The results appear online April 17 in the journal BMC Public Health.
"Cigarette smoking is a major contributor to many of the chronic diseases that we see in society today -- cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia and other forms of cognitive decline and low birth weight," said Dr. Ted Schettler, science director at the Science & Environmental Health Network in Ames, Iowa. "And adolescent smoking increases the risk of lifelong smoking."
According to the American Lung Association, about 90 percent of smokers started before age 21, and an estimated 4.5 million U.S. adolescents smoke.
"Up until now, it's been controversial about whether all the effort put into enforcing the law has been worthwhile or not," DiFranza said. "Some people had made halfhearted efforts to obey the law, and those have not worked at reducing either the number of stores that sell tobacco to kids or the number of kids that smoke."
The finding from DiFranza's study mirrors that from a study published this month on the effect of laws targeting the sale of alcohol to minors.
In that study, states that had enacted more punitive laws -- including use-and-lose laws that allow the suspension of a driver's license for any underage alcohol violation and zero-tolerance laws that make it illegal for young people to drive with any amount of alcohol in their system -- had fewer drinking-related fatalities among teens than did states that did not have such laws. The results were published in the April 7 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
"In the past, we've had success in reducing the number of teens who smoke by enforcing these laws in communities, but this is the first study

My favorite actors are Christopher Walken, Harrison Ford and Johnny Depp. Close seconds are Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, and Josh Hartnett (I LOVED Wicker Park).
Of course I have a life outside of imdb, but who cares about that :P

The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000)
I loved Gabriel's hair!
I just finished watching all three Prophecy movies in the last month or so and I'd have to say that they do correspond with each other pretty well. The first one could stand on its own of course, but it's well worth it to see the second and third to keep the angels vs. humans idea going.
Prophecy 3 did not disappoint me the way Prophecy 2 did. The storyline actually made sense, and it wasn't full of dull scenes that make you want to skip to the next scene with Chris Walken in it. This movie had a lot more action/violence than the first two put together. I thought the acting was pretty good, except for that one rather cheesy scene in the desert between Maggie and Zophael. Christopher Walken was amazing as usual although this time Gabriel was a little tamer and had less punchlines, and well, he wasn't exactly the big bad he was in the first two. Still, it was interesting to see how he had changed over the years while being stuck as a human, and of course most of his scenes were pretty hilarious.
I expected more angels this time, which there wasn't, and I thought the scene with Danyael vs. Pyriel at the end was a little short considering the huge build up to this point from Prophecy 2. All in all it was a good trilogy. There's something pretty damn cool about angels with long hair, black trench coats, and black nail polish! 7 out of 10.

