Rosalie - from Charlotte, NC
Cake batter, as well as many other batters, should not be saved and used at a later date. The batter should actually be placed in the oven as soon as possible. The baking powder in the cake is used as a leavening agent it becomes activated when in contact with wet ingredients and heated. If you wait too long to put your cake in the oven, the baking powder will no longer work, the cake will not rise, air tunnels will form and you will get less than an acceptable product.

|A white sauce chicken enchilada using sour cream, cream soup, jalapeno, pepper jack cheese and rolled up in flour tortillas.
Sour Cream Chicken EnchiladasWhen I decided to make these white chicken enchiladas it was because I had acquired ten pounds of boneless, skinless chicken tenders and needed to start coming up with ways to deplete some of them. Yes, these are a little different from a red sauce, authentic Mexican style, corn enchilada. There are Tex-Mex style and it uses a white sauce, made using cream of chicken soup and sour cream, a little pickled jalapeno and Pepper Jack cheese for bite, rolled up in a flour tortilla. Speed things up by using pre-cooked chicken or a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Here's how to make them.
Check out more of my favorite Tex-Mex recipes on Pinterest!

Recipe: Easy Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1 can of Campbell's cream of chicken soup
- 2 tablespoons of chopped pickled jalapeno
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 cup of shredded Pepper Jack cheese
Butter or spray an oblong baking dish with non-stick cooking spray; set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil; add two generous pinches of kosher salt and drop the chicken in, bringing the water back up to a boil. Boil the chicken for about 2 minutes, remove, drain and set aside to cool. Once cool, cut into thin strips. If you are using larger pieces of chicken, either cut them up prior to boiling or increase the boiling time as needed, but do not overcook.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat; add the chopped onion and saute just until tender. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream with the cream of chicken soup, blending together well; set aside. Add the jalapenos and chili powder to the sauteed onion, stirring well and cooking for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and add in 3 tablespoons of the soup and sour cream mixture; blend well. Gently fold in the chicken. Divide the mixture in the skillet in half and then each half into fourths so that you have a total of 8 equal portions in the skillet.
Remove a portion of the mixture at a time and spread it along the edge of a tortilla. Carefully roll the tortilla over the filling and continuing rolling it up, placing it into the prepared pan, seam side down. Repeat until the pan is filled.
Spread the remaining sour cream mixture all over the rolled tortillas. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot. Remove and uncover, sprinkle the top evenly with the shredded Pepper Jack cheese and return to the oven uncovered for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Serve with a mixed garden salad, steamed broccoli or green beans. Double or triple for a pot luck.
Cook's Notes: If you prefer a milder version, use green chilies in place of the jalapenos and substitute shredded cheddar for the pepper jack. You may also substitute whole chicken breasts or an equal amount of canned or already cooked chicken.
Homemade White Sauce: Saute onion as above. Make a roux using 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour, stir until blended and cook for 2 minutes. Add in, a little at a time, 2 cups of chicken stock or broth until well blended. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of sour cream until blended. Proceed as above.

Tuesday, February 1 2011 - Get Involved
Call to Action!
January 31, 2011
TO: Citizens of the World Working for Peace
ACTION NEEDED: Protest the Condemnation of Professor Richard Falk, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.
WHY: Professor Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University, has demonstrated courage in saying that there are "gaps and contradictions" in the official account of 9/11. He has been "condemned" for such conservative statements about 9/11 by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and US Ambassador Susan Rice, and Ambassador Rice has called for his removal from his unpaid post at the U.N.
Professor Falk has been devoted to world peace during his lifetime, and he is arguably the world's most qualified legal scholar in the Palestine-Israel issue in the UN where he is very much needed.
Write as a citizen (not part of a movement) to both U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to let them know you disapprove of their censoring statements to Professor Richard Falk, and that you call for an apology to him.
Five sample letters follow. Please do this as soon as you are able. Time is of the essence. And please forward to your peace and justice contacts and those working for peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
Link to Richard Falk's blog on this issue: http://richardfalk.wordpress.com/?s=9%2F11+gaps&submit=Search
ADDRESSES for Ambassador Susan Rice:

