Brunch is great for celebrating holidays, and special occasions, like graduations and wedding showers.
Calories and fat can add up in traditional brunch fare, however.
Here's how to savor the flavor of your favorite brunch foods without giving good nutrition the slip -- with recipe ideas to get you started.
How to Plan a Healthier Brunch
Brunch combines breakfast and lunch, so it's OK to eat a bit more at this mid-day meal. Whether or not you splurge, always make your calories count. Brunch is no excuse for wasting energy on lackluster foods that provide little in the way of good nutrition.
As you plan your brunch menu, keep these tips in mind:
• Use the most flavorful ingredients you can afford. When food is fresh and tastes great you tend to use less in preparation, and you feel more satisfied with smaller portions.
• Include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, fortified eggs, and lower-fat dairy products in brunch dishes. Nutrient-rich foods pack more vitamins, minerals, and fiber for the calories.
• Cut back on calories with reduced-fat hard cheese, Canadian bacon (which has less fat and more protein than regular bacon), and low-fat cottage cheese as a stand-in for feta in omelets and salads.
• Improve nutrition by doubling up on chopped vegetables in cold pasta salads, and by serving fresh berries topped with Greek yogurt.
• For fun and good nutrition, offer healthy foods that you may not eat on a regular basis, such as smoked salmon, which is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fats and high-quality protein.
Healthy Brunch Recipes
Mango Yogurt Parfait With Sliced Almonds
Greek yogurt offers twice the protein of regular; mangoes are packed with beta carotene, vitamin C, and fiber; and almonds offer vitamin E.
\Makes 6 servings.
- 2 large ripe mangos, peeled, pitted and cubed
- 3 cups low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 12 tablespoons slivered almonds
In a food processor or blender, puree one mango. Spoon equal amounts of the puree into 6 medium-sized parfait glasses. Top pureed mango in each glass with 1/4 cup yogurt. Spoon cubed mango on top of the yogurt, then layer with the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt and reserved mango. Just before serving, top each glass with 2 tablespoons slivered almonds.
Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche
Evaporated milk is the main source of calcium in this bone-building dish, which also boasts antioxidant- and fiber-rich broccoli. The absence of a crust cuts down on the fat content. Use fortified eggs for more omega-3 fats, and vitamins B 12, D, and E.
Makes 6 servings.
- 2 tablespoons trans-fat free tub margarine
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 12-ounce can 2% evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 10-ounce box chopped frozen broccoli, thawed, or 2 cups broccoli, cooked and chopped
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-inch pie plate with nonstick vegetable cooking spray.
In a medium skillet, heat the margarine over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, flour, and pepper. Set aside.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese into the pie pan. Top with the cooked onions and the broccoli.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the pie pan. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
Raisin Walnut Bread
Whole wheat flour and oatmeal lend whole grain goodness; unsweetened applesauce and raisins lend natural sweetness; and the walnuts contribute heart-healthy fat and beneficial antioxidants.
Makes 2 loaves.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups uncooked one-minute oatmeal
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 cups raisins
- 1.5 cups chopped walnuts
- 2.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
Heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour two loaf pans.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, oatmeal, brown sugar, raisins, and walnuts. Stir until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, canola oil, eggs, and milk.
Add the applesauce mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Fill the prepared pans with the batter, dividing evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let bread cool before slicing.
Delicious, Nutritious, and Easy Brunch Fare
Tight on time? You don't need hours to prepare a nutritious and delicious brunch that your guests will love. This mix-and-match fare takes just minutes to make and allows you more time to enjoy the company.
• 100% orange juice with a splash of sparkling wine and pomegranate juice for the adults. Children can have a mixture of the juices, without the wine.
• Scrambled eggs in whole wheat pita pockets topped with salsa, grated cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, and black beans.
• Pancakes from a box, with a boost of calcium and protein. Combine 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt, 1 large egg, and 1 cup pancake mix. Top cooked pancakes with sliced strawberries or other berries and dust with powdered sugar.
• Smoked salmon served on toasted whole grain bagel thins or sandwich thins spread with low-fat herbed cream cheese; serve with sliced tomato and cucumber.
• Chocolate-dipped dried apricots: Melt semi-sweet chocolate (dark chocolate, if you have a choice) in a double boiler or in the microwave. Dip half of each of the dried apricots in the chocolate. Place on wax paper and allow to set for 30-60 minutes.
• Cherry-Banana Cooler: Place 1 banana in a blender or food processor and process on high until smooth. Add 1/2 cup frozen or fresh sweet pitted cherries, 3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and sugar to taste, if desired. Process until blended. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.
• For a quick pasta salad, cook 2 cups whole wheat pasta. Drain and rinse with cold water. In a large bowl, toss pasta with a mixture of 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Add 12 ounces artichoke hearts, drained; 2 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained, 4 ounces feta cheese, 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, and 2 large, chopped tomatoes. Combine.

