though. I had nothing to do with that movie. It's just some people that kind of look like me are in this movie that everyone loves, and winning Oscars and stuff.
And then I was like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are white people just psyched all the time?" It's, like, "'Back to the Future'! That's us! 'Godfather'! That's us! 'Godfather Part II'! That's us! 'Departed'! That's us! 'Sunset Boulevard'! That's us! 'Citizen Kane'! That's us! 'Jaws'! That's us! Every fucking movie but 'Slumdog Millionaire' and 'Boyz n the Hood' is us! We are white people! Suck our dicks!""—Aziz Ansari, "Are White People Psyched All The Time?" (via bronx-beat)
Don't drink anything before you see the Hunger Games. I have no idea why I thought it was a good idea to drink 4 cups of tea before I saw it… that movie made me so anxious I had to pee 3 times.
my dad ate a cucumber today and he was like "wow this is pretty cold" and then he just slowly put the cucumber down and stared into space for a really long time until he turned to me with wide eyes and quietly said, "oh my god. cool as a cucumber."

Not every Halloween surprise has to go bump in the night. This simple unwrapping game pleases with quieter thrills.
Before the party, tape a small, lightweight prize to the end of a roll of toilet tissue. Wrap up the prize in the toilet tissue and continue taping prizes and wrapping them until the roll is completely wrapped.
Ask players to sit in a circle. Each person gets to wrap the end of the toilet tissue around a body part (an arm, forehead, waist, ankle and so on) until she finds a prize. She then tears the paper and passes the roll to the next player. Play continues until all the prizes have been unrolled.

Matthew McConaughey
Check it out!
"Extra" caught up with Matthew McConaughey at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Pacific Palisades this weekend, where he revealed a shocking side effect he suffered after losing nearly 50 pounds for his role in "The Dallas Buyers Club."
Director David O. Russell and his romantic comedy "Silver Linings Playbook" were the big winners at the 2013 Independent Spirit Awards, picking up awards for Best Feature, Director, Screenplay and Female Lead (Jennifer Lawrence).
In the acting categories, John Hawkes nabbed Best Male Lead, while his "Sessions" co-star Helen Hunt took home Best Supporting Female. Matthew McConaughey won Best Supporting Male for his turn in "Magic Mike."
Read on for the complete nominations and winners list for the 28th Annual Independent Spirit Awards:
"Extra's" Jerry Penacoli caught up with Alicia Keys and Matthew McConaughey at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
"Extra's" special correspondent Tony Dovolani caught up the stars at the NY Film Critics Circle Awards on Monday, including Matthew McConaughey, who talked about his first real meal since losing weight for a film role.
Actor Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila Alves are said to be celebrating the New Year with a new bundle of joy.
Secret weddings were all the rage with celebrities in 2012. Natalie Portman and beau Benjamin Millepied duped the world twice with two uber-private ceremonies, while Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively got away with a mostly paparazzi-free wedding in South Carolina.
Few others, however, pulled off their nuptials with quite the same success. Take a look at our list of not-so-secret celebrity weddings!
Actor Jared Leto is really getting into character for his latest role in "The Dallas Buyers Club." Like co-star Matthew McConaughey, Leto is shockingly thin these days, as he prepares to play a transsexual woman named Rayon.

Genre: Historical Romance
I probably should be gearing up for the release of my third book, MINX, but the past few months have been so exciting that I've barely had time to think about it.
First of all, I got married. Yes, Married! (If you think I'm grinning as I type this, you're right.) Paul and I were married in a small, lakefront ceremony on June 16, 1996. It was the wedding of my dreams, and I had something old (my antique wedding band), something new (my dress), something borrowed (my good friend's pearls), and something blue (my sapphire earrings-they're teeny-tiny, but they count!) For those of you who would like to learn a little about my new husband, just check out the dedication in any one of my romances. With every book, I give him a joke. But remember-they're all true!
As if planning a wedding didn't keep me busy enough, in May I flew out to California to appear in the upcoming feature film "Heartwood." Okay, so it was a small part (bridesmaid #2), and there was a little nepotism involved (my dad is the co-writer and producer), but it was a heck of a lot of fun. "Heartwood" is, of course, a romance, and should be out sometime next year. Let's all hope that my scene doesn't end up on the cutting room floor!
Julia Quinn ran out of room before she could tell you about her new book, but it's got humor, emotion, and a bunny rabbit-who could ask for anything more? She loves hearing from readers c/o Avon Books Publicity Dept., 1350 Ave of the Americas, New York NY 10019. Please enclose an SASE for a reply.

I owe alot to the college radio station at UWSP. Without 90FM I would not have had the background and training to have been able to do this for most of the last 40 years. This week WWSP is having an alumni reunion/fund raiser of sorts. Various folks who worked at the station years ago have paid for the chance to return to the air-waves and re-live some of the glory days. I'm giving you a heads-up that I will be on the air on Saturday afternoon from 1-3 pm. I will be playing the music that you would have heard during an air-shift when I was music director at the station from 1977-79. You can listen live or go online at uwsp.edu/WWSP. I worked and learned from alot of talented people back in the 70's. Guys like Chris Shebel & Scotty Krueger and Tim Bedore. Gene Mueller parlayed his talents into a long running gig in Milwaukee. The skills I learned led me to a weekend gig at WIFC back in the late 70's. I was terrible. But guys like Tom Collins(who was actually Tim Bedore's older brother) Jim Owen, Sebastian Stone and Tom Hudson (what I consider WIFC's classic lineup) never got tired of me hanging around the studios...asking questions, watching, listening and learning. Yeah, I owe alot to 90.FM...and for those who only know the station through the annual Trivia contest...this week gives you a chance to hear the station as it was....when it became the 'album alternative' to the big boys...and where it trained and nurtured generation after generation of top notch radio pros.
Part of the reunion week is the band "Heartsfield" playing a gig at Rookies Sports Bar Thursday night. Remember the song "Music Eyes"? I believe there may also be some glasses raised at Ella's on Saturday night. Have you been to Ella's lately? It looks like it has been frozen in time...looks the same...smells the same as 1979. No corn beef sandwiches anymore however.
The Woodchucks keep on winning. They still control their own destiny and play a Doubleheader today vs Green Bay. The first game is an afternoon affair at Athletic Park at 1pm and the 2nd game is tonight in Green Bay at 7:05. Both games can be heard on Foxsports Radio AM1390 & FM 93.9.
Songs Of The Day (from my I-pod) and possibly my Saturday playlist
Watching The Detectives-Elvis Costello (1977) a classic cut from his first album
Burma Shave-Tom Waits (1977) tell me you couldnt make a movie from this one. From the LP Foreign Affairs