Secretary Ban Ki-moon:
Five Sample Letters to Ambassador Rice and Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon
I am a student at the Univ. of Toronto and I have carefully examined your sudden reaction to Prof. Falk's comments regarding 9/11. You were very quick in saying that his statement that 9/11 is a cover-up is offensive and he should be removed from the UN. However Sir, if you actually bother to read some of the statements by US officials such as Senator Dayton (provided below), you will see that Prof. Falk is just stating facts that are far from new.
I am confident that Princeton University will not be intimidated or pressured by your misinformed statements and I hope Princeton supports their own professor. True academics are concerned with facts and truths whereas you Sir are concerned about how "offensive" it appears.
Adnan Zuberi B. Ed Candidate, Univ. of Toronto
Senator Mark Dayton said: NORAD "lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11 commission to create a false impression of competence, communication and protection of the American people." Direct video reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nRoGNqiHBY
Senator Max Cleland, Former 9/11 Commissioner, said "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9/11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up." Reference: http://www.democracynow.org/2004/3/23/the_white_house_has_played_cover
2) From David Ray Griffin, PhD., Professor Emeritus
January 27, 2011
Dear Ambassador Rice:
I have found your recent claims about Richard Falk, along with similar claims by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, to be poorly supported.
Speaking through his Chef de Cabinet, Vijay Nambiar, on January 24, Ban Ki-moon described as "preposterous" Falk's comments about 9/11, in which he described the official account as containing "gaps and contradictions." Ambassador Rice, you declared Falk's comments to be "despicable" and "noxious."
But as the website Patriots Question 9/11 shows, questions about the official account have been expressed by over 3,000 notable persons, including architects, engineers, pilots, professors, medical professionals, artists, entertainers, government officials, law enforcement officers, military officers, and intelligence officers. Secretary Ban Ki-moon and Ambassador Rice, you have both "condemned" Falk's comments. Do you really want to condemn all of these highly respected people for honestly stating their views.
Just as the Secretary-General claimed that Falk's comments were "an affront to the memory of the more than 3,000 people who died in the attack," you, Ambassador Rice, called Falk's comments "deeply offensive." But the website of Patriots Question 9/11 contains a list of more than 300 9/11 survivors and family members. Do the two of you really wish to condemn all of these 9/11 survivors and family members for having stated, frankly, that they have questions about 9/11.
I hope that you apologize to Professor Falk and all the others you have insulted with your unfounded accusations.
Yours truly,
David Griffin
Professor Emeritus
Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology
Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University
3) Professor Tony Hall's Comment on the UN Web page detailing Ban Ki-moon's 9/11 attack on Dr. Falk, 25 January, 2011.
It is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who has discredited himself with his reactionary and ill-informed response to the interventions of Dr. Falk on the state of scholarly controversies concerning the contested events of 9/11.
Certainly Professor David Ray Griffin's ten books on the subject are key works crucial to describing the scholarly landscape of the ongoing research concerning 9/11.
Until Mr. Ban Ki-moon has done his homework on the contested interpretations of what did or did not happen on 9/11 he should restrain himself from criticizing UN staff like Dr. Falk. Dr. Falk is a learned academic who demonstrates his determination to respect human rights by doing the necessary homework to make informed observations and conclusions about the contested events of 9/11.
By not keeping himself up-to-date on the scholarship of 9/11, Mr. Ban Ki-moon is unfortunately part of the constituency that denigrates all Arabs and Muslims who have been smeared collectively by those who disseminate an unsupported interpretation of what happened on the fateful day.
We expect much better from the figurehead of the UN, an institution cheapened and demeaned by the intervention of the Secretary-General into an area on which he obviously has not been properly briefed. Decency requires that the UN Secretary-General favor evidence over the propaganda effects of a toxic public mythology that perpetuates the ruthlessness of the illegal 9/11 Wars.

4) From Frances Shure, Licensed Professional Counselor
Dear Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Ambassador Rice,
Because of your condemnations of Professor Richard Falk, I cannot help thinking that you are completely uninformed, or misinformed, on the issue of 9/11. You are also displaying behavior inappropriate for officials of the UN, an organization whose mission is to promote world peace. Dr. Falk, a Jewish American, is one of the world's preeminent scholars devoted to world peace, and currently, peace in the Palestine-Israel conflict.
According to scientific polls, Dr. Falk's comments conservatively reflect the opinion of a major portion of the US population and populations of other countries. As an example, please note that a 2006 Time Magazine article reported:
"A Scripps-Howard poll of 1,010 adults last month found that 36% of Americans consider it "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that government officials either allowed the attacks to be carried out or carried out the attacks themselves. Thirty-six percent adds up to a lot of people. This is not a fringe phenomenon. It is a mainstream political reality."
In another example, a 2008 World Public Opinion poll of 17 nations outside the US found that majorities in only nine of the countries believe Al Qaeda carried out the attacks.
There are also many professional organizations researching and reporting on the events of 9/11, such as Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (www.ae911truth.org), and Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice (www.stj911.org).
In addition, the national Green Party of the US calls for a truly independent investigation, as does the Colorado Democratic Party. Here is the statement from this party's 2010 Platform:
"WHEREAS many disturbing facts were consciously ignored by the 9/11 Commission; Be it resolved, therefore, that the CDP calls for the establishment of a truly independent Grand Jury and public investigation into these and other anomalies in order to find the truth of the September 11, 2001 attacks, so that we have a greater probability of preventing attacks of this nature in the future."
Therefore, not only are descriptions such as "noxious" and "despicable" unbecoming of officials in your positions, but they are insulting, not only to Professor Falk, but to millions of people around the world.
Professor Falk is sorely needed as a voice for peace in the UN. I hope you will do the research needed to inform yourselves of the reasons Professor Falk made his blog statements, and make a public apology to him.
I look forward to your response,
Frances Shure, Licensed Professional Counselor
5) From Earl Staelin, Attorney
Dear Ambassador Rice,
This is to express my strong disapproval of your attack on Richard Falk for expressing his opinions about the events of 9/11. Mr. Falk is a distinguished international legal scholar whose knowledge of and respect for international law puts him in a unique position to promote a just and lasting peace in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine, in line with President Obama's goals and statements, and based upon international law.
The events of 9/11 were used to justify the war in Afghanistan and the Iraq War despite the fact that the U.S. never provided any of its promised evidence to Afghanistan that bin Laden and al-Qaeda had caused the 9/11 attacks; the FBI has stated it has no evidence proving that bin Laden caused the 9/11 attacks, and it has been well established that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11.
Many prominent and respected individuals have also raised serious questions about the credibility of the Bush administration's claim that 19 Arab hijackers caused 9/11 and call for a new independent investigation. These include:
Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Reagan, and a former editor of the Wall Street Journal; Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst who provided the daily intelligence briefing to several presidents including George H.W. Bush; Robert Baer, former CIA officer and subject of the acclaimed movie Syriana; Robert Bowman, Ph.D., former jet fighter pilot, original director of the "Star Wars" program under Presidents Ford and Carter, and former head of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at the US Air Force Institute of Technology; Dwain Deets, former Director for Research Engineering and Aerospace Projects at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, where he received the NASA Exceptional Service Award; Steve Jones, Ph.D., retired professor of physics at Brigham Young University and internationally distinguished physicist; Lynn Margulis, world-renowned biologi st; Richard Gage, A.I.A., architect who has designed tall steel buildings and founded Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, which now has over 1,400 architects and engineers who call for a new investigation; Dr. Niels Harrit, professor of chemistry at the University of Copenhagen, and expert in nanotechnology; David Ray Griffin, who has written nine books on 9/11, one of which was a Publisher's Weekly "Pick of the Week"; former U.S. Senator Mike Gravel who served in military intelligence in the 1950s and in 1971 entered over 4,000 pages of the (until then secret) Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record.
There are many more distinguished scholars and leaders in numerous fields who question the official story and believe there should be a new investigation, which this time would include any evidence that leads to various U.S. government entities.
It is of particular concern that the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, Philip Zelikow, had undisclosed conflicts of interest, including his key role in writing the Bush administration's illegal preemptive war doctrine which was also used to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is has also been shown that the 9/11 Commission only investigated and reported information that supported their predetermined position that al-Qaeda masterminded 9/11, and failed to investigate or report any of the large volume of information that undermined the 9/11 Commission's position.
The primary purpose of the United Nations has been to promote and establish peace under international law. It is a misuse of your position as Ambassador to attack a public official such as Mr. Falk for his responsible exercise of the right of free speech, particularly when the evidence strongly suggests his position calling for a new investigation has been widely supported by so many prominent scholars and authorities and is backed by a large body of credible evidence. As Ambassador you should be strongly defending Mr. Falk and his right to speak out without calling into question his position in the U.N.'s Middle East effort to achieve a lasting peace.
We strongly urge you to retract your comment and to stand firmly behind Mr. Falk's continuation in his present position.
Thank you for your consideration.
Earl Staelin