Collated by others - iPads. Team Collections - iPads. Tablets and Apps advice center. - Leading Change in Changing Times: EdTechTeacher iPad Summit USA. This Is What Happens When You Deploy Android Tablets In A Classroom. We're constantly hearing chatter about deploying iPads in classrooms. For good reason, as iPads represent the vast majority of tablets in the market today. However, schools can't always afford these premium devices and instead opt for lower priced Android tablets. That's exactly what the Learning Untethered project did for a 5th grade classroom during the past academic year. They've just released a must-read report that details every aspect of how it went.
You are not doing an iPad project. You are not doing an iPad project.
You are using iPads in your classroom, but that by itself is not a project. If the project is more specific, then name it so. If you want to find the 10 best apps to use with for literacy in Year 7, with a particular focus on boys, then call it that. The iPad is something shiny which may or may not enable you to achieve your aims. Nothing about the iPad is remarkable in pedagogical terms, there is no magic learning dust. How the iPad Is Changing Education. The iPad may only be two years old, but it's already begun to change many things.
Reading is one of them. Work is another. It is selling like crazy, but it will be some time before most of the people you know own a tablet. The market for this type of device may only be in its infancy, but it's already becoming clear how it will revolutionize certain aspects our lives. Education is a huge one, as recent developments have demonstrated. In January, Apple made good on its late CEO's vision to enter the digital textbook market with the launch of iBooks 2 and the iBooks Author production tool for e-books.
Interesting EdTech Finds in iPadLandia by @GreenTeamGazett. 'Tis the season for us teacher-folk to start mentally gearing up and getting back down to business. Some of my Florida teacher friends even started back up this week. I still have a few more, but the wheels are turning, especially when it comes to Here are some interesting summer finds I've sent my colleagues. Learning In Burlington. Articles. Obviously not exhaustive, but here are a few 'creative' ideas for using Apple's brilliant free piece of software, iBook Author, rather than the traditional ways you might use it. 1 – An obvious use is to write your own iBook about your teaching practice, so that you can share your ideas with the wider education community.
The end result is very professional, and with time spent, the skills needed to use it are not too hard to learn. If you want to extend your book further too, there are lots of widgets you can add in such as the ones in iAd Producer and other third party widgets from other developers. 2 – It would be a really effective way of collecting and presenting the work of an action research group, so that you can publish your findings if appropriate. The flexibility of the software means that you can present all types of data, as well as embed videos and so on. iPad and Education – No Longer A Debate! The iPad – What it should and shouldn't be for Education. This blog originally started as a reflection journal as I begun a pilot program for using iPads at my school.
My early posts ( check January and February posts ) were discussions of the pros and cons of iPads. As the year has gone by and I have more time to research, read other iPad articles and experiment more with apps and with the students using them more frequently, I've had time to reflect on what iPads are offering schools. I'm not going to debate what model of iPad program to commit to – 1:1 or shared. The iPad as a Tool For Education - a case study.
In the first two terms of implementing an iPad programme, Longfield Academy in Kent have noticed a great impact on teaching and learning.
Research carried out on behalf of Naace and supported by 9ine consulting is published here. Home. Media Advisory: With just one iPad, teachers improve classroom lessons. While K-12 schools around the country search for funding to provide iPads to every student, an education researcher in North Carolina has found that even a single iPad can make a huge difference in the classroom.
The results of her experience with student teachers at Wake Forest University appear in the December/January issue of Learning & Leading With Technology, the magazine of the International Society for Technology in Education. "Because they're truly part of the digital generation, our pre-service teachers and the K-12 students they teach have a natural aptitude for tablet devices," said Kristin Redington Bennett, an Assistant Professor of Education at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Though iPads can cost more than $500 with 3G access and a budget for apps, Bennett said, "Don't discount the device because of its price. 10 Important Questions To Ask Before Using iPads in Class. Digital Tools Teaching Strategies Lenny Gonzales By Terry Heick When it comes to deciding how or whether to use iPads, schools typically focus on budget issues, apps, networking logistics, check-in and check-out procedures, school and district tech-use policies, hardware precautions, and aspects of classroom management.
But it's also important to think about instructional use, and to that end, consider the following questions. 1. The Single iPad Classroom « Elementary Ed Tech! Both of the schools I serve have "Single iPad Classrooms".
The teachers all have iPads, and, on one campus there is a mobile cart of 30 iPads that is shared on a check-out basis. Teachers have had their iPads for a while, so I thought it would be interesting to find out how they are getting these in the hands of students. I created a survey in Google Forms (what did we do before Google Forms???). Below I have summarized the responses. How One Classroom Actually Used iPads To Go Paperless (Part 1: Research) Last year, with a fearless group of 10th graders in Katrina Kennett's English class at Plymouth South High School , we attempted to transform the traditional research process to a completely paperless one using a fresh new cart of iPads.
As I have written previously about iPads in the classroom, our decision to use iPads did not start with iPads, it started with learning goals and objectives. We later determined that iPads would fit into the equation. The 4 Goals A few of the goals that we outlined prior to the research process included: The Paperless Classroom. New York, NY — Many tasks that used to require pen and paper are done in digital form these days.
To-do lists are entered in mobile phones, e-tickets replace paper slips, personal finances are sorted on laptops and tablets. One New York City teacher is on a quest to rid her classroom of paper – thousands of pieces per year – and she's doing it with new devices and the adoption of an education-based, social media platform. Rachel Fein, a ninth-grade social studies teacher at the High School for Arts, Imagination and Inquiry in Manhattan, convinced officials there to purchase nearly three dozen devices that enable students to get and complete assignments without touching a pencil or paper. She says it wasn't easy and took some convincing, but this week her students unboxed 34 Google Chromebooks. A combination of the Chromebooks and Edmodo, a social learning network for teachers and students, will replace older technology and thousands of printed pages per month, Fein said.
The school that gives every student an iPad. Fraser Speirs is talking about changes caused by his school's radical shift in technology deployment.
Every pupil at Cedars School of Excellence, in Greenock, Scotland, is now armed with an iPad, creating an environment a world away from the typical 'computer room', and providing the potential for seamless integration of technology and traditional teaching. The iPad project arose from day-to-day demands within the school. As Head of Computing, a dozen iMacs were fixed in Fraser's classroom, and a dozen MacBooks were available for booking; but with teachers increasingly wanting to provide pupils with web access, pressure and demand grew. "In January 2010, we started looking for answers," recalls Fraser. The school couldn't afford enough laptops to make a meaningful difference, but the iPod touch was considered, since internet access was a big factor.
Long Island University has deployed 16,000 iPads, with more on the way. Long Island University in New York has deployed at least 16,000 iPads to its students, with more on the way, according to George Baroudi, CIO, vice president of IT and chief business process improvement officer at the school. He said more than 3,000 will be arriving soon. About 275 IT managers attend to what is probably one of the largest deployments of tablets at a university in the world. "We have dealt with it and dealt with it successfully," Baroudi said. A little more than two years, the university had yet to buy a tablet.
But Baroudi started seeing students carrying iPads around campus—"it started looking like an impending tsunami," he said—and the idea clicked. Long Island University considered purchasing either Lenovo netbooks or iPads for the students. 1:1 iPads in Elementary Part 1 – An Unexpected Journey by @DanCallahan.

