Today, on this the second day of February, I have a very special treat for you! It's Dia de la Candelaria (Candlemas). In the Catholic faith, it's a Feast Day to celebrate the day that Mary presented Jesus in the temple. It's also the day the person that found El Niño Dios (Baby Jesus) in La Rosca de Reyes to make the tamales. And that's exactly what Girlichef and I are making this month for She Made / Ella Hace.
I can't think of a better tamal recipe to share with you than my grandmother's delicious shredded pork tamales. Tender pieces of shredded pork in a spicy chile colorado sauce tucked inside a soft and billowy corn masa (dough). And hidden inside each tamal, was Gramm's secret
(Shredded Pork Chile Colorado Tamales)
Meat Filling:
- 2 pounds pierna de cerdo (you can use pork rump or shoulder roast)
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 dried ancho chilies
- 2 dried guajillo chilies
- 1 cup pork or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Masa (Tamale Dough):
- 4 cups masa harina (I use regular Maseca)
- 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup manteca (lard) or shortening
- 3 cups pork or chicken broth
Additional Ingredients:
- 24 large dried corn husks
- 1 to 2 cans whole black olives, pitted
Preparing the Meat Filling:
Making tamales can be a little time consuming. So to make it an easier and more pleasant experience, I like to prepare the meat filling a day or two in advance.
Cut the pork meat into about 4 large pieces, so that the meat cooks evenly. Place the pork meat in a 4-quart pot with the medium onion and two garlic cloves; season with salt and pepper. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the pork meat, about 6 to 8 cups. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer until the meat is completely cooked and very tender.
|I used 3 small onions, because that's what I had on hand.
While the meat is cooking, cook the dried ancho and guajillo chilies in 2 cups of water. Let cool slightly, then remove the stems and seeds. Puree the chilies, 1 clove of garlic, the chili powder, and ground cumin with 1 cup of the water the chilies were cooked in and 1 cup of pork broth until smooth. Pour the chile puree over the shredded pork and mix until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preparing the Hojas (corn husks):
In a large bowl, cover the corn husks with boiling water. Cover and let set for about an hour or until the corn husks are soft and pliable.
Rinse the corn husks with cold water to remove any dirt and residue. Pat the corn husks with a kitchen towel until completely dry. (Masa doesn't stick to wet corn husks.)
Making the Masa:
In a medium bowl, combine the masa harina, baking powder and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the lard with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. (Light and fluffy manteca makes for light and fluffy tamales.)
With your electric mixer still on medium-high, beat in the masa harina, one cup at a time until no dry bits of masa harina are visible. (Mixture will be grainy.) Reduce the electric mixer speed to low and stir in 3 cups of very warm pork broth until it has all been absorbed. Using your hands, press the mixture together to form a dough.
Now let's make some tamales!
Spoon about 1/4 cup of masa (dough) onto each corn husk. You could spread the masa with a spoon, but I think it's much easier to flatten it with your fingertips. A good rule of thumb is to flatten the masa to about a 1/4-inch thickness across two-thirds of the corn husk, leaving a 1/4-inch space on one side and the top, and about a 3-inch space at the bottom.
Spoon a couple tablespoons of the meat filling down the center of the masa and top with 2 to 3 black olives. (This is when Gramm would say, "Don't be stingy with the filling, no las estasmos haciendo para vender!") (Translation: We're not making them to sell!)
Starting at the 1/4-inch edge, gently fold your tamal in thirds, then tuck in the ends. (This is the easiest way to wrap tamales. The process will get easier with each tamal you make. Practice makes perfect!) Place the tamales seam-side down on a large plate, until you've finished with all of the tamales.
Fill the bottom of an 8 to 10-quart tamale steamer (or larger if you are doubling the recipe) just to the bottom of the ridge where the steamer insert rests. Place the insert inside the tamale steamer and arrange the tamales loosely so the steam can circulate. Cover and cook over high heat for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 45 minute to an hour. (If you don't own a tamale steamer, don't worry. My grandmother cooked her tamales in a large roasting pan on the stove with enough water that covered the tamales about 1/3 of the way.)
