I have just caught 33lb of carp on paste today, but I am still missing loads and loads of bites. This is only my 3rd session using paste so how can I improve my catch rate even more? Is there a secret to putting the paste around the hook so that the carp pick up the hook more often?

This week, I chat with Lee Meredith and share a pattern for the first in a series of five.
Behm Wash/Dish/Anycloth 1
I had a great time knitting some Wash/Dish/Anycloths for my niece's wedding a little while ago. She loves bright colors, so I thought it would be fun to play with some unusual stripes.
Her new last name is Behm, so I'm just calling all 5 of the cloths I made for her and her new hubby Behm cloths. I'm sure it will confuse the heck out of some Germans on Ravelry (Behm is a German name), but there it is.
My gauge was 5.25 stitches per inch in Blended Stripes stitch, which I adapted from Barbara Walker's Blended Stripes stitch in A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns. This makes a cloth that is 9 inches square. If you don't mind a slightly different sized cloth, however, you can work at whatever gauge you like best.
I used Kertzer's Coolspun Cotton yarn in White and Mardi Gras. I had never used this yarn before but I am now a big fan. It's lovely, soft, and comes in awesomely bright colors.
Lee is awesome, has a great sense of color, and makes her living designing, writing, teaching, and selling in Portland. We chatted about unintentional lobster claws, her choice to move to an all-fiber worklife and ebooks.

Store Bought Pizza Crust
- p
- Philly Ray Sep 9, 2006 04:19 PM
Even though we have some great pizza places in Philly, I'd ike to try making some at home. But every time I start to read the recipe for homemade pizza dough, my eyes glaze over and I reach for my delivery menus. The whole process (kneading, proofing, etc.) just seems too time consuming, although I'm sure it is worth the effort.
Has anyone found a decent store bought crust (Boboli?) that they like to use? If so, do you still use a pizza stone with it?
The only way I'm happy using Boboli is if I grill it (with toppings) for about 10 minutes at 400 on my gas grill. Otherwise I think it's kind of flabby. If you have Trader Joe's in your area, they sell pizza dough for about a dollar a pound. I've gotten around this whole problem by getting take-and-bake pizzas from a couple local pizza places. That way I can cook them whenever.
I love making personal pizzas on unsliced pita bread. There's a local bakery here (Holy Land in Minneapolis) that makes these delicious garlic pitas that make perfect crusts. I just top 'em like a pizza and bake directly on the oven rack (so they're crispy). Top with dried tyme for an extra zip and good looks.
The Trader Joe's pizza dough is a pretty average, in my opinion, but still better than getting take out. I noticed it needed WAY more sitting-on-counter proof time than claimed.
Another option for a less traditional crust is that boxed Jiffy pizza crust. Costs like 30 cents and it pretty good if you bake the pizza in a pie pan instead of pizza sheet (makes it thicker) with a good bit of olive oil and corn meal. Also allow more rise time than directed.
And do you have a bread machine? Most will make pizza dough for you.
Many pizzerie will sell you raw dough.
Trader Joe's is also fine.
Definitely use a pizza stone. Even with a half-baked takeout pizza it gives much better results.
Yes, your local pizzeria may sell it to you; I recently called our favorite place and they sell it, though I forgot to ask "how much?" In addition, our Publix grocery stores sell one-pound bags of fresh pizza dough in the bakery and they do nicely for $1.49 per bag and they usually sell out on Friday nights.
I make mine in a bread machine using the dough setting. I store it in the fridge in a gallon ziplock bag. Straight from the machine it's ready to form, top and bake. To use later from the ziplock you may just have to punch down. It's really easy. Here's the recipe I use:
1 cup water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 olive oil
3 1/4 flour
2 1/4 tsp yeast
Put in your bread machine in that order, making sure the flour covers the water completely so the yeast won't touch the liquid. Run through dough cycle. Top with desire toppings and bake either with or without pizza stone. I can't remember what degrees I set my oven, whatever happens to run through my head at the time. Usually hot. I don't always use red sauce. To me, some of the best pizza is brushed with olive oil, fresh basil, fresh tomatoes and chunks of mozzerella. I also love chopped prosciutto with carmelized onions. Good luck
Make the dough!! You'll be happier in the long run. It's like a lot of procedures that seem too involved when reading the instructions but end up as enjoyable processes once we've done them a few times and get used to the pacing of the activity. Not hard, just another little learning curve.
Once you've done it a few times, you get the benefit of making it what ever way you want. Add herbs to the dough, use some whole wheat flour - what ever.
Plus you get the self-satisfaction after even your very first pizza that you make.
I dunno if you have a TJ's near you, but I've been happy using their pizza dough... Although NOTHING beats homemade... :)
I buy our pizza dough at an Italian bakery. Like others said, you could also ask your favorite pizza place if they'll sell you raw dough. It tastes better than anything you could buy in the supermarket (i.e. Boboli).
And yes, still use the pizza stone.
TJ's is OK, but of course homemade is much better. I make Wolfgang Puck's recipe, bake the crusts partially, and freeze them for quick meals later on.
Here in SF you can buy Vicolo's (sp?) cornmeal crusts, which are ready to fill and bake. They are very different from regular pizza crust, but we like them a lot. Actually, I'd like to find a recipe for that kind of crust - at $4.99 for 2 crusts, I'm pretty sure I could make something similar for a lot less money.
TJ's dough definitely works for me, although of course homemade is better. Just get that oven hot! I do mine at 550, which is my max. Both whole wheat and plain versions at TJs are good.
Boboli works, I like the thin crusts best. And yes, as The Librarian said, they taste best charred on the grill, but you can get a good effect using a pizza stone too. Rub the crust with a garlic clove before doing anything else!
My local supermarket sells pizza dough. It has no instructions. I let it rise. It will not even start to rise until the entire thing reached room temperature. Since it is purchased from the refrigerated section and I store it in the fridge, that means putting it in a lightly oiled covered bowl in my kitchen overnight.
I get up in the morning, punch it down, kneed it a bit and do the oiled bowl thing again. Each time it rises (doubles in size in the bowl) I go through the same procedure until it is time to eat.
To my experience the dough, right from the store, is unworkable. The more often you go through the rising procedure the more easily it is to work into the shape you want without pulling back and the better the dough turns out.
re: truman
Used the wheat this weekend - I love its flavor.
If you are in the mood for super thin pizza, try using lavash. If you go to Trader Joe's, they carry white and whole wheat versions (our household prefers the whole wheat).
Here is an example:
I change up the toppings, so the last version I made was first brushed with garlic oil, then topped with small amounts of drained, grated whole milk mozzarella, jarlsberg, caramelized onions, very thinly sliced andouille sausage and greens on the side.
If you like charred crackerbread-type pizzas, you can put it on the grill, and get crispy, charred to your taste results in just a few minutes.
We prep and cook them on parchment paper to ease moving to/from cookie sheets or grill.
Giant and wegmans sells the dough refrigerated in a bag. Giant has it near the deli and I think Wegmans might be near the bakery. The flat prebaked crusts are terrible! The dough is good and takes all the proofing and needing out of it. Nothing rises at my house other wise I would make it myself.