iPads are neat little devices that can pretty much do it all: play music, support interactive content, reshape how we think of textbooks, produce high-quality videos, and even take a step back and function as a good old-fashioned typewriter. The iPad does, however, have its share of flaws ranging from those hardware related (proprietary connections that work with Apple and only Apple products), to software (if you want an iPad, you must go through iTunes).

SIFF Interview: 5 Questions with Jason Schwartzman and Bob Byington for 7 Chinese Brothers
^ OMG! it's Jason! Schwartzman!!!
You guys! TIG got to be on the red carpet again Saturday night to interview Jason Schwartzman and Director Bob Byington for the Seattle International Film Festival premiere of 7 Chinese Brothers. I asked them both the same set of questions and got some very entertaining answers. If you missed this film at SIFF, don't worry! It's getting a wider release in August ... and after you read this interview, you'll know what kind of booze goes best with your theater soda.
TIG: What is Arrow's [Schwartzman's own dog, who stars in the movie alongside him] favorite thing to do besides sleep?
Bob Byington: {I asked Bob this question but prefaced it by saying he might not know else Arrow likes to do since he only saw him on set, and his response was:}Yeah, he likes to sleep.
Jason Schwartzman: Kiss you. {right here, imagine Liz & I both sighing and saying, "awwwwww!" in unison} Yeah. It's true; he kind of attacks the face. If you get low enough, and you give him the angle, he's gonna take it.
SIFF Take: Shaun the Sheep
The Shaun the Sheep spirit survives intact in Shaun the Sheep Movie. Aardman's signature wit and heart are in full flower, and all you need to know is conveyed through the action and the animal's expressive eyes. It's considerably more exciting than a standard episode, and the stakes are higher. Typical farm shenanigans accidentally land the farmer in the Big City with his memory erased, and Bitzer and the sheep have to try and rescue him while evading an insecure and monomaniacal Animal Control officer. That's a lot more intense than, say, a bunch of douche-y next-door pigs sabotaging a rube goldberg machine designed to get a kite out of a tree.
SIFF Double-Feature: Jason Schwartzman in Two Closing Weekend Films
Triple the adorableness!
I'm psyched that SIFF had not one, but TWO amazing "An Evening with" programs lined up this year with actors that I adore. An Evening with Jason Schwartzman happens TOMORROW {Saturday, June 6} and I'm sure it will be just as entertaining as Kevin Bacon's. I got my ticket long ago and the Evening is now on "standby," but I have to have to have to talk about it anyway because …. reasons. One of them being Schwartzman's adorable dog, Arrow, who co-stars with him in 7 Chinese Brothers, which screens during the Evening and again on Sunday (still tix available!).
Every Wes Anderson fan knows who Schwartzman is because he's in pretty much every single one of his films, particularly Rushmore, which inspired a million people to continually quote this Max Fischer zinger (I swear to god I heard someone say this the last time I was at Linda's):
Max: I like your nurse's uniform, guy.
Dr. Flynn: These are O.R. scrubs.
Max Fischer: O, R they?
SIFF Take: Cartel Land
A documentary about a Mexican vigilante group fighting drug cartels! And: a documentary about the Arizona Border Recon fighting drug cartels! And: a story about how hopeless it is to fight drug cartels!
It's really hard to take your eyes off Cartel Land—even when you might need to (re: graphic images of cartel victims). The most compelling subject is Autodefensas leader Dr. Jose Mireles (above)—and that's all I can say without giving anything away. This isn't a pleasant watch, but boy howdy it's informative … and terrifying.
{Cartel Land screens at SIFF 6/1, 6:30pm at SIFF Cinema Uptown, and again 6/2, 4pm at The Harvard Exit. Director Matthew Heineman is scheduled to attend both screenings}
SIFF Take: The Dark Horse
The Dark Horse is based on the true story of Genesis Potini, a bipolar Maori former chess champion. His older brother, the only one who can secure his release from the mental hospital, has had his own choices whittled away by extreme poverty until only compromise remains. The outside, then, offers Genesis liberty, but no haven. So he looks for purpose, something to help him focus his attention as he gingerly protects his fragile sanity, like an easily distracted hen corralling her chick. He seizes on a scheme to teach a group of cast-off kids to play chess. To bring them to a tournament in Aukland. To find an outlet for the bounty of knowledge and compassion that's been tangled in the chemistry of his brain. And to try to offer some sanctuary to his nephew (Boy's James Rolleston in a heartbreaking performance), who's set to inherit his father's all-but-optionless life.
After it screened on Saturday night at SIFF Cinema Uptown, the film and its star Cliff Curtis received a several-minute standing ovation from the crowd, and who knows how long we would have stayed standing had Curtis not finally shushed us. Every performance defies superlatives. It's an extraordinary, tremendous film.
{The Dark Horse screens at SIFF 6/3, 4:00 at The Harvard Exit}