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Blizzard is learning and evolving the game along the way. They are dropping attunements, they are making attempts to get everyone involved with bosses (i.e. the "new" Kael'thas in MT, and from what we have heard interactions with Arthas).
The raiders have their day in the sun for 6 months or a year when they are the only ones that have enough time/drive to see the content. Then Blizz starts to open it up to the more casual players. As they learn, they adapt. They are hearing both sides of the argument and trying to make sure that everyone has access to the lore.
I think we are going to continue to see this type of progression in dropping attunements, nerfing bosses, etc. and will see more casuals pugging through it to get their chance to see the lore (we have a pug on my server that has downed Vashj now for goodness sake). WotLK will also bring lore more directly to people through questlines I believe.
TLDR version, Blizz is working on getting everyone access.

#Osos de #Prada, #LouisVuitton y otros + intervienen osos que serán #Subastados para mejorar calidad de #NiñosPobres
Miuccia Prada's spring/summer 2013 menswear models were walking around a vast, industrial space like they owned a couple of galleries each, or at least should permanently reside in one. The carefully planned chiaroscuros, contrasting shadow and light, created the kind of atmosphere that performance artists would die to exhibit in.
Contrasts were a definite keyword. Narrow white and khaki panels were colour-blocked with midnight blue, burgundy, grass green, cream and cornflower blue surfaces. Athleticism came through in the round-neck, low-cut and polo shirts, paired with sweatbands. Rubber, wide-strapped mules also brought back memories of the Olympic swimmers from the Seventies, only the hair wasn't permed.
Lightweight coats, falling just above the knee, were stellar. Some were clinically monochromatic, others edged in contrasting shades of the same colour or diametrical opposites on the colour wheel. A standout was the black and white Cruella de Vil edition, with just a streak of bleached white running down the inside of the arms. A boxy silhouette wasn't only the shape du jour for Prada's leather bags, but manifested itself on front pockets as well.
Male and female models appeared side by side. They moved effortlessly through our conceptions of gender. It was only the singular whiff of amber fur that tipped the scale towards the feminine at one point. The harmony of yin and yang was also achieved by boys and girls being joined on the catwalk by men twice their age. No one blinked, because it wasn't really about them. It was about ageless, genderless, trendless concepts – a bit like Prada.

Given the fact that she's been sporting a diamond ring on her left hand ring finger, it's no wonder Maria Menounos has sparked engagement rumors as of late.
However, the "Extra" hottie set the record straight while subbing for Kelly Ripa on "Live with Kelly and Michael" this morning (March 28).

She's never one to miss out on a killer party, and earlier tonight (February 24) Maria Menounos showed up at the 2013 Academy Awards in Hollywood.
The "Extra" cutie was all smiles as she shuffled through the arrivals area, stopping to pose for the shutterbugs in a Romona Keveza dress before hosting her red carpet event.
While the Super Bowl may still be a day away, A-listers gathered for the Celebrity Beach Bowl on Saturday (February 2) in New Orleans.
The brainchild of DIRECTV Vice-President of Public Relations Jon Gieselman, the internationally televised event is played by stars on over one million pounds of sand.
Gearing up for the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, the stars came out to the Chateau Marmont for the Entertainment Weekly Pre-SAG Party hosted by Essie and Audi on Saturday (January 26).
Looking flawless in a strapless multicolored flowing gown was Nina Dobrev, while Alyssa Milano dared to wear a lacy semi-sheer long-sleeved blue dress with matching heels and a gold belt.
West Hollywood was the place to be last night (January 24) as a bevy of beautiful stars showed up at ELLE's Women in Television shindig.
Rising stars Kiernan Shipka (13) and Ariel Winter (14) buddied up for the bash, held at the swanky SoHo House.
Before, during, and after the 2013 Golden Globe Awards celebrities hit up their social network accounts to share their favorite moments from the night.
Everyone from Heidi Klum to Miranda Kerr snapped away on their Instagrams while the coveted awards were handed out to the biggest names in Hollywood.

As the news continues to broadcast through the headlines, the public is learning more details about the horrific incident, which went down at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School.
With continued success as "Extra's" gorgeous host, Maria Menounos pitched in on promotions by covering the December 2012 issue of Men's Fitness magazine.
The 34-year-old entertainment icon looked stunning in an Eres bikini for the sexy front page shoot while opening up about topics including intimacy to friendship's with your significant other.

Carolina Theatre
Coordinates: 35°59′53″N 78°54′06″W / 35.99813°N 78.90174°W
The Carolina Theatre of Durham is a theater in downtown Durham, North Carolina. The city owns the facility and it operates under the stewardship of a nonprofit organization named The Carolina Theatre of Durham, Incorporated.[1]
In 1923, the city of Durham chose to construct an auditorium on a lot adjacent to Morris Street School. Bids for construction were accepted on May 1, 1925 and the $250,000 budget was set. The building was completed in 1926 and opened on February 2 of that year with the Kiwanis Jollies. The Carolina Theatre was the first theater in Durham to admit African-Americans, although there were still segregated ticket lines and lounge areas until the summer of 1963. The theater's popularity rose during the World War II years and soldiers from Camp Butner were moved to the theater to watch movies. In 1977, the North Carolina Department of Archives and History completed a historic survey of Downtown Durham and recognized The Carolina Theatre as a "significant building in the city" and the center portion of downtown was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Carolina Theatre remains the last of thirteen original theaters in the city. The most recent renovation of the theater was in 2007, which included roof repairs, restroom improvements, and electrical work.[2] It was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by the Washington, D.C. architectural firm of Milburn & Heister.[3] This facility is not to be confused with the Carolina Theatre of Chapel Hill, which announced its closing in 2005.[4]
The main stage, called Fletcher Hall, seats 1,014 and has two balconies. There are two cinema screens upstairs, built in 1992, which seat 276 and 76.[5]
Receptions may be held at the Kirby Lobby (the area immediately in front of Fletcher Hall, facing the entrance from the street), the Connie Moses Ballroom (directly above Kirby Lobby, with access to the lower portion of the balcony), and/or the Upper Balcony Lobby (directly above the Connie Moses Ballroom, with access to the upper portion of the balcony).
Recurring events featured at the Carolina Theatre include the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, the Retrofantasma film series, the Escapism Film Festival, the Nevermore film festival, and the North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.[6]