$5 to Find Your iPhone
Panic attacks typically begin suddenly, without warning. They can strike at almost any time — when you're driving the school car pool, at the mall, sound asleep or in the middle of a business meeting ― or when you realize you've lost your phone.
TekTrak today launched its iPhone app that allows GPS tracking of an iPhone remotely from any web browser. For $4.99 a year you can lose (and then find) your phone as often as you like.
"Today's mobile device is more than just a phone – it includes a lot of important information, including contacts, passwords, e-mails, pictures and more. Your iPhone should be a utility, not a liability," Arik Waldman, TekTrak's CEO said in a statement.
The online connection provides real-time location tracking of your phone's location via Google Maps plus location history of your phone, i.e. where it was and when. TekTrak runs in the background and activates the phone's GPS only when needed to reduce battery drain. You can ring your phone remotely through the app when you're certain it's nearby or send a text in hopes that a good Samaritan has it in hand.
Otherwise, call AT&T (and soon perhaps Verizon ) to report your iPhone has been lost to avoid unauthorized charges.
Apple's Mobile Me service provides similar functions, but it costs $100 a year. TekTrak has plans to make the app available to "all major smartphone platforms."
TrekTrak is now available in the Apple App Store for $4.99 per year.

The writer of "Bible over God, a sin of Bibliolatry" (Feb. 8) stated "I want to respond as a religious man, a Christian, who does not believe that Genesis records literal history, who believes that evolution is the best (and only rational) explanation of the diverse world of creation, and who believes that the Bible should be taken very seriously, but not literally."
All we know about God comes from the bible (Christians). One believes it in its entirety or not at all. Question? How can one select what to believe and what not to believe as a human? Further, science is imperfect as all thinking scientist know. Genesis 1 – 2 are not in disagreement, but are simply written from a different context. Further, saying that resolute belief in God's word is a form of Idolatry is naive to the nature of true theism.
The next time an evolutionist claims to have the data to prove something, ask him to set up a lab and show you. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.