When your child is injured or suddenly becomes sick, you and your pediatrician want the best treatment possible, and you want it now! So where do you go for fast treatment without an appointment—to a nearby Walk-In Medical Center, or to a Children's Emergency Center? And should you drive, or call 911?
Here's a set of guidelines to help you get appropriate care for your child in the fastest way.
When To Call An Ambulance:
If your child has severe bleeding, trouble breathing, is unconscious, or may have an injury to the neck or spine, call 911 for an ambulance to take you to the Children's Emergency Center at Bridgeport Hospital.
(If you're in doubt, remember this: Calling an ambulance in an emergency is never the wrong thing to do—it means your child will get professional care even before you reach the Emergency Center.)
When To Use The Children's Emergency Center:
An emergency center is needed if your child is seriously injured or ill. For children, a pediatric emergency center such as the one at Bridgeport Hospital is best, because the staff has the skills and the child-sized equipment to treat any situation. Injuries that require emergency center care include:
(When in doubt, check with your pediatrician for advice.)
When To Take Your Child To The Closest Walk-In Medical Center:
If the problem is not one of those discussed above, but in your judgement it requires prompt treatment and your pediatrician is not available, a walk-in center can usually take care of problems such as:
Urgent Care For Your Child
The Pediatric Emergency Center in Bridgeport Hospital's Emergency Department is the only Emergency Center in Eastern Fairfield County that's dedicated to children.
Walk-In Medical Centers affiliated with Bridgeport Hospital are located in several communities:

Comments about Logitech UE Bluetooth® Boombox:
This speaker is great.. I have brought it camping, used it on the deck, and at parties. It is easy to carry, and the 6 hour battery life is usually more than enough time to get by. I have used several portable speakers, and so far this has been one of my favorites.
Best Features:
- No need to buy Batteries. This can save you hundreds of dollars over the live of your speaker. I have had units that take 4-8 D batteries, and they often do not last to much longer then this unit.
- Easy to Connect: No wires are needed, and once you are synced via Bluetooth the first time, it is simple to get it going next time. It is also easy to switch to another phone, or tablet to stream someone else audio.
- Compact Design: It is large enough to have great sound, and adequate base, but small enough to pack in your beach bag, or keep it on the picnic table while at a campsite.
Overall I love this product. It is a little $$$ but, in this case you get what you pay for.

http://news.yahoo.com/romney-promise...-election.htmlWading into an explosive social issue, Republican Mitt Romney on Tuesday said he would not pursue any abortion-related legislation if elected president.
"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda," he told the Des Moines Register in an interview posted on the newspaper's website.
The former Massachusetts governor said he would instead use an executive order to reinstate the so-called Mexico City policy that bans American aid from funding abortions. President Barack Obama waived the order soon after taking office.
Romney's statement to the newspaper represents an apparent shift on a topic Obama's campaign has tried to use against him, particularly with female voters. Soon after the comments were posted on the Register's website, the president's campaign pounced.
"We know the truth about where he stands on a woman's right to choose: He's said he'd be delighted to sign a bill banning all abortions, and called Roe v. Wade 'one of the darkest moments in Supreme Court history,' while pledging to appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn it. Women simply can't trust him," Obama spokeswoman Lis Smith said.
As recently as a presidential debate in January, Romney said the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion across the nation....
...Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul did not back away from the Des Moines Register comments when asked for clarification Tuesday night.
"Mitt Romney is proudly pro-life, and he will be a pro-life president," she said
At least his campaign came out and assured everyone he will be a pro-life president. No, really, he will be, he just wont do anything about it on American soil. Stop laughing, he really will be a pro-life president!

Amid the still-buzzing crowd, going wild over the evening's previous championship match, the announcer at St. Albans School took the microphone, clicked it on and began speaking.
He was introducing the finalists for the 145-pound wrestling bout at the prestigious St. Albans Tournament in Washington, D.C.
"And from Georgetown Prep, a junior with a record of 36-4, a three-time Interstate Athletic Conference champion who placed fourth at National Preps last season and plays clarinet in his school's jazz band, Michael Sprague," he said.
Sprague — a smaller, if not unimposing figure — twisted his head and shot a quizzical look at his coach, Mike Kubik.
Sprague didn't play the clarinet or any instruments, actually.
"Everyone has a joke prepared for if and when they reach the finals," Kubik said with a laugh. "[Sprague's] style is really weird. It's like wrestling a ball of clay. We call him Miles Davis because he's always improvising."
True to form, Sprague molded himself into exactly what he needed to be during that final match and scored a 3-1 victory against Wyoming Seminary's Jake Savoca. Sprague entered the championship telling himself he needed to score a takedown against Savoca — a wrestler from the famed Pennsylvania prep school. He did just that, and it ended up being the difference.
"I was excited to win a big tournament that I've gone to the past few years after losing by a point in the finals last year," he said.
With a sterling record, humble demeanor and a haircut fit for a prep school student, Sprague has wrestled his way to a fourth-place ranking in the state and is hoping for more success in the year's final two tournaments: the Maryland Independent State Tournament and National Preps.
Sprague, who also is an accomplished diver for the Hoyas, almost never had the opportunity to attend Georgetown Prep.
When Sprague was in second grade, his mother, Carol, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She beat the deadly disease and was seemingly healthy for roughly five years. Then, in December of Sprague's eighth-grade year — he was 14 — Carol visited her doctor. The cancer was back. It was all over her body and little could be done. She died four months later.
One of Carol's lasting wishes was for Michael to attend Georgetown Prep. Enter Rick Robinson, the school's diving coach and psychologist of 29 years.
"Basically, she told me before she died that, 'Could I see to it that Michael got to Prep and that I would take care of him?'" Robinson said. "I said, 'I would.'"
Around the same time Sprague applied for admission to Prep, his father lost his job. Robinson knew the school had to support Sprague financially, so that he could support himself.
"I think losing your mom the way he did. ... It was so fast," said Robinson, who met Sprague and his mom at a local pool when Sprague was 8. "I would go up to the hospital and look at him and you could see the sadness in his eyes. For him, being an eighth grader, you definitely worry about things like depression and the complicated grieving that comes with it. But I think I was able to help him with it, make it a little easier for him to talk about it."
Sprague, who is quiet by nature and still wears braces that make him look younger than he actually is, said at the time of his mother's death his new friends at Prep helped him through the sadness with laughter. So did wrestling and diving.
"It's still a work in progress," Sprague said of coping with such an unthinkable loss. "I think I'm doing pretty well. Just having great friends and always telling jokes, it really makes things enjoyable."
Sprague began diving when he was 4 and wrestling when he was 7. He also plays rugby in the spring and used to play football and lacrosse and is a black belt in karate. On school nights, he splits his time between the two winter sports practices — diving right after school and wrestling later in the evening. Sprague won an Interstate Athletic Conference diving title last year and, alongside his girlfriend, serves as a diving instructor during the summer for kids ages 4-18 at their community pool.
"It's something at Prep that hasn't been done very often," Robinson said of Sprague. "I don't think there's a faculty member at Prep that doesn't know him and doesn't believe he's one of the nicest and most talented kids in the school.
"When he won the diving championship last year, especially, it was very emotional for his dad and for me. We felt like his mom must be down here looking at him. And she must be so happy to see him accomplishing everything she wanted for him."

