The state Senate voted unanimously Thursday to approve the nomination of Democrat Edith Prague as the commissioner of the newly created Department on Aging.
The department\'s creation has been part of a 20-year odyssey that has been closely tied to Prague. A former potential candidate for lieutenant governor, Prague had previously held the same position two decades ago under then-Gov. Lowell P. Weicker, Jr.
When Weicker was trying to merge Prague\'s department into the much-larger Department of Social Services at a time of a huge state budget deficit, she objected. When Prague refused to cut her budget, Weicker fired her in a public clash.
Now, starting on Monday morning, Prague will return as the commissioner to the newly created department, which will include 30 employees who are currently working in Hartford for the aging services division at the Department of Social Services.
\"It\'s a long time coming – 20 years,\'\' Prague told Capitol Watch in an interview after the Senate vote.
Despite suffering a stroke on Christmas Day 2011, Prague has recovered enough at the age of 87 to start working in a new, fulltime job.
\"God\'s been good to me,\'\' Prague said. \"I\'ve made a full recovery. I\'m able to walk around, to drive my car, to function. I feel very blessed. And here I am. My colleagues did me proud.\'\'
When he nominated Prague, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said he was aware of her past clashes with Weicker.
\"Yeah, I don\'t fight with her,\'\' Malloy said.
Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, a New Haven Democrat who served with Prague in both the House of Representatives and Senate at different times, said she was \"a leading advocate for working people\'\' as the co-chairwoman of the legislature\'s labor committee before her retirement from the legislature.
Looney said Prague was \"an informal adviser to seniors\'\' on purchasing long-term care insurance who had \"a historic role\'\' as \"perhaps the preeminent advocate for seniors in the state.\'\'
Senate President Pro Tem Donald Williams, the highest-ranking senator, said, \"We all know this nominee very well\'\' from working for 18 years with her in the Senate.
Looney and Williams were the only speakers on the Senate floor before the 36 – 0 vote. A crowd of her supporters in the Senate gallery broke out into applause after the vote.

these are questions we get in our ask box nearly all the time. read these first before asking us something, you'll get a better answer! (meaning, we won't answer a question that's already been asked here!)
will you follow/promote my blog/website?
we have a list of blogs we love and want to recommend to our readers, currently on this post. we'll certainly check out your blog, and if we are nuts about it, we'll put it on that list. (this doesn't happen often, as we like to keep it a true "best of.") otherwise, you can get in touch about advertising & sponsoring posts by emailing us at email@example.com
can i use your recipe/photography on my website/blog?
sharing our posts via social media is totally fine, as long as we're linked back to in some way. however, don't post our content in its entirety to your blog/website. if your site has advertising, or if you're from a publication, please contact us before posting any images/writing to get permission. email firstname.lastname@example.com about useage inquiries.
why don't you guys eat organic food or use unbleached flour??
whenever we use a food term in our posts, it's kept general to fit diets and budgets of all types. some of the produce we eat is organic, almost all of our food is local, and we don't use bleached flour or sugar. but everyone's situation is different, and we don't want to make our recipes seem out of reach. if it's important (like unvegan bone-char sugar), we'll usually say "you should use this kind of food instead because …"
why do you guys have ads?
our sponsors help us pay our bills: whether it's food, props, backgrounds, studio space, or electricity for our kitchen. without them, we wouldn't have enough time in the day to post here - so you should be thanking them! (and checking them out! :) )
could you put nutritional information in your posts?
we haven't found a good enough interface (ie. website) to calculate that in an efficient way yet. to us, the amount of time it takes isn't worth it. (we live in a way where we eat a varied, whole foods diet, and that's enough to keep us healthy. we personally don't have any specific dietary needs that warrant keeping track of nutrients.) if you want to, send us a link to a good website to calculate nutritional info, and we'll consider it.
where did your old FAQ (from tumblr) go?
we backed up our old FAQ and are planning to make more detailed, full posts for any questions regarding cooking, veganism, lifestyle or nutrition. our old answers were out of date, at any rate, and we'll be slowly adding them back as we go through each one.
why did you name this "hipsterfood?"
short answer: it's supposed to be ironic. longer answer: our food choices have always been scoffed at by others as 'hipster food' - as if it were some silly, fleeting trend. people make the connection between hipsters and vegans all the time - that we're all upper class white kids that wastes all of mom and dad's money on trendy items. we decided to make this blog to show everyone that veganism isn't elitist, that it's a totally doable lifestyle, and that it most certainly is not a fad.
i'm looking to make something with [this ingredient], where can i find it?
our new website has an amazing search function! simply type in a single or two-word ingredient and something should show up. you can also browse recipes in our archives, above in the navigation bar.
can i substitute [this ingredient] for [that ingredient] in one of your recipes?
go for it! but most likely we haven't tried out that specific combination and can't guarantee results. we're trying to get better at including substitution suggestions in our posts, promise! :)
can you make one of your recipes gluten-free, sugar-free, etc.?
short answer: no, sorry. we're not extremely familiar with gluten-free baking (we're not big bakers to begin with) and we don't usually test recipes with alternative sweeteners. We're learning, though!
what camera do you use/how do you edit your photos?
i use a nikon d5000 with a 50mm f/1.4 prime lens, i shoot in manual and RAW. most of the photos you see here are edited in either straight-up Photoshop or in Adobe Camera Raw, using VSCO film packs 02 and 05. here's a good primer on manual shooting and one of my favorite food photography intros.
what font do you use on your photos?
most older photos use Futura, and new ones are hand-lettered or use a custom font I created called Lady Sans :)
where are you based out of?
we both live and work in Rochester, NY, in the city.