Just dropping by...

|Tue, 10-02-2012 - 12:04am
Just wanted to drop by and say Hi to everyone.... It's been a rough year and I find myself thinking about Ashlyn more and more the last several weeks. A little update on me... I had a beautiful baby boy in on 9/5/11, his name is Rylan and he is so wonderful to have around. I was diagnosed and treated for anal/vulva cancer over the summer. I had 25 rounds of radiation and 2 (4 day) rounds of chemo. I am doing well and have check ups coming in the next few weeks. I am about to get married, 11/2!!!!! I've been with a group of woman on FB since I found out I was pregnant with Rylan and it reminds me so much of the days when things were so great....
I can't imagine how big all the kids are getting!

Yes, I had several surgeries. Hopefully its all behind me now though! I will have one more coming on the 15th, to have port a cath removed. Its what was used to deliver the chemo since it can be hell on your veins. Might need one other one because radiation shrinks your tissues and skin and it has made it impossible to have any sort of "relations" with my SO.

Former Nevada Wolfpack tight end Virgil Green really stood out at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis today. He threw up 23 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press, had a 42.5 inch vertical leap, and a 10'10" broad jump. He also ran a 4.54 in the 40 yard dash, a number that was a couple tenths of a second off of what he'd probably hoped, but there's no denying his athleticism.
As a senior at Nevada, Green had 35 receptions for 515 yards and five touchdowns. This is big news for the young tight end prospect, who was previously a fourth round prospect or later. This could vault him into the second day of the draft, similar to former South Carolina tight end Jared Cook, who was picked by the Tennessee Titans in the second round.
Green is 6'3″ 249 pounds, and has the look of a solid pass receiving option for some NFL team.

At The Christian Manifesto we don't insulate ourselves. We believe that all of Creation is charged with the grandeur of God. We're just as comfortable reviewing and critiquing the creative work of Eminem as we are Steven Curtis Chapman. We won't crucify an artist because he swears too much nor will we praise an artist simply because they make worship music. We won't degrade an author because their writing is risqué or praise one because their main character is an Amish woman. We'll say things in our blogs that buck the status quo and (possibly) raise your ire, all while believing that God is fully revealed in the person of Jesus. We will interview voices both inside and outside the Christian sphere, pulling no punches with either crowd.
We're Christians. We're reviewers. We're bloggers. We're interviewers. We're a team, but we do not always agree with one another. We attempt to come by each identity honestly.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I stumbled across this site looking for another school for my child. I am a Catherine Cook parent and my son has been at the school for over three years. The school has not met the expectations that we had at our acceptance. We were impressed by the school's community and it's drive to create a school that would rival those nearby. However, in this families eyes this ideal has not been achieved. Also, while the curriculum may be challenging for some my child has not experienced this same push to excellence. As a parent I have been disappointed by the schools politics and have not felt an atmosphere of learning as expected. I think, as the school's enrollment numbers have increased the quality of the school's program has gone down.
CCS is a wonderful, warm place to send your child. As a parent it is heartwarming to see just how caring and dedicated The teachers are about the interests of your child. The teachers are always available to sit down and talk. The communication is amazing. No child ever 'Falls through the cracks' at CCS. The school is on top of everything. (However That does have the potential to be a double edged sword). The school has grown dramatically in resent years, but that is principally due to fewer children leaving in the higher grades. That is good news. The strongest part of the school are the kids. My son has made wonderful friends. Truth be told, so have my wife and myself. CCS has a great parent body. Larry Lubell 5th grade
I echo the last comment. The school has recently appointed a head (number 5 within 6 years) and he pales to create a platform for the school. He is invisible at events and is only heard via the school newsletter. The middle school has severe discipline problems. Class sizes are no longer small. No bang for your buck here. The preschool is still the only highpoint.
My child loves Catherine Cook School. She entered preschool a rather timid child and has truly blossomed. The teachers are kind, caring and enthusiastic. The curriculum is terrific, and the facilities are immensely improved with the addition of the new gym. The parents are dedicated, generous and involved. It's a great school!
Our daughter has flourished at CCS. Believe me when I say that the teachers are second to none. They genuinely care about the students and encourage them to pursue whatever talents they have. The curriculum is demanding -- as a first grader, my daughter used to come home exhausted, but she learned so much. CCS needs to improve on its sports activities, but next year will be the first full year with the new gym, and I think we will see a dramatic change. What's truly wonderful to see is the level of parent involvement -- despite its growing pains, CCS is a closely-knit community where students are supported not only by their parents, but by other parents, teachers and staff. This is a fantastic school!
Our daughter has attended Catherine Cook for 4 years. We have been very pleased with the quality of the faculty we have encountered. The school is in the midst of a major expansion and has had its share of growing pains and faculty turnover. Communication from the administration could be improved and the attitude from the headmasters office seems to be 'my way or the highway.' After kindergarten the student/teacher ratios increase significantly. The programs are very good, the students are very well educated and behaved. Foreign language, art and physical education offerings are all excellent.
Our children are in pre-K and First grade. Overall the teacher quality is excellent. Our first grader has been making excellent progress and receives a lot of attention as class size is small.
Strong academics; extra-curriculars should impove upon completion of the school's new gymnasium.
Both of our kids graduated from CCS starting at JK. One is now a junior at Latin, and the other is a sophomore at Trinity College in Hartford CT. The quality of the teachers and close knit family of parents supporting the school paved the way for their academic success. It should be the elementry school of first choice for parents interested in making education fun and engaging.
CCS now has enrollment of almost 370 and a new two year old transition program. The gym should be open in September 2005. Don Monroe, former head of Francis Parkewr is the Interim Head as we search for a new permanent Head to be in place for 2005. An exciting time for us and a great place for our children.
The Catherine Cook School has a great community with teachers and parents working together to provide the best environment for the kids.
Catherine Cook is the best kept secret in the city!