This was so easy and it tasted really good. It had the consistency of a quiche or possibly a souffle or custard probably because of the egg. I did cook it longer than the recipe called for. Very cheesy.
This recipe was easy and I already had the ingredients in my cupboard. my grandkids raved about it over and over and they ate so much their stomach hurt. Music to this Grandmas ears.
My picky eaters loved this. This is the only mac and cheese I have gotten them to eat that wasn't out of a box! I did look at others reviews and change thing in the recipe accordingly. I doubled the cheese and the egg and added an extra cup of milk. I pre-made this in the morning baked for 15 to get the cheese melted and mixed so noodles wouldn't dry out, I covered and placed in refrigerator then baked (it took the full 30 min to heat through). This dish turned out awesome! I made 2 13x9 pans and after baking froze 1 so I'm excited to see how it does!

Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
Mars 6 was one of two landers launched by the Soviet Union during the 1973 launch window. The landers were very similar in design to the Mars 2 and Mars 3 landers dispatched by the Soviets in 1971, except that the spacecraft was now composed of a flyby vehicle (instead of an orbiter) and a lander.
Mars 6 completed its first midcourse correction en route to Mars on 13 August 1973. A few days later, there was a major failure in the telemetry system that transmitted scientific and operations data from the spacecraft. Only two channels remained operational, neither of which provided the ground with any data on the status of the flyby vehicle's systems.
Amazingly, the flyby spacecraft automatically performed all its functions, and on 12 March 1974, the lander successfully separated from its mother ship at a distance of 48,000 kilometers from Mars. Three hours later, it entered the Martian atmosphere. The parachute system deployed correctly at an altitude of 20 kilometers, and scientific instruments began to record data as the probe descended. Data seemed to indicate that the lander was rocking back and forth under its parachute far more vigorously than expected. Moments before expected landing, Earth lost contact with the probe.
The last confirmed data was information on ignition of the soft-landing engines at 08:58:20 UT. The probe landed at 09:11 UT at 23°54' south latitude and 19°25' west longitude. Later investigation never conclusively identified a single cause of loss of contact. Probable reasons included failure of the radio system or landing in a geographically rough area. All data from the Mars 6 lander was transmitted via the Mars 6 flyby bus, which also collected scientific information during its short flyby.