For a complete meal, serve with Mexican Rice , Refried Beans, and a delicious Atole. (And remember to remove the corn husks from the tamales before eating them.) Enjoy!!! (Yields 18 to 24 tamales)
Now head on over to Girlichef's to check out her recipe for sweet Tamales de Fresa!

text: Philosophy overview faculty program organizations after graduation Can I get a job? Philosophy is one of the most versatile majors when it comes to possible career choices. Majoring in philosophy indicates to future employers or graduate schools that the student can grapple with complex and difficult ideas, can write cogently, and most importantly can think clearly and creatively. Thus majoring in philosophy makes available a variety of future possibilities, including Professional studies (in Law, Medicine, the ministry); Other career opportunities (in civil rights, ecology, business, etc.); Graduate study in philosophy or related disciplines (e.g., religious studies, women's studies, critical theory, literary or film theory, etc.). A survey for the New York Times in 1997 of philosophy graduates from 20 years earlier reported on their success and the importance of their philosophy degrees. The Times article (see the link here) said: "Philosophy majors in the class of 1977 have spent the last two decades building striking resumes - just not in philosophy." "Their professional success may stem from the fact that philosophy students seem more likely than those with other degrees to attend graduate or professional school." Dr. Joseph P. Brunner, a physician who graduated from Nebraska in philosophy, said that "of all the gifts that his philosophy degree has given him . . . creativity is probably the most important. Those who majored in science, then headed straight for medical school and years of practice can have a narrow outlook, he said. 'They don't have enough raw data outside their scientific training to provide those insights, those flashes of creativity', he said." Ralph Gilbert 3d, who returned to his family's farm after graduation before becoming a lawyer, "credits philosophy with helping him neither in farming nor law; it has only improved his life. 'I think it influences the way I go about doing things', Mr. Gilbert said. 'I think it's given me a sense of the complications that we face as human beings. It gives me a sense of the beauty and wonder of life. It helps me understand people in dire circumstances." And as a New York Times "The Choice" blog post points out: your college major doesn't determine your future economic success.

Rainforest Adventures Helps Meeting and Incentive Travellers Fight Nature Deficit Disorder
April 12, 2012, Miami, FL – With Rainforest Adventures (a collection of sustainable eco-adventure parks located in some of the most sought-after conference, meetings and incentive destinations in the world), meeting planners can give delegates and business teams "nature time" in some of the richest and most diverse rainforests on the planet.
"Each of our parks work with meeting and incentive planners to create rainforest and nature themed parties and tours that tie into their corporate goals," said Annika Bratt, vice president of sales for Rainforest Adventures. "Our team also works out the best timing so each group has either full access to the parks or private tours. Planners only have to visit www.rainforestadventure.com or call 1-866-759-8726, and we'll put them directly in touch with the park of their choice to customize a visit."
Nature Deficit Disorder, a term coined for the growing epidemic of people (particularly children) who experience a decreased interaction with nature, has been credited to Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods (2005). This alarming lack of outdoor enjoyment is said to be due to our growing reliance on technology. Over the past few decades, research has cited numerous restorative benefits to spending time in nature – a simple walk in the woods and smelling the jungle can alleviate fatigue and stress. Add in team-building activities, such as ziplining at night, a flora and fauna scavenger hunt or an hour spent in a butterfly garden, and a day out of the office has even more inspirational and health value.
"And because Rainforest Adventures has also been recognized as a socially-responsible business, we are happy to give groups behind-the-scenes tours of our sustainability initiatives. Many businesses appreciate this offer as a way to help inspire new thinking around sustainability within their own companies," said Bratt.
Operating under strict conservation guidelines, Rainforest Adventures launched in 1994 when the first park (Costa Rica Atlantic) constructed the world's first rainforest aerial tram – without removing a single tree in the process. Today, Rainforest Adventures has expanded its parks (locations include Costa Rica Pacific, Costa Rica Atlantic, St Lucia, Dominica and Jamaica) and tours (Panama), each destination offering groups and conference planners thrilling, eye-opening and educational rainforest activities. Adventures range from bobsledding through a Jamaican rainforest and aerial tram rides to the top of mountains to bird-watching tours and naturalist-led nature walks. Some locations even expand beyond the rainforest to include historical walking tours and visits to an authentic Embera Indian Village (Panama).