Certified financial planner Wes Moss provides personal finance advice and accessible investment strategies. His guest post appears here weekly.
Think the markets have been unpredictable so far this year? You ain't seen nothing yet. As the 2012 political season ramps up, Washington is sure to add to the insanity with the two parties battling to win over voters and special interest groups. Some might wonder whether they should head for a safe harbor until the political seas calm down.
Believe me, I understand that frustration. Still, it's a bad idea to modify a carefully devised long-term investment plan based on short-term developments. If you allow yourself to be distracted by the latest headline from Europe, newest economic report or most recent juvenile antic from Washington, you will never achieve your investment goals. And you'll drive yourself crazy – after all, something ridiculous comes out of Washington just about every day.
And things will only get crazier this week. Congress' bi-partisan "Super Committee" is currently tasked to find $1.5 trillion in deficit reductions (spending cuts and/or tax increases) by Wednesday.
Nearly any outcome of those deliberations will impact the market in the short term. The committee's failure to reach an agreement would likely cause stocks to tumble, at least briefly. A hollow deal that consists of cuts in areas already slated for reduction (military spending in Iraq, for example) would also be greeted negatively. That unfavorable response might even include yet another cut in the government's credit rating.
Oddly, a recommendation to raise some taxes could cheer the market, especially if the increases are modest and are part of a deal to retain the Bush tax cuts, which are set to expire next year.
The Money Matters team thinks there is a likelihood some reductions will be made and whatever is leftover will roll into the automatic cuts mandated by the law that raised the debt ceiling and created the Super Committee — not a terrible outcome for the markets. We also see a chance for tax and entitlement reform, which would be viewed positively by investors.
It is important for you, as a citizen, to stay informed on how our country is managing its finances. But it is equally important that you, as an investor, don't over-react to the latest developments. Investing is like canoeing down a river full of rapids. You need to chart a careful course, hold on tight, and understand that there's always more turbulence ahead. If you keep pulling the boat out of the water in an attempt to avoid the rough water, it will take you twice as long to get to your objective.
Do you think there is any chance of a "Grand Plan" or that comes up with the full $1.5 Trillion? Beyond the $1.5 Trillion?

Those on the Super Committee want to keep their jobs: Their decisions will have nothing to do with what's best for the country.

I don't know what will happen, but the committee should not balance the budget by cutting such important programs: 70% of Republicans, and an even higher percentage of Democrats & Independents do not want law makers to give lower tax rates to the richest in the US while cutting Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare. The Republican platform is, thus, a fringe platform because it proposes to exactly what most people don't want: we want millionaires & billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes & we don't want cuts to Social Security (which has a surplus of funds to last 25 years) or Medicare or Medicaid. We're in this mess because of two unfunded wars & because of a lack of regulation allowed big banks & big investment firms to take the world economy down; we're not in a mess because of Social Security or Medicare or Medicaid & those programs save lives. We should balance the budget by moving that 18% tax rates of the richest (much of which is avoided via loopholes & accounting anyway) up to at least the 24% rate paid by people who earning a few hundred thousand & by asking mega-corporations like Bank of America & GE to taxes (they paid none last year)… not by hurting middle class & working class people by taking away their social safety nets.

Toby hasn't realized that the Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, has approved of the fiscal condition we are in, through its budgets and current non-budget approval or lack thereof.

Don't worry. There will be no spending cuts. This nation is addicted to government over-spending and just like someone who needs to get his next fix of heroine, we will lie, cheat and steal to get it. There are 47 million people on food stamps, we collect unemployment for 2 years and have more government agencies than anyone can even name. $16 trillion in debt? Don't worry. We are heading for more. Government at all levels takes nearly half of all we produce, and yet that is not enough and we are borrowing more every day.
The spending will continue until no one will lend the government any more money and then we will roll out the printing press and crank out those hundred dollar bills until the printer begins to smoke.
One day soon we will have to bring a $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 bill to buy a gallon of gas and the bill will have Obama's picture on it.

Toby Thank you for that writing that statement, it is so correct.
Buzz G: Somewhere in your statemnt I think your a closet GOP'er. Again you and those like you want to place all the blame on Obama. His not the one driving the economy to the state that it is in now, Gas will never get that high. The GOP will see to that and realize they need to help the low – middle class to save there party.

I'm not too sure we can simply "not be distracted" by the indecisions of the cowards in the (so-called) super committee. These indecisions will surely…at one level or another…have an impact (directly or indirectly) on everyone, whether in the investment community or within the vast ocean of consumerism.
While, perhaps, wandering far afield and just a wee bit left of centerline, Buzz makes avery good point: we are addicted to government's overspending. Any talks of reining in spending would surely spark the NIMBY reaction from both special interest groups and individual consumers.
The next few years/perhaps decades are going to be like that ride on the wild (economic) bronco. Those who manage to hang on will be the victors; will be all that much stronger for it. Those who "get pitched off the bronc"/those who cannot/will not adapt to the new economic realities which we will most-certainly see in the very near future…well…Darwin will be alive and well.