what products do you buy from the asian market...
- kare_raisu Jul 24, 2006 02:58 AM
and what do you use it for? (unusual too)Especially interested in Japanese, chinese, and korean products.
So many interesting things i want my palate to discover.
re: Akatonbo
when i was at the mitsuwa in chicago, i noticed that the gobo from taiwan sold for condiderably less than that nihongo gobo (almost like unagi). why is that? assurance of quality?
Could you explain a little bit more about ganmodoki...all i know is that it is sometimes used for oden. tia, akatonbo.
re: kare_raisu
I never saw gobo from Taiwan at Mitsuwa! I'll have to check it out. I wonder if it's cheaper to import from Taiwan?
The ganmodoki I make are done this way: I drain 1 block (are they 12 oz?) of firm tofu and put it in a tea towel. I then wring it and squeeze it until I can't get any more water out of it. I put the tofu (now dry and crumbly) in the food processor with 1 egg, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp sugar. I blend it, then put it into a bowl and add 1 small grated carrot (peel it and use the big holes on your cheese grater) and a like amount of the slivered, soaked gobo (sometimes, if I have them, I substitute thinly sliced shiitakes for the gobo). Heat oil in a wok. Oil your hands and form a patty of the tofu mix that is about 1/4" thick and 2" in diameter. Drop into the hot oil and fry, turning it once or twice, until both sides are golden. Drain on a wire rack. Do them all that way, oiling your hands as required.
To get your gobo slivers thin enough to use this way, peel the gobo, then score it down its length with a sharp knife, making long incisions at a close spacing all around its circumference. Then use a vegetable peeler to peel away long, thin slices. They should be paper thin and very narrow.
I eat the ganmodoki heated in a broth (wash them under hot running water to get the oil off, before adding them to the broth). The broth is a bottled Japanese soup base to which I add a little soy sauce and mirin. Serve them in a bowl with a little of the soup broth. Umai!
re: kare_raisu
Sao bing is a flat bread, slightly pre-split and sold in packages of six. You can eat it alone, or stuff it with anything to your liking (e.g. meat, vegetables).
Soy infused eggs are just that -- whole eggs, in their shell, saturated in soy sauce and other spices/ingredients for a long time. My grandmother used to make hers with tea (tsa yie dan). Cooking them at home results in the eggs inside their cracked shells; those at markets are already peeled and bare, but infused with the good savory taste.
Taro root - we like to simply bake it and eat it raw - it's sweet, like yams. I've also had it with fried rice (along with meat and other vegetables). I'm thinking of using it to make my own ice cream, after being inspired by Fosselman's ice cream.
Maybe I'm a novice asian cook, but I stick to basics:
sesame oil
soup base -- I use this with either soba or udon noodles to make soup (dilute with water)
black bean sauce
soy sauce
soba noodles
prepackaged udon noodles (when I say this, I mean they are like fresh pasta, as opposed to dry)
oyster sauce
frozen potstickers (gyoza)
sesame seeds -- always cheaper at the asian market
I lived in Japan for several years. This is where I primarily learned to cook, so most everything I know how to cook is Japanese/a staple in Japanese households.
Also, it helps that my husband is Japanese and while he enjoys all food, it's nice to be able to make foods he grew up with for him.
That said, I buy most of my condiments/dried foods at the Asian market, (or did when they were readily available, when I lived in Southern California.)
I rarely buy meat/veggies there though, unless I need something specific. I go to the regular groceries or Whole Foods for those.
Japanese curry packets for making Japanese style curry rice. Some Japanese supermarkets have prepackaged cuts of meat for this purpose.
Nori for home made sushi rolls. Most Chinese supermarkets will have this (roasted nori sheets). Korean supermarkets tend to have versions that a a bit salted, better to eat with hot rice or congee than for sushi.
Frozen unagi from China, if on sale this is quick and easy food for dinner. Ditto with various kinds of fermented soybean (natto) which is nice once in a while.
I've had the original Yakult lactobacilli drink for years, this is great stuff. My local Chinese supermarket now carries this too.
Chinese white pepper (the kind I get is a small round container with a green top, imported from Taiwan). A key ingredient for practically everything. Makes all food taste better.
Dumpling/gyoza skin when I have time to make my own dumplings
Chinese noodles and ho fun which can be used for stir fry or in soup
Pork neck bone for Chinese soup
thinly sliced black pork belly (Korean supermarkets) for tons of good dishes
Chinese vegetables - A choy, Taiwan cabbage, zen choy, cantonese bak choy, yam leaf, gai lan, yau choy
ginko nuts - fantastic with congee or stir fry
shimeji, abalaone/oyster and enoki mushrooms - even Chinese supermarkets have these now
organic soy milk (nijiya market version is tops)
fresh tofu (organic silken or regular)
organic miso paste (for soup or marinating fish for grilling)
re: ipsedixit
do you just mix it in straight into the soil? i think the pilgrims did this.
re: kare_raisu
Actually, I just give it to my gardener. But ever since using fish guts, my peaches, apricots and lemons have been bigger, juicier and sweeter.
Biggest problem to fertilizing this way is keeping out the cats and possum that like to feed on the guts ... but a litter cat litter around the trees usu. does the trick.
all kinds of noodles(Japanese flat noodles are great for chicken noodle soup)
sauces - soy, tonkatsu, black pepper, soup bases, yakiniku, korean BBQ
cold tea - green, buckwheat
baby bok choy
shiitake mushrooms
red bean ice cream
tea bags - much cheaper than in the regular markets
yogurt based drinks like Calpis
those wonderful fruit/jello cups, so much better than those in the regular markets
Spanish mackerel
Yakiniku meat
Fancl cosmetics
Japanese appliances like rice cookers
Japanese pastries
Japanese rice candy from Fugetsu-do
Mochi ice cream
First off I'm 1st generation born asian american.
Salt cured duck eggs
whole, head on fish
taro root (gabi)
Fish sauce
Sugar cane vinegar
daikon root
Barley tea
tapioca flour, rice flour
All those small, salted, dried fish in 1# bags
Salted shrimp paste
Pork- the selection in non asian markets is usually limited to chops and loin
whole shrimp
blue crabs (live)
shrimp chips
tamarind candy
melon gummies
the snack isle is my favo
on and on and on...
Shrimp paste
Coconut milk
Soy sauce
Prawn crackers
Fish sauce
Sesame oil
Thai Basil
Wasabi (powder or paste)
Rice paper (for spring rolls)
Kaffir Lime leaves
Whole shrimp
Thai chilis
Oyster sauce
You know, the usual stuff!