My favorite remains La Rochefoucauld, with his: "We all have strength enough to bear the misfortunes of others."
Of her life, very little is to be said, except in regard to her lasting friendship and attachment for La Rochefoucauld.
It was she who then, in her turn, was compelled to draw over La Rochefoucauld.
The doctrine, when expressed in La Rochefoucauld's language, was condemned by Pope.
La Rochefoucauld gives some particulars which explain what follows.
La Rochefoucauld has said that prudence and love are inconsistent.

Architectural Photographer of the Day: It's not every day that architectural photographers get the profile treatment afforded to movie stars and politicos. So Fred Bernstein's lengthy write-up on Iwan Baan, the "Indiana Jones of architecture photography," is something of a recent milestone. "So compelling is [Baan's] work, which depicts the world's buildings being used, misused or even abused," Bernstein writes, "that top-tier architects like Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid dispatch him to photograph all of their new projects, requiring him to fly hundreds of thousands of miles a year." It's notable that Baan is as comfortable shooting from a helicopter (as he is known to do) as he is uploading mobile shots to Instagram. He talked about his relationship with glass and tech in an interview with ARCHITECT last year; read that, and Bernstein's profile on one of the greats. [The Wall Street Journal]

Portrait of a man in the uniform of a Private in the New Zealand Army, with a seated woman. The soldier's collar badges are those of the 5th Battalion, Wellington Infantry Regiment. The woman is wearing a New Zealand Forces button as a 'sweetheart brooch' on her blouse. The resemblance between the two sitters suggests that they may be brother and sister, and the Berry studio number 15655 indicates a sitting date between July and December 1916.

The Berry Boys
During World War I, around 120 Kiwi soldiers had their photograph taken at Wellington's Berry & Co photography studio before they left New Zealand to fight in the war . These portraits are now in Te Papa's collection.
In the lead-up to the World War I centenary (2014-18), Te Papa is working to identify these soldiers and the loved ones they are pictured with. We want to make contact with their descendants, and to record their stories.
Some soldiers have already been identified. For others, we only have the surname etched on the glass negative.

True Grit (1964)
By Donna Tartt
This long-anticipated novel is explosive in more ways than one. Near the opening of Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch (Little, Brown, $30), our narrator — Theo Decker, 13 years old at the time — is wandering through the Met when a bomb detonates, killing his mother and tearing apart the museum and his life. At the time, he is studying the title painting—a goldfinch burnished with light and chained to a perch — "a flickering sun-struck instant that existed now and forever," as does the terrorist attack, imprinting itself on the canvas of his mind, inked in blood and dusted with plaster. In his concussed daze, he comforts a dying antiques dealer and absently makes away with the painting, two acts that will change the course of his life. Over the next few years, Theo navigates a gauntlet of caretakers — some cold, some cruel, some too trusting and benevolent — and he loves and betrays them all, a contemporary Oliver Twist. The novel is Dickensian, too, in its scope, tracking Theo into a troubled adulthood in which he must endure his self-propelled recklessness: the drug addiction, thievery, and romantic entanglements set in motion years before. He is as flawed and variable and capricious and beautiful as the antiques he deals. The prose is so luminous, the characters so richly imagined, that I felt transported, losing days of my life to the years of Theo's. Tartt publishes a novel every decade, and damn if she doesn't put her whole heart into it. This is what a major literary event looks like.

By Nate Jackson
Nate Jackson's Slow Getting Up (Harper, $27) is my very favorite book of the past year, with the possible exception of a collection of Alice Munro's short fiction, which I discount primarily because her otherworldly work was published during decades past but also because Munro, unlike Jackson, did not play tight end and wide receiver for six seasons in the National Football League. Jackson did, and the mere fact that he was but a backup hardly makes it less outrageous that a man blessed enough to make a living playing pro football should also write so well.
It's all here — the lifelong love of a brutal game, the inevitable injuries, the drugs, more injuries, more drugs, the women, still more injuries — and it's all told by the kind of jock you never knew in high school: defiant, honest, smart, painfully self-aware. Jackson's also funny as hell, page-after-page funny — so funny that when things get grim, as when he tries self-injecting HGH in his desperation to prolong life in the league, it lands full force.
Jackson began his pro football life at the bottom, as an undrafted free agent. Slow Getting Up is his first book. Maybe next, he can find a cure for cancer.

