I used real bacon bits and added a little bacon drippings to the pan before preparing the barley. It was really delicious, refreshing and very filling. I definitely will make this again and would love to serve it to guests. Perfect for a nice summer meal..
Bacony Barley Salad with Marinated Shrimp
From EatingWell: June/July 2005, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)
Here's a great example of how to cook a healthy dish in minutes - simply cook the bacon in the same pan as the barley to enrich the flavor, add some purchased cooked shrimp, a few aromatic vegetables, and you've got dinner (or a hearty potluck dish) in no time flat.
4 Reviews for Bacony Barley Salad with Marinated Shrimp
This was the first recipe I made from the Eating Well "Healthy in a Hurry" cookbook. It was satisfying in every way. I made this recipe exactly as instructed and it was perfect. I wanted this as a lunch dish (it's classified as a "dinner salad" in the cookbook), so to make the serving a lunch-appropriate portion I cut the serving size from 1-3/4 cups to 1 cup. I made everything the night before and stored the salad in a cup-sized container, reserving the bacon on the side until I was ready to eat it so that the bacon would stay crisp. I also diced and added the avocado just before eating to ensure freshness (avocado goes bad so quickly!), but I'm sure the lime juice would help to preserve it if you needed to add the avocado several hours before eating.
I calculated a few of the nutritional values for the reduced (1 cup) serving size for those that are interested: 208 calories, 10g fat, 3.71g fiber. I'm pretty sure those are right, but feel free to check my calculations.
I would definitely make this recipe again.
We thought this was delish. I didn't make any substitutions (unusual for me) and would make it again. If feeling decadent, add one more piece of bacon. Thought it would be great for a summer party, or a dish to take tailgating.
This was really tasty! I had to use pearl barley because I couldn't find quick-cooking, so I just cooked it according to package directions. Only bummer is that it takes about twice as long to cook. I also used bay shrimp (those tiny pre-cooked ones) because they are local where I live, and I also didn't have to cut them up. Both subs worked just fine.

Behind the Cigarette Holder

IN the decade after Franklin Delano Roosevelt's death in 1945, Washington was noisy with the earnest clatter of typewriters. Public servants of all stripes labored to publish their recollections of Roosevelt. Soon Hemingway and Steinbeck were yielding space on America's shelves to F.D.R.'s cabinet secretaries, speechwriters and sons, as well as his Secret Service agent, his physician and, for good measure, his cook. The F.D.R. memoir remained a fertile genre through the mid-1950's. By the time it waned, Roosevelt's writers had contributed innumerable clunkers, but also a few classics, like Robert Sherwood's ''Roosevelt and Hopkins'' and Harold Ickes's ''Secret Diary.''
It turns out that Robert H. Jackson, who served as Roosevelt's attorney general before being appointed a justice of the Supreme Court and, in 1945-46, senior American prosecutor at Nuremberg, was working on an F.D.R. memoir of his own when he died in 1954. The unfinished manuscript, which Jackson titled ''That Man,'' passed to his son and spent the next half-century in a Manhattan closet. In 1999, when Jackson's son died, his family discovered the draft and enlisted a law professor and Jackson scholar, John Q. Barrett, to prepare it for publication. The result is a lively, revealing and suddenly relevant book.
Jackson's memoir sheds new light -- not always flattering -- on important events and on a president who too often appears only in silhouette: a felt fedora, an upward-tilting chin, a cigarette holder clenched in a grin. Jackson conceived of ''That Man'' as ''a topical treatment of interesting incidents rather than a history or diary.'' The end product, stitched together by Barrett, augments Jackson's manuscript with fragments of a draft autobiography, transcripts of oral history interviews and other documents. Though the sutures are visible, Barrett's selections are well chosen and annotated, and sparkle with what Jackson himself called ''impish candor.''
Actually, ''That Man'' is about two men. Jackson and Roosevelt, both native New Yorkers, first met in Albany after the 1910 elections. Jackson was an apprentice lawyer from upstate, Roosevelt an untested aristocrat in the state senate. F.D.R. struck Jackson as ''all amateur . . . a hothouse plant just set out among weathered and hardy rivals.'' In 1934, Roosevelt, having undercut this impression, presumably, by getting elected president, called Jackson to Washington to join the administration. Over the next seven years, before being elevated to the Supreme Court, Jackson played key roles in promoting F.D.R.'s ruinous court-packing plan, in urging him to seek a third term and in shaping the ''destroyer deal'' that in 1940 sent outmoded American ships to Britain in exchange for naval and air bases on British territories.
''That Man'' displays none of the affectations of intimacy, the straining for a seat at the table, that cheapen so many presidential memoirs past and present. Jackson's relationship with Roosevelt was genuinely close and candid. One of the delights of this book is a memo that Jackson dictated for his files in late 1937, after a 10-day yachting trip with Roosevelt and a handful of advisers. Jackson offers a rare glimpse of F.D.R. at ease, back before presidential vacations became a sort of public theater, performed in denim workshirts in front of photographers. On the yacht, Roosevelt ''was away from curious eyes,'' Jackson recalls. ''We were completely isolated.'' Roosevelt mixes martinis and takes his men sightseeing but is never far from his work -- he combs through pages of news, reads the mail that is dropped twice daily by naval plane and considers ways to keep Fiorello La Guardia, the mayor of New York, out of the governor's mansion. ''In fishing contests, playing cards and conversation,'' Jackson writes, Roosevelt ''was and wanted to be an equal. He asked no favors and granted none. He played the game on its merits. He was able to avoid all pose.''
Though Jackson is loyal -- the book's title appropriates, with a wink, an epithet used by Roosevelt haters who could not bear to utter the president's name -- he does not exalt his subject. Like many of his contemporaries, Jackson lauds Roosevelt's great gifts as a leader -- the profound self-assurance that lifted the nation during the Depression; the prescience in preparing for war; the ''bold, persistent experimentation'' that Roosevelt called for as a candidate and delivered as president. Yet Jackson is frank about F.D.R.'s failings. Among them is the president's erratic management style -- his habit of committing himself in a hurry and making ''snap judgments on insufficient information,'' especially on economic matters. This is not an indictment; it is an observation, offered impartially. ''I do not,'' Jackson writes, ''set myself up as one to appraise the mental processes of the president'' -- a credo with few, if any, adherents today.