Each park, attractions and tour is unique, built around the natural history and culture of each country. All excursions are carbon neutral and the company has been certified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Association of Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) for safety.

What's to Become of Common Article 3? [UPDATED]
Marty Lederman
In his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning, Acting Assistant Attorney General Steven Bradbury has testified to what previous reports had suggested -- namely, that the Administration will propose a statute specifying that the standards of the McCain Amendment should suffice to define the limits of interrogation techniques for U.S. officials. (Attorney General Gonzales's testimony this afternoon before the Senate Armed Services Committee is to like effect.)
Perhaps Bush thinks that chosing the McCain Amendment over Article 3 will give credence to his signing statement where he declares his powers as Commander in Chief grant him the right to interprete law any way he wants.
"The executive branch shall construe Title X in Division A of the Act, relating to detainees, in a manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President to supervise the unitary executive branch and as Commander in Chief and consistent with the constitutional limitations on the judicial power, which will assist in achieving the shared objective of ... protecting the American people from further terrorist attacks."
Bush could bypass new torture ban
Is there not an inherent problem with trying to compose a finite list of specific interrogation techniques that are outlawed?
I would think that the creativity of interrogators could always invent new forms of torture or cruel treatment not anticipated by legislative drafters. Torturers since Torquemada have been gaming their systems that way, haven't they?
Some excellent points Marty. Here's a few thoughts I had...
(1) What about the fact that the JAGs admitted to Sen. Graham in an earlier J-committee hearing that we'd already violated CA3?
Obviously, the didn't think any clarification of CA3 was needed to arrive at that conclusion.
(2) What about the President's 2002.02.07 "order" stating:
"I hereby reaffirm the order previously issued by the secretary of defense to the United States Armed Forces requiring that the detainees be treated humanely and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with military necessity, in a manner consistent with the principles of Geneva."
George Bush, Humane Treatment of Taliban and al Qaeda Detainees (memo), The White House (2002.02.07).
That raises two serious issues:
a) CA3 is the bare minimum, yet obviously this order presumes that there is some discrete non-vague set of Geneva principles such that military personnel can be ordered to observe them.
b) What is the administration's non-vague definition of "military necessity"? The term happens to have a rather exact meaning, and in fact military necessity simply does not apply to defenseless prisoners.
(3) It should be noted that the applicability of CA3 vs. full Geneva III POWs or Geneva IV Civilians protections is by no means settled: what the court ruled was that CA3 was the *minimum* that would apply, and that minimum was sufficient to make the military commissions illegal without addressing the larger question.
In fact, that district court opinion in found that Hamdan was entitled to POW status absent an art. 5 hearing. The government has since argued that:
a - The CSRT's constitute art. 5 hearings.
b - The detainees are NOT entitled to POW status.
c - The detainees are "enemy combatants" that may be detained indefinitely.
But assuming a & b arguendo, c is patently false:
* POW status under Geneva III is the only lawful authority for indefinite detention without trial.
* Anyone who is properly subject to an art. 5 hearing under Geneva III is automatically protected by Geneva IV as a civilian in the event they are not protected as a POW.
* Anyone who isn't a "lawful combatant" is just a common criminal, and everyone is entitled to due process of law.
The real problem there is that they want to impose criminal sanctions without a fair trial on the basis of suspicions, coerced confessions, and guilt by association - that is what the administration and their apologists are arguing for, and anyone who claims that has anything to do with fighting wars or making us safe is either a liar or an idiot.
(4) I couldn't help noticing a number of remarks made en passant to the effect "now that CA3 is the law..."
WRONG: CA3 and 18 USC 2441 were the law *before* Hamdan.
Am I to understand that criminal statutes are only law AFTER they have survived every last frivolous appeal in a civil case??