We Need To Know: When is Sam's Wife Going to be Shown on NCIS: LA?
Photo Credit: CBS
For two seasons now NCIS: Los Angeles has been one of the most watched shows not only on CBS but also out of all of the TV shows among the major network dramas. And, since nearly the beginning, it has been understood that Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) has a wife and family; but they have yet to be shown in any episode.
While there has been no clear cut discussion about when his wife and family will make an appearance on the show, I think fans of the NCIS spin-off have been curious about his home life; and for us here at TV Goodness, we were curious. Who should play the part of his wife? This is one of the questions that have been plaguing us this summer hiatus.
With that thought in mind, we came up with some suggestions for the head honchos at CBS to consider; but whether they will take these suggestions and run with them or not will be a different story.
Here, in no particular order, are our suggestions for Mrs. Sam Hanna:
1. Tawny Cypress – Best known for her role in the first season of Heroes, Tawny has also appeared in Rescue Me, Third Watch, All My Children, and the short-lived series K-Ville. She has also made guest appearances in Warehouse 13, Army Wives, Love Monkey, Criminal Intent and Special Victims Unit. She has also appeared in the movies Autumn in New York and World Trade Center.
2. Natashia Williams – She starred in the syndicated series She Spies as well as appearing in the Olsen Twins series So Little Time and the Teen Nick series Romeo! Her guest roles include the TV shows The Parkers, CSI: Miami, The Vampire Diaries and CSI: NY. She has also appeared in the movie Two Can Play That Game.
3. Renee Goldsberry – She is best known for her recent role in The Good Wife as well as her long run on the daytime series One Life to Live. She has had guest appearances in episodes of Royal Pains, White Collar, Providence, Any Day Now at Star Trek: Enterprise.
4. Tempestt Bledsoe – Best known for her role in the popular comedy The Cosby Show, she has appeared in Strong Medicine, Raising the Bar, South of Nowhere, The Replacements and the made-for-TV movie The Wishing Well.
5. Gina Torres – While she is a regular on the new USA Network series Suits, it would still be great to see her in this role. Gina is best known for her role in the cult favorite Firefly and the box office movie Serenity, but she has also appeared in Angel, Cleopatra 2525, Hercules, 24, Huge, Alias and the short-lives series Standoff.
6. Gugu Mbatha-Raw – She got attention in the short-lived series Undercovers and will be seen on box office screens very soon in the Tom Hanks-Julia Roberts led flick Larry Crowne. She is also known for her work in the British series MI-5, Doctor Who and Bonekickers.
If you're a fan of NCIS: Los Angeles, which actress would you like to see playing Sam Hanna's wife? Please share. – Rueben