A message from Dr. David Duffy, Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit (PCSU), University of Hawaii (posted 05 November 2012):
Because of a lack of funds, HEAR (www.hear.org) may close as soon as December 15, although there may be enough funds to extend it until February 15. This will mean several things. The web site will be placed on a new server although it is not clear who will pay for the server or for transitioning the site. HEAR data will not be updated. The Pacific Ecosystems at Risk (PIER) (http://www.hear.org/pier/abtproj.htm) site will also become frozen, as will numerous books, reports and papers (http://www.hear.org/). As software evolves we will likely lose the ability to access the data. The various list servers will need new owners, otherwise moderated lists will cease to function altogether, while other lists will not be able to add or delete members. The photo collection (http://www.hear.org/starr/images/?o=plants) will remain accessible, but only through a third party site that will charge for access.
I should point out that we have already lost the original homes of both the Pacific Basin Information Node (PBIN) and Pacific Ecosystems at Risk (PIER) although they have found temporary refuges. Together with HEAR, they represent the corporate memory both here in Hawaii and across the Pacific of efforts to sustain our natural ecosystems and agriculture against problems caused by species alien to the islands. HEAR also serves as the glue that holds the community together, providing information and facilitating communication. I just hope hindsight is kind to this decision.

Ship Weight:0.30 George's Aloe - Aloe Hair Shampoo - 8 oz.George's Aloe Hair Shampoo for normal, colored, permed or damaged hair. PH balanced. Helps to strengthen hair shaft and maintain healthy hair follicles. Adds body, restores sheen. Concentrated, Contains vitamin E and panthenol. 51% "Always Active" Aloe Vera pH Balanced For Normal, Colored, Permed or Damaged Hair Adds Body Restores Sheen About George's George Warren, an Independent research chemist in Houston, Texas, developed the special processing method that prevents the spoilage without diminishing the essential properties of the Aloe Vera plant. This new method completely eliminates the aloins, which gives a bitter taste (and the greenish color) to Aloe Vera juices. He also successfully removed the starches and sugars from the polysaccharide molecular chain and thus, George's "Always Active™" Aloe requires no refrigeration, will not spoil in its natural state. This method adds no water, no preservatives, no chemicals of any kind. The finished product looks and tastes like spring water. GEORGE'S ALOE VERA VS. OTHER BRANDSWhy isn't George's Aloe Vera thick and greenish in color? Why doesn't it have that bitter taste most other Aloe Vera products have?The thick greenish substance just beneath the rind in the latex layer of the plant is where the aloins and anthraquinones are located. These substances are irritants and when ingested can cause cramping and diarrhea and in some cases nausea. George's Aloe is a refined product. We remove the antagonistic compounds that cause the bitter taste and irritation to the GI tract. For several years they examined various species of Aloe Vera whereby separating the chemical components of the Aloe Vera leaf. They continued to study the effects of Aloe as a food supplement, they found the digestive tract seemed to be the most important factor, other than our parents genes and chromosomes in determining our health and well being. A newborn's food conversion efficiency approaches 100%. However, as we mature our digestive membrane system loses its efficiency and our body thus makes changes to compensate. The aches, pains and malfunctions of the body can result from changes in the digestive process and many of which may have occurred over a number of years. Dozens of maladies can be derived from what your digestive system has produced. They hypothesize that their "Always Active™" Aloe can help to maintain a healthy digestive membrane system. Consequently, the body makes adjustments that if combined with a daily regimen, can result in better overall health. They urge daily consumption of their "Always Active™" Aloe . Changes are slow, so you may not notice anything of significance for 2 to 3 weeks. For optimum results, they recommend drinking 2 ounces, twice daily of their "Always Active Frequently Asked Questions Q. What are the benefits from drinking Georges Aloe Vera liquid? A. Aloe has been used for centuries to help in maintaining a healthy digestive tract. Evidence through different studies seems to indicate that beneficial properties in the Aloe help in allowing the body to maintain a healthy mucous membrane system. Q. How often should I drink Georges Aloe Vera liquid? A. For optimum results, they recommend drinking 2 ounces in the morning before breakfast and 2 ounces in the evening before bedtime. Q. Why do you remove the polysaccharides? A. The Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller plant has over 200 beneficial components. Although it is believed mucopolysaccharides have beneficial elements, this molecular chain is very large making it difficult for the body to utilize. The complete mucopolysaccharide chain is also the cause of rapid spoilage and breakdown of the product, which is why most other brands contain unhealthy preservatives. They breakdown the mucopolysaccharide chain extracting the sugars in order to eliminate adding any preservatives and increase shelf life. Q. What is a distillate? A. A distillate is a liquid that consists of pure components of a plant in its most basic form. It is unique in that a distillate is comprised of a low molecular weight thereby enabling the body to assimilate its components in the purest form at the cellular level. This occurs both internally, and through the skin' dermal layers, at a much higher rate than would occur if the plant's components were introduced in any other manner. Q. How long should I be drinking Georges Aloe Vera before seeing any results? A. Most people begin to see results anywhere from two weeks to one month. Remember, our bodies are continually shedding cells. It is very important to continue use even after you attain the results you are looking for. Q. Why doesn't Georges Aloe taste bad? A. Most Aloe Vera products are slimy and have a very bitter taste. They remove the chemical antagonists such as the aloins and Anthraquinone that are mildly toxic. As a result, their product has no adverse flavor. Q. Is Georges Aloe Organically grown? A. Yes! Although they do not seek the organic certification, Georges aloe is continually tested for over 50 different chemicals that may contaminate the plants. To date tests has come back negative for any contamination. Q. Doesn't distillation just turn it to water? A. Georges is fractionally distilled, meaning it is broken down into various parts, with the undesirable elements removed. It is then re-assembled. Products such as Jack Daniels & Petroleum are distilled products and would never be confused with water. Q. Can I take too much of Georges aloe? A. They know of many consumers of George's Aloe who drink more than 4 ounces daily. To their knowledge, there are no ill effects of drinking more than the suggested "two ounces twice daily".