What this all makes plain is that the administration has been committing war crimes by policy since 2001. There was and is no need for the McCain amendment, the DTA, or any new laws here at all -- what is needed are indictments to enforce the laws that we already have.
It isn't the Geneva Conventions that are at fault here, it is an administration of CRIMINALS...
And it is long past time for the Congress to quit making lame excuses for them, or aiding and abetting their crimes.
So it seems to me anyway.
All that is available so far, excusively are the formal opening statements of committee members and principal witnesses in the hearing before the US Senate Judiciary Committee, not transcripts of proceedings, in this matter, this week. From excerpts of verbal interchanges cited above and in other media, it is clear that last Friday's draft with which we were privileged to work here, has been augmented, and, indeed, remains difficult for the committee to finalize because of conflicts even among members of the president's own party, as well as there being continued objections by the senior military judge experts testifying.
In a parallel forum, August 1 the government filed what is essentially a six-page brief in DCC regarding the Boumediene subset of cases, sounding increasingly like the unitary theory is to blue pencil Geneva conventions reaching back fifty years, and straining to declare that the US Supreme Court in the June 2006 Hamdan decision was cautious to avoid declaring detainees had standing or rights.

I think it is critical to remember that this article is first and foremost about operatioanal activities, and that the criminal liability aspect is secondary (although certainly an important component in the compliance continuum). Now that CA3 is being looked to more for the latter
purpose, people are troubled by this "vagueness" and the broad test.
This idea has always been at the heart of US military interpretation of the obligation. As a young intelligence officer, I received only a cursory overview of interrogation tactics and rules (this was 1984). But, I vividly remember the basic "treatment" guideline: If an enemy were about
to do to YOUR subordinate what you are about to do to the prisoner, would you consider it wrong? If so, it probably violates the law. I remember this vividly because it formed the foundation of training conducted for my unit in Panama during the build up for Operation Just Cause.
Although this standard was not at that time characterized in terms of CA 3, when I became a Judge Advocate I realized that the tactics, techniques, and procedures we had been taught at the intel school were totally consistent with the approach reflected in the substance of CA 3 - if you project your subordinates (who military leaders have an intense "protect" instinct over) into the situation, you should end up treating the prisoner as a
human being - which is the essence of humane treatment.
Flexibility is important, a fact acknowledged by the Commentary to CA 3. In fact, this is exactly why no precise definition of what is "humane treatment" was offered by the drafters. They understood that any such categorical definition would invite "interpreting out" of the obligation. Nonetheless, the goal of "humanizing" captured opponents motivated the inclusing of the express prohibitions listed in the article, which were regarded as universally accepted to fall within the meaning of humane treatment.
Accordingly, Congress would do well to recall that the express prohibition against degrading and humiliating treatment of individuals who are "hors de combat" was no accident. The people who drafted this seminal law of war article knew full well that the path to brutalization of captives often begins with much more benign steps. Thus, the objective is clear - once captors start THINKING of their detainees as "less than human", the danger of ending up in a much more troubling place is exponentially increased. Accordingly, the Prohibition against degrading and humiliating treatment is in fact a bulwark that was regarded as essential to prevent heading down this slippery slope.
We have already seen the consequences of such inconsistent messages on the treatment of detainees. Now we have DOD emphasizing the applicability of
CA3 to the force, with Congress contemplating essentially modifying the meaning of that article for purpose of criminal liability under the WCA. Seems inconsistent to me - so how will it ultimately impact the "field."
The big question remains "why is this necessary?" CA3 was intended to be flexible, but as noted above also intended to apply a simple rule to prevent the slide into brutality - "do unto others as you would have done to YOUR subordinates." Seems to me we would be better off leaving this alone and worrying about "prosecutorial abuse" of this article only in the unlikely event that happens.
Bradbury and the rest's arguments are not so much about uniformed military and CIA interrogators. UCMJ as it stands places a uniformed military in a position where they can be court-martialed for actions that fall below Common Article 3.Post a Comment
The uniformed military affect is that a reduction in the War Crimes Act standard would mean that post-discharge military persons prosecuted under the War Crimes Act would face a lower standard then if they were still in uniform and subject to courtmartial.