This recipe produces an incredibly moist, dark, rich, sticky, dense gingerbread cake with a complex and spicy flavour . I've slightly modified the recipe based on the one Claudia Fleming, pastry chef, prepares at New York City's famed Gramercy Tavern. The original version is in brackets. Recipe was printed in "Gourmet Magazine" (Feb. 2000). Cake develops a lovely caramelized crust that can stick to the pan. Spray generously with cooking spray with flour or line pan with parchment paper (greasing both well) and allow cake to cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. You can use part whole-wheat flour and, if you want to avoid alcohol, you can replace the stout with strong coffee. Recipe makes a 10" bundt cake (or springform); if you want, you can halve the recipe for an 8x8 square pan. Cake is even better the next day (so it is a good make-ahead dessert). Serve cake plain, dusted with confectioners sugar, with whipped cream, or with vanilla ice cream.

PowerPoint - Feb. 16, 2009
"Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."
--Genesis 28:15
If these last few weeks and months have been a struggle for you… if you've come upon financial troubles… lost your job… or you're looking at a future that's pretty bleak… I have a word of hope for you today.
That word is this: God has not left you. He hasn't let you go!
If you are a born-again believer, God is working in your life. It is a certainty. He has a plan for your life, and sometimes that plan involves hardships and trials. But every challenge helps prepare and position you for the purpose God has for your life.
Don't believe me? Try this exercise. Think about the greatest struggles of your life so far. What have you learned from them? Are you wiser and stronger because of them? What good came out of each trial?
You see, the journey of your life is a plan in God's hands. Trust Him with your life today… and with your future.

Bears fans celebrate Chris Bourque's shorthanded goal (All photos by Kyle Mace)
Due to the holiday, tonight is the first ever "photo recap." 11 photos from tonight's game, recapping all of the events in the 3-2 SO win for Hershey. And like they say "A picture is worth 1,000 words" (so that means tonight's post is 11,000 words.) From all of us here at Sweetest Hockey on Earth (and our big sister blog Russian Machine Never Breaks) we wish you a happy, healthy, and hockey filled 2012!
Norfolk gets on the board first, scoring the only goal of the first period
Chris Bourque scores a highlight-reel goal from his bum. Hershey ties it at 1-1
Christian Hanson pops a "shorty" of his own over Jaroslav Janus (say that ten times fast.) Hershey leads 2-1
The start of the Garrett Mitchell/Jean-Philippe Cote fight, in which Mitchell was the only one fighting
Mitchell channels his inner Andy Samberg and throws Cote on the ground
I guess helmets aren't necessary when fighting Garrett Mitchell.
Norfolk ties it back up at 2-2
A Bear throws Mike Angelidis' helmet into the stands. Bears fans did return it
Yes, I am Keith Aucoin. And, yes, I just scored the Bears game winning shootout goal.
The Bears celebrate their shootout win. Also that they do not have to wear those jerseys anymore.

I think we all make New Year's resolutions in some manner. Some being to join a gym (note that's join, not go), lose weight, find a new job, read "Moby Dick," learn a foreign language. Should antiques-and-collectibles business owners make resolutions for their businesses?
You bet!
New Year's resolutions should be achievable and make sense. Here are some:

Katherine this video is so wonderful. I so remember that morning, waking up early, I could feel God at work. And sure enough we got the text message that you were in labor. Baby Juliette is a blessing to this world, just like her mommy.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much friends!!ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed watching Juliette's first year movie - just beautiful - what a lovely family you have. I instantly related to it - firstly because I'm a mum too but secondly because our youngest, William, was born on the same day 6 years before in the early hours. So the 7th of October is a special day in our house too.ReplyDelete
Denise - thank you for your comment! Oct 7 babies are wonderful - I bet William is too :)ReplyDelete

Someone Forgot Lyrics - Dynamite Boy
Someone forgot that I had feelings too
You let them throw that in my face
It's all your fault I could of been the one
I think about that everyday
What do you want? What is it that you need?
I'll tell you and you'll walk away
And I sing my songs over and all alone
I never try to understand
You just don't know how hard I tried
I never make things turn out right
Sometimes I still think about
You and there is no doubt
It's all I can do just not to
Cry, die, I want no part of it.
Your life is not what I call
Meaningful what can I do to make it right?
sponsored linksWhat do you want? What is it that you need?
That you need? I'll tell you
And will start to fight.