The Arms Maker of Berlin (Compact Disc)
August 2009 Indie Next List
"This engrossing thriller has it all: a hunt based on ciphers and clues; WWII and the Third Reich; spies, lies, and cover-ups. Beginning with an intrepid professor who must chase down the legacy of an estranged mentor, the story jumps back to the early 1940s and then back again, weaving a complex tale of love, war, and betrayal. Highly recommended."
— Nancy Fontaine, The Yankee Bookshop, Woodstock, VT
When Nat Turnbull, a history professor who specializes in the German resistance, gets the news that his estranged mentor, Gordon Wolfe, has been arrested for possession of stolen World War II archives, he's hardly surprised that, even at the age of eighty-four, Gordon has gotten himself in trouble. But what's in the archives is staggering: a spymaster's trove missing since the end of the war, one that Gordon has always claimed is full of secrets you can t find anywhere else...live ammunition.
Yet key documents are still missing, and Nat believes Gordon has hidden them. The FBI agrees, and when Gordon is found dead in jail, the Bureau dispatches Nat to track down the material, which has also piqued the interest of several dangerous competitors. As he follows a trail of cryptic clues left behind by Gordon, assisted by an attractive academic with questionable motives, Nat's quest takes him to Bern and Berlin, where his path soon crosses that of Kurt Bauer, an aging German arms merchant still hoarding his own wartime secrets. As their stories and Gordon's intersect across half a century, long-buried exploits of deceit, devotion, and doomed resistance begin working their way to the surface. And as the stakes rise, so do the risks....

By Carola Meusel (USAG Stuttgart Public Affairs Office)August 23, 2011
STUTTGART, Germany -- Spc. Willie Smith was honored by the Böblingen Police Department during a ceremony Aug. 2 for rescuing an elderly couple from an apartment fire in July.
Rudi Denzer, chief of the Böblingen Police Department, awarded Smith, a Soldier assigned to Headquarters Support Company, 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group, Airborne, with a certificate of appreciation and the official coat of arms of the state of Baden-Württemberg Police, to include a declaration in English, during the ceremony.
The event was attended by German police officials, as well as by Maj. Gen. Michael Repass, Special Operations Command Europe commander; his wife Linda; Lt. Col. Isaac Peltier, 1/10th SFG(A), commander; Capt. Steven Payne, Headquarters Support Company commander and fellow Special Forces Soldiers.
They all came to recognize their comrade who selflessly supported the Böblingen Police during a fire rescue mission at Herrschaftsgartenstrasse in Böblingen on July 3.
According to the Böblingen Police, the fire began in a wooden shed located between two houses at Herrschaftsgartenstrasse 10 and 12. Both houses, as well as the adjacent buildings, had to be evacuated.
The timbered house at Herrschaftsgartenstrasse 10 completely burnt down. The home at Herrschaftsgartenstrasse 12 is still inaccessible. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Smith, along with a friend, was on his way home to Panzer Kaserne from the Böblingen city festival, when he noticed the fire at around 3:45 a.m. While Smith ran into the buildings to knock on doors and to inform the residents about the fire, his friend immediately called the police.
"When I saw the fire, my first thought was to run into the buildings to ensure that everybody was aware of what's happening," Smith said.
Meanwhile, 20 to 30 people gathered outside the burning buildings. Some were residents who managed to exit their apartments, and others were curious onlookers.
When the first policemen arrived, they questioned residents and learned that an elderly couple in their 70s, who lived on the first floor of Herrschaftsgartenstrasse 12, was missing. Two police officers and a police volunteer ran into the building.
Smith followed them without being prompted.
"The first time I realized that somebody followed us, was inside the burning house," said Jörg Schilling, police chief inspector of the Böblingen police department. "It doesn't happen very often that people support us during a mission. Therefore, it was a great experience for me and my colleagues."
As for Smith, his first instinct was to run into the building and help.
"I didn't think about myself. I was only thinking about those people inside that building," he said.
By the time Smith and the police entered the house, the thick smoke was making it hard to breathe and see. With some difficulty, the rescue team found the couple.
According to the police, the man was extremely confused and his wife had trouble getting out of bed.
Smith escorted the man out of the apartment and down the stairs to leave the burning building as fast as possible. Because the man was handicapped, Smith's assistance was crucial in rescuing the husband and wife in a timely manner. With Smith's support, the couple was able to escape. As they exited the building, the roof of Herrschaftsgartenstrasse 10 came down.
Other emergency services arrived on the scene shortly after the couple was rescued from the building and escorted to a safe haven.
"Because of Smith's courage and brave commitment, the rescue mission of the police was much faster and prevented any serious injuries of the affected persons," said Denzer, the chief of the Böblingen Police Department.
Smith is a native from Atlanta, Ga., and arrived in Stuttgart in April. The father of three children is assigned to the Headquarters Support Company as a budget technician. Smith has been with the Army for four years. His last assignment was in Kuwait, where he was deployed as a budget analyst for 12 months.
Capt. Steven Payne, the Headquarters Support Company commander, described Smith as a "great Soldier and example for all his fellow comrades, who holds up the Army values by exhibiting selfless service.
"That is exactly what characterizes a Soldier: the need to help others. It's an awesome feeling having one of my Soldiers honored here today. Smith's actions demonstrate our commitment to work hand-in-hand with our German neighbors," Payne said.
After receiving his certificate, Smith addressed the guests and thanked all of them for attending the ceremony and for the honors. Smith said he did not expect them.
"I simply was at the right place at the right time," he said.
Modest words for a brave Soldier, who, despite obvious danger, put his own fear aside to help others.
According to Denzer, that doesn't happen too often in today's world. "Most people are not that concerned about other people's destiny.
"I am so glad that we have such courageous people like Spc. Smith amongst our American friends, who go into harm's way in order to support others," he said.