Pork loin and sweet potatoes, both of which come into season in autumn, are a classic pairing in the South, and they are naturals together. When a leg or loin was roasted before the fire, sweet potatoes were often laid in a pan underneath it, where they naturally basted in the juices that fell from the roast. They were also frequently baked together, as this recipe does them, in a Dutch oven. You can use any cut of pork: The shoulder (Boston butt), or even a fresh leg, but the loin is especially nice and possibly the best cut to choose.
Our modern obsession with fat has led to the breeding of leaner pigs, and most butchers compound the felony by trimming off the skin and most of the fat; this adds to the danger of drying out the meat by overcooking. Be sure that the meat you buy has not been trimmed too much, but has a healthy layer of fat all round to keep it moist. You can usually get rid of the excess fat at the end.–Damon Lee Fowler
LC Southern Browning? Note
Wondering about the Southern Browning in the ingredients list? Damon Lee Fowler, author of this recipe, explains everything. "Southern Browning is nothing more than flour toasted over low heat in a dry pan until it is colored. Old cooks made this in quantity and put it away in corked bottles so that the flour did not have to be browned at the last minute. Simply put the quantity of flour you want to brown in a well-seasoned iron, enameled iron or non-stick skillet. Turn on the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until it is a rich medium brown, about 5 to 10 minutes, and turn off the heat." So there you have it.
Baked Pork Loin with Sweet Potatoes Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6
- For the pork loin
- 1 pork loin roast, weighing 4 to 5 pounds, preferably not boneless
- 6 to 8 crumbled, dried sage leaves
- Salt and whole black pepper, in a peppermill
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 6 medium sweet potatoes (or use quartered winter squash for a nice change)
- 1/4 cup medium-dry (Sercial) Madeira (optional)
- For the pan gravy
- Roasting pan juices, degreased
- 1 1/4 cups water, meat broth, homemade chicken stock or canned chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fat, skimmed from the roast drippings
- 2 teaspoons flour, or 4 teaspoons Southern Browning (see Note)
- Salt and whole black pepper, in a peppermill
- 1/4 cup medium-dry (Sercial) Madeira (optional)
- Make the pork loin
- 1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat it to 450°F (230°C). Trim some of the excess fat from the pork loin but leave a thin layer to keep the meat moist. Rub it with sage, a healthy pinch of salt, and a few grindings of black pepper. Choose a covered roaster that will hold the pork and sweet potatoes at once. Fit it with a metal rack or trivet that will leave room for the sweet potatoes around it. Rub the rack or trivet with olive oil and put the pork loin on it, fat side up. Drizzle it with a tablespoon or so of olive oil.
- 2. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F, baste again with olive oil, and add a cup of water to the pan. Bake for about 1 hour, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
- 3. Meanwhile, scrub the sweet potatoes under cold, running water and dry thoroughly. After the first hour of baking, place the potatoes around the pork and baste well with pan juices. Bake until the potatoes and pork are cooked through and tender, basting frequently, about 1 1/2 hours more. The meat juices should run clear and the potatoes should yield easily when gently squeezed.
- 4. Take up the pork and potatoes onto a warm platter and put the roasting pan on top of the stove. Skim off the excess fat and make gravy as directed for Pan Gravy, using the fat and roasting juices. If you are using Madeira, add it to the gravy and simmer until thickened, about 4 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasonings and pour into a heated sauceboat.
- Make the gravy
- 5. Have the pan juices in a large fat separator or measuring cup with a good pouring spout. Put the roasting pan over direct medium heat. Add the water or broth and, stirring and scraping to loosen any of the browned residue, bring to a boil. Let it boil for about 1 minute. Take it off the heat and add the contents of the pan to the roasting juices, making sure that none of the browned bits from the pan are lost.
- 6. Place a separate pan, preferably a well-seasoned iron skillet (a saucepan will work, though), over the heat and add the fat. When it is hot, rub the flour or Browning into it with a wooden spoon until it is well blended. If using plain flour, cook until it is beginning to color.
- 7. Gradually stir in the liquid and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly thickened and beginning to bubble. Reduce the heat to a bare simmer, taste and season with the salt and pepper, and simmer for about 5 minutes. For game, pork, or poultry, just before taking the gravy up, you may, if you like, add the optional Madeira and let it simmer 2 minutes longer. Pour into a heated sauce boat and serve at once.