If you think country music is all about longnecks and two-steps, well, you're wrong. But if you're headed to Cowboys Arlington to see Deryl Dodd and the Homesick Cowboys, it won't much matter. Armed with an arsenal of songs about honky-tonks and heartache, pearl snaps and rodeos, Dodd is a hardworking club-circuit performer. Which is not a bad thing. The Dallas native isn't selling out arenas or making appearances in Hollywood movies--an odd trend for country artists that we hope ends soon--but he is sweating his way through barroom gigs, singing his songs and meeting his fans. And that means you should expect a down-home, good-time show that won't cost a nickel and might just be the most fun you can have with your boots on.

This movie still holds up quite well. When it starts, it has the feel of a 70's made for TV movie, but quickly turns into a first rate thriller.
A quintessential 70s film that is a thrill ride throughout (even the shots are purposely short and fast). Two interesting aspects of the film is its not so subtle commentary on a Warergate era America (end differs from novel to paint a pretty clear message) and the shots inside the World Trade Center might be eerily familiar to some. That is because the documentary crew that was there on 9/11/01 filmed at the same lobby area.

This rather interesting picture surfaced on Twitter this week. It's Alpha Female, who signed a contract with TNA while they were on the European tour, and LeiD Tapa carrying Al Snow, a backstage agent for Impact Wrestling.
John Gaburick, the former WWE executive who now has a lead role in TNA, reportedly has some backstage heat with Eric Young during one of the television tapings on the European tour. The two were arguing over the longevity of a spot filmed for Impact Wrestling.
It appears that the story line and character development for Brutus Magnus is working, as fans have been booing him during the European tour. Many backstage were expecting him to receive cheers like Rockstar Spud has been receiving, but they're pleasantly surprised by the crowd reaction.
In a bit of news that will be troublesome to fans who are concerned with his health, Kurt Angle has postponed surgery on his knees. He was initially supposed to go under the knife in January, but pushed that back to work the European tour with TNA, and there's talks that he might postpost it even further than that.
Looks like TNA picked up some more assets while they're on their European tour. The company has signed Alpha Female, a German born wrestler who works in England. She's expecting to make her debut on Impact Wrestling very soon and could be paired up with a male performer.
Mr Anderson was written off of television on Impact Wrestling, and he's also now the father of newborn twins, so that led many to believe that he was going to be skipping the current European tour that TNA is on. However, it has now been confirmed that he is overseas with the company.
For a while there, Aksana had some backstage heat on her in WWE because of her performances during the European tour. However, a lot of that heat has died down tremendously, as she has slowly received more television time. Aksana is also a candidate to join Total Divas next season.
TNA wants a successful tour of Europe in January, so they're hoping to have AJ Styles involved. The company either wants him to make a surprise return during an episode of Impact Wrestling that is being taped overseas or on an episode before that.
Speculations about Jeff Hardy leaving TNA have increased, as the former world champion will not be joining the company as they do a tour of England in January. He is also expected to miss at least a couple of episodes of Impact Wrestling as well.
WWE sent Dean Malenko, who has been working as a backstage agent over the last several years, home early from the European tour because of chest pains.
WWE received some criticism from the fans last night because they did not put more of an emphasis on their tribute to Mae Young, whose death last week saddened the wrestling world. More feathers will be ruffled, as management has opted to remove the video completely from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw.
"Once again, HONORED to be included in the Mae Young tribute video tonight on Monday Night Raw. So much respect for her and proud to be in same ring."
- Bully Ray
While WWE has been paying tribute to Mae Young, who died earlier in the week, at live events by showing a special video, Natalya Neidhart has decided to take it one step further, by dedicating her victories over AJ Lee at the live events to the hall of fame performer.
"Very embarrassed that Oklahoma media have ignored Mae Young's passing. It's appalling. Someone do their homework. Pro wrestling bias?"