text: In 2002 my parents were wonderful and bought me a brand new Ford Focus. I was the envy of all my friends! While I owned that Focus I took extreme care of it and treated it like my baby. In 2005 I moved out of my parents house and had to give my Focus to my brother. I cried for weeks! In the 5 years my brother owned "my" car he put it through hell! I was heartbroken he treated "my" car so horrible! He got in a handful of accidents with it, resulting in a lot of damage, and for the last year it sat in his driveway totally untouched. My fiance, who LOVES Fords, asked me about the car and I told him how it was my first car and how great of a car it WAS. I know he could see how hurt I was that the Focus was in shambles. My fiance talked to my brother and offered to buy the Focus for $200. My brother said he'll sell it for a new XBOX 360 ($300) and my fiance said SOLD! My wonderful fiance "drove" the car home and I instantly starting bawling. I was so shocked and excited he bought my car!! For a week, after work, my fiance bought new parts for the Focus and worked on it. He replaced a broken stablizer bar, rotors, brakes, spark plugs, motors for the rear windows, side view mirror, windshield, etc. My fiance even fixed some of the body damage it had. I scrubbed the inside of the Focus and filled our outside garbage can full of my brother's junk he left in the car. Once everyting was fixed up we put our daughter's carseat in the back and my fiance handed me the keys. We drove around town for 2 hrs with me crying off and on. It looks almost as good as it did when I drove off the lot for the first time! I feel like we gave my Focus a second chance and there's no way i'm letting it go again! This is proof that a Ford can take a beating and keep going! I plan to drive my Ford for many years to come!