This standard would protect high-level generals who would have ordered, acquiesced in such tactics and retired where the military was unwilling to call them back to active duty so that they would be subject to court-martial (though I guess if they are on a pension they still run that risk).
The CIA and the civilian authority in the DOD and other places are the real ones being protected by the Bradbury lower threshold standard.
I wish that someone would point out clearly in the hearings with the civilian authorities the criminal liability over the 2002-2006 period of the high level civilians and military generals and that the effort to reduce the standard is just an effort to CYA for what was done in accordance with previous orders.
Also, I wonder when someone would raise the issue of revisiting some of the court-martials which occurred prior to HAmdan in light of the Hamdan decision to see to what extent the "higher orders" defenses should be reviewed.

This story was corrected on Sept. 5, 2013. An explanation follows the story.
Starting tonight, the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center will present a two-day symposium, "Civil War to Civil Rights: The Well-being of a Nation." The program, a partnership with the university's school of public health and public policy, is the launch of a larger endeavor, the National Civil War Project and Center, a multi-city, multi-year collaboration between four universities and five performing arts organizations commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
The Civil War to Civil Rights symposium specifically observes the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, and examines the state of our nation today. The program features a long list of keynote speakers, including activists Julian Bond and Marian Wright Edelman, and a series of discussions and performances. Below are some of the highlights of the two-day event.
Senior government and politics major Andrew Mulinge will join three other University of Maryland student activists on Friday afternoon for a discussion entitled "And the March Continues." The conversation, facilitated by Truman scholar and fellow University of Maryland student Mohammad Zia, focuses on the new era of civil rights activism.
"There are so many issues that are going on today in society ... it may not be being called an inflammatory name to your face or being in a situation where you couldn't drink out of a certain fountain, but there's definitely a lot of problems that exist in the African American community and here in America," Mulinge said. " ... We live in a bubble being at a state university and doing our thing in college we forget that there are still a lot of people in our community that are still victims to the institutionalized systems that oppress us."
Mulinge, a Montgomery County native and graduate of Clarksburg High School, is the co-president of Community Roots, a student activist group dedicated to promoting social change.
"What Maryland prides itself on is its diversity," Mulinge said. "So we take that to our advantage and we use our different cultures, backgrounds and beliefs in order to promote social change and social action ..."
"And the March Continues" will examine the younger generation's dealings with issues of race and how the Civil Rights era has affected them.
"The Civil Rights era has had a huge impact on me personally and academically," Mulinge said. "My supporting sequence is in African American studies. And I say that because I didn't major in it, but after taking an African American Studies course, I learned so much that it actually supplemented a lot of what I learned in my government classes. And through that, I took profound interest in discovering how impactful the Civil Rights Movement was."
Mulinge had an opportunity to explore that interest even further this summer through The Institute for Responsible Citizenship, a group aimed at the career development of young black males. This summer, students with the institute had the opportunity to meet and speak with congressman and civil rights activist John Lewis.
"We were able to ask him as many questions as we wanted and how his experience with the Civil Rights era impacted him ..." Mulinge said. "That meeting with John Lewis changed my life."
Mulinge said he'll use the conversation with Lewis as a jumping-off point for Friday's panel discussion.
"I can use the Internet, I can use books and everything, but actually being able to hear from [Lewis] and ask about [Martin Luther] King ... being able to hear from someone who actually marched with him, who was very personal with him, that's very rare," Mulinge said. "I'll bring that experience and that torch that he handed down to us to this event."
The symposium culminates Friday evening when jazz bassist and composer Christian McBride kicks off the center's 2013-2014 season with a performance of his jazz chorale piece, "The Movement Revisited."
McBride will lead his Big Band and Washington, D.C.'s Heritage Signature Chorale in the five-movement piece, featuring narration from special guests saye Barnwell, Dion Graham, Scot Reese and activist and artist Harry Belafonte.