What would be the code to add a preview image to an flv file.
I entered the following:

What would be the code to add a preview image to an flv file.
I entered the following:
[flash http://www.website.com/video.flv preview={http://www.website.com/image.jpg}]
To display a preview image inside the JW FLV Media Player (used for playback flv files), please use flashvars: f={image=...}.
The preview={} code is used for Flashbox only.
"np" :).
the plug in works well though I have probelms getting an image on to the blog and in the player when using the flash box. You can see the rresults on http://www.marketbytes.com Also the fullscreen does not work. Any ideas? I have had good success with the flv player and thickbox outside of Wp and you have done a great job but to get it sorted I need an image.
The code presenly is .
[flash http://camtasia.mdsmarkets.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Introtest.flv w=600 h=500 preview=force mode=3 f={image=http://media.mdsmarkets.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Images/MB_410x380.jpg&logo=http://media.mdsmarkets.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Images/MB_410x380.jpg&overstretch=true&usefullscreen=true}]
Fullscreen works for me on your site on IE7 and FF2 (MBTV Demo).
This code actually works...
[flash http://camtasia.mdsmarkets.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Introtest.flv w=600 h=500 preview=force mode=3 preview={http://media.mdsmarkets.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Images/MB_410x380.jpg|410|380} f={image=http://media.mdsmarkets.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Images/MB_410x380.jpg&logo=http://media.mdsmarkets.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Images/MB_410x380.jpg&overstretch=true&usefullscreen=true}]
...but it doesn't because WordPress changes 'x' to the HTML code of the multiplication character 'x' instead of leaving the alphabetic one - this is because of the digits before and after it.
I suggest to rename the images' filenames and wait for a plugin update. Last one could take some days/a week as of I concentrate on the media manager at the moment.
p.s.: I should change some paragraphs in the readme file regarding some new features :).
Hi, I'm trying to use this plug in...should this work?
[flash http://swaho.s3.amazonaws.com/media/doctordoctor.flv
cause it's not working and I'm not sure why.
The plugin is activated...you can see the page here:
code is at the bottom of the page.
any help would be appreciated.
yippee..it works...never mind.
i added my video link under "manage media" and then used:
[flash medium=1]
instead and it worked like a charm.
thank you whoever wrote this plugin!
kk. But I wonder why it does not work the "normal" way oO...

The Witcher 2 Devs Working on Two Titles for Next-Gen Consoles
Written Friday, February 17, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
CD Project RED are working on two new games for the next-generation of consoles, due to hit in 2014/15. Both AAA titles, one is a brand new IP and the other is believed to be The Witcher 3, the follow-up to their dark fantasy RPG hitting Xbox 360 later in the year.
"We are definitely starting for new consoles," said managing director Adam Badowski. Head of marketing Michal Platkow-Gilewski added, "The market is ready for something new, for something faster, more powerful."
Badowski continued, "I can tell you we are and we were focusing on powerful gaming rigs. We're going to do something amazing, so we need extra processors.
"It will be multi-platform game, so the multi-release at the same time. But if you are talking about leading platform, we will use most powerful, just because it can give us the freedom of creation.
Almost letting slip details about a next-gen console, Badowski revealed that his team had already begun building a new engine to take advantage of the increased power. "We've already started," he said. "We prepared a backlog for the new features quite a long time ago.
"You probably know that we've decided to develop our new engine that is called Red Engine, so we've prepared a long-term plan for that engine. So we are yes, yes we are developing some features just for the new..."
However, Platkow-Gilewski interrupted, "We are anticipating what the new generations of consoles may be."
The developers inferred, however, that they are not in possession of next-gen dev kits and are merely hoping for a "lucky guess" as to what specs the platforms may have. Badowski says they will be "quite powerful but nothing extraordinary."
As for the new IP the developers are working on, it will be an RPG. But beyond that they remain tight-lipped. "We are staying in RPG," Badowski said. "The whole scenario is quite simple: we're going to create almost exactly the same kind of team, and our policy is to create RPG games for mature audiences.
"But of course the second title will be different than the first one," he continued. "We need to change universe and gameplay mechanics, but the game will be based on a deep scenario as [are] The Witcher games."
Furthermore, CD Project RED are not ready to confirm that the other AAA title they have in development is The Witcher 3. They are hinting at it though.
"Frankly speaking, [we're] not [ready] yet," said Platkow-Gilewski. "Give us some time; I'm sure we will announce it pretty fast in the following months, but we want to do everything in the proper order. And right now we are focused on polishing and bringing the Enhanced Edition to Xbox 360 and PC."
"Especially as on Xbox 360 we don't have the first instalment of The Witcher. So we want to slowly enter the market, educate our gamers/customers - we don't want to [talk] too much about our future projects for now."
The developers also hinted that they have another, smaller, project on the go that may have something to do with The Witcher 1, which has not been ported to consoles.
You are unpacking the gift, you know," Platkow-Gilewski said. "Really soon we will inform the community about our surprise. It will come pretty soon, in the following two months."
Platkow-Gilewski concluded, "Believe us, we want to do as much as possible."
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition for Xbox 360 on April 17th, 2012.