Hours after one son was arrested for drug possession on Tuesday, his other son got into a gnarly head-on car accident -- and now, Hollywood legend Ryan O'Neal tells TMZ, his family is "falling apart."
The first son, 26-year-old Redmond O'Neal -- who has a long history with drugs -- pled "not guilty" to heroin possession and unlawful possession of a firearm this morning ... but Ryan tells us, the kid "has a real problem."
Ryan hasn't seen his other son -- 46-year-old Griffin O'Neal -- in years ... but thankfully, he heard through the grapevine ... Griffin wasn't seriously injured in Tuesday's head-on collision.
All in all, Ryan's still optimistic despite the familial setbacks -- insisting, "We'll come back."
He just doesn't have one messed up kid all of his kids are messed up. He has to take some of the blame for being such a BAD father. I don't feel sorry for him you get out of your kids what you put into them and he clearly didn't try hard enough.
Yes, your son has a real problem Ryan, just like the other 2 did (or have)..Griffin had his 1st stint in rehab at what, 14? When a parent has 1 kid an addict you figure, it happens. But Ryan, you're 3 for 3. And they learned it all from dear old dad.
Memo to Redmond O'Neal: Please get help, even if you must do so behind bars. Consider this arrest your final wake-up call.
Your mother had a terrible disease, but she fought it with every ounce of strength in her. You've got another terrible disease. You can follow her example and do the same.
It's a matter of life or death. Your own.
Lately we've heard a lot about famous drug abusers who died at age 27. Redmond O'Neal is 26.
just a typical celeb family.and I wonder why so many people look to celebs as enlightened there narcissistic idiots who got beat up in school.
The funny thing Ryan O'Neal never 'gets' is . . . the one thing in common with all the people in his life who are screwed up is . . . HIM. He seems to be one of the most narcissistic people in the world. Almost psychopathic . . because he seemingly makes no effort to see his part in anything or acknowledge truths and the consequences of HIS part to play in all of this.
Where does this ahole get the money to have a huge house on Malibu beach? He hasn't worked in decades. It must be Farrah's money.
Tatum needs to stay far, far away from him and save her friends the embarrassment of having to fend off the dirty old man. She will relapse being around him just like Redmond did - mark my words.
hes old enough to have a 46 year old son??
hes old enough to have a 46 year old son??
Your family wouldn't be falling apart if you'd have been there as a father. You were into drugs, alcohol and womanizing when they were very young kids. Doing these things right in front of them to boot. Then Farrah came into the picture so you ditched them. You're a selfish
person only into yourself.
You'll go to your grave in denial and the kids will suffer for the rest of their lives trying to figure you out.
sonny, Griffin was convicted of Manslaughter. Um...you know..an ACCIDENT. ACCIDENT = AN UNINTENDED EVENT. NO MALICE. I feel Copola's son was old enough to know what was what that night in that speed boat. He played, he paid. Its unfortunate, but...Griffin should not be guilty of a crime.
Okay, perhaps Ryan wasn't the greatest father in the world.
For everyone to blame Ryan is ridiculous, these "kids" are adults. Tatum & Griffin are in their 40's. It's time to shut up and stop whining about Daddy and take responsibility for themselves. I can't stand Tatum in their reality show...whine, whine, whine.
Redmond is in his 20's, had two parents that raised him, wasn't "deserted". They are spoiled brats, each and every one of them.
Not everyone has a perfect childhood (I had a drunk for a father who abused us and my Mom, I lived in fear every single day), you grow up, move on and get over it.
The kid is screwed up because of the old man. As they say the nut does not fall far from the tree. A family of addicts. A Pathetic group.
To be clear on my previous statement. Yes, his children are adults, and should be help accountable. But, he is the common link in this whole mess. I think there is blame to go around
I have to admit, I don't know much about Ryan O'Neal, but when ALL 3 of you children are drug addicts or hate you, I would have to say the fault lies with Mr. O'Neal. He needs to get over himself, and try to salvage his relationship with is children. Just my opinion.

Which is mightier, the pen or the sword?Friday, August 22nd, 2014
[ by Charles Cameron -- an open question to our readers, and a koan for strategists ]
It is one of the world's great questions, and a central koan for strategists: which is mightier, the pen or the sword? I found it posed yesterday in two cartoons memorializing the journalist James Foley in British newspapers.
The sword was made in Britain, The Times suggests.
According to The Independent, the pen is mightier.
sword pen
To the sword goes the short term, vicious victory — but it was and is the pen, surely, whose power was so persuasive that the sword was brought out to defeat it, and the pen, surely, that will triumph in the end.
James Foley, RIP. Daniel Pearl, RIP.
The tragic irony is that both journalists worked for a better understanding of Islam as a peaceable religion, and were brutally murdered in Islam's name for their pains.