*This article is part of a special internet edition*
KANE – Ken VanGiesen always has been a soldier's soldier.
He earned this distinction by his attention to detail in every assignment he was ever given as a 12-year member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
VanGiesen, the 30-year-old son of Tom and Sue VanGiesen of 137 Lincoln St., Kane, died Monday when an "improvised explosive device (IED)" exploded on a convoy near Bagram in eastern Afghanistan. Two other soldiers riding in the same vehicle also were killed in the explosion. Five others were wounded.
"Ken was a great soldier," Major Tim Foor said Wednesday in praising VanGiesen. "He was well-liked by all our soldiers."
Foor is the executive officer for the 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry, Stryker Brigade based at Cambridge Springs, about 20 miles south of Erie.
For the past four years, VanGiesen has worked full-time as a technical expert in the field maintenance shop at the National Guard center. This $19.5-million center that opened in 2007 is linked with the Pennsylvania National Guard's transformation to a Stryker Brigade.
The National Guard facility includes a new readiness center and field maintenance shop at the Crawford County site. The readiness center is the new home to more than 400 Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry.
VanGiesen, who held the rank of staff sergeant, worked in the maintenance facility used to maintain and repair approximately 150 military vehicles, including Strykers-- four-wheel drive armored fighting vehicles.
Mike Noble, a chief warrant officer and head of the maintenance shop at Cambridge Springs, called VanGiesen "an outstanding guy who was loved by everybody."
"They don't come any better than Ken," Noble said. "He was very likable and was everybody's friend. He was a good leader. He was very intelligent and technically competent."
Noble served with VanGiesen in Iraq in 2008-09.
"Serving with Ken in Iraq made my deployment more tolerable," Noble said.
That was VanGiesen's second tour of duty in Iraq. He also was deployed in 2005-06 with other members of his "home" National Guard unit based at the armory along Chestnut Street in Kane. Until his deployment in Afghanistan in March, VanGiesen still had been attending drills with the Kane unit where he was trained as a military truck driver.
VanGiesen, who joined the National Guard after graduating from Kane Area High School in 1999, also was deployed in Germany in 2002-03.
According to Noble, VanGiesen has accumulated 1,400 "mobilized days" in overseas' deployments.
"Very few National Guard soldiers in our state have attained that level of service," Noble said. He believes only 15 other members of the Pennsylvania National Guard have served that many "mobilized days" in deployments.
Noble said VanGiesen was the only member of National Guard units in Cambridge Springs and Kane to be selected for the deployment in Afghanistan with the 131st Transportation Company, 213th Area Support Group, based in Williamstown and Philadelphia.
Noble said the 131st had a "spot" to fill and selected VanGiesen.
"I can see why they wanted him," Noble said. "They don't come any better."
Noble said he "did all I could" to keep VanGiesen on his job at the maintenance shop in Cambridge Springs. But Noble said the National Guard leaders decided that VanGiesen had the very qualifications they were looking for to fill a position with the 131st.
"We didn't want to see him go," Noble said. "But Ken told us: 'I'm going to go.'" "He didn't want to create a problem," Noble said. "That goes back to the Kenny we know and love."
Noble said VanGiesen maintained contact with his "buddies" at Cambridge Springs since his deployment in March and "called us whenever he could." "We talked to him just last week," Noble said. "He told us he was staying busy escorting convoys."
According to Noble, VanGiesen planned to attend Warrant Officer School at Fort Rucker, Ala. when he returned from Afghanistan, possibly in November.
Warrant officers are "highly specialized experts and trainers in their career fields," according to an Army document. "Warrant officers remain single-specialty officers with career tracks that progress within their specialty."
As can be expected, Noble said the mood at the field maintenance shop at Cambridge Springs is "pretty somber."
"It's like getting kicked in the gut," Noble said.
According to Noble, a National Guard chaplain has been conducting memorial services for VanGiesen on the base and has made himself available for "counseling" other soldiers.
Members of the 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry, Stryker Brigade in Cambridge Springs are scheduled to depart today for Fort Pickett, Va. for their annual two-week summer training program.
As of Wednesday evening, funeral services for VanGiesen have yet to be scheduled, according to Ronald McDonald, a Kane funeral director who is handling the rites.
Major Cory Angell, a Port Allegany native who serves as the public affairs officer for the Pennsylvania National Guard base near Harrisburg, said Wednesday that services for fallen soldiers often are held in school auditoriums or gymnasiums due to the large number of persons wishing to pay their respects.
Angell said the National Guard has trained teams of soldiers to conduct military funerals and would respond to Kane-- if requested by the family.
Angell said the Patriot Guard Riders, a motorcycle group, also would be available-- if the family extends an invitation.
This group claim it attends services of fallen soldiers to "show unwavering respect" for those who "risk their very lives for America's freedom and security."
The motorcycle riders also "shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protester or group of protesters."
The bodies of VanGiesen and his colleagues killed Monday were scheduled to arrive Wednesday at the Dover, Del. Air Force Base. Members of the VanGiesen family reportedly traveled to the base to be present when the fallen soldier arrived back in the U.S.
Although the Cambridge Springs unit is heading out today for its summer training, members plan to return to Kane for services for VanGiesen.
"We'll be there-- even if we have to steal a truck," one soldier quipped while listening to The Kane Republican interview with Noble on a speaker phone at the maintenance shop.

The first big holiday weekend of the summer is coming right up. Memorial Day is the kick off to summer.
As always, it's a good time to remember our loved ones who have left us.
Although it seems like summer was a long time coming this year with snow still hanging around in early May, the farmers have been going full bore the past couple of weeks to make up for the slow spring start.
Light up the barbecue and have some fun this weekend. After the long winter you never know if we may end up with a short summer. So, take advantage.
Hot dogs
I see Oscar Mayer is coming out this weekend with a bacon hot dog. The new concoction is only 130 calories per dog. It should be something that is worth giving a try this Memorial Day weekend.
The folks at Oscar Mayer are also now making gluten-free hot dogs and a new fat-free hot dog. So, you hot dog lovers will have all sorts of new items to try out. Be the first in your neighborhood to put a bacon dog on top of a hamburger to have a bacon dog burger! I'm sure a nice slice of American cheese on top would finish it off in fine shape.
More dogs
Not just dogs, but pets of all kinds. I read a survey that gives the percentage of households that have pets. It's interesting reading.
Iowa has a rate of 53.6 percent households with animals, which looks to be a little below average for the nation. The lowest percentage is in Washington, D.C., which only has 21.9 percent of the households with pets. The highest state is Vermont with 70.8 percent of households with animals. The lowest two states are Massachusetts with 50.4 percent and Nebraska with 51.3 percent.
The late-in-the-season snow days has extended some of the school districts in the area until after Memorial Day. I have heard from one teacher the kids are already getting a little "antsy" with the nice weather starting to move in.
I see they have started working on the baseball field at Creston High after last year's tornado. It will be good to see the field back in action once the building and grounds are completed.
Health care
The impending Obamacare sure has a lot of people wondering what is going to happen with health care. Just about every hospital person I talk to coast to coast says the number of people in the hospitals or the number of hours people are working has been cut back.
Most hospitals are preparing for the lesser amounts of money they will receive coming up.
It's going to be a long couple of years trying to figure out what is up with health care under the new plan. It looks like the younger folks are going to take the brunt of the new charges with some 25-34 year olds looking at premium increase of 25 to 50 percent to make up for some of the older people's premiums.
The new sign up starts Oct. 1 of this year.
I've been out planting a couple of trees this week. The sub soil seemed to be pretty moist about a foot or so down. I hope the darn things grow fast. They are only about two feet tall to start. Maybe by the time I retire they will be 10-15 feet tall.
Thought for the week: One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work. — Georgia O'Keeffe