Every Monday we show you how to do something quick and cool using built-in OS X utilities such as Terminal, Apple's command line application. These easy hacks can make life better and simpler, and don't require any knowledge of coding — all you need is a keyboard to type 'em out!
In OS X Lion, Apple incorporated the pop-up accent typing tool that was first introduced in iOS, which allows you to easily access accented characters by holding down the corresponding letter key. But if you don't regularly use accented characters, it might be best to disable this function with a little Terminal hackage.
To disable the pop-up accent window when typing in OS X, open up the Terminal application (located in /Applications/Utilities), then type in the following command followed by the enter key:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
After typing in this command, log out of your OS X account, then log back in for the changes to take effect. After doing this, you'll notice that the pop-up accent window no longer appears when you press and hold down certain keys.
If you ever want to have this menu appear again, type in this command:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true
Then, once again, log out of your OS X account, and then back in for the changes to take effect. After doing this, the accent window will appear again while typing.

It's amazing how chance events affect our lives. The last word.
Your Turn
I didn't write this column. It wrote itself in my head at 6:30 p.m. on 26 May 2014 as I took a shower after finishing the second part of what was to have been a two-part series on good luck, and is now a three-part series.
Impact of chance events amazing Part II
Your Turn
Last week I talked about a few of the events in my life that looked terrible, but turned out to be lucky breaks.
How chance events affect our lives
Your Turn
More than once I have compared my life to the downhill roll of a ball in a pinball machine. Down the slope it goes, rolling calmly and quietly, seemingly headed for a few dull, predictable minutes before it drops into the ball return.
Expect the unexpected in travel – Part 2
Your Turn
Last week we talked about being unprepared for rude shocks as a part of traveling to other lands. It's true, and although I never gave it a thought until I donned a uniform, being in the military is like going to another land. And the rude shocks can be just as bad.
To prepare for travel expect the unexpected
Your Turn
There are some things we just cannot prepare for. Why? Because people — you, me, everyone — are "experts" as long as we stay home, but when we travel? Sorry!
What it takes is caring
Your Turn
Lolly and I are well into the ninth year of her illness, a rare form of Parkinsonism, which is debilitating, progressive, and — so they claim, and I do not believe — fatal. Once in a while someone will say that I must be a special person to have been a 24/7 caregiver all these years. I don't really think that's true.
If you live long enough you can be all wrong
Your Turn
Back in 1943 I discovered O. Henry, a writer famous for his surprise endings. I was just 11, and I liked his stories a lot. In fact, I started out to read every O. Henry book in the library.
A blessing we don't even realize we have
Your Turn
As I write this, it is a Tuesday in early April. I drove from Pine to Payson this morning, something I do once a week when I go shopping for groceries.
Sometimes 'rest of the story' is most important – Part II
Your Turn
Last week I said it sometimes seems as if American history teachers forgot to tell us the "rest of the story." What did they leave out? A major reason why American colonists were so often angry with England: Most colonies were the private property of absentee landlords who ran them as their personal cash cows.
Sometimes the 'rest of the story' is the most important part
Your Turn
Recently I was reading about the French and Indian War in Ben Franklin's autobiography. Massachusetts was under imminent threat of attack and asked Pennsylvania and New York for help. Franklin set out to get a tax bill through the Pennsylvania Assembly to raise money for an army, but ran straight into a stone wall.
Right and wrong can sometimes be a matter of viewpoint
Your Turn
The 15 years right after 1958 were learning years for me.
Invention sometimes is plain hard work, Part 2
Your Turn
Were you surprised last week when Tom Edison was offered $100,000 for one of his earliest inventions — equal to $2,000,000 today — and said he would only accept it if it was paid to him at the rate of $6,000 a year over the 17 years of the patent?
Invention isn't always sudden inspiration; sometimes it's plain hard work
Your Turn
I recently stumbled upon a book about Thomas Edison that tells things that are usually left out. It's called "Edison: His Life and Inventions." Written in 1910 before people began taking for granted the wonderful things Edison invented, it is a great book, one you can get free online at the Gutenberg site.
An unknown expression can be very confusing
Your Turn
Ever find yourself wondering what someone is trying to say? I have.
There's a funny story I'd like to tell, but I don't think I can ...
Your Turn
Well-l-l-l ... Maybe I can, Johnny. Maybe I just can. Had a brainstorm.
There's nothing worse than someone who plays word games
Your Turn
I'm not the kind of person who always thinks he's right. How could I be? There have been plenty of times when I was wrong. So I've always felt that if someone had an opinion that was different from mine he had a right to it.
What made Mom, Mom
Your Turn
Several weeks ago I told you about the light-handed way that my Mom, a widow at the age of 39, raised four sons by herself during the tough years of the Great Depression.
Do we really grow wiser when taught right and wrong?
Your Turn
The question in the title of this column is something I've only begun to ask myself, and I'm still not too sure I know the answer.
Some people are born with a natural sense of humor, Part 2
Your Turn
I've already told you about Roger, one of the NCOs in my small outfit overseas in England. Roger had a knack for saying the right thing at the right time — and usually breaking everyone up with it.
Some people are born with a natural sense of humor
Your Turn
There is nothing as valuable on this stress-ridden planet as a man or woman with a natural sense of humor, someone who brings a smile to today and makes yesterday a thing to smile about. I've known a few people like that in my life, and I'd like to tell you about two of them.
Sometimes the harder we try the more foolish we look, Part 2
Your Turn
I left off last week where my National Guard outfit had arrived at Otis AFB, found it had one more company-size mess hall than it needed and turned the extra one into a break room equipped with a TV set.
Sometimes the harder we try the more foolish we look
Your Turn
I've already told you the funniest thing I've have ever seen in my life, which was me trying very hard to be smart and ending up doing the dumbest thing I've ever done — and the funniest. I've already told you about it, but I'll do a quick repeat so that I can get to numbers two, three and four.
Living for 80 years means a lot more today than it used to – Part III
Your Turn
Last week I warned you that you might think I was out of my mind when you read what I have to say about what may going to happen to information technology — and when.
Living for 80 years means a lot more today than it used to, Part II
Your Turn
Last week we talked about how even the most wild-eyed science-fiction fan back in 1939 would not have dared to predict that some of the changes we have seen in recent years arrive here so soon.