—->THIS AUDIO IS 48mins LONG, so better get comfortable<—-
This Inner Game audio comes from a guy called Vince Kelvin, a dating/seduction coach or "MPUA" (Master Pick Up Artist for those of you who are just entering/knowing about the seduction community and love the early days acronyms).
Vince is often considered as one of the "dirtiest" coaches around the world, but don't let that word mislead you, because actually his level of experience on the community it's pretty awesome and while I'm not his biggest fan, I truly respect some of the stuff he teaches.
In this recording Vince talks about one of the most important things to have a healthy Inner Game: GRATITUDE. A universal value which most of the time is totally forgotten, so forgotten that actually we truly think and believe we practice it every day, but we don't.
Now, this stuff is not for everyone, I mean, don't get me wrong, of course anyone can hear it, but most people are gonna think of it as a one of those "Bullshit self-improvement audios", so, you're gonna need to have some level of experience about the topic to truly understand the deepness and importance of gratitude. If this audio moves your feelings, congrats! you're in the right path and doing the right things to be more successful on your relationships with the people around you and of course, with women, but most importantly, you're growing up as a better human being. Enjoy!

Good Night, Maman by Norma Fox Mazer
Posted by hollybookscoops on April 18, 2009
Karin Levi is one of the lucky Jews to escape France alive, with her brother Marc. To be a Jew in France, during Hitler's occupation, was basically a death sentence. Follow the complex path of Karin and Marc as they move, under cover of darkness from place to place, searching for safety. Eventually the siblings reach Italy and are able to secure passage on the Henry Gibbons, a ship sent to Naples to bring refugees to America. Along the way, Karin composes letters to her Maman, who is supposed to catch up to them when she is better.
We had stayed on the ship overnight. When we left, they gave us tags to pin on our clothes. U.S. ARMY CASUAL BAGGAGE.
"As if we're packages," I said, when Marc translated.
"It's because we're not official. I guess they don't know what to call us."
"How about visitors? Aren't we guests of President Roosevelt? We're not here to stay."
In America, Karin is taken to Fort Ontario in Oswego, New York. At first she wonders what kind of place she has come to, and wonders why she must live in a place with high fences and barbed wire. Gradually, she develops friendships and starts school, but always Karin writes her mother and wonders when she will come.
I appreciated the facts at the back of the book. More than 84,000 French people were sent to concentration camps and over 6 millions Jews were killed in Europe. The American government only brought 982 people as refugees, all of which were housed at Lake Oswego. It's rather sobering to see how pitifully small that number is when over one hundred thousand German prisoners of war were kept on American shores during the war.
This review is part of my efforts to honor April as National Holocaust month. Other reviews are: After the War by Carol Matas, One Eye Laughing, the Other Weeping, and Greater than Angels, by Carol Matas. Previous related posts: The Whirlwind by Carol Matas.

Hi, Holly! Thanks for this book review- I'll have to see if I can get this book at the library. I'm very interested in WWII books and stories about the Jews during that time.
April 22, 2009 at 1:51 am
Thanks Holly! I read the rest of your WWII reviews too- thanks for some great ideas. I'm reading "Suite Francaise" right now but haven't really got into it yet. I just ordered more WWII books (for myself) from my daughter's Scholastic order- gotta love Scholastic!
March 4, 2012 at 7:18 pm
My 10 year old daughter told me I'd love this book. She read it in school. I will read it so her and I can talk about it. Thank you!

I agree with Ms. Charen on pretty much every count. Republicans have a much tougher sell with their message because the notion that the government should provide free stuff to some people just seems to make sense for some. Most don't realize or understand the greater consequences because it's difficult to see the forest from the trees. I think it's a matter of emphasizing long term gains instead of short term gains. And that's difficult to do for a public that has grown used to a certain system of government.

Key Information
Fast Effective Rodent Control
Jaguar®, with Brodifacoum, is the powerful Rodenticide with "extra bite" to eradicate serious rodent infestation. Lethal to rats and mice, Jaguar® BLOX™ kills rodents in a single feeding. Jaguar® should be used for serious rodent infestations only. Use highly palatable and effective TOMCAT® 2, as part of your routine biosecurity programme, to maintain rodent control.
General Properties
Combating Rat Infestations
Jaguar® BLOX™ are for INDOOR USE ONLY and should always be placed in tamper resistant bait stations, where rats are thought to be active. Place the rat bait station, containing three
Jaguar® BLOX™, near gnawed openings, nests, runways etc and check and replenish with bait every two days. If the bait in a particular location of the building is not being eaten, try moving it to another where rats are thought to be active. Complete rat control can take 15 days or more.
To prevent reinfestation, set up an outside perimeter baiting programme using TOMCAT® rat bait stations with TOMCAT®2 baits. Inspect bait stations at least monthly and more frequently in the autumn season replenishing with bait as necessary.
Combating Mice Infestations
Jaguar® BLOX™ are highly effective against tough mouse infestations where populations are difficult to control or where resistance to other anticoagulants is suspected.
One Jaguar® BLOX™ should be placed in tamper resistant TOMCAT® mouse bait stations, at frequent intervals (usually every two metres) where mice or their signs are present. These areas include gnawed openings, nests, and runways etc where fresh droppings are found. The bait stations should be inspected every two days and replenished as necessary. Complete mouse control can take 30 days or more.
To prevent reinfestation, permanent TOMCAT® mouse bait stations should be placed in areas where mice have been present and maintained with TOMCAT® 2 baits. Stations should be inspected at least monthly and more often during the autumn season replenishing with bait as necessary.
Jaguar® BLOX™ rodenticide carries a professional operator's label. This means it can ONLY be used by professionals such as farmers and pest control operators for indoor infestations only, and in conjunction with tamper resistant bait stations. Jaguar® BLOX™ MUST NEVER be sold to members of the public for general household use.
Six Simple Steps to Successful Baiting
1. Choose the right bait for the job
Your choice of rodenticide depends upon the situation, both the rodent species involved and the severity/persistence of the infestation.
2. Place bait where rodents travel
Your inspection will identify the problem areas and the species involved. Place bait where rats and mice will find it.
3. Place enough bait to get rid of rodents
Keep up a fresh supply of bait until rodent activity ceases. Remove any spoiled bait; rodents will not eat rancid bait. Monitor bait stations and other baiting efforts on a regular, systematic basis.
4. Always read the rodenticide label before placing the bait
The label instructions give useful information on bait placement.
5. Use TOMCAT® bait stations wherever safety is a concern
Tamper resistant TOMCAT® bait stations keep bait away from children, pets and non-target animals. Bait stays fresh longer in bait stations.
6. Eliminate the rodents' food, water and harbourage wherever possible
Knock down the population first before applying sanitation measures as disrupting the rodents' environment may send them scurrying and the problem will resurface in a different location.
Statutory Conditions Relating to Use
READ ALL PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE. HSE No. 7439
Contains 0.005% w/w Brodifacoum as a ready to use bait. Always read the label.
Use pesticides responsibly and safely.