Sorry about the lack of blogs lately, I've been busy playing poker and doing law school-related things, along with just being somewhat lazy about writing.
Across all forms of poker and at all buyin levels, I see endless betting mistakes. People bet when they should check-call, they raise when they should call, they check-raise when they should check-call, etc. Sometimes it's tilt that makes them make mistakes. Usually, they aren't really thinking through the possible outcomes of their options. But most of all, I find that people seriously misunderstand how aggression should be applied in poker.
Now, what do I mean by "playing for value"? It relates back to the fundamental theorem of poker, as outlined by Sklansky: "Every time you play a hand differently than you would have played it if you could see all your opponents' cards, they gain; every time you play a hand the same as you would have if you could see all their cards, they lose." So basically, if you decide to push a river where your opponent CAN'T call with a worse hand, but MAY fold a better hand, then you've gained some value there from the latter portion of the equation. In other words, always make sure that whenever you make a play, you are always giving your opponent a chance to make a mistake. If you push in a situation where your opponent can't call with a worse hand and can't fold a better hand, then you're making a huge error by making things easy for your opponent. This may sound simple, but I see this mistake happen all the time across all limits.
The first thing you have to decide when making betting decisions in poker is the showdown value of your hand. There are some times where you'd LOVE to showdown (holding the nuts), some situations where you're pretty confident you're best and some situations where you're on a complete bluff and praying for your opponent to fold. On every board, certain hands have certain values. Your hand value is also affected by your opponents, the action thus far, recent hands (ie, is the table on tilt), etc. As you gain more experience, you'll gain more knowledge about hand strength in certain situations. For those of you who have played hundreds of thousands of hands, you probably have a really good feel for when the 2nd nuts just isn't good despite the overall tremendous strength of holding the 2nd nuts on the river in any given hand. So how does this all affect playing for value? I'll explain my thoughts.
If you're on a bluff, then there's ALWAYS value in playing in an aggressive manner. The TV adage you hear often is "he can only win this pot if he bets." Everyone wants to buy pots, and you certainly have to do this sometimes if you want to be a winning poker player. Just playing great hands won't get you anywhere against good players. The value in bluffing, of course, comes from getting someone to fold a better hand. That doesn't mean that it's the right overall play because it might be a situation where your opponent doesn't fold often enough to make the bet worth it, but you are always getting some benefit from the possibility of a fold.
In the opposite scenario, let's say you hold the nuts on the river. Is there value in betting? Of course, your opponent could, possibly, call with a worse hand. Once again, it doesn't mean it's the best play if you're first to act, but you have, potentially, something to gain by betting.
In both situations above, you're sure of where your hand stands in value to your opponents hand. The tricky situations are hands in the middle ground: TPNK, MPTK, one card J high flush, etc. You could easily have the best hand, but it's pretty hard to win a big pot with it because your opponent will fold if you try to put too much money in the pot. And these are the hands where I see people make the biggest mistakes.
This hand happened in the last few days, but I am changing some things about it just to make sure no one knows where it came from (the player who played it asked me to make sure the details were not released).
25/50 NL, 6-max. Folded to the button, who makes a standard raise with KJs. SB folds, the BB makes it three times the button raise with AA, which is a standard re-raise in the game. Both the button and the BB are sitting with 10K, so they're both deep. The flop is J33. The BB leads out for the pot, which is about 1K, the button calls. Turn J. The BB checks, the button bets about 2K into the 3K pot and the BB shoves his 7.5K into the pot making it 5.5K more to go. The button obviously insta-calls and wins the 20K pot.
The showdown value of AA is almost always high. There's rarely a hand where I know for sure that AA is not good, although if I don't improve, I am often uncomfortable playing a big pot against a solid opponent. Anyway, the BB should want to show down AA, even on a double paired board. However, obviously, the check-raise all-in didn't make any sense because he basically gave away all of the potential value of his hand. Against most opponents, it's impossible to get called in that spot by a worse hand. In addition, it's also hard to get an opponent to fold a better hand as no one would fold a J and many people would still call with a 3. And some people say: "Well, the button doesn't have a hand he can call with most of the time, so it's okay." Quitely frankly, that's just wrong. If you think the button is bluffing, then why not check-call the turn? Then check-call the river. It's a preferable way to get your money in the pot than check-raising the turn. While you still get stacked fairly often if all of your money ends up in the pot, at the very least your opponent could still be on a bluff when all of the money ends up in the middle. And you really don't have to worry about draws on a 33JJ board when you have AA.
In retrospect, that hand seems simple and most people will probably laugh at that and say the BB is an idiot. That's possible. However, I'd bet everyone, including myself, makes serious betting mistakes where we make things very easy on our opponent. Whether it's raising a river just out of frustration or betting when check-calling is clearly preferable, we lose serious value by not giving our opponents a CHANCE to make a mistake. Pushing with AA there is a horrible investment. Raising a straight on a paired board with a made flush is a bad investment. Betting bottom set into a multi-way pot on the river when two draws got there is a bad investment. Sometimes, we need to let our aggressive nature go and realize the value of the check-call. Do I advocate folding just because a draw got there? No, not at all, as playing scared poker will lead to you playing losing poker. But you also have to realize, there's often more value in getting to showdown in a different manner than what you may be used to doing.
After writing this, I've realized that I've attempted to tackle something way more complicated than is fit for a blog entry. I have a lot of thoughts on betting that I haven't been able to communicate in this entry and there are a lot of points that I never even brought up. However, the bottom line remains: "Think before you act." Remember, you should always be thinking: "Can he call me with a worse hand? Can I get him to fold a better hand? Will he bluff with a worse hand if I check? If I'm on a complete bluff, what will he fold? Can I get him to fold on later streets if I show strength here and a scare card comes? etc etc." There are really endless situations where you need to think about the right way to play for value in poker. Just think before you act and always put your opponent on a range and you'll find that your results will improve vastly.