Latest comment by: imaginary embracey: "
So sorry to've missed this. Fingers crossed for a proper release (or inclusion in the Best of SIFF program)!"
SIFF Take: Chatty Catties
After watching Chatty Catties with me, my cat, Frankie, insisted on writing this review. He says that I can't possibly understand the film's real meaning since I'm a human and not an oppressed feline like the star, Leonard. So, friends—here we go. It's an imaginary cat takeover!
Frankie's Review (as dictated to imaginary amie):
What a masterpiece! I've never seen a film so succinctly sum up the struggles of our kind before. Sure, there's been some talking cat movies, but nothing that even comes close to the truth of this. Watching the real desires and thoughts of cats realized on screen via amazing voice actors filled me with hope that our days of being misunderstood by humans might be coming to an end.
Chatty Catties is primarily the story of Leonard, a beautiful striped tabby who has THE WORST HUMAN EVER.
Latest comment by: Roxie Rider: "
Rock on, Frankie!"
SIFF Interview: 5 Questions (+5 Photos) with Kevin Bacon
Three Imaginary Girls got to hit the red carpet last night for An Evening with Kevin Bacon and the premiere of Cop Car at the Seattle International Film Festival with Director Jon Watts & star Kevin Bacon in attendance!! !!! !!! I was somehow able to keep my cool (but just barely) while asking him 5 very important questions.
TIG: If YOU had a cop car, would you leave your keys in it?
Kevin Bacon: Noooo! Definitely not; worst decision ever. He's [Sherriff Kretzer; Bacon's character in Cop Car] trying to be cool, but he obviously hasn't really given it a lot of thought.
TIG: Who would win in a fight: Ryan Hardy [from The Following] or Sherriff Kretzer?
KB: I think Ryan Hardy. Yeah. I think he's got some moves that the Sherriff doesn't even know about.
More questions and photos after the jump ...
Latest comment by: imaginary embracey: "
So cool!"
SIFF Take: A Brilliant Young Mind
"If beauty is truth and truth beauty, then maths must be the most beautiful thing in the world."
A pastiche of gorgeous, even sumptuous color and pattern nevertheless maintains a slight emotional buffer, a thin and transparent but ever-present barrier between beauty and the sensation of experiencing that beauty. Drops of red, red blood—redder than a stop light or the red lorry that runs it—retain a rare, fragile beauty, even as it's clear what they represent. The camera often settles just shy of the expected distance, or just a little too close or too far too the side, and we see things, maybe, perhaps at least a bit, the way Nathan does. Nathan's a math genius, and on the spectrum. But A Brilliant Young Mindis not a triumph-of-the-savant film, and it's not about colors. Plot-wise, in fact, it's pleasantly familiar. Nathan (Asa Butterfield, best known from Hugo) convenes with a veritable nerd convention—musical, mathematical, acerbic, semi-cool, insufferable, autistic, and garden-variety—to pursue a slot at the Internationals Math Olympics. They, and the adults around them, go through their sometimes routine, sometimes extraordinary days trying to figure out how to navigate relationships when relationships are far more inscrutable than the math problems they're bent on solving.
{A Brilliant Young Mind screens at SIFF 5/28, at 4pm at The Harvard Exit.}
SIFF Take: Circle
Circle is a Sci-Fi social experiment where a group of people fleeing an alien invasion awaken to find themselves locked inside a room with a giant circular dial in the middle. It takes them a little bit of time to realize that each of them are "voting" to pick who will die. After discussing their options (of which there aren't many; you choose who dies or you might be next), good and bad traits are revealed and cliques form in a battle for survival.
I wasn't sure what to think about this film when it first began—spending 87 minutes in one room with the same people seemed like it might be a bit much, but I gotta give props to the filmmakers; it actually seemed just right. The cast is diverse and not entirely unrecognizable (hi Julie Benz!); something which suits the mood of the movie really well. All in all, I thought Circle was a good, suspenseful way to spend my viewing time.
{Circle screens at SIFF 5/28, 9pm—screening on standby—and again 5/29, 1:15pm at SIFF Cinema Uptown. Directors Aaron Hann & Mario Miscione are scheduled to attend both screenings}
SIFF 2015 Recommendation: ALL THE KEVIN BACON THINGS
In case it's not obvious, I am a huge fan of Kevin Bacon. A large part of this is because of Footloose, sure, because that movie came out right when I discovered dancing was the thing I loved to do the most—and HELLO: Ren McCormack was/is a stone cold fox. Plus: BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER. So good that I wore out my cassette tape in 1984… not once, but twice. But nevermind my Ren-obsession: Bacon is straight-up one of the best actors out there, and I never miss a chance to see him do his thing on screen.
If you feel the same way I do, you can't miss the double-feature of 80's classics screening this Tuesday, May 26 at SIFF Cinema Egyptian: Diner & Footloose. The next night (Weds May 27) is An Evening with Kevin Bacon, including a screening of his latest film: Cop Car.