Now that the legendary performer has passed away, people will be given one final chance to say goodbye to Mae Young. Visitation is being held this upcoming Tuesday at the Dunbar Funeral Home in Columbia, South Carolina, and the funeral itself is being held the following day at the same location.
"Rest in peace, Mae Young. You're truly an inspiration to us all. It was an honor to have met you. You will be missed."
"When I ran into the duo at shows, Moolah would always remember me from our catering convos, and in the middle of talking Mae Young would go, 'Now which one are you again?' in that shaky voice to which Moolah would say, 'Oh Mae Hush Up' to which we would all share a laugh."
"I'm just grateful for the moments I got to spend with her. Both Moolah and Mae were an important part of my life in WWE, especially in my first couple years in the company as they were my biggest cheerleaders. They were always encouraging me and telling me they liked how I didn't 'wrestle like a girl'. She was an inspiration to me and so many of the girls in the locker room. I used to tell her 'Mae, I want to be just like you when I grow up'. I'm going to miss her a lot."
"From the moment she first stepped through the ropes, Young established herself as one of the most active and successful female Superstars – including becoming the first U.S. Women's Champion, carrying out one of the most storied rivalries of the time with the legendary Mildred Burke in 1954 and being among the first female competitors to tour post-war Japan. The entire WWE Universe offers a standing ovation to a true queen of the canvas and bids Mae Young a heartfelt farewell."
Zack Ryder took to Twitter to post a quick message about the death of Mae Young, and the longtime WWE star also included a picture of himself with the hall of fame diva.
"A trailblazer & role model...paving the way for women in this division. You will always be remembered! Rest in peace, Mae Young."
It has now been confirmed that Mae Young has passed away, as Stephanie McMahon herself has posted a message on Twitter to inform everyone. There had been quite a bit of confusion all week long, as fans were quick to make assumptions about her death.
"Damn. What a life and what a career. Never forgotten and touched every generation. Rest in peace, Mae Young."
"My condolences go out to the family and friends of Mae Young. She was the toughest person I have ever been in the ring with. She was definitely what we call a class act Thank you for making the Dudley Boyz who we are today without you that would have been No Dudley Boyz you will be missed but never forgotten we love you Mae. May u rest in peace"
- Devon on the death of Mae Young
While wrestling fans all over have posted their condolence messages all over social media, it has now been confirmed that Mae Young is still alive. She is gravely ill and is off life support, but the WWE Hall of Fame inductee is not dead.
Things have taken a turn for the worse for Mae Young, as the WWE Hall of Fame inductee has now been taken off of life support. She has been in hospice care for approximately a week after spending some time in the hospital.
As of right now, Mae Young, a legendary performer most associated with WWE, is under hospice care, where one of her kidneys is in the process of shutting down. She is also breathing with the assistance of an oxygen machine at the moment.
Some good news has been revealed about Mae Young and her condition. The legendary WWE star is now at home and is able to speak again. Her condition is still quite serious, however, and Mae is still under the care of hospice for the time being.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams will recognize the 10th anniversary of the Victory Junction Gang Camp during the Camping World RV Sales 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon on Sunday by carrying Victory Junction 10 year decals on their race cars.
The Victory Junction Gang Camp opened in Randleman, N.C., in 2004. It was founded by former NASCAR driver and current NASCAR on TNT personality Kyle Petty and his wife Pattie Petty in honor of their son Adam Petty who died at the age of 19 in a Busch (now-Nationwide) Series practice crash at New Hampshire in 2000.
Victory Junction offers camping experiences year-round to seriously ill children between the ages of six and 16. Campers attend the camp free of charge, as the camp opereates on donations. To date, the camp has hosted more than 20,000 children, including children from all 50 states and several foreign countries.
The camp is a member of Paul Newman's SeriousFun Children's Network and is accredited by the American Camping Association.
Decals will be handed out to race teams on Friday by Victory Junction staff.
to find out more about the camp or how to donate or volunteer, visit victoryjunction.org.