Living for 80 years means a lot more today than it used to
Your Turn
As of last week I have lived 82 years. That's not so unusual; many people live that long or longer, but living that long is different from what it was in the past. We live in a world of accelerating change.
Another birthday coming up
Your Turn
You are reading this, God willing, on Feb. 28, 2014, but I wrote it on the evening of Dec. 24, 2013, the evening before the day of the birth of Our Lord and a time, I felt, for reflection and a counting of blessings because my birthday was coming up soon.
Meditation is not for all of us
I've always believed that since we're all different it's only natural that we like different things, but I also believe there's a natural overlap among us, and when someone says he hates something other people seem to love, he may be missing out on a good thing.
A promise is a promise – sometimes, Part 2
Your Turn
Last week, I left off at the point where George Dasch and Pete Burger had landed on a Long Island beach as part of a four-man German sabotage team.
A promise is a promise — sometimes
Your Turn
Although you will read this at a different time, I am writing it on Thanksgiving Day, a day when you and I are focused on things we are thankful for.
The flip side of 'free' is 'broke'
Your Turn
Last week I talked about the way we jumped at a chance to get anything free during the Depression. The reason was simple; most of the time it was the only price we could afford. Everything is so different today.
Back when a buck was a buck – 'free' sounded mighty good
Your Turn
Because people had almost no cash during the Depression, anything that was free, or almost free, got a lot of attention.
Lucky, lucky, lucky me
Your Turn
In 1952, along with the rest of my Air National Guard outfit, I waited at Camp Kilmer in New Jersey to board a troop ship for Iceland. A male vocalist on a live radio program sang a song that made me think. It was called "Lucky, Lucky, Lucky Me." The words really stuck in my head.
When someone really loves you
Your Turn
I'll bet that humans, both male and female, have asked that question from the beginning of time. It's a good one. I don't even pretend to have the answer, of course, but 81 years of observing my fellow man — and woman — have led me to suspect that there are part answers.
Movies and TV programs have strange effects on some people
Your Turn
Back when I was a kid of 8 or 9, just old enough to go to the movies by myself, it was exciting to listen to my brother Frankie each time he came home from the Victory Theatre and told about the latest adventure film.
At 21 even the greatest among us may not be done growing up – Part 3
Your Turn
In 1895, arriving from New York City, Winston Churchill landed on the sweltering island of Cuba where a revolution had dragged on for more than 30 years. Churchill's goal in going to Cuba was twofold: He was a soldier and wanted to see what war looked like, but a second problem nagged at him.
At 21 even the greatest among us may not be done growing up – Part 2
Your Turn
Last week we left 21-year-old Winston Churchill gazing landward as his ship approached New York City, where he was about to learn that there was more to life than the stodgy attitudes he had absorbed during his then short and aristocratically sequestered life.
Even the greatest among us may not be done growing up at age 21
Your Turn
I mean no irreverence to Winston Churchill in writing this. I use him as an example because it seems so impossible that he, of all people, could have said some of the things he said when he was young.
Some parents have the knack of raising children with a light hand
Your Turn
I was writing about Mom last week when something intriguing popped into my head. We were talking about the questions I asked Mom. I could only remember a couple of important ones; probably because I've forgotten the simple ones all kids ask when they're young.
What is happiness?
Your Turn
My mother, God bless her, was quite ordinary the way we ordinarily judge people. And yet, every time anyone ever said anything about Mom it was always more than just a nice comment, it was a rave review.
It pays to live a life that fits who and what you are
Your Turn
Several weeks ago I read an article that spoke of a Australian nurse who collects the things people most often say as they reach the end of their lives. No. 1 on the list was, "I wish I had lived a life true to myself, not the life others expected." I agree with that. It's the secret to happiness.
Speaking up honestly in the military can at times be costly – Part 2
Your Turn
Last week we were talking about making a choice between earning brownie points in the military by staying quiet, or speaking up and taking your lumps.
Speaking up honestly in the military can at times be costly
Your Turn
If 21 years in the Air Force taught me anything it was that there are times when you have to stand up and be counted. There were times when I found myself faced with a choice: Either ignore the oath I swore and play the brownie-points game, or do what was right and take my lumps.
And then there was the time I almost killed my brother-in-law
Your Turn
Three years spent in Pakistan, combined with four in the UK, have firmly convinced me that there is no such thing as "English." There's Britspeak and there's American, and Bob's your uncle!
Before you get too excited about something, it pays to go look at it – Part 2
Last week, my outfit shipped out to Iceland, where in 1952 many people were card-carrying Communists. In those days the Communist world was a mess as countries like Russia and North Korea ran like clocks with broken mainsprings, but wide-eyed dreamers outside the Iron Curtain world didn't know that; they believed that everything inside was peachy keen. The result? Friction between American troops and those who fell for Communist lies.
Before you get too excited about something, it pays to go look at it
People sometimes ask me why I am so dead set against Communism. The answer? In 1952 and 1953 I had a couple of run-ins with wannabe Commies who thought that Communism was great. The run-ins didn't amount to much, but they taught me what "misinformed fanatic" means.
Some jobs are harder than they look, Part 2
Last week I told you the sad tale of a mother and her six young children who had to spend an entire month living in transient quarters while they each received two shots that had to be given two weeks apart.
Some jobs are harder than they look
You know a big problem with being young, Johnny? When we're young we lack the experience to recognize that what looks like an easy job may turn out to be a lot harder. A great deal depends on an unpredictable human factor.
The greatest mistake of my life
A few weeks ago I ran across a news story about an Australian nurse who recorded the most common regrets expressed by people who were nearing the end of their lives. As I read the article I was not surprised to find that the greatest regret of my life was one of the top five.
It's surprising how many cars we own in a lifetime, Part II
In 1957, two Air Force bases and two more stripes after I went back into the service, I spent 50 bucks for a mud-green 1950 Plymouth which quickly found its way to its natural home — the junkyard. Then came a solidly built Chrysler Saratoga two-door with a metallic green finish and a Red Ram V-8 that whizzed me over halfway across the country from Texas to New Jersey.
It's surprising how many cars we own in a lifetime
It's often said that America has a love affair with the automobile, and I have to tell you that I have no argument with that, none at all. How could I? I just did a count. I've owned 14 of the little puppies.