Some users of our Easter cupcake recipe package have been complaining that the cupcakes fell, flattened and were slightly burnt around the edges. As a result, we decided to re-test and see what was happening. Here's what we found:
We realized that it's crucial to process the batter for the extra 2 minutes indicated in the recipe. While the batter will be smooth before this step, processing it for those remaining 2 minutes makes it looser, smoother and pourable.
When testing the cupcakes both with the 2 minute step and without, the results were dramatically different. The unprocessed batter fell and became flat and messy. The processed ones were had a lovely dome shape and were light and fluffy in the center.
See photo below, with unprocessed on the left; processed on the right:
We apologize to anyone who had difficulty with the recipe. We assure you, that if the recipe is carefully followed, you should have excellent results and a very happy Easter cupcake indeed!

When it comes to major conventions and trade shows, the music industry has South By Southwest, the publishing industry has Book Expo America, the comics industry has ComiCon, and then the housewares industry has the International Home and Housewares Show, held in Chicago every March. It's the nexus for everything new and cool in the housewares industry, which includes everything from kitchen products to bedding to cleaners. For Food Network purposes, of course, I stuck to the kitchen side of the show.
that's what Jonathan, Shirley, and I are in this picture, taken when we took Shirley to Co. to celebrate her last day at FN. Clearly, "Co." stands for "cola" — what are you trying to insinuate, anyway?

Too strong a title for this post, but it was stuck in my head.
I made the Monster Dough Cookie Bites tonight, without the baking soda because I am one of those people who doesn't love cookie dough. Cookies, yes, but the dough I can take or leave.
Mistakes: thinking these could be an "energy bite." They are not. They are cookies.
Using the good Trader Joe's peanut butter for this. It was creamy, and chunky would help, and it is one of those almost-pourable peanut butters, which didn't help it set. But it helped me feel better about the huge amount of sugars in these.
Waiting so long to make them. These are yummy, though I might honestly be the only one in my house who thinks so.
Using my "little" scoop. I only got about 18 cookies, so they should be half this size. That would probably be an improvement.
This is a good basic recipe. I will tinker with it. Me being me, I think coconut would be an awesome addition but I could be wrong. For my purposes too I will probably use 1/4 c chocolate chips and M&Ms, but they are very decadent this way!
Monster Cookie Dough Bites {naturally gluten free recipe}
Yields: 30-36 cookie dough bites, depending on size
(printable recipe)
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional, but it adds a distinct "dough" flavor)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini m&m candies
Stir together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, baking soda, syrup and vanilla until creamy. Add the oats and stir again. Add the chocolate chips and m&m candies and stir once more. Scoop into 1" balls and smooth with your hands. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Bring to room temperature before serving, if desired. The cookie bites will keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for 3-4 months. Enjoy!