Spelling Irregular Verbs Study Guide
Regular verbs have a variety of tenses. The same is true of irregular verbs. In this lesson, you will learn what irregular verbs are and how you can best remember the correct ways to form them.
NOW THAT YOU understand the various verb tenses and how regular verbs are conjugated, let's look at the irregular verbs. With regular verbs, which comprise the majority of verbs in the English language, you can add -ed to the end of the word with little or no change (aside from some words that require you to double the final consonant or only add -d to words already ending in -e). With irregular verbs, however, that is not the case. Irregular verbs are words that don't follow a predictable pattern, like adding -ed to form the past tense. Unfortunately, for people who like to follow rules closely, there are many irregular verbs in the English language. The only way to learn the conjugation of these verbs into tenses is to memorize them.
Common Irregular Verbs
The following chart shows the conjugation of most common irregular verbs. Don't let yourself be intimidated by the number of verbs that are irregular. The more you look at the list, the more you'll realize that you are already very familiar with many of these words and their spellings. In fact, for many people, this list will simply serve as a reminder of how the verbs are spelled.
As you read through the list, take note of words whose spelling does not make sense to you, or with which you are not familiar. Highlight those words and either add them to your spelling list or create flash cards based on them.
The chart groups the irregular verbs together based on the patterns they follow when forming the past tense and the past participle.
TIP: Watch out for the verb to be, which is conjugated unlike any other verb. It is the only verb in the English language with an infinitive that differs from the present tense form. The infinitive is to be while the present tense is am, is, or are. So you would say:
- I am hungry. (first person singular)
- We are hungry. (first person plural)
- You are hungry. (second person)
- He (or she) is hungry. (third person singular)
- They are hungry. (third person plural)
The past tense and past participle forms are even trickier. The past tense of to be is was or were. The past participle form is been. For these forms, you would say:
- I was hungry. I had been hungry. (first person singular)
- We were hungry. We had been hungry.
- You were hungry. You had been hungry.
He (or she) was hungry. He (or she) had been hungry. (third person singular)
They were hungry. They had been hungry. (third person plural) To be is the most common verb in the English language. But because it is confusing to conjugate, it is often misused. Memorizing the tenses of to be will help you improve not only your spelling but your grammar as well.

U.S., Britain press Syrian opposition to attend Geneva peace talksUpdated: 2014-01-14 14:28:33 KST
With around one week remaining until the Syria peace conference, known as Geneva 2, kicks off in the Swiss city, the United States and Britain are pressing the Syrian Opposition Coalition to attend the talks, warning the coalition that they may stop supporting them to the extent they have if they fail to show up.
This according to a senior official from the coalition, who asked not to be named.
He added other countries like France, Saudi Arabia and Turkey asked the coalition come, but in a less assertive tone.
Washington and London's stronger demand comes after the "Friends of Syria", an international group who oppose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, called for the Syrian opposition's attendance during a meeting in Paris on Sunday.
Earlier the rebels had said they would only attend if President Assad plays no role.
The coalition says it will decide on its participation by Friday.
The Assad regime has already submitted its list of attendees.
It's also unclear whether Iran, which has a major influence in Syria, will attend, with deep divisions among world powers on that subject.
The U.S. and Britain say Iranian delegates can come to Geneva if they accept the call for a power transition away from the Assad regime, but Russia wants Iran there whatever the conditions.
This according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov who held talks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris on Monday.
Lavrov and Kerry were joined by UN envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, where the three officials also talked about possible preconditions ahead of the peace talks.
"But we talked today about the possibility to encourage a ceasefire, maybe a localized ceasefire beginning with Aleppo and both of us have agreed to try to work to see if that could be achieved."
Possible prisoner exchanges and opening humanitarian access to besieged areas were discussed too, with the aim of creating a better atmosphere in Geneva.

TUESDAY, March 15 (HealthDay News) -- The cholera epidemic in
Haiti this year will be far worse than the 400,000 cases predicted
by the United Nations, new study findings indicate.
There could be nearly twice as many cases of the potentially
deadly diarrheal disease -- an estimated 779,000 -- between March
and November of this year, according to researchers at the
University of California, San Francisco and Harvard Medical
The discrepancy is important because U.N. projections determine
the allocation of resources to fight the disease, said the authors
of the study, published March 16 in
The Lancet.
"The epidemic is not likely to be short-term," Dr. Sanjay Basu, a UCSF medical resident, said in a university news release. "It is going to be larger than predicted in terms of sheer numbers and will last far longer than the initial projections."
The cholera epidemic erupted in Haiti after last year's
devastating earthquake. Cholera -- spread from person-to-person
through contaminated food and water -- can be deadly if untreated.
In most cases, treatment for the diarrhea caused by the disease
involves rehydration with salty liquids.
Late last year, the U.N. projected that a total of 400,000
people in Haiti would eventually become infected with cholera. They
reached that total by assuming that cholera would infect 2 to 4
percent of Haiti's population of 10 million. But the U.N. estimate
did not take into account existing disease trends, or factors such
as where water was contaminated, how the disease is transmitted, or
human immunity to cholera, Basu said.
Basu and colleague Dr. Jason Andrews, a fellow at the
Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, used
data from Haiti's Ministry of Health and other sources to develop a
more sophisticated model of the spread of cholera in several
provinces in Haiti.
That led to their predictions of 779,000 cases of cholera and
about 11,100 deaths in the next eight months.
The researchers also examined the impact of making clean water
more available and the use of vaccines or antibiotics. They found
that a 1 percent decrease in the number of people who drink
contaminated water would prevent more than 100,000 cases of cholera
and about 1,500 deaths this year.
In addition, simply offering vaccination to an estimated 10
percent of the population could save about 900 lives, and more
widespread use of antibiotics could prevent 9,000 cases of cholera
and about 1,300 deaths.