Myfico scores matched Fico scores run by lender the same week
After checking all three of my fico scores two weeks ago TU-666, EFX-663, and EXP-650 on myFico.com, I let a lender run my credit report that same week and he said that my scores were all the same except my EXP was 656 instead of 650. But there was a couple of days in between I had the lender run my credit report, and maybe one of the accounts I paid down the previous month updated within those two days.
Since I didn't understand what my middle score of 663 meant, I instantly found out that in California that meant that I would qualify as an Alt-A prime rate customer. If I am not mistaken, you need to be at 680 or above to be considered prime. But I could stil be able to get a loan without a prepayment penalty and be considered prime with a middle score of 663.
With that middle score, I was told that practically any lender could find me a loan with a rate of 6.12% with a 1/2 point buy down. But since I have a pre-payment penalty I am going to wait until next year hopefully having my middle FICO above 700.

Major food industry organizations will press the 110th Congress hard in 2007 to scrutinize and potentially cap dramatic rises in credit and debit card interchange fees, combat organized retail crime, and make estate tax repeal permanent before its temporary window closes in 2011.

LOL, What a maroon.
"Sen. McConnell's usually astute political radar was a bit off today," Schumer said.
"This may be a moment in Senate history when a senator made a proposal and, when given an opportunity for a vote on that proposal, filibustered his own proposal," said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). "I think we have reached a new spot in the history of the Senate we've never seen before."
Hey urso: I wish McConnell would filibuster his own party (including himself) more often - LMFAO! This is beginning to remind me of a circular firing squad - at least the Repubs' have not tried to pass a declaration of war against America yet. "who let the dogs out... woo woo woo"
Sentiment: Buy
pushing 70 and getting his share of senior moments more often.
Time to put in age limit on all fed posts. HP CEO's must return by 62, at least used to be.
So pukes are self-obstructing now.

text: Headland, AL - A single-vehicle crash early Sunday morning proved fatal to a Newville man. James Bert Brantley, 42, of Newville, was traveling north on County Road 33 in Henry County when the 1994 Mercedes he was driving ran off the road, struck a drainage pipe and overturned. The crash occurred at 2:20 a.m. about 1/2 mile north of Headland. Mr. Brantley, the driver and only occupant of the vehicle, was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and was ejected from the vehicle on impact. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Henry County Coroner Derek Wright. Alcohol is believed to be a factor, and Troopers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.

I was wondering if I could install SharePoint Workflow manager in one of the Servers where SharePoint 2013 is installed. I couldn't find an example if this kind of infrastructure was possible. All guides had a stand alone server for Workflow manager. If this is possible, which server would be appropriate for the installation WFE server of APP services server ?
Yes of course you can and the this article recommends you to be considered on both these scenarios.
Yes, you can install on an existing SharePoint server or on a dedicated server.

It seems as if you hit return in the box it ends it. I need to have hard returns in the boxes so that there's several paragraphs, bulletted lists, etc in the "box".
Here's the current code I'm using. If you can provide any help it'd be greatly appreciated.

Autism Spectrum Disorders affect 1 in 68 children. And every 20 minutes another child is diagnosed.
At Hope Network, we give these children a chance.
Located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Hope Network Center for Autism is where we diagnose and treat autism spectrum disorders (ASD), providing comprehensive outpatient treatment with an emphasis on evidence-based, early intervention, and ABA therapies with children as young as age two. We also provide services to older children and their families.
Call 616.942.2522 to get in touch with us.
Every child grows, develops and matures differently. However, it can be helpful for parents to understand how their child is developing and accomplishing milestones in comparison to other children in their age group. Explore each area to see an easy-to-understand grid.
If you feel that your child is significantly delayed in several milestones, please consult your pediatrician or contact the Center for Autism.
Autism Spectrum Disorders are characterized by delays in the development of socialization and communication skills. Parents may note symptoms as early as infancy, although the typical age of onset is before three years of age. Each child who is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders will have a unique combination of symptoms that makes it essential for treatments to be customized for each child's unique needs.
Unlike autistic disorder and Asperger's syndrome which have specific symptoms for diagnoses, Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) is a diagnoses given to children who may exhibit some symptoms of Asperger's or autism, but do not conclusively match a diagnosis for either.
Family Rounds
Hope Network offers monthly educational programming, specifically for parents of people with autism, called Family Rounds. An extension of the lecture series Grand Rounds, which began in 2012 for professionals and the public, Family Rounds will provide a specific forum with resources and information for parents of people with autism. Parents will learn about solutions available to them, network with other parents and autism professionals, and help build a knowledgebase of the tools in the community.
The topic matter will address an array of areas, including social development, available organizational resources, housing options, financial support, job placement and coaching, continuing education, transitioning to independence, federal/state/municipal support, and emotional wellbeing.
RSVP is optional, but appreciated. Please email attendance firstname.lastname@example.com.
Professional Grand Rounds
Our professional Grand Rounds is a series of lunchtime lectures on topics relevant to practitioners in the field. Lectures are free of charge and open to the public. Pizza lunch will be provided. Following each lecture, there will be an opportunity for questions and answers.
All lectures are from 12:00-1:00 p.m. at the Hope Network Education Center, 775 36th Street SE, Grand Rapids, MI.
Please RSVP to email@example.com.