In our last column we discussed the importance of empathy in our practices — what it means to us and our patients.
Empathy is the emotional appreciation of another's feelings. It is putting yourself in someone else's shoes. Commonly referred to as "bedside manner", it is a skill which is powerful yet often overlooked in today's high tech, bottom-line world.
Practicing empathy has many benefits. It improves treatment outcomes, betters patient compliance, reduces dento-legal risks, increases satisfaction, enhances relationships, improves the overall dentist/patient experience, and honors the patient.
In our "find it and fix it" world of dentistry where empathy is an afterthought and considered innate and impossible to acquire, experts now consider empathy a teachable and learnable skill. It is on the curriculum of many medical schools.
Our patients present to us their feelings and emotions all the time in ways overt and covert. They give us their fears, their anger, their grief, their disappointments — sometimes served on a platter, other times as a secret ingredient. They are sometimes outwardly stated, but often subtly implied. We must recognize and be alert to these opportunities to read our patients. This awareness then allows us to respond empathetically. These clues are easily missed if not looked for. Our patients will often send these clues out to us repeatedly hoping for a response. When none comes, they feel dismissed and alienated, becoming frustrated and sometimes leaving.
After looking for and discovering these clues, the dentist can offer a gesture or statement of empathy in the form of either a question ("Can you tell me more about that?"), a clarification ("Let me see if I've gotten this right..."), or a simple response ("I can understand how that makes you feel."). Let them know you are with them, perceiving and understanding their feelings.
State to the patient your perception of how he or she feels so that person can confirm or, if wrongly perceived, correct, that perception.
• Patient (statement of emotion): A friend of mine had a crown done and had all kinds of trouble.
• Doctor (statement of empathy): I see. What kind of problems?
• Patient (giving feedback): Her crown was fine for a long time, and then it broke.
• Doctor (correcting perception): So you are mainly concerned with the crown's longevity?
• Patient (closing the loop): Yes, exactly.
Use active listening skills, acknowledging to your patients you are paying attention. Provide feedback, correcting perceptions when needed. Demonstrate that you want to be tracking with them. Once you have correctly perceived the patient's emotions to your satisfaction, legitimize that emotion ("I understand how you feel.") Respect your patient's feelings and effort to cope, and then offer your support and partnership. ("I will work hard to get you a crown that will serve you for years to come.")
We can come up with many reasons not to practice empathy.
• "There's not enough time."
• "It's not relevant, and I'm too busy running my practice anyway."
• "Too emotionally exhausting."
• "I don't even want to go there."
• "I haven't had enough training."
• "I won't have enough empathy left for my family. I'll use it all up at work."
Empathy, however, is different from sympathy. Sympathy can be emotionally exhausting because it implies a feeling shared with the other person as if the pain belonged to both. We sympathize with others when we share and suffer with them. As such, we can't sympathize with our patients. We would burn out. Empathy, on the other hand, is engaged detachment. We "borrow" another's feelings to observe and understand them, without taking them on ourselves. A big difference. And never pity a patient. Pity is condescending and contemptuous. It separates doctor from patient.
So empathize, don't sympathize. It's a no-lose situation. Your patients see that you care. You probably will get better case acceptance and therefore do finer dentistry. The attorneys stay away, and as importantly, you get to do more than just dentistry. You get to get close to your patients. Your patients will see you as more than just their dentist. They will see you as a friend, a confidante, a person they can trust. Yes, I know that's low tech stuff, but it's the stuff that gets you through the day. It's building relationships, and that's what this job is all about!

Through three games and obviously three starts, the Texas Rangers starting rotation is second to last in RA/G (runs allowed per game). That is the bad news. The good news is that the only team worse than the Texas Rangers in that category is the Angels. The Texas Rangers are allowing 6.33 runs per game (baseball reference) while the Angels are allowing 8.67. But that does not tell the whole story.
Tanner Scheppers really ruined it for everyone. The combined ERA of the three pitchers is 7.51, but if you take out Scheppers 15.75, it goes down to 3.39. So really opening day is the reason that it is so high for the Texas Rangers right now. The starters have also averaged 4.2 innings per start, and none of them have made it through the sixth innings yet. But it is the first time through the rotation, and both Martin Perez and Robbie Ross had quality starts. They have struck out 16 in three games while walking just 5.
I also used the eyeball test. While Scheppers kept everything up, Perez and Ross really seemed to have control of the strike zone for the most part. I felt comfortable watching both Perez and Ross pitch, it looked like to me that they both had very good control. I think that the next start for Scheppers will be a big one, and I hope that he and Robbie Ross talk and that Scheppers learns from Robbie's first start. I believe that Sheppers has the ability to be a good starter, but I am not sure about his confidence at this point. Then again, he only pitched 4.0 inning so far this season.
I am sure I will feel obligated to re-evaluate the rotation after the last three starters go (Joe Saunders Friday, Nick Martinez Saturday and Yu Darvish Sunday), but for now, here is my evaluation of the rotation. I will also cover the bull pen and offense before tomorrow nights game. Be sure to follow us on twitter and like us on facebook. Thanks!

GPB Quick & Easy Autumn Review 3 of 6
Day 3 ~ Soups, Sides & Salads
As we work our way through Gooseberry Patch's soon to be released Quick & Easy Autumn, our next chapter is Soups, Sides and Salads. This was a hard chapter for me to chose from. I love soups and they are always on the menu in the colder months but since it is actually spring, I decided on a salad recipe to try. The recipe that got my attention was Pear Harvest Salad submitted by Lori Ritchey from Narvon, PA. I love fruits and nuts in more savory dishes and since I know what a wonderful combo pears and blue cheese are, I knew this recipe was going to be a HIT -- no disappointments!! Pears are very over shadowed by the abundance of apples in fall but they are also perfect for autumnal desserts and salads.
Pear Harvest Salad
8-oz pkg mixed salad greens (I used romaine lettuce)
15-oz can pear halves, drained and 1/3 c juice reserved
1/2 c chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted (I went with the walnuts)
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
2/3 c blue cheese salad dressing (if you are not a blue cheese fan, I think Ranch would make a great substitute)
Place salad greens in a large salad bowl. Top with pear halves, nuts and onion. Stir in reserved pear juice into salad dressing; drizzle over salad. Serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8
Don't forget to leave a comment (and follow if you don't already) for your chance to win this book before it is even released AND a Faithfulness Farm apron. The winner to be announced on April 15th!!
Tomorrow's review will be from the chapter--Mains!