Mango Muffin experiments
- ZenSojourner Oct 30, 2010 05:43 PM
I love mangos and my son has a bunch of mango pulp in the pantry that's just been sitting around.
So today I thought I'd try some mango muffins. It's not a very common thing to find a recipe for, however. I finally found a recipe that used the pulp instead of the whole fruit, but it looked way too wet.
This is what I tried:
1c mango pulp
2 eggs
1/4c oil
1/4c sugar (cut from 1 c)
1c milk
1 T baking powder
2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
I INTENDED to cut the milk to 1/2c but forgot and put in the whole cup instead. Sure enough it made a very wet batter. I also intended to use 1/2c sugar but for some reason used 1/4c instead - probably I cut it by half in my head, and then while measuring, cut THAT in half again.
Baked in a 350 oven for 30 minutes.
Sure enough, that batter was way too wet. The muffins taste ok - I was worried I had cut the sugar by too much, but now I'm sure that 1 c of sugar would have been WAY too much. 1/2c would probably be alright, but 1/4c is fine. I don't have much of a sweet tooth so YMMV.
The problem is the texture is all wrong. I can't describe it really - the batter was very fluffy and full of holes. Possibly because it was too wet? CUPCAKES don't come out like this. I used paper cups and the paper peels away taking a significant portion of muffin with it. They taste ok, but the texture spoils it.
I'm debating trying again with half the milk as I originally intended, or just leaving the milk out altogether, maybe increasing the mango pulp to 1.5 c.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
re: visciole
Oooh, good idea, I hadn't thought of that!
re: ZenSojourner
Maybe it might even be similar in texture/sweetness to mashed banana? In which case you could try banana bread recipes.
With mango pulp I'd think of using ginger or maybe a touch of almond extract. Mango muffins sound yummy -- maybe I'll have to go make my own experiment now!
re: visciole
No, it's more like - well the closest I can think of is the Campbells Cheese Soup my dad used to love. It's a thick smooth puree like that, maybe a little bit thicker. I think the applesauce idea was pretty spot on.
I should be baking up another batch tomorrow, or maybe Sunday. We'll see what happens.
i have a terrific recipe, unfortunately it's on my computer back home and i'm out of town. i'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback before then, but when i get back in a few days i'll post it for you if you want...just let me know!
in the meantime, the problem with your experiment is the ratio of dry to wet ingredients. muffins are typically 2:1 flour to liquid (not including eggs or oil)...so your instinct about changes to make for the next try was correct in terms of the milk, but i have another suggestion for tweaking it....
- lose the milk altogether and use 1/2 cup of buttermilk or yogurt instead
- increase the flour by 1/2 cup
- use 1/4 cup plus 2 T sugar
- keep everything else the same
oh, and those "holes" were air tunnels from over-mixing. use as few strokes as needed just to combine all the ingredients. never *beat* muffin batter.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Yes, I did inadvertently do that (overbeat)! While I was folding in the flour, I was thinking to myself, "Now, do I beat the heck out of this, or is this like biscuits and cookie dough and I just barely mix?" While I was thinking that it got to be too late, LOL!
Yes, do send on your recipe when you get home, if it's not too much trouble. I like to compare recipes and fiddle around with them, I get ideas from different recipes for things to try.
Oh yeah, and I forgot, I also put in 1 T of vanilla in my recipe.
re: ZenSojourner
yep. i figured i had you on the over-mixing, it's always the culprit with tunneling ;)
just so you know, i suggested yogurt or buttermilk for 2 reasons - to add a bit of tang to the flavor, and because the extra acid (on top of what's already in the baking powder) helps keep the crumb tender and adds a little lift. you can always sour your own milk by adding a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and letting it sit for a few minutes.
i'll be sure to post my recipe for you when i get home later in the week!
i would reduce your mango pulp to a "mango butter." you can do this even in the microwave. add a little brown sugar to it. then nuke for one minute intervals, stirring in between, til it thickens and reduces, and the moisture is less, and the texture gooey. this is what i do for pumpkin cookies and whatnot.
Thank you, lots of good ideas already!