Web plugins such as Flash, Java and JavaScript can be used to add a range of interesting features to web sites, but there are also a number of downsides. In addition to reducing the performance of sites, there is also the potential for scripts to be used for malicious purposes. NoScript is a Firefox addon that can be used to prevent the running of scripts on the sites you visit.
The addon automatically blocks all such content, but there may well be occasions when you need it to run. When you encounter such as site, you can easily add it to a whitelist so that scripts will be allowed to run now and in the future - ideal for banking and shopping sites.
You can choose to be notified when a script is blocked, so should a site fail to function as expected you can opt to enable individual page elements as required. The settings you choose to use can be quickly backed up by saving them as a bookmark so they can be restored when you have to reinstall, or transferred to another computer.
With hardly any user intervention required, NoScript offers a superb level of protection against site borne security threats and ensures that you have full control over what is allowed to run in your browser window.

MIAMI (AP) - The woman vying to be Haiti's next president is holding a rally in Miami.
Mirlande Manigat is set to visit a church in the Little Haiti neighborhood Sunday.
The 70-year-old is a law professor and former first lady.
In a flawed initial election with 19 presidential candidates,
Manigat outpaced the field but fell short of the 50 percent needed to win outright in November. She now faces 50-year-old former singer Michel "Sweet Mickey" Martelly in a runoff election March 20.
Both candidates have sought financial and political support from the roughly 800,000 Haitians living in the U.S.
They can't vote, but they send home more than a billion dollars a year.

A person familiar with Cleveland's search says the Cavaliers are in "serious talks" with Byron Scott to be their coach.
After completing interviews with several candidates including
Los Angeles Lakers assistant Brian Shaw, the Cavalier have decided
to "move in the Scott direction," said the person who spoke to
The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the process
is supposed to remain confidential.
The person says Cleveland has not yet offered Scott its job.
"Nothing is done," the person said.
Scott, a two-time NBA coach of the year, was believed to be a
leading candidate to replace Phil Jackson in Los Angeles if he
retired. Jackson is expected to announce his plans later this week.

Forums → News and Feedback → Button - Delete Game
- 10 Replies
What? What about it? it's sick? I think you can do it nice and original!
What exactly are you trying to say? Are you suggesting a game or are you suggesting that we get the ability to delete games based on a vote etc.
I'm talking about button "Delete" that is in player profile on site, it is not solid for Armorgames.
That only means that you can delete it from your favorites list, not the site.
And dont wonder if you see the same on your friendslist... same there, its also means you can delete someone from your friendslist, but the user isnt "deleted" from AG^^
I'm not sure about this, but maybe he's trying to say that the "Delete" button on the favourite games list should be improved. I have to admit that it took me a while to notice the word "Delete" on that list because it's a bit small for me, but I wear glasses (that could be the reason why I didn't see it earlier).
Why some1 needs to do this? i'm here to ''delete'' a button and then what you do???,can any1 tell me about it?
Why some1 needs to do this? i'm here to ''delete'' a button and then what you do???,can any1 tell me about it?
I think he wants a button that instead of having to go to your game and press the un favorite button you can just delete it while looking at a list of your favorite games.
At least that is what I see.
I think he wants a button that instead of having to go to your game and press the un favorite button you can just delete it while looking at a list of your favorite games.
Ohhhhhhhhh . I don't have many games on my favorite list so I never clicked on the "All favorites" button. :/
Well now I have no idea what he seems to be talking about. I'm sure he's probably already clicked the all favorites button by now so it probably isn't that.

Rick: A lot of things could be having an impact on how well your bread rises. One of the key things to consider is what type of yeast you're using and how it is stored and handled. How long you knead your dough also matters a great deal, as does the temperature of the water, what type of flour you use, and how much water is in the dough. If you switch between bread flour and all-purpose flour for yeast bread, the amount of water has to change as well. Bread flour not only has more of the proteins that make gluten, but also contains more ash, which make it necessary to use more water to get the dough to the same consistency.
If you're new to baking, I strongly suggest you start small and learn to bake some basic sandwich bread before trying to tackle something as daunting as sourdough. There is an art to baking bread, and it helps a lot to learn how the dough should feel and behave during mixing, proofing, and so on. A good sourdough starter is something you need to be truly committed to and that needs a lot of attention and care to keep going, and you would need to bake with it on a consistant schedule. If you do insist on tackling sourdough right out of the gate, I suggest you make your starter from whole rye flour. I'm told that starters made from whole-grain rye flour are the most likely to develop properly and tend to have the most sour flavor down the line. Unfortunately, few people have ever had a true, strong, sourdough bread with a real tang to it, and the stuff sold in the bakeries of most grocery stores is not true sourdough bread at all. If you'd like recipes for either sandwich bread or a good rye starter, let me know and I'll pass mine along. I make and sell bread all the time to friends and family, as well as for myself. I haven't bought a loaf of bread from a grocery store in nearly 10 years.
Hi guys, I am new to this group and new to trying to bake. I was wondering if there were any suggestions about baking sourdough bread? I love the bread and want to try to make some.
chip can I have some of that apple charlotte lol looks good
Looks fantastic; congrats on making it from scratch.
They look good, Jeremy!
granola%20bars.jpg I just made some granola bars from scratch.
Impressive. I just tried making a caramel pastry cream to serve as a pudding after dinner tonight, but the caramel flavor just isn't there. It's a good dessert, but the flavor is no where near where I wanted it. I will have to get some more milk and exparament with a higher ratio of sugar to milk and less starch. When I get the right flavor, I'm going to make cream puffs with it.
Wow :0) Chip, that looks great. I'm inspired. Maybe I'll try it myself. My favorite go to...some type of fruit galette, always makes for a simple yet impressive autumn dessert. Well, actually any time of year. I switch it up with seasonal fruit.