I was given a complete welding and cutting setup so I can fabricate some small cargo carts for my dogs. Its all really old stuff but still works great.
The welder is an Airco 1-8ADT-2-A
Stock no. 1353-0101 / BusyBee Transformer Welder / 180 Ampere AC MSM
I'm trying to find a manual for it and was told Miller might have one; as it is probably a re-branded Miller welder.
Does anyone know which manual might go with this welder? Help is greatly appreciated I tried looking through all of the online manuals, using the serial number; model number; keywords, etc. and still can't find anything. Maybe its not a re-branded miller after all?

Webb Tennis Feasts on CIA!
By HVMAC Tennis Coach Patrick Doherty
The 2011 Webb Tennis Team started with the long journey north to visit the Kings of Cuisine at the Culinary Institute of America to play their first match of the season. Avenging last year's 8-1 spanking at the hands of these mighty Chef Boyardees, Webb pulled off the 5-4 upset for their first win of the year.
Dale "Jet Li" Pederson, "Player of the Match", won both his #2 singles match and his #3 doubles match with partner Colin Spillane for 2 of Webb's 5 points. He also flawlessly executed his famous "Samurai Serve" after his match to the amazement of the 22,000 people in the CIA stands. Dan "Van Damme" Dwyer captured the "Rookie of the Match" honors with his 2 victories at the #3 singles and the #2 doubles - an outstanding debut!
With both teams tied at 4 points, the last match of the day at #2 doubles would decide the final outcome. Dan Dwyer and his partner Jon Soja battled to an 8-8 tie, then pulled off the 7-5 tiebreaker win to take the final point of the day and earn the victory against a perennial top HVMAC team.
Webb's next match is at the U.S. Tennis Center on Wednesday against our friends at St. Joseph's.
Congrats to everyone on the victory, but more importantly, for all of the hard work you have all been doing at practice. Captain Michael Cheng is proud!

4 cups
fresh broccoli florets
1/4 cup
red onion, finely diced
3 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
dry roasted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup
plain yogurt
2 tablespoons
orange juice
1 tablespoon
fat-free mayonnaise
This is a great salad, but you need to make ahead of time to let the flavors meld together. The next couple of days it gets better tasting. I added a few dashes of distilled vinegar which i think helped. My husband actually liked it and i didn't think he would:)
So so...I agree it needs some extra zing. Played around with adding more juice. Finally tossed in a can of manderin oranges. Still the dressing wasn't quite right.

This is a good, healthy salad.I added dryed cranberries and more o.j.I think you could omit mayo and just use yogurt if you want to.Fatheroflittle really liked it.It was good the next day too.We will have this again!
I added dried cranberries and pine nuts to use up pantry foods. I also used both golden and regular raisins (had them both on hand) and they looked great. I ended up doubling the liquid ingredients as it seemed a bit dry. The recipe remained healthy with the use of low fat yogurt and mayo. Big hit when served with fried chicken wings and beer while watching the game(a good way to sneak in veggies for the men).
I really liked this recipe but did a little tweaking for my taste. I used 2 cups of broccoli and a package of coleslaw mix that you find in the produce section and then doubled the rest of the ingredients. I love it and it's great the next day.
I cooked the broccoli and then put the sauce over it like a dressing! Turned out amazing!
Love, love, love it!
My favourite salad recipe now.
This was definitely healthy but I would double the wet ingredients next time since the broccoli really soaked it up! I brought this camping and it held up well.

I have used a few different methods to notch tube over the years. Some that work great and are worth the time to set up others not so much. Today I needed to notch a 40mm diametre tube to fit to a 100mm diametre tube at 90 degrees. I noticed this free download program that has been around a while and thought I would give it a go "Tubemitre". I punched in the data and printed out the result. Used sticky tape to fix the paper template to the tube and with the aid of an air hacksaw cut away the excess in a few minutes. The result without any sanding is just about good enough to start welding.
Pretty cool.

Works in a pinch but if you do any real work you need to have a means of just setting a degree and go. Pretty cool using the math though. I did my first fish mouths with a similar program close to ten years ago, thought it was the bees knees till I used a hole saw based jig, then even better a nibbler style, and now I use the mill. Just gets more accurate and faster.
How much did a bit cost that would notch a 100mm or 4" bite out of a 40mm tube?
How long does it take from start to finish?
The tubemitre system with a air hacksaw took about 6 minutes total.
At a cost of $150 because the hacksaw was a Snap On Bluepoint.
The room taken up in my workshop is very little.
As I said this is petty good for what is required to get a really good fit up.
JiGrip it and Rip it
I only have to notch a few pipes every once in a while. I paid $300 for a P & N hole saw set to use for the job on my drill press. Problem with this is that the hole saws don't match tube diameters which means to get a good fit up you have to file or sand. Also the largest hole saw in the set is 75mm or 3" diameter which means more work after the cut is made to make a good fit up for this project. I could use a linisher with tube diameter spindles and a cross slide table to feed the tube into the grinding belt but they cost $2500 and take up half a car space in the workshop. I could pay $25000 and get a CNC mill or $250 000 and get a CNC laser which would take up the size of a car in the workshop. These certainly would speed up the notching but for the few times a year I have to do this the best bang for my buck is this program and an air saw. It will do any diameter tube at any angle with the least waste, takes up no space in my workshop and costs nothing. If you are doing tube work all the time yep this is way to slow, I agree. But then you would have one of those alternatives and a operator that just notches tube, or have the work outsourced by a laser cutting company.Grip it and Rip it