I am going to go look up applesauce muffin recipes for comparison. I do think this needs more mango flavor so I'm going to go ahead and increase the mango pulp. I will add the extra sugar and flour that's been suggested. I don't have any buttermilk or yoghurt on hand but I think by increasing the amount of mango pulp I'll still have the suggested ratio (or close to it) of liquid to flour.
Oh yeah, and this is canned mango pulp, it's actually more like mango puree. Well, it really IS mango puree, but most folks call it mango pulp. It's the stuff you find in the cans in Indian groceries.
Gonna look up those applesauce recipes before doing anything final.
These tasted better and held together better after I let them "set up" for awhile. I guess I was too impatient and didn't let them cool completely before tasting! They still peel some off onto the paper cup but not like before. They taste ok, but the texture is still all wrong.
re: ZenSojourner
I think cut-up dried mangos would be really good in muffins.
re: ZenSojourner
I'm not sure it is added. Could it be the natural sugars crystallizing during the drying process? The ones I have make no mention of sugar on the ingredient list.
re: Veggo
Nope, these mango slices have been dried and then coated in sugar. Where they're folded over - no sugar. Other kinds I've bought in the past - at least some of them - don't have this sugar coating. I don't eat a lot of dried fruit other than mangos, but I use dried peaches and dried apricots to make a chutney, those aren't coated. I've seen some dried cantelope/muskmelon type stuff that is coated.
I guess I should have looked at the ingredients before I bought them - sugar is ingredient #2.
Oh well, should still be OK for chopping up and putting in muffins. Might help with the not-enough-mango flavor thing I've got goin' on.
re: ZenSojourner
if you reduce the mango first to mango butter, this will concentrate the flavor, as you'll need more mango to make the amount of pulp you'll need. insta-mangofied.
OK, so as it turns out, it's not quite as mango-heavy as i thought - i developed the recipe for a friend a couple of years ago. if you want to increase the mango flavor, just omit the apple and sub extra mango instead. to use mango puree instead of the whole fruit, sub sugar (i prefer coconut or turbinado) for the agave - that will help balance the dry:wet ingredient ratio. oh, and you can easily bake it in muffin tins instead of a loaf pan - that's one of the things i love about quick breads - versatility :)
GHG's WHOLE WHEAT MANGO QUICK BREAD
1 large egg plus 2 large egg whites
¼ cup grapeseed oil
2½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
¾ cup raw agave nectar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large mango, peeled, pitted & diced [should yield 1 – 1¼ cup]
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored & grated [should yield 1 cup]
¾ cup dried cherries or cranberries [soaked/rehydrated in ¼ cup pomegranate or apple juice, and drained]
grated zest of ½ lime
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan, dust the inside with flour and tap out excess.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, oil and agave nectar.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and salt. Pour wet ingredients into dry, and mix with a wooden spoon or heavy rubber spatula until blended [batter will be very thick]. Fold in the mango, apples, cherries or cranberries, and lime zest. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
Bake on the center rack for 90 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. [If it looks as though the top is browning too much as it bakes, tent loosely with foil.]
Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the pan, unmold, and cool right side up on a rack.

Sit down in your favorite lawn chair for a little over ten minutes and sip some iced tea. Find out about a little-known story involving Susan B. Anthony and the 4th of July. Doris Stevens wrote this splendid piece in 1920. It's the first chapter of her book, "Jailed for Freedom," and you can listen to it right now. This reading is in the public domain and brought to the Suffrage Wagon News Channel by LibriVox.

I'm coming back for you California
Since I needed to finally update the audio for the page I've selected one of my favourite songs for summer :D Hope you enjoy the mix!
So instead of studying I would want to update everyone on these past two years of me being gone :) so ask away if you're alive!
I have been attempting to get back into Tumblr but university kills me sometimes …. I made the stupid choice of taking summer school so I am suffering with exams :(
But I am leaving for Los Angeles in a couple of days!
After almost two years on hiatus (I know I'm such a sloth) I think I have finally jumped back on the Tumblr train :P.
Did anyone miss me :D?
Guys I am delaying posts for a bit cause I am in Chicago :) so bare with me <3