Outstanding plugin. Congrats!
My main theme is Twenty Twelve (and, of course, I created a child theme).
I decided not to put any social media icon into the author box. Also, I am using AddThis. The sharing icons are displayed right below the author box:
In some browsers, these icons are displayed on the right side of the box:
Is there any way I can add a
somewhere in the plugin code (or anywhere else), in order to add a line between the bottom of the author box and the sharing icons, for them to always appear under the box, not on the side? If so, where?
Thanks for your help.

Dissecting Death: Secrets of a Medical Examiner by Frederick Zugibe, MD and David L. Carroll [Broadway, July 2006, 256 pages, $14.00]
One look at current bestseller lists around the world and it's clear: fictional crime procedurals are hot. If you've a giftee with an appetite for the grisly, why not hold off on buying him the latest Kathy Reichs or the new season of CSI on DVD and pick up the real thing? Zugibe, chief medical examiner in New York's Rockland County for 35 years, is somewhat of a doyen in the world of forensic pathology. Via exploration into 10 of his most challenging and eye-opening cases, he tells us why. These are not investigations solvable within hours—some take years. Zugibe's purpose is not to thrill or exploit, but to involve the reader in just what his job entails: detail, duty, and supreme dedication. It's hard going, but man is it enthralling. [Amazon]

We have put together this list of the 10 Most Amazing and Bizarre Sex Records in order to put the spotlight on those who do some extraordinary things behind closed doors.
We have put together this list of the 10 Most Amazing and Bizarre Sex Records in order to put the spotlight on those who do some extraordinary things behind closed doors.
Choosing the 10 Best Super Bowl Commercials of 2014 was no easy task, but we have narrowed this year's library of amazing ads down to the best of the best.
Here's the top tunes KRNA is banging out in January.
The Super Bowl might bring the promise of glory to one group of lucky fans and humiliating and bitter defeat to another, but for the rest of the universe, it's a chance to enjoy some primo, top-of-the-line adver-tainment.
Today's Babe of the Day is an Internet vixen. Feast your eyes on xoGisele!
Not too much is known about Miss Val Keil, today's Babe of the Day. But we do know she's both cute and hot as hell at the same time, which is enough for us.
We have debated over countless beautiful women, and we have finally come to a conclusion: there are no losers in our list of the 100 Hottest Women of 2014.
We've seen some pretty cringe-worthy moments in our lifetime, but these next ten examples of people failing to high five each other might take the cake.
Some of you may not be familiar with today's Babe of the Day, Hitomi Tanaka, because she's a Japanese adult video actress. But hey, it's always fun to learn something new every day, right?
There are times in life where everyone just reaches a fork in the road and that next step truly defines what will become of their future. Sometimes in music, there's fame, success and creative fulfillment ahead and other times there are opportunities forever lost for something that might have been truly great.

Wow! This look ssoooo yummy! Thank you so much! You are right, this recipy ingredients are easy to find and not that expensive!! Thnx so much!! I thought also about doing soy meat…do you have a recipy using or cooking soy meat?
Hugs and kisses!
Not in season but boy I've missed tomatoes, thank you Mexico.
I promised some friends I would share my regular day dishes recipe since I became vegetarian. I have to admit it hasn't been easy and more when I was talked into old school Atkins Diet, so you can imagine how of a challenge it has been this whole lifestyle change; then I get lucky and I find recipes I make weekly depending on the season, my cravings or my budget: Chili.
This one is for you my dear friend Ileana (for those who love makeup & anything beautiful read her blog she is awesome!)
1 cup cooked kidney beans
1 cup cooked black beans
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 diced Sweet Pepper (I used orange)
4 stewed tomatoes (1/2 can reg. size)
1 carrot, 1 medium yellow onions (slice)
1 small bunch of cilantro (slice)
1 small bunch of scallions (slice)
2 stalks of celery
Cumin, paprika, salt & pepper
1. Oil your pan and on high heat until it's almost smoking then sautee your onions, once they are almost caramelized add the sliced carrots, peppers, then the celery.
2. Season the veggies and taste, cook for 2 more minutes and add the quinoa then the tomatoes, cook for 2 minutes then add the beans, depending on how chunky you like your chili adjust with vegetable stock or water, add cilantro and scallions cook for 1 more minute taste as much as you can and serve!
I served this chili with corn tacos, a side of sauteed peppers and corn, guacamole (store bought I haven't had luck with avocados these past couple of weeks so this was safer) and pico de gallo.
This recipe is so easy to adjust depending on the veggies you have, beans and spices!
No excuses for making a delicious, budget-friendly vegetarian meal folks!
¡a comer!