"I feel very, very fortunate to have known and have worked with Mr. Belafonte a number of times over the last 18 years," McBride said. "The fact that he agreed to do this, is just hard to fathom ... You talk about the movement revisited, he's one of the last people from the movement. He is the movement. So he brings some authenticity that I think will make a tremendous impact ..."
McBride wrote "The Movement Revisited" in 1998 after he was commissioned by the Portland Art Society to write a piece for Black History Month.
The original composition featured four movements or chapters based on four major players in the Civil Rights Era: Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali. McBride since has added a fifth movement to commemorate the election of President Barack Obama.
"It's not written for Barack Obama, the man," McBride said. "It's written for the events during the Civil Rights Movement that made it possible for a black man to be president of the United States."
The sound and rhythm of each movement or chapter is meant to reflect the nature of each influential figure. For example, McBride said he tried to capture the "quiet sophistication and soft-spokenness" of Rosa Parks.
"Malcolm X ... his words carry so much weight, I try to capture that in his movement," McBride said. "And Muhammad Ali ... he's brash, loud, exciting, but all of his brashness and loudness meant something. Underneath all of that volume was a very wise soul."
King's movement is actually divided into two parts: "Soldiers" and "A View from the Mountaintop."
"'Soldiers,' I guess it's a play on the March on Washington or all of the different marches he coordinated and led ..." McBride said. "The second part is 'A View from the Mountaintop" and I try to capture the feel of his final speech ..."
McBride said he is honored by the university's request to play "The Movement Revisited" as a part of the symposium.
"I don't get to perform that piece very often because it's pretty large with the Big Band and the choir and the narrator," McBride said. "When someone requests it, they automatically go on my "I love" list."
Correction: The original story stated the symposium began Friday instead of Thursday.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Michal Rozsival scored the winner in the fifth round of the shootout as the Chicago Blackhawks took a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators.
In the fifth round, Rozsival stickhandled his way to the net and lifted a backhander over Pekka Rinne. Corey Crawford then preserved the win by making a right pad save on Taylor Beck.
"It's the only move I have so I wanted to make it count," said Rozsival.
Brandon Saad and Patrick Kane scored for the Blackhawks, who have won three of four. Crawford stopped 25 shots in the win.
David Legwand and Beck scored for the Predators, who have dropped three straight. Rinne made 38 saves in the loss.
Down by two goals, Nashville made it a 2-1 game at the 3:56 mark of the third when the puck came in on Crawford and he was slow to cover it up as Legwand jammed it in.
"We got a little bit of a lucky goal...and that gave us momentum," Predators head coach Barry Trotz said.
The Predators then tied the game 3 1/2 minutes later as Patric Hornqvist sent a short pass from the right wing over to the left where Beck's shot trickled past Crawford.
Chicago struck late in the first period as Saad's shot from the right point found the back of the net with 11.3 seconds to play in the frame.
The Blackhawks made it a 2-0 game at the 12:10 mark of the second period on a 2-on-1 break that saw Kane skate in down the right wing and opt to shoot, burying the puck between the legs of Rinne for his 19th goal of the season.
Chicago hosts St. Louis on Thursday ... Nashville welcomes Colorado on Tuesday
... The Blackhawks have taken both matchups against the Predators, with the
other win a 3-0 decision in Nashville on Feb. 10 ... Nashville was 0-for-1 on
the power play while Chicago was 0-for-3 ... Before the game, Chicago acquired
forward Michal Handzus from the San Jose Sharks for a fourth-round selection
in the 2013 draft.

Q: I'm a 50-plus woman who used to love sex, but now I have no interest whatsoever. Is there any kind of medication I can take to increase my sexual desire?
—Susan, Florida
A: Unfortunately, not yet. At least one such drug is in development, but the Food and Drug Administration denied its approval earlier this year because it said the medication (an antidepressant) had no significant effect in increasing sexual desire. But stay tuned: I have a feeling we'll see some kind of pharmaceutical product like this in the not-so-distant future.
Meanwhile, some doctors prescribe testosterone to increase female libido, even though the FDA hasn't approved it for this use. But you might try asking your doctor what he or she thinks about that possibility.