USA Today Op-Ed Endorses Psychologically Damaging "Ex-Gay" Therapy
USA Today published an opinion piece defending the discredited, degrading, and ineffective practice of "conversion therapy" for gays.
In a July 30 op-ed column [1], Nicholas Cummings, who led the American Psychological Association (APA) from 1979 to 1980, criticized the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for filing a consumer fraud lawsuit in New Jersey against the "ex-gay" therapy organization Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing (JONAH). Cummings asserted that many gays and lesbians have been "successful" in changing their sexual orientation through therapy:
When I was chief psychologist for Kaiser Permanente from 1959 to 1979, San Francisco's gay and lesbian population burgeoned. I personally saw more than 2,000 patients with same-sex attraction, and my staff saw thousands more. We worked hard to develop approaches to meeting the needs of these patients.
They generally sought therapy for one of three reasons: to come to grips with their gay identity, to resolve relationship issues or to change their sexual orientation. We would always inform patients in the third group that change was not easily accomplished. With clinical experience, my staff and I learned to assess the probability of change in those who wished to become heterosexual.
Of the roughly 18,000 gay and lesbian patients whom we treated over 25 years through Kaiser, I believe that most had satisfactory outcomes. The majority were able to attain a happier and more stable homosexual lifestyle. Of the patients I oversaw who sought to change their orientation, hundreds were successful.
As Cummings acknowledges, his views run contrary to the APA's strong opposition to "ex-gay" therapy, which the organization describes [2] as harmful and scientifically unsound. Even psychiatrist Dr. Robert Spitzer, who has long been one of the leading figures in "ex-gay" therapy, has recanted his earlier views about the mutability of sexual orientation. In 2012, he described his shift [3] in an interview with The American Prospect:
I asked about the criticisms leveled at [Spitzer]. "In retrospect, I have to admit I think the critiques are largely correct," he said. "The findings can be considered evidence for what those who have undergone ex-gay therapy say about it, but nothing more." He said he spoke with the editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior about writing a retraction, but the editor declined. (Repeated attempts to contact the journal went unanswered.)
Spitzer said that he was proud of having been instrumental in removing homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. Now 80 and retired, he was afraid that the 2001 study would tarnish his legacy and perhaps hurt others. He said that failed attempts to rid oneself of homosexual attractions "can be quite harmful." [emphasis added]
The tactics employed by JONAH make clear why Spitzer describes "conversion therapy" efforts as "harmful." In a press release [4] announcing its lawsuit against JONAH, the SPLC detailed its cruel and humiliating forms of "therapy":
Customers of JONAH's services typically pay a minimum of $100 for weekly individual counseling sessions and another $60 for group therapy sessions. The lawsuit describes sessions that involved clients undressing in front of a mirror and even a group session where young men were instructed to remove their clothing and stand naked in a circle with the counselor, [Alan] Downing, who was also undressed. Another session involved a subject attempting to wrest away two oranges, which were used to represent testicles, from another individual.
"Sadly, there is no accountability for those who practice conversion therapy," said Michael Ferguson, a conversion therapy survivor and plaintiff in the lawsuit. "They play blindly with deep emotions and create an immense amount of self-doubt for the client. They seize on your personal vulnerability, and tell you that being gay is synonymous with being less of a man. They further misrepresent themselves as having the key to your new orientation."
Downing and other counselors at JONAH also use techniques that leave clients alienated from their families. These techniques encourage clients to blame their parents for being gay. Clients even participate in violent role play exercises where they beat effigies of their mothers.
"These counselors are skilled at manipulating you into believing just about anything," said Benjamin Unger, another plaintiff in the case. "During my time with JONAH, they told me constantly that my mom had made me gay. I was so convinced that I refused to have any contact with her for several months, which caused a great deal of damage to our relationship." [emphasis added]
What makes Cummings's defense of JONAH's efforts particularly ironic is that in his op-ed, he reassures readers that he believes "[g]ays and lesbians have the right to be affirmed in their homosexuality." That view is difficult to square with Cummings's support of JONAH, which reinforces the stigmatization and bullying of gays and lesbians, teaching its patients that homosexuality is something to be ashamed of.
Unsurprisingly, anti-gay organizations like the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) [5] have vigorously defended JONAH's efforts. That USA Today joined the likes of NOM and fringe anti-gay activist Bryan Fischer in touting [6] JONAH speaks ill of the op-ed pages' editorial standards.

Vol. 15, No. 4
October 2004
Some dealers believe that if
they did not have any taxable activity during a given period, they do not
have to file the required Sales/Use Tax Report. Except for a limited
number of registered dealers, every person registered to collect and remit sales
or use tax on a monthly basis must complete and file returns each and every
period, even for those periods during which they made no sales subject to
taxation. If a business closes, or the business is sold as an ongoing
business, the dealer is required to return his registration certificate and
Occupational License Tax receipt, indicating the date on which business
activities ceased.
If a return is not filed by
the due date for any period, the Revenue Division will consider the return as
delinquent, and will begin issuing delinquent notices, assessment notices, and
then legal proceedings necessary to clear the account for the affected periods.
Sales/Use Tax Report forms
are provided by the Revenue Division on a quarterly basis. Each mail out
contains three reporting forms dated for the period that should be completed and
mailed, three return mail envelopes, and the latest issue of our "Tax Facts"
Newsletter. If a registered dealer does not receive a report form by the

forms shall not relieve the dealer from the obligation to pay their tax
obligation in a timely manner. Such a failure by the dealer shall not be
considered as a reasonable cause for the waiver of penalty in case of an
untimely filing.
Since August 15, 1995,
various sections of Title 26 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes permits have

WATCH: Harry Styles rescues hurt and crying fan caught in mob
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
Harry Styles came to the rescue of a young fan who got caught in the mayhem surrounding the One Directionsinger in New York on Tuesday.
The boy bander was leaving the Saint Laurent Paris shop when the horde of admirers left one young woman knocked to the ground and crying.
Styles stopped and helped the hobbled fan up, comforting her with soothing words and then a hug before posing for a picture.
It was a sweet moment.

Are Safe4Athletes Model Policy program right for School and Colleges? I see this as a real solution for troubled schools and teams.
Coach/Employee Conduct Policies for School and College Athletics Departments
Every educational institution that is a recipient of federal funds must comply with a federal law, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which includes a prohibition against sexual harassment and include the obligation to have a Title IX Coordinator and widely distributed sexual harassment policies and procedures. This is an area in which the athletics department cannot see itself as operating in isolation. If anyone in the athletics department becomes aware of sexual harassment, sexual abuse or sexual violence of any kind, the case should be reported to the institution and handled according to established Title IX policy and procedures.