I have no interest in violating any internet copyright laws but I don't have a NYT subscription and wanted to be able to access this. This is a genius recipe and all credit to Dorie Greenspan for it. I usually use more potatoes (though still small ones) and more baby carrots (because it's easier) and I rarely bother with the official gravy. But if you have the enameled cast iron pot, this is a great way to use it. I do not find that my chicken turns brown, though; it tends to stay an alarming shade of white. But none of us are skin eaters anyway, so as long as the meat is cooked (and it always is), it is awesome. The one thing to note: a 3.5 pound chicken is pretty darned small when you come down to it, so if you are feeding four or more, you will have very few leftovers, as indicated.
M. Jacques's Armagnac Chicken
Serves 4.
From "Around My French Table," by Dorie Greenspan.
This recipe, une petite merveille (a little marvel), as the French would say, was given to me years ago by Jacques Drouot, the maître d'hôtel at the famous Le Dôme brasserie in Paris and an inspired home cook. I've been making it regularly ever since. It's one of those remarkable dishes that is comforting, yet more sophisticated than you'd expect (or really have any right to demand, given the basic ingredients and even more basic cooking method).
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
8 small thin-skinned potatoes, scrubbed and halved lengthwise
3 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 carrots, trimmed, peeled and thickly sliced on the diagonal
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 thyme sprig
1 rosemary sprig
1 bay leaf
1 chicken, about 3½ pounds, preferably organic, trussed (or wings turned under and feet tied together with kitchen string), at room temperature
½ cup Armagnac (Cognac or other brandy)
1 cup water.
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. You'll need a heavy casserole with a tight-fitting cover, one large enough to hold the chicken snugly but still leave room for the vegetables. (I use an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven.)
Put the casserole over medium heat and pour in the oil. When it's warm, toss in the vegetables and turn them around in the oil for a minute or two until they glisten; season with salt and white pepper. Stir in the herbs and push everything toward the sides of the pot to make way for the chicken. Rub the chicken all over with salt and white pepper, nestle it in the pot, and pour the Armagnac around it. Leave the pot on the heat for a minute to warm the Armagnac, then cover it tightly — if your lid is shaky, cover the pot with a piece of aluminum foil and then put the cover in place.
Slide the casserole into the oven and let the chicken roast undisturbed for 60 minutes.
Transfer the pot to the stove, and carefully remove the lid and the foil, if you used it — make sure to open the lid away from you, because there will be a lot of steam. After admiring the beautifully browned chicken, very carefully transfer it to a warm platter or, better yet, a bowl; cover loosely with a foil tent.
Using a spoon, skim off the fat that will have risen to the top of the cooking liquid and discard it; pick out the bay leaf and discard it too. Turn the heat to medium, stir the vegetables gently to dislodge any that might have stuck to the bottom of the pot, and add the water, stirring to blend it with the pan juices. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens ever so slightly, then taste for salt and pepper.
Carve the chicken and serve with the vegetables and sauce.
You can bring the chicken to the table whole, surrounded by the vegetables, and carve it in public, or you can do what I do, which is to cut the chicken into quarters in the kitchen, then separate the wings from the breasts and the thighs from the legs. I arrange the pieces in a large shallow serving bowl, spoon the vegetables into the center, moisten everything with a little of the sauce and then pour the remainder of the elixir into a sauce boat to pass at the table.
I can't imagine that you'll have anything left over, but if you do, you can reheat the chicken and vegetables — make sure there's some sauce, so nothing dries out — covered in a microwave oven.
Bonne idée
Armagnac and prunes are a classic combination in France. If you'd like, you can toss 8 to 12 prunes, pitted or not, into the pot along with the herbs. If your prunes are pitted and soft, they might pretty much melt during the cooking, but they'll make a sweet, lovely addition to the mix.

Tacocat is a punk-pop quartet from Seattle, Washington that formed in 2007. Drummer Lelah Maupin and guitarist Eric Randall first met while working together at a Safeway grocery store in their native Longview, Washington. After the two relocated to Seattle, they met bassist Bree McKenna and singer Emily Nokes. Bonding over their mutual love for the punk, indie, and riot grrrl music of the '90s, the four members of Tacocat began playing small shows at house parties around town and releasing singles. In late 2010, they released their debut album, Shame Spiral, an upbeat, 13-song album of fun, pop culture-referencing, catchy punk. The Woman's Day EP followed in 2011 and the following year they signed with Sub Pop subsidiary Hardly Art, releasing their second EP, Take Me to Your Dealer. During this time, Tacocat continued to release D.I.Y. singles via their website and Bandcamp page. Their second LP and Hardly Art debut, NVM, was produced by Seattle rock legend Conrad Uno and arrived in February 2014.

c.2014 New York Times News Service
NEW YORK — Mike Woodson was 109-79 in his two-plus seasons as the New York Knicks' coach. His regular-season winning percentage of .580 is the third highest in franchise history. Still, it was no surprise Monday when the Knicks announced that he had been dismissed, less than a week after he and the team finished the 2013-14 season with a hugely disappointing 37-45 record that left them out of the playoffs.

About the owner: Coastal Georgia Cottages is a family owned business. We have lived at Tybee for 26 years and have been in the rental business for a long time. We enjoy what we do and like meeting people from all over the world. I'm a Captain with Savannah Fire and Emergency services and my wife is a nurse with St. joseph's/ Candler hospital. We do all the bookings, maintenance and repairs, purchasing, paperwork, marketing, and anything that goes along with that. My mother, Alicia, originally started this business and has finally decided to retire to do some things she enjoys & to travel. We, as a family, like working & being together. Our small 4 lb. yorkie, Scooter, you might say is the mascot for Coastal Georgia Cottages. You will probably see him in the courtyard from time to time; no you're not seeing a little rat - it's Scooter. He looks more like a miniature raccoon. We hope you will give us the privilege to accommodate you.
Why the Owner Chose Tybee Island:
We love the area and mid island location. It's nice to walk to the beach without the hassle of driving and loading your car and paying parking meters. That gets pretty expensive - usually $20 a day. Tybee is only 20 minutes from historic Savannah. I especially like River Street on the waterfront with all the quaint shops. It's a beautiful city with huge oak trees, Spanish moss & flowers. It's surely a southern town and loaded with history. Besides, this is where Paula Dean lives -YA'LL have heard of her - come try out her cooking at her restaurant or Uncle Bubba's..
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Convenient walk to BEACH, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub! Great mid island location is handy to most everything. As a matter of fact, right here in front of the house is a restaurant almost sitting on the beach which makes it handy to grab a bite to eat and have a cool drink while on the beach. The cottage is on Butler Avenue where all the parades & marathons go right in front of the house. You won't miss anything I assure you. I, too, like the fact that the Gym, Park, bike/walking routes, ice cream shop, store, & library are close to the house.