UPDATE: October 9
Pennie Cates was sentenced today in Wexford County Court.
Cates will spend a total of 90 days in jail. She has already spent 72 days.
She is also sentenced to 24 months of probation along with fines and other costs.
September 17
August 7
It's a case police call shocking.
Pennie Cates of Cadillac is accused of leaving her 4 children alone, without food, water or care for hours while she worked.
Police say they found the 4 children in horrible conditions and couldn't believe any mother would do this.
Cadillac Police found the kids in the McDonald's parking lot in Cadillac West but say the mom, Pennie Cates works at the Subway next door. And this isn't the first time this mother has done something like this.
Detective Todd Golnick from the Cadillac Police Department says, "They report to us that this has happened on other occasions and they also indicated that they had no food, no water, no toys and no access to any facilities and as a result all the children had soiled themselves."
When we questioned Detective Golnick today, he unveiled the reason the mother gave for not just leaving the kids at home. Det. Golnick says, "The mother reported to us and we were able to confirm that the father of the children lives with her, however due to the fact that he was just recently released from prison, he is not allowed to be alone with those children."
Cates faces 10 years in prison if convicted of the 4 counts of child abuse.
9&10's Katie Boomgaard and photojournalist Martillo Palmer spent the day searching for more details on the case.

Former Chesterfield police sergeant William Whitely filed an employment discrimination suit July 8 in St. Louis County against the City of Chesterfield after being fired from the police department in September.
(See related on Patch: )
On April 12, Whitely was granted his "right to sue" under the Americans with Disabilities Act after filing a charge of discrimination with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
According to court documents, Whitely, a 12-year veteran of the Chesterfield police, injured his ankle during an on-duty fitness test required for promotion to sergeant.
Whitely said he received workers compensation and was treated for his injuries by a Chesterfield doctor who deemed him fit for fulll duty, despite Whitely's concern. Whitely also said he received hostile and malicious treatment from city officials, including police chief Ray Johnson and captains of the police department in reference to his injury.
During one exchange, Whitely said in court papers, he was working front desk duty after an unpaid leave for foot surgery — which required him to wear a medical boot — when Sgt. Cheryl Funkhouser, who was recovering from a broken ankle, walked by.
According to the documents, Whitely said Chief Johnson referred to Funkhouser, who was wearing a shoe since her medical boot had been removed, commenting, "See that's how you recover from a minor injury."
Whitely also said he was told to perform work in violation of medical restrictions made by his doctor. On Sept. 29, Whitely received a letter written by City Administrator Michael Herring from Chief Johnson, which stated that "effective Oct. 2, 2010" Whitely's "position must now be eliminated."
Whitely is being represented by Greg Kloeppel and is seeking a judgment from St. Louis County judge Richard C. Bresnahan for lost wages, other benefits of employment, compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
Robert Heggie of Stewart, Mittleman, Heggie, and Henry is representing Chesterfield.
Kloeppel is visiting Europe and when reached briefly for comment while traveling offered that he was representing both Whitely and members of the police department in separate cases.
Kloeppel is also representing the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 15 on behalf of a number of Chesterfield and University City police officers in their collective bargaining case that has been moved from Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District to the Missouri Supreme Court.
They are fighting to have the Fraternal Order of Police recognized by the municipalities as their collective bargaining representative.
Before sending the case to the Missouri Supreme Court, the appellate court offered two opinions, which stated they were likely to side with the police union, but wanted to have the Missouri Supreme Court decide.
Robert Heggie confirmed that he is also representing Chesterfield in this case.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is calling on Republican Todd Akin to abandon his Senate bid in Missouri following the congressman's comments about rape.
Romney on Tuesday pointed to a statement from a group of current and former Missouri legislators who urged Akin to drop his bid against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
Romney says, quote, "I think he should accept their counsel and exit the Senate race."
Akin said that a woman's body has ways to prevent pregnancy in cases of what he called "legitimate rape."
Romney had previously denounced Akin's comments, but he had not yet urged the Missouri congressman to drop out.
Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky says he's certain Akin truly is sorry for the comments he made. But McConnell says that "when the future of our country is at stake, sorry is not sufficient."
Akin has vowed to stay in the race and has described the calls to leave an "overreaction."
For the second time in two days, Akin went on the radio show hosted by former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee to say he planned to stay in the race, despite constant urging from prominent members of his own party to step aside.
"I guess my question is: Is there a matter of some justice here?" Akin asked. After his original statement, "all of a sudden, overnight, everybody decides, 'Well, Akin can't possibly win.' Well, I don't agree with that."
The race has long been targeted by the GOP as crucial to regaining control of the Senate.
"I hadn't done anything morally or ethically wrong, as sometimes people in politics do," Akin said. "We do a lot of talking, and to get a word in the wrong place, still, that's not a good thing to do, or to hurt anybody that way, it does seem like a little bit of an overreaction."
Hours earlier, he posted a video online in which he apologized again.
But ominous signs were mounting against the six-term legislator from suburban St. Louis, most notably the apparent loss of millions of dollars in campaign advertising money.
The decision to stay or go has some urgency. Missouri election law allows candidates to withdraw 11 weeks before Election Day. That means the deadline to exit the Nov. 6 election is 5 p.m. Tuesday. Otherwise, a court order would be needed to remove a name from the ballot.
The uproar began Sunday, when St. Louis television station KTVI aired an interview in which Akin was asked if he would support abortions for women who have been raped.
"It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," Akin said.
A day after nudging Akin by suggesting he "take time with his family" to consider his future, McConnell said it was time for Akin to drop out.
North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte joined McConnell, as did five patriarchs of the Missouri Republican Party.
Sen. Roy Blunt and four former senators from Missouri — John Ashcroft, Kit Bond, Jim Talent and John Danforth — issued a joint statement saying they "do not believe it serves the national interest" for Akin to remain in the race.
After his defiant statements on Huckabee's show, Senate Republicans' campaign arm reiterated that it would not support Akin's campaign.
"The stakes in this election are far bigger than any one individual," said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. By staying in the race, Akin "is putting at great risk many of the issues that he and others in the Republican Party are fighting for."
The committee had set aside $5 million for advertising and had other plans for logistical and field support for Akin's campaign before his comments on Sunday.
At least one outside group that has advertised extensively in Missouri, the Karl Rove-backed Crossroads GPS, has also said it was also pulling all of its advertising in Missouri.
Two GOP officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to irritate Akin, said party officials seeking to talk with him were having trouble reaching him Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Akin campaign spokesman Ryan Hite declined Tuesday to reveal Akin's whereabouts but said he was not in his suburban St. Louis campaign office. Hite said the campaign may release information about his public schedule later.
The apology video Akin posted on YouTube early Tuesday was an apparent attempt to claw back some of the lost funding.
"Fact is, rape can lead to pregnancy. The truth is rape has many victims. The mistake I made was in the words I said, not in the heart I hold. I ask for your forgiveness," he said in the video.
Just two weeks ago, Akin was at the top of the political world in Missouri after winning a hotly contested three-way battle with millionaire businessman John Brunner and former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman for the right to challenge McCaskill in the November election. Missouri has grown increasingly conservative in recent years, and McCaskill is seen as vulnerable.
One anti-abortion group expressed support for Akin, while another called on him to step aside.
Missouri Right to Life, which opposes a woman's right to get an abortion even in cases of rape and incest, said Akin's "consistent defense of innocent unborn human life clearly contrasts" with McCaskill's position. But the Christian Defense Coalition called on him to withdraw.
Names are being floated about a possible replacement for Akin. A favorite is Tom Schweich, the state auditor who was courted to run for Senate earlier this year but declined.
Other names mentioned include former Gov. Matt Blunt, the son of Sen. Roy Blunt; two members of Missouri's House delegation, Blaine Luetkemeyer and Jo Ann Emerson; and Akin's two unsuccessful primary opponents, Brunner and Steelman.
Talent, who lost his seat to McCaskill in 2006, said Monday he had been asked to run but declined.
If Akin were to leave, state law gives the Republican state committee two weeks to name a replacement. The new candidate must file within 28 days of Akin's exit.