At the ASPCA Animal Hospital, our veterinarians provide world-class care to each one of our patients. But there is another group of clinical staff members whose day-to-day work is crucial to the well-being of each pet being treated—veterinary technicians, commonly known as "vet techs." Although each patient that comes to the ASPCA Animal hospital is special and unique, it is also true that our vet techs repeatedly see the same— sometimes preventable—medical conditions. Since ASPCA vet techs are the front line of our clinical team, we asked a group of them, "What would you like pet parents to know and do to keep their pets in tip-top shape?"
Here's some pet care advice from ASPCA vet techs:
Geniene: When a cat is having trouble urinating, it is a medical emergency. Urinary obstructions can be fatal. If you see your cat going in and out of the litter box, posturing or only producing a small amount of urine—possibly while crying—bring your cat to the vet right away! Feeding your cat a diet that consists primarily of wet food will reduce the risk of urinary obstructions.
Mary: Spaying your pet is not just about preventing unwanted litters. Animals that have not been spayed are at risk of developing pyometra, an infected uterus. Pyometra is potentially life-threatening, but the risk of developing pyometra is zero when an animal has been spayed. Additionally, the cost of treating a pyometra is many times the cost of spaying an animal. There are many benefits to spaying or neutering your pet.
Temetrias: Cat's don't normally cough— if your cat is coughing, you should take her to the vet. A coughing cat may have developed asthma or fluid on its lungs and needs medical attention. A common misconception is that cats cough up hairballs, but when a cat "coughs" up a hairball it is actually vomiting.
Erica: Many people believe that cats are agile, and therefore won't fall out of windows. Cats can lose their balance, get spooked or react to birds with a strong prey drive. Cats don't always land on their feet, and a serious fall can be devastating. Cat owners should always have screens on their windows.
Rena: All dogs should be vaccinated against parvovirus. The virus is common, life-threatening and expensive to treat. Puppies and young dogs are at particularly high risk. Have your dog vaccinated, and don't let puppies' paws touch the ground outside their homes until they have completed their parvo vaccine series. Dogs can contract parvo from walking in the grass, then licking their paws; from nose-to-nose or nose-to-rear contact; or from smelling feces or drinking out of puddles.
Manny: It's very important that pet parents walk their dogs on a leash. The majority of cases where dogs are brought to our hospital after having been hit by cars results from dogs being allowed to walk off leash. Having your dog on a leash also helps protect it from aggressive animals. Dogs off leash cannot be kept safe in the way that leashed dogs can.

Softball Falls in First Games of Gamecock Invitational
Monday, February 18, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Feb. 16, 2002) - The East Tennessee State Buccaneer softball team fell in their first two games of the University of South Carolina Gamecock Invitational, falling to Jacksonville State, 2-0, and to Tennessee Tech, 5-0, Saturday from Columbia, S.C. In Saturday's first game, a pitching duel developed between ETSU's (0-2) Marsha Giles (Jonesborough, Tenn.) and Jacksonville State's (1-0) Tara Ross. Both pitchers pitched complete games with Ross giving up four hits and Giles surrendering five. But Jacksonville State was able to solve Giles for two runs while ETSU was shutout by Ross. ETSU's four hits came from first baseman Melanie Collins (Greeneville, Tenn.), designated player Julia Chance (Knoxville, Tenn.), center fielder Danielle Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.) and shortstop Mary Beth Hazelwood (Knoxville, Tenn.). In Saturday's second game, the Bucs got another complete game, this time from Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.), but were again shut out, 5-0, by Tennessee Tech (1-0). Tennessee Tech's Lori Bayless pitched 6.2 flawless innings before giving up her only hit of the day to Hazelwood with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. Vandergriff gave up nine hits in her seven innings of work, allowing four earned runs and struck out four. East Tennessee State returns to play Sunday afternoon against Alabama-Birmingham at 1 p.m. and host South Carolina at 5 p.m.

Wednesday, March 17, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 17, 2004) - Down 1-0, Ball State rallied for four runs in the top of the third and never looked back, defeating East Tennessee State, 6-2, Wednesday night from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. With the win, the Cardinals (6-7) split the two-game non-conference series with the Buccaneers (11-11). East Tennessee State took the early advantage, as sophomore left fielder Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) belted his second homer of the season with a deep blast over the right field wall. The Bucs led 1-0 until the Cardinals took the lead for good in the third. Shortstop Jason Bucholtz doubled to lead off the inning then centerfielder Mike Sullivan reached on an error. The two runners moved up a base on a fly out by catcher Matt Singleton. Second baseman Kyle Dygert came to the plate and cleared the bases with a double to right center. With two down, first baseman Brad Miller connected for his fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot over the left field wall. Ball State added a run to their lead in the top of the fourth. Right fielder Kiel Holman led off the frame with a walk, and scored as Bucholtz singled and advanced to second on an error. East Tennessee State scored their final run in the bottom of the sixth. Sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.) laced a double to left then moved to third on a ground out by senior center fielder Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.). Roberts crossed the plate on a two-out RBI single by sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.). The Cardinals capped this evening's scoring with their final run in the top of the eighth. Holman led off the inning with a double to left, and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Bucholtz. Sullivan drove in Holman with a triple deep off the center field wall. Ryan DeGeeter (1-0) earned his first collegiate win for Ball State, going six innings and allowing two runs on five hits. He also struck out five while walking none. Freshman righty David Yates (Douglasville, Ga.) was charged with the loss (1-1) after going the first three innings and allowing five runs (one earned) on six hits. "Their pitchers did a great job of keeping us off balance tonight," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole following the game. "They did not let us put anything together." Roberts led the Bucs with two hits while five players had one base hit. Singleton, Bucholtz and left fielder Kenny Bargfeldt paced Ball State at the plate with two hits each. Dygert and Miller led the Cardinals with two RBIs while Holman scored twice. "They just flat out beat us tonight," said Skole. "They are a quality ball club with some great athletes." East Tennessee State returns to action Friday night in the opener of a three-game Southern Conference series as the Bucs host UNC Greensboro from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. Friday's first pitch is set for 7 p.m.