Awesome: Chaos Theory
- Archer vs. Rider vs. Saber (Chapters 3-5).
- Saber reading Shinji the riot act in chapter 9. And incidentally keeping Sakura from killing him.
- Cut to next scene, and he's stumbling away with a bloody nose and broken ribs.
- In Chapter 4, Shirou gives Shinji a scathing lecture, and threatens to beat him unconscious if he doesn't shut up. When the idiot tries to talk back, Shirou calmly asserts that he was serious. Shinji shuts right up.
- Even better is that Shirou doesn't know what to do with Shinji (due to their history), but there's no way he's letting him off scot-free for his crimes. If there's anything in this story that makes pre-Archer Shirou a budding Badass and "Hero of Justice", this speech is it.
- Chapter 14: EXCALIBUR. That is all.
- From Chapter 9-11: the Enemy Mine between Archer, Lancer and True Assassin against Caster Alter and the fight that follows.
Assassin: "You Missed."
- Most particularly, Lancer manages to unleash a successful Gae Bolg towards the end of the conflict. Sadly, it fails to kill her, and he is subsequently consumed by the Grail.
- Say what you will about True Assassin, but he definitely had his moment in that fight.
- Chapter 14: Despite believing that he might be killed in the process, Archer manages to blindside Caster Alter with Gram (the sword of Sigurd), leaving her to flee licking her wounds afterwards and preventing her from corrupting him with the Shadow.
- More than that though, the Shadow actually DID try to corrupt him, as a glob of it and Caster Alter did a sneak attack on him, but Archer simply pulled a holy sword and slash it off. Something that recently managed to corrupt Lancer/Cu Cuchulain and later on, Beserker/Herakles, failed to corrupt him. Which is actually canon. As Archer mention in Heaven's Feel that since he is not a "normal" heroic spirit, the Shadow can't corrupt him.
- Chapter 16: Saber and Berserker (and later, Archer) versus Gilgamesh. It is utterly glorious.
- Especially when Archer manage to deflect frickin' Ea with Rho Aias, granted it pierce through like it was tissue paper, but it was strong enough to reduce Ea's blast (which is more powerful than Excalibur) into a relatively harmless wind gust!
- Before that, the same chapter depicts Ilya's Shut Up, Hannibal! to Gilgamesh. She's really come a long way since the story's start, hasn't she?
- Chapter 22:
- Shirou going after Caster like something possessed in response to her hurting Ilya, its awesome enough to get Archers's approval
- A partially corrupted Saber slaughtering Berserker Alter, while No Selling everything Caster can throw at her and then finishing him off with an EXCALIBUR blast to the face.
- In general, Lancer Alter for being such a massive Wild Card. Besides resisting Caster's attempts at torture, he eventually caught Assassin off-guard and killed him with a Gae Bolg, backstabbing him at an opportune moment (to the Affably Evil Servant's shock).

I love this flat iron. I have had it for a few weeks now and i use it pretty regularly. It's really gentle on my hair, it heats up fast, stays hot, and cools off fast too. It also straightens my hair evenly and thoroughly so it lasts for several days, or until I wash it again. The best thing about this flat iron is that it's salon quality for a very low price. I have never been happier with another flat iron. (Posted on 5/9/2015)

If I had 3 days in Oregon, where would I travel to? Love sun, water and rock formations. Love to eat seafood (especially shell fish).
Sounds like you need to plan a trip to the Oregon Coast! If sun is an important part of the equation, you should plan your trip for July, August or September. Of course, the coast is spectacular no matter what the weather, but those are the months with the best chance of dry days and sunny skies. The rocks, water and seafood are the easy part. The Oregon Coast is known for its coastline punctuated by nearly 2000 sea stacks and small islands that are all part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. They are great areas for exploring tidepools and watching birds, marine life and crashing waves. On the North Oregon Coast, the state's most famous landmark is Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach. From Cannon Beach, you can also see the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse built on a small rock a mile from the shore. Pacific City also has a Haystack Rock a little further offshore and the beautifully sculpted sandstone headland, Cape Kiwanda. On the Central Oregon Coast, Seal Rocks is named for it's rock formations at the edge of the shoreline. Other great geologic formations include Devil's Punchbowl in Otter Rock and Devil's Churn in the Cape Perpetual Scenic Area near Yachats. On the South Oregon Coast, the beach at Bandon offers numerous rock formations. These are just a few examples. Here's a recent story we did on the Oregon Coast's sea stacks.
Wherever you choose to go on the coast you will find great, fresh seafood. Dungeness Crab, oysters and razor clams are among the Pacific shellfish delicacies you will find. If you'd like to provide more information on what area of the coast you are interested in or where you are coming from, I can make some more specific recommendations. I hope this helps for now.