Viewpoint: We're perfect the way we are
Genetically enhancing what we eat has become a commonplace practice. We can make our oranges seedless, our bell peppers bigger and more colorful, and our tomatoes resistant to several types of bacteria. We do this by picking and choosing which genes control certain variables and can eliminate or enhance them.
Most people have become accustomed to the practice of genetically modifying fruits and vegetables, but some find the practice unnatural. These people remain loyal to naturally produced food products. Presently, most of our food seems to be filled with chemicals to keep it ripe for a longer time, to prevent diseases from spoiling it, or even to make it look healthy and tasty even if the insides have lost most nutritional value. Hence, it is safe to say that we are living in a world where we "enhance" everything to fit our needs. Everything is supposed to be bigger and better, but are we at a point where genetically enhancing humans is acceptable?
It is clear that our society is not completely open to deformities from the treatment of people with disabilities. One can look at the number of abortions done because the fetus has a genetic disorder. Striving for perfection does not have to be a bad thing, but when it is a disadvantage to those who aren't normal according to these standards or those who have disabilities, our society becomes a discriminatory hell for those not considered "perfect."
People of our generation try to achieve perfection by wearing makeup, expensive clothing, and even wigs. Those who can afford it have plastic surgery to eliminate their shortcomings. When it comes to having children, some women who want children of their liking choose sperm donors with the qualities they desire their children to have. As technology is progressing, why will people stop at sperm donors when soon they will be able to pick and choose exactly what genetic traits their potential children will inherit?
Thankfully, science is not yet at a point where we can pick the exact characteristics of our children. Scientists have come to realize that altering a gene can have consequences.
In addition, several genes work together to produce some traits, which means that giving a child green eyes may involve the interaction of several genes, something that will require a lot of experimentation. Because we have not yet approached the point where we can choose traits, we still have time to think about the moral and ethical ramifications of creating these "designer babies."
Just because we can create a "perfect" species does not mean that we should. The last person who attempted this project was Hitler. Don't we think of him as one of the most evil people to have ever lived? One may argue that we won't kill anyone but will aim to create a future generation that is suited to our liking. But once we begin the process, we will fall down a slippery slope to where we will become even more close-minded than we already are. If we denounce those who look and act different from us, how low will we fall when we decide what everyone looks and acts like?
The truth is that perfect is a subjective word. What a perfect baby is for me, may not be a perfect baby for someone else. No matter how hard we try, we cannot make a baby that will be perfect for everyone in the world. We will become competitive and obsessed with outdoing everyone else's babies, which is also not in the best interest of our future children. They will have pressures on them to live up to what their parents want them to be. Most of us believe that an individual has the right to live his or her life how he or she wishes — within reason, of course.
By producing designer babies, we will steal this right from our children. We will also lose the meaning of having children and a family, and with it, what it means to be human. While at the surface, having designer babies may seem like an ideal reality worth striving for, but the deeper you go, the more you will come to realize that we are fine exactly the way we already are.

Richard Wright
Benjamin Wright
Checking Vermont records for Benjamin, I found his life span was 88 years, 3 months, and 10 days. Checking his life span using his birth and deaths on my date calculator of my genealogy program, I came up with exactly the same life span, so I'm sure of he is the correct Benjamin Wright from my family.

RE: Charles D. Kellogg
Hello, Glenn and Tracy,
Wow, how did you do that? I could not find anything on them.
Thanks more than ever. You did what I have been working on for months, in a couple of hours. Although I can not locate death/burial of Charles' moher, I can list his siblings on his memorial page. Awesome,, just awesome. I will return the Charles E. memorial if you do not mind, or can retain and work on the family to link.