Alternatively, some herbal, nonprescription products are on the market that might do the trick. A friend of mine took one such product that is sold at certain organic food markets and was greatly impressed. But who knows how much of this was based on the belief that the drug would work, rather than its actual medicinal properties?
I'd also advise you to think about possible causes for your low sex drive. Take a good look at your overall mood: Are you depressed or anxious? Are you experiencing any other physical symptoms? Do you take hormone replacement therapy, antidepressants or any other medicines that could affect your sex drive?
I suggest making an appointment with a specialist in sexual medicine to try to get to the root of your problem. Or if you think there's a chance there's an emotional component to all this, you should consider seeing a therapist. I know you'd like to get your mojo back — and I'm confident you'll find a way to do so.
Q: I'm a 75-year-old man who can't maintain an erection. I've tried all the popular erectile dysfunction pills — without any success. Is there any hope?
—Michael, New York
A: Yes, you've got a couple of choices. One option is to get a penile implant, an inflatable device that can be pumped up to give you an erection. This requires surgery, but men I know say that implants work extremely well, don't interfere with male orgasm and are rigid enough to be appreciated by partners. (These are often prescribed to guys who've had prostate surgery and who've lost the ability to have an erection.)
Another option is penile injections. This is a medicine that you literally inject into your penis; usually, it works its wonders in about 15 minutes or so. While the idea of giving yourself a shot like that may make you cringe, a lot of men report great success with these injections.
You're insurance plan may not cover either of these treatments, and you'll need to see a urologist for both the implant and the injections. But I'd urge you not to give up hope! Modern medicine has a lot to offer in the area of sexual functioning.
Q: My husband can no longer perform because of medical reasons, but I still have needs. I love him very much, but I've been without sex for two years now. Help!
—Dee, Texas
A: If you and your husband have a good relationship, he can do lots of things for you, even if he cannot have erections, has bad arthritis or some other disabling physical challenges. Unless he is totally immobilized, the two of you can touch and kiss. He can still satisfy you sexually — if both of you have the kind of communication and comfort with each other where you can tell him what you need, and he is pleased to provide it.
There is nothing inferior about intimacy through touch. Though it is different and perhaps less "connected" than having intercourse, it can certainly be enormously satisfying. Many men, even if they cannot enjoy sex themselves, are very proud and happy to help their partner be sexually fulfilled.

What are your favorite kitchen tools?
Please share a few of your must–have Tina's Tidbits?
• A foil tent only protects turkey breast meat from drying out if the shiny side is facing out, because that side reflects the heat AWAY from the bird. If the dull side was placed facing out to you, it would absorb the heat and overcook the meat making it dry.
• The best way to estimate the cooking time of fish, boneless chicken or steak on the grill is to plan on ten minutes per inch of thickness (NOT LENGTH!). Boneless breast that is not pounded thin is usually 1/2-3/4 inch thick. therefore it should take no more than 5-7 minutes TOTAL to grill your food.

The canalith repositioning procedure can treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which causes dizziness when you move your head. The procedure consists of head maneuvers that move particles in your inner ear — which cause dizziness — to a part of your ear where they won't.
Depending on your doctor's preferences, you may wear an infrared imaging device over your eyes during the canalith repositioning procedure. This helps your doctor examine your eyes during each maneuver, although it isn't necessary for successful treatment.
In the first step of the canalith repositioning procedure, your doctor or a trained professional helps you recline and turn your head to a 45-degree angle. The maneuvers shown here are for one type of BPPV, experienced on the left side in this person.