Other questions about Coast
- We're coming to Oregon this summer. We want to rent a place on the beach, walk, eat well, see local sites and shop in art galleries. We also want to spend a couple of days in Portland. There are four of us and none of us have ever spent time in Oregon before. Do you have any suggestions for how to set up a couple days in the city and four days on the coast? – Elaine R.
- We're interested in renting a home on or near the beach in Oregon for a few weeks this summer. We have kids ages 5, 6, and 12 and are looking for a sandy beach, relaxed quiet community with great fishing, biking and playgrounds. What areas do you suggest? – Lauri
- We are planning a road trip along the entire Oregon Coast next year. I would like to know when is the best time for whale watching, what wouldn't you miss, and how long a trip should we take to make it worth our while? We like to hike and would love to do some fun things as well as the scenery and tide pools. Where are the best places to camp along the way?

European carriers want providers like Apple, Facebook and Google to help finance the billions of dollars worth of network investments that their data-hungry devices and services demand. France Telecom SA, Telecom Italia SpA and Vodafone Group Plc are among those requesting that Apple and the others start paying a usage-based fee.
The carriers note that the ever-increasing pool of mobile users requires significant upgrades to their networks. Eventually, they fear, the cost of keeping up will outpace revenue growth. According to one economic researcher who's following the story, the number of mobile data connections in western Europe is expected to rise to 270 million by 2014 (that's an average of 15 percent per year), and carrier investment is expected to grow by 28 percent to US$3.7 billion.
On the other hand, providers like Apple note that they don't share in the carriers' profits, and don't see why they should be responsible for their network upkeep as a result.
It's a brave -- and pricey -- new world.

News in Brief: Independent Label Market, Kooks, A.A. Bondy, Telluride Blues Fest
By Carrie Battan on September 9, 2011 at 11:30 a.m. EDT
-- London's Independent Label Market is coming to Brooklyn. Brooklyn Flea's Superstar DJ Record Fair on October 8 will host labels including DFA, XL, 4AD, Domino, Secretly Canadian/Jagjaguwar/Dead Oceans, Fool's Gold, Mexican Summer, True Panther, Sacred Bones, and more. More info here.
-- The Kooks will release new album Junk of the Heart on Astralwerks/Capitol Records on September 13. Watch the video for "Junk of the Heart (Happy)" here.
-- Alabaman folk-rocker A.A. Bondy will release new full-length Believers via Fat Possum on September 13. The album is streaming over at NPR.
-- The Flaming Lips, Willie Nelson, Mavis Staples, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, and more will perform at this year's 18th annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, which takes place September 16-18 in Telluride, Colorado.
News in Brief: Treasure Island, the Donnas, A.A. Bondy, Sondre Lerche
By Tom Breihan on July 1, 2009 at 10:35 a.m. EDT
-- Putting a few bands and a few thousand people on a man-made island in the middle of the San Francisco Bay Area feels like a great idea. And for the third year in a row, that's exactly what the Treasure Island Music Festival will do. October 17-18, the Flaming Lips, MGMT, the Decemberists, Girl Talk, Beirut, MSTRKRFT, and many more will all take part.
-- Cali bad-girl pop-punk snarlers the Donnas have now existed for a brain-melting 16 years, which means it's now time for a career-spanning compilation. The band will self-release Greatest Hits, Vol. 16, their facetiously titled career-spanner, on July 7. This summer, they'll open for Blondie and Pat Benatar on tour.
-- On September 1, Fat Possum will release When the Devil's Loose, the sophomore album from roots-rocker A.A. Bondy. Bondy will tour with Conor Oberst this month. Fun fact: If you have any A.A. Bondy songs on your iPod, he's probably the first person to show up under "artists". Maybe that was the idea.
-- Sondre Lerche, the Norwegian boy wonder singer-songwriter who wrote all the songs for the god-awful movie Dan in Real Life, will follow up that soundtrack with Heartbeat Radio, his new full-length. Rounder will release the album, which features string and horn arrangements from High Llama Sean O'Hagan, on September 8.

She is asking for this loan to buy merchandise such as cosmetics and other things for her store so she can continue her sales. She is grateful for this new opportunity.

Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