My name is Tim Haerkens and I'm a Dutch game designer. I'm currently in my second year at a game design & development college. I am skilled with the C# and Javascript language and the Unity Engine.
0 comments by 1Time on Aug 23rd, 2013
I finally finished my last assignment for last schoolyear so my summer holidays have finally officialy started.
Even though school starts in 2 weeks this still feels good.
I am excited though to start my second year as a game developer student.
Because I finally don't have any unfinished work anymore I have time to think of new stuff to focus on.
A friend of me went to Game Developers Conference in Germany last week and he showed a project
,he has been working on the past few months, at the Steam and Nintendo stand.
They were both excited and told him to email them with more information about his project.
Jochem is a very experienced 3D designer and did many jobs for customers the past few years.
I met him because he and I are in the same year at a Game Design & Development college in the Netherlands. We discussed his project and decided that we will continue this project together.
I am good at coding and level design, and Jochem is good at level design, modelling, texturing and animating. I already helped him with some scripts to get him started, but now it's getting official.
CAD Visie officialy opened as a Publisher on IndieDB today. CAD Visie is the company owned by Jochem
and will be the Publisher for the upcoming project. 1TG already existed as a Development group.
The game will be added to IndieDB next week so keep tuned. It will be an awesome project.
Expect something nice :)!
Good night,
Tim Haerkens

The reason they came apart was simple. Washington turned the ball over 20 times to sacrifice leads in every quarter of Wednesday's 87-84 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They came in all forms, from every Wizard player but one of the 11 that saw the floor. The final four came in...

Mayhem #551096
Please leave a comment, list, tag, and or FR to let me know you were here. Fly by friend requests? I could care less. Do it, I'll still accept you. I don't have the time to see if you commented on photo #54 in folder 3 of my images or not. Go ahead, request me, I dare you, and fly away. Maybe we can be BFF's forever!!!
I have been agency represented in the past, but they didnt get me as many gigs as I was able to get myself so I no longer consider myself with them.
I've heard the saying:
"There are only two big
decisions in life......
where you're going,
and who you're going
to take with you.".......
I know where I am going.
I know who I am taking.
I hope you do, too.
I'm not perfect, I have a lot of failures in my port.
What I think did not came out good,
I still post on my port. It's who I am, good or bad.
If you take the time to critique my pictures, I will do the same for you. I appreciate constructive criticism and honesty. A big thank you to the members who leave a message, a tag or a comment on my profile or pictures. Your support is greatly appreciated. But, actions do speak louder than words, so let's create some magic already!!!
I love the life I live so why not capture as much of it on camera as I can......After all, isn't life one big photo shoot? Mine is dying to be documented.
If you're a clothing designer or you make latex or accessories and would like to have some high quality artistic images of your work please contact me with details. I'd love to model it for you!
I'll be the first to admit to an imagination problem, give me a chance with an idea and I may surprise you. Thanks for being here and coming by for a visit!

----------Two rules for shooting with me:-------------------
1. I understand it's in your DNA to be flaky. i get it. Just please know that if you flake on me once you won't have a second chance. So, please don't be surprised if i ignore your messages thereafter.
"A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine"
2. Please try to be on time if we are meeting up somewhere. (call if you will be a little late) There are exceptions to every rule, but please don't assume you're the exception.
I know your time is valuable, but so is mine!
Also, please know the DIFFERENCE between being a friend and being professional. Just because we are friends, does not mean that all the business goes out the window. I still expect you to be professional.
This bit of advice was passed on to me so I now pass it on to the NEW MODELS:
Modeling can and is a fun job. Yes it is a job with strict hours and expectations. Before you even start the field, take and purchase 3 top magazines (Seventeen, Vogue, etc), if in those magazines you find just one photo that you COULD NOT see yourself doing then think very hard before you start down the road. It may seem like a lot of money can be made, but a lot can also be wasted, you will know your future in that second.
Any requests that are vague, or otherwise unprofessional will not be answered and immediately deleted!
If we have a shoot set up, I ask that you call me the day before to verify we are still on. If you fail to call, I'll call you the day of the shoot and if you still don't answer I will first not show up for the shoot and second, I'll assume you have either been kidnapped by naked midgets from outer space, or God has called you for a more important purpose than to keep your scheduled shoot with me and I'll wipe you from my list.
As for hair and makeup, I do my own hair & make-up with the more basic shoots so if you like it maybe you can save some dough. However; I am more than willing to work with a MUA and or stylist and actually prefer one with more elaborate shoots!
I almost always will bring an escort with me for my piece of mind, unless recommended by photographers or models I know and trust. Just think of it like this, if I bring someone, it makes me turn into a sexy beast for the camera, and isn't that what we are both going for? No, I am not going to bring grandma, my dog, my BFF, my cousin, and my sister's boyfriend, but I usually feel more comfortable with an escort (one will work for me) :0) With that said, I also will NEVER bring an escort that will get in the way, critique what you do, or be jealous or controlling of any kind. So, take a deep breath, and relax!
Yes, I do have a cell phone and email (don't we all?) and no, I will not give them out to you unless we have something set up to work together on. I'm sorry if this offends you, but if I just gave it out to whomever asked, I would have waaaayyyyyy too many emails and voicemails to respond back to. Thank you for understanding!
I do enjoy shooting with other female/male models, and actually, a lot of my ideas would work very well with another model. Just please let me know who they are before the shoot.
Although I appreciate a well put-together nude photo, I WILL NOT POSE NUDE for any dollar amount. I am not interested in adult or fetish assignments. I get a million messages a day from perverts with cameras posing as photographers, to those creepy gwc's: I'm not naive and I'm not interested in shooting with you. As for implieds, those will be few and far between and discussed PRIOR to shooting.
I am also not doing any test shooting at this time!
I am at the point in my career where I do not pay to model, modeling pays me! I WILL NOT under any circumstances, pay for a photographer to take pictures of me. I think I am beyond the "Oh, let me help you build your portfolio for a fee stage". So please do NOT send me your rates. (unless you are Helmut Newton..then you may deserve some cash money lol)
And if I'm asked to travel more than 25 miles from my home, I will ask for travel compensation as well.
I also am ALWAYS willing to do charity events! There is nothing like helping out those less fortunate than yourself. I am so thankful for what I have, so things like non-profit events are something I am extremely happy to contribute to. Just message me and let me know details!!!
I'm here for the sole purpose of networking and unfortunately I'm not interested in dating you. This is model mayhem and not match.com, after all. Please no drink/dinner inquiries! I do not mind lunch meetings or getting coffee with photogs I have never worked with prior to the shoot to discuss the upcoming shoot. If you'd like to meet first, please let me know.