Helichrysum: About the Oil and Testimonials
Helichrysum essential oil
is one of the most profoundly healing essential oils to the musculoskeletal system, meaning our joints, tendons and ligaments, as well as the skin. A recent new user of Ananda's Helichrysum had this to say about it:
"I must admit I was skeptical about those things, but having read the literature that you so kindly supplied, I decided to give it a try. I tried it first on my knee which had been giving me literally heck all day and in about five minutes I found I was walking without the pain. I put it down to mind over matter, so I tried it on my back, where i experience a stiffness whenever I bend over, even ever so slightly. I was told that I would experience this for a while until the muscles were completely healed. The stiffness went away. My wife was experiencing backaches from a pulled muscle obtained from bending over to clean the kitchen garbage bin. Without telling her about what I experienced, I told her to let me try something on her back, I rubbed it in - and hey presto - the stiffness went...I have become such a disciple that I have recommended it to others at work. I [also] recommended it this morning to someone in church who is suffering from back pains due to progressive degenerative disc problems."
Un-initiated users are often surprised at its efficacy.
The reason the oil does so much is that it has a very complex chemistry (see:
The Chemistry of Helichrysum
), which has anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and muscle-relaxant properties.
Now, there are over 500 species of Helichrysum, and it is
Helichrysum italicum
which has this particular chemical makeup. The anti-inflammatory components are crucial to pain relief, as it is anti-inflammatory medicines and natural therapeutic products that address pain by reducing inflammation (ibuprofen and aspirin, for example). Inflammation reduction is known to speed the healing process, as this allows the flow of damaged or "waste" material "out", and healthy nutrients and materials "in".
A major part of the inflammation reduction from Helichrysum is considered to be an action of the curcuminoids in the oil -- Curcumin, an extract of the spice Turmeric, which has become a very popular dietary supplement for inflammation reduction throughout the body. In the oil form, these pass readily through the skin to the location of the pain or injury.
Helichrysum is also the only oil known to have specific types of ketones, called 'Italidiones', which stimulate regeneration of tissues. While other oils contain ketones, many of these are considered unsafe for long-term use, yet these in Helichrysum italicum are safe for regular application in high concentrations (Helichrysum can be used "neat", if desired -- at 100% concentration, undiluted in a carrier oil).
Helichrysum also contains "neryl acetate", a constituent considered to be a muscle and tissue relaxant, working at the cellular level. This can assist tight or stiff areas to loosen up, further speeding the healing process. The highest quality of this oil has neryl acetate levels of over 20%, and the oil carried by Ananda has a concentration of over 30%.
While the oil is somewhat costly, because it's distilled from the tiny yellow flowers of the plant -- which contain a relatively small amount of essential oil (meaning a lot of the flowers are needed to produce the essential oil, relative to other plants which naturally contain higher amounts of essential oil) it seems everyone who's tried it for their aches and pains, as well as skin healing, has found it effective. It can also be blended with other anti-inflammatory essential oils such as Ginger, Plai, and Frankincense, and used in a carrier oil which also has anti-inflammatory properties. This can reduce the total amount of Helichrysum needed for certain needs (particularly muscle and joint pain and stiffness).
So if you're looking for an oil that is almost certain to address challenging painful conditions, Helichrysum is certainly worth trying. An example recipe might be this:
For each one ounce of blend:
10 - 20% Helichrysum (3 to 6 milliliters)
1 ml Frankincense CO2
.5 ml Ginger CO2
1 ml Plai
In Borage Seed oil and virgin Coconut oil (for inflammatory conditions of joints and muscles). If using the oil for skin healing, try 3 to 6ml's in Tamanu oil and Coconut oil, plus 1ml of Lavender.

Re: Helichrysum: About the Oil and Testimonials
Good for you. We've had customers use
Helichrysum essential oil
"neat" for scarring, and use it in carriers at a variety of strengths. It seems it works almost any way it's used. One customer had, I believe, a liver transplant. He said he had scar tissue deep under the skin, and used Helichrysum daily for several months, and he told us it worked wonders for him.
These days, with the latest science, we're strongly recommending it be blended with Tamanu oil, which has been shown to actually have many of the same properties as Helichrysum -- regenerative, anti-inflammatory, etc. and with other oils that offer nutrients that Helichrysum do not.
High Concentrations of Helichrysum for Scar Prevention and Healing
I am a proponent of using a very high concentration of Helichrysum essential oil in blends for scars, as the application is on such a small area, the oil NEVER seems to irritate the skin, and the bottom line is that it is the Italidione ketones that are the regenerative component - there doesn't seem to be a reason to dilute it too much. HOWEVER, it may also be that Helichrysum may synergize with the molecular constituents in the other oils recommended in anti-scarring blends. Meaning that the Italidiones stimulate regeneration through one biochemical pathway, and (I am not sure what the constituent is in Tamanu that does this -- I don't think the scientists know yet!) may work through another pathway, speeding the process.
Further, using
oils like Calendula
CO2 with it is really probably a good idea
-- Calendula has also been shown scientifically to speed wound healing, and again likely works through another biochemical pathway. Studies are mixed, but it seems effective for treatment of burns especially - and customers have told us they've used it straight from the bottle with excellent effects.
If I were using Helichrysum for scar prevention of a new wound, the blend would be 2 parts Tamanu, 2 parts Helichrysum and 1 part Calendula (which is actually already in a carrier called Fractionated Coconut Oil -- otherwise it's a solid paste), and dab on the tiniest amount needed to cover the wound 2x daily.
This is really quite strong, and not meant for anything other than dabbing on a very localized area. Of course, one need always evaluate for themselves whether their skin is tolerating this well, or should it be further diluted in Tamanu, or Virgin Coconut.
For older scars, the addition of Sage is often recommended, as it is thought that its ketones -- which unlike those in Helichyrsum should NOT be used at high doses for long periods of time. Sage is said to "break up the scar tissue"; and to either or both of these formulas, Rosemary c.t. verbenone is an excellent addition, as it to has regenerative ketones. Believe it or not, so does Lavender, and ITS addition can prevent irritation. (Research has shown that Lavender oil actually seems to "deaden" nerve endings in the skin temporarily, acting as a mild pain reliever.)
So for older scars, where the blend will be used for a longer period,
the concentrations should be reduced a bit. For a one ounce blend, one could try a base of 50:50 Tamanu and Virgin Coconut (it has a lot of therapeutic healing properties as well), 20% Helichrysum, and 5% each Rosemary Verbenone, Sage, Sea Buckthorn and Lavender (any high-quality one will do, but in this case we recommend our Lavender Vera).
Always Listen To Your Body!
Again, this is really strong, but it's supposed to be applied only one or two drops at a time, only on the scar itself -- and again, one needs to judge for themselves if this is causing further irritation (it shouldn't -- it's not like detox where you feel worse before you feel better!). As in all of aromatherapy, listen and watch how your body, nose, and skin are reacting to the oils. If something seems unpleasant, it might be too much, or too strong, or just not the right oil for your situation. If it doesn't feel right, STOP! (Although I've never heard anyone say that about Helichrysum
But in general, it's a good guideline, and probably the BEST guideline, as the interactions between the human body and the over 100
essential oils
in use commonly are incredibly complex.
Best of luck with your healing!!!