text: About Syracuse From downtown hot spots to hiking trails, art galleries to sporting events, you'll find there is no shortage of things to do in and around Syracuse. It's all here just waiting for you to discover in one of the greatest college towns in the northeast! The area offers a rich mix of year-round recreational opportunities. In Syracuse you may swim in the emerald waters of Green Lakes State Park, bike along the old Erie Canal, golf at one of our many courses, pick apples at Beak & Skiff Orchards, downhill ski at one of the many resorts within a half hour drive or snowshoe through the woodland trails of Highland Forest. And if spectator sports are more your speed, Le Moyne College boasts championship lacrosse, as well as baseball and soccer teams. Syracuse also offers other collegiate sporting opportunities and is home to a professional baseball team, the Chiefs, and hockey team, the Crunch. For those interested in the arts, Syracuse offers an opera company and regional theater, along with numerous other opportunities to attend performances of comedy, puppetry and improvisation. Syracuse is also home to multiple museums, including the I.M. Pei-designed Everson Museum of Art. The downtown business district of Syracuse – Armory Square – is also a must-see, featuring unique restaurants, pubs and boutiques. Additionally, Syracuse offers those with a sense of adventure a plethora of hidden gems in every part of the city – from the Irish Tipperary Hill to "Little Italy" on the north side to the bohemian village of Westcott Street, just a hop, skip and a jump from campus.

But according to Dr. David Sprinzak, a new faculty recruit of Tel Aviv University's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the George S. Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, cells know when to transmit signals — and they know when it's time to shut up and let other cells do the talking. In collaboration with a team of researchers at the California Institute of Technology, Dr. Sprinzak has discovered the mechanism that allows cells to switch from sender to receiver mode or vice versa, inhibiting their own signals while allowing them to receive information from other cells — controlling their development like a well-run business meeting.
Dr. Sprinzak's breakthrough can lead to the development of cancer drugs that specifically target these transactions as needed, further inhibiting or encouraging the flow of information between cells and potentially stopping the uncontrollable proliferation of cancer cells. Dr. Sprinzak's research appeared in the journal PLoS Computational Biology.

JVCC GLW-S Glow in the Dark Signaling Tape is used for general guiding and for marking signs. Use to mark anything critical to see like light switches, instruments, controls and emergency exits when the lights go out (or during disasters like fire, earthquake, power failure, etc.). The tape comes with a peel-off release liner. JVCC GLW-S photo luminescent "glow-in-the-dark" tape is bright (has high luminance) and is long-lived. Before using it, please exposure
it to most types of light for at least 5 to 30 minutes. Any type of light will charge the tape, but sunlight, halogen, xenon, & fluorescent lights work best. The tape can be recharged nearly an indefinite number of times. In its uncharged state the tape has a whitish/yellow color and when glowing the tape has a luminescent lime green color. Apply only to clean, dry, oil free surfaces. It is non-toxic, non-radioactive and has stable chemical properties.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

The best onions are grown from transplants set out in fall and over-wintered to mature in early summer. All of our transplants will grow in intermediate zones. If you are wondering what is the best onion to plant for your region, check out our video Growing Onions, Leeks and Shallots for more information.
Transplants should be planted in the fall where winter temperatures stay above 0˚. These are live onion plants fresh from the field. The box needs to be opened and planted immediately upon delivery. If you must wait, do not be alarmed if the roots and tops begin to dry out. As a member of the lily family, the onion can live for about 3 weeks off the bulb. All onion and leeks are organically grown.
Order your onion & leek transplants early. Select from Italian Red Torpedo, Early Red Burger, White Castle White, SweetPak Yellow, and Walla Walla Onions. And don't forget the leeks -- we're offering American Flag Leeks this year. Transplants sell out & ship mid-October-November, so order early. This fall you can also order onion sets which are available in red, white, and yellow.
Onion transplants are sold in 1 lb increments. Each pound will contain approximately 30 transplants. This number will vary based on when the transplants are harvested: the sooner they're harvested, the thinner they are (generally the thickness of a pencil), and the more you'll receive per pound! As fall goes on the transplants will get thicker and you'll receive slightly fewer onion transplants per pound. Pre-order today to get the most transplants per pound!
Shipping: The varieties and quantities you order may not all be available at the same time, so please plan to accept delivery as plants become available. If any items are on back order and you do not want to pay extra shipping, let us know and we will cancel the back order. Sorry, we cannot make exceptions.
Zone Shipping: Onions ship FedEx Ground West of the Rockies. Onions shipping East of the Rockies must ship FedEx 3 Day due to perishability.
Please Note: Onion transplants cannot ship with any other item.
Combine any onion transplant varieties