I totally modified this recipe and it was delicious, so I know if I would have followed it to the tee it would have been even better. Used what I had on hand: a yellow onion and a bag of Southern Greens blend that did not contain any chard (mustard, kale, and spinach). I also could not follow the phyllo instructions, so just layered and folded the sides in. It was delicious both warm and room temp.

jade1977 Posted: 10/10/10
Ugg, bitter, didn't have much other flavor except for mint, which was way too much. Too much work for such a poor result. Will be looking for a different recipe.
ssolo7752 Posted: 09/22/09
This was fantastic! The prep took a long time (well over an hour and a half) being I grow my own herbs, and they had to be picked, seperated, washed then chopped along with chopping the rest of the ingredients. Making this ahead would make sense. I used spanich, being I had it on hand, but made no other adjustments in the recipe. It was a bit watery when I put it in the pan which I was worried about, but it turned out just fine. I did bake it about about 10 minutes longer to get a browner crust. The phyllo was a bit testy, but it worked out just fine. Using the spray on the phyllo was a breeze. This was worth the effort and definately a keeper!
StephMerrifield Posted: 04/16/09
My husband and I loved this recipe! Next time I will make with a greek salad on the side. Definitely will make again.
parrotkabob Posted: 01/11/09
Ive made this 3 times once with my over abundant rainbow chard and twice with spinach. So easy and sooooo good. I had it for a dinner party...rave reviews, its best right out of the oven. Leftovers arnt too shabby even though the phylo dough isnt crispy the next day but who cares. Yummy!
cassiadawn Posted: 02/11/11
Very tasty! I made it with 1/2 chard and 1/2 spinach, and left out the mint. I was happily surprised at how well it stayed together after cutting; I expected the filling to leak, but the pieces were actually firm enough to eat by hand. I too found the directions for the phyllo confusing, until I actually started laying it out. Then it made more sense. The phyllo extends outside of the pan only on the long sides, and the pieces that were cut off are used to cover the short sides to make a
tara31 Posted: 07/10/10
Great way to use fresh chard from the garden!
EthnicFoodie Posted: 03/06/10
The confusion in the recipe (cutting a square, folding edges &c) results from using non-standard phyllo dimensions. The 14" x 18" specified may be available to The Trade (for large trays), but what is found in consumer supermarkets (14" x 9") is half that for our ~13" x 9" baking (lasagna) pans.
PoValley Posted: 04/20/10
This is an outstanding recipe - absolutely delicious. I'm not a great cook, I never know if things are going to turn out or not, but this one turned out perfectly! I made it with spinach instead of chard. Neither my husband or I understood the fila dough instructions, so we just put 3 sheets on each layer and coated them with oil spray. I think each layer could have had more than 3 sheets. But it was still absolutely, unbelievably delicious!
FoodieMomof2 Posted: 04/06/10
This dish doesn't have to be so complicated, in reality. I used a smaller pan (about a 9" x 9" square) My phyllo sheets were smaller, but I just peeled off a few sheets at a time, adding cooking spray now and then. I put some sheets across the pan one way, then the next layer the opposite way. I then spread out the cheese mixture and repeated the process with the top layer, tucking the ends in a bit. I probably used about 8-10 sheets for the bottom crust and the same for the top. I couldn't find Swiss Chard in my little town, so I subbed two large bags of spinach. I also used more cheese (both feta and Parmesan). It's no big deal as the calorie and fat content are already very low. The result was amazing! My entire family raved. The only part I disliked was pulling stems off 2 bags of pre-washed spinach. I would gladly pay extra to have the stems removed!
cssanford Posted: 10/29/10
Delicious! I agree with other reviewers that the phyllo dough directions are unnecessarily confusing. I used a pie tin and layered about 10 sheets on the bottom using cooking spray between them. After putting the shard mixture in, I did the same phyllo procedure on top tucking in the edges.
stellarmom Posted: 10/04/10
This was SO good! I added two tomatoes, some toasted pinenuts and I used Israeli feta. It was nice with the salty/creamy feta and the Chard. I didn't layer my phyllo the way they asked, and I forgot the egg wash, but the casserole did not last more than 3 days in our house with just my husband and I eating it!
jjameson Posted: 07/25/11
This recipe is AMAZING, nice use for the abundance of Swiss Chard from my garden. Using Butter cooking spray is a wonderful idea, not only a calorie saver but a HUGE time saver. I have made this recipe about 6 times, once it never made it out of the kitchen. I did not use mint the 1st time I made it and we loved it so much that way I have never tried it with the mint. Of course these works well with spinach (Fresh) and make it this way in the winter when I have no Chard.
eatumup Posted: 11/08/11
Left out the mint, but otherwise, this recipe was surprisingly tasty, held together and sliced nicely, reheated well in a skillet for two days. It was worth the chopping, time, etc. Would make it again - for any occasion. Used whole-wheat phyllo from WFoods. Next time, won't fuss over how to cut and layer the phyllo - will just use two pans probably, about the size of the sheets, or whatever comes to mind.
Boldish Posted: 12/10/11
Made this for a party in June 2010 and it is still remembered fondly by my guests to this day. They asked me to bring to the Christmas party.
KM6289 Posted: 03/06/13
I switched out the swiss chard for spinach. I didn't follow the phyllo directions exactly with the layering but still turned out great. Easy to assemble.
mommathomas6 Posted: 11/17/13
I made this for guests visiting us in Ohio from Turkey. I had a similar dish in Turkey. True test....it was very well received!! I followed the advice of several other reviews and simply stacked the phyllo then placed in 9x13, I also used spinach with a slight bit of baby kale. Delicious! Had requests for the recipe. Thanks CL for another great one!