Amidst reports that the Nurburgring will no longer host F1, the mayor of Hockenheim has said his city is not in talks to hold the race in 2013¿
Amidst reports that the Nurburgring will no longer host F1, Hockenheim mayor Dieter Gummer has said his city is not in talks to hold the race in 2013.
The German Grand Prix alternates between the Nurburgring and Hockenheim, with the former scheduled to hold the race in the middle of July next year.
However, the Nurburgring is in the midst of an insolvency process and a spokesman has been quoted as telling the DPA news agency that there will be "no more Formula One" at the track.
Hockenheim has previously stated that they are unable to cope with the financial burden of hosting the race every year and mayor Gummer has revealed that despite the cloud hanging over the Nurburgring, negotiations are not on the go to switch the race to Hockenheim.
"It is the case that we are, of course, in constant contact but it has never led to negotiations on a Formula One event in Hockenheim in 2013," Gummer told DPA.
"Before a grand prix in Germany goes we would in any case be prepared to talk, but priority has in any case Nuerburgring," he added.

1/4 teaspoon
dried thyme

1/8 teaspoon

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
I use this all the time and when I make it, I change the serving size to 30 and fill an old spice jar so I have it on hand instead of making it everytime (it wont go bad). Not sure why the directions tell you to grill then put in the oven, save the time (and the cleaning of a pan) and keep it in the pan. Take the chicken out of the fridge 20-30 min before cooking (this brings the chicken closer to room temp, chicken will cook faster). Heat the pan on high for maybe 5 minutes (don't put anything in the pan until you are ready to use it). I then use spray butter directly on the chicken (to avoid extra smoke) and put it in the pan spray side down. Let it cook on medium high heat for 5-7 minutes (you will see the sides of the breast turn white). Spray the uncooked side with spray butter and flip it over. Cook another 5-7 minutes. Take it out of the pan and let it sit for atleast 10 minutes. in short... 3 tips for tender chicken, 1 - take out of the fridge for a few before you cook it. 2 - heat pan to help cook chicken faster, allowing it to sear and seal in juices. 3- let chicken sit 10 minutes after it is out of the pan for the juices to flow throughout the chicken. If you cut it too early only the first bite will be juicy the rest will be dry
A quck and easy recipe that enhances the flavor of chicken significantly.

This recipe was tasty, quick & easy.
I made this exactly as the recipes is written and my very picky husband LOVED the chicken from my first attempt. He's asked me to make it every week for the past month. While he loved it from the start, I thought the flavor was a bit off, I have since perfected it to our tastes: I double all spices except halve the thyme. I also put all the spices in a plastic baggy, cut the chicken into strips, and shake them in the bag, then follow the recipe as written. I serve over pasta alfredo.
Not exactly my "type" of blackened chicken, though, most will probably find it delicious. I used real onion (not powdered) and a bit of garlic as well. Was good, but just not what I was looking for. I prefer a spicier and crispier blackened chicken and this one was not spicy enough for my tastes and was a bit too moist (sheesh is that possible?). If you like 'em hot and cripsy, seek a different recipe, if you like 'em moist with a mild tang, you'll like this. :)
My husband's first word after eating this chicken was "yummy." I followed the recipe to a T, except that I only allowed the oil to heat up for about 5-7 minutes. It did create a lot of smoke, so turn on the fan ahead of time. I also had to cook it in the oven for more than 5-10 minutes - it was probably closer to 20-25. I don't know why people were saying that this chicken was bland - it was one of the most flavorful recipes I've tried in a long time. I suspect that it's important to use a cast iron skillet, as it sears the spices into the skin of the chicken. That might be the difference. It was actually quite spicy, and I love and can tolerate quite a bit of spice. I wouldn't change a thing, except that next time I might cook it in the cast iron skillet completely, as I wish it had a hard crust of the spices.
This chicken was the best. My family loved it. I cooked the chicken on the grill until done. (I didn't use the frying pan at all.) I also made up a little extra spice mixture and sprinkled it over the hot coals while the chicken was cooking. (Garlic added to the coals gives food a nice light smoked garlic flavor as well)
This is a good basic blackening rub, and putting the chicken in the oven kept it so moist and yummy. I've made it twice: 1st time I followed the ingredients exactly & my husband thought it was a little bland. 2nd time, I added 1/2 tsp. rubbed sage & 1/2 tsp garlic powder which definitely added some zip and more flavor. I also coated both sides the second time around. My husband and I dipped the chicken in Blue Cheese dressing which went great with the spices. This is now one of my husband's favorites!