I love pears. I craved them when I was pregnant with my first son. He loves them, too! I love salads, too. This would be a great salad alongside grilled steaks or chicken and crusty bread. Thanks for another great recipe!!

Deb said...:
Love the idea of a pear salad.
Abi's Blog said...:
Ummm, that looks good - I think a sweet onion dressing or a blueberry poppyseed dressing would be really good. I've had a blueberry dressing at the Marketplace in Conway AR - wish I had a recipe for that. :)
Kay said...:
This looks interesting... will have to consider trying this.
Valarie said...:
Pears and bleu cheese - a favorite combo of mine. I'm making this tonight!

My husband would eat Caesar salad every night, but I love trying new salad combinations and this one will be a hit because of the blue cheese dressing

I love bleu cheese...and fruit!

Mmmmmmmm sounds delish - and I agree, pears always seem to be over-shadowed by the apples but are oh so good!
Mary said...:
That looks so good! I love pears. My husband makes a honey mustard dressing that would so good with that. I will have to give it a try.
OhPioneer1806 said...:

This is one of my favorite salads!
Rita May said...:
I remember making this in home ec. Never thought I would like the combo, but it was great! I've served this at Christmas because it's pretty.

This is what right-leaning news outlets had to say about Paul Ryan's acceptance speech" The Washington Post called it, "Breathtakingly dishonest." Sally Kohn, a contributor to Fox News, said, "Ryan's speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single speech." Paul […]

Ryan deserves better press
09/04/12 at 4:53pm by Letters Editor | Comments
The byline on your critique of Paul Ryan's convention speech should have been the Democrat National Committee, not some AP writer named Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar. Here are some things the writer did not say: Re Medicare, Ryan's cuts reduced government spending and debt. Obama's cuts were transferred to spending to fund Obamacare. And the writer's minimization […]
AP stories need a fact-checker
09/04/12 at 12:03pm by Letters Editor | Comments
If you're going to print AP stories, please check the accuracy. The "Ryan speech makes inaccurate claims" article (Aug. 30) is flawed on EVERY topic One example, The Medicare cuts of $716 billion in Obamacare — common sense alone says how can you cut that much from any program and have the program continue? The […]
Misleading statements abound
09/04/12 at 12:02pm by Letters Editor | Comments
I was glad to see the articles "Convention speakers straying from reality" (August 30) and "Ryan speech makes inaccurate claims" (August 31). For months the Republican TV ads and speeches have talked about Obama bending the truth and misleading the public in his statements. These two articles point out the "unrealistic" promise by Mitt Romney […]
Fact-checking story nothing but biased reporting
09/04/12 at 11:56am by Letters Editor | Comments
The AP Story by Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar in the 8/31/2012 Enquirer, "Ryan speech makes inaccurate claims" is a despicable, biased, and inaccurate left wing attempt to discredit the Republican ticket and I feel nothing but utter contempt for those responsible for it. First about Medicare: no inaccuracies were pointed out. Instead a feeble attempt was made […]
Lying to get ahead

"We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers." ("Convention speakers straying from reality" Aug. 30). Wow! Where do I begin? Mitt Romney, who in his quavering voice, says he cares about you and your family, but surrounds himself with people who have no qualms about telling lies about our president or […]
Kudos for pointing out inaccuracies

Thank you, Enquirer, for reporting on the inaccurate claims in Paul Ryan's speech given Thursday night. I'm so proud of the paper pointing this out to the public. Ann Wilmers Silverton
Ryan's claims weren't inaccurate
09/04/12 at 11:50am by Letters Editor | Comments
Fact checking. That seems to be a critical component to campaigns. While looking at the article "Ryan speech makes inaccurate claims" (Aug. 31) I decided to do some fact checking myself. For Medicare, the cuts to it are going to be through reduced payments to hospitals, insurance plans, etc. What happens when you are paying […]
Enquirer needs proof-readers
04/09/12 at 12:00pm by Letters Editor | Comments
I just can't stand it anymore. When did all of the proof-readers leave the Enquirer? I am certain that the writers and Editor's of the Enquirer have alot more education than I do. But just about everyday that I read the paper there are misprints or misspelled words. If I can catch these mistakes it […]