Re: Helichrysum: About the Oil and Testimonials
Hi, all! I have a new Helichrysum story.
Last week, I fell down my kitchen stairs in the middle of the night. Duh. If I'd turned the lights on...well, I wouldn't have this great testimonial! So, I missed the bottom couple of steps and really banged my knee on a lug box when I went down. It was bad enough that I went into mild shock.
HOWEVER! I made sure that I got into my EOs before I curled up under the blankets. I put Highland Lavender on the broken skin, and Tamanu/Helichrysum/Blue Tansy all over the rest of the knee. Didn't take any aspirin. Guess what? No swelling, no undue pain, and only one barely visible bruise after about 4 days. WOOT!!! I reapplied my EOs and Tamanu twice a day for 4 or 5 days, and am down to once a day now. Yesterday, I had to go up and work on my ROOF, and now my knee is almost back to normal! Seems like the exercise did it good.
If I hadn't found Ananda and learned so much about this stuff, I'd still be hobbling around and whining right now. Helichrysum, Blue Tansy, and Tamanu are three of my staples, and have been for some time. This particular incident was the best test yet, and you can believe that I am telling EVERYBODY about it! I IZ A HAPPEEEE CAMPERRRR!!!

A huge, full-on and cheerfully cheap curry house that enjoys mythical status among Londoners and should be on the bucket list of everyone living in the capital.
We've featured Tayyabs every year since it opened in 1972, and every year it gets busier and busier. From its original premises in a small café, it has gradually swallowed up the pub next door. If you come here expecting a relaxing evening, cheery service or an intimate atmosphere, you'll be disappointed: this is a full-on, massive, hectic, loud, in-and-out sort of place. Also, if you come here without booking, expect to wait up to an hour for a table. But we recommend this Punjabi stalwart wholeheartedly because of the cheapness and unreserved boldness of the food. Don't even think about visiting without trying the fiery grilled lamb chops, which is still one of London's best dishes. The rest of the menu is all about rich dahls and masala channa; unctuous, slow-cooked lamb curries; and good versions of North Indian staples – onion bhaji, spice-rubbed tikka, hot, buttery breads and juicy kebabs. Regulars look to the daily specials, such as Karahi lamb chop curry on Thursdays, or meat biryani on Fridays. The corkage-free BYO policy doesn't do its popularity any harm either.

The Doorways International Program Series presents Egyptologist Dr. Peter Lacovara, on the topic of "Life and Death in the Pyramid Age: The Emory Old Kingdom Mummy."
Date: Thursday April 12, 2012
Time: 5:30 pm
Location: Belk Library and Information Commons, Room 114
Life and Death in the Pyramid Age: The Emory Old Kingdom Mummy [1]
An open lecture at Appalachian State University by Egyptologist Peter Lacovara will discuss the oldest Egyptian mummy in the Western Hemisphere. More than 4,000 years old, Emory University's Old Kingdom mummy, acquired from excavations at the sacred cemetery of Abydos in Middle Egypt in 1920, comes from the twilight of Egypt's Pyramid Age. After more than two years of study and conservation, the Old Kingdom mummy has now been exhibited to the public for the first time, restored to its original appearance.
The open lecture will shed light on ancient Egyptian rites and rituals regarding the afterlife, by chronicling the development of the burial site of Abydos and the cult of Osiris, with reference to the current excavations where the Old Kingdom mummy was found nearly a century ago.
Peter Lacovara is one of this country's foremost experts in Egyptology, and is Senior Curator of Ancient Art Collections at the Emory Carlos Museum in Atlanta. He has written and contributed to numerous books and publications on Egyptian art. His fieldwork includes site supervision and excavation at locations such as the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, the Sphinx/Isis Temple, and now at the palace of Amenhotep III at Thebes, where Lacovara is currently excavating. Since Lacovara came to the Carlos Museum, Emory has become one of the South's leading centers for ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern art. In 1999, Lacovara was the driving force behind the Carlos Museum's acquisition of a collection of ancient Egyptian mummies. Included in that collection was a mummy identified as Ramesses I, the patriarch of one of ancient Egypt's greatest dynasties. In 2003, when a delegation led by Lacovara returned the pharaoh to Egypt and residence at the Luxor Museum, the University earned the thanks of a grateful Egyptian nation. Currently, Lacovara is excavating at the palace of Amenhotep III at Thebes.
