Update 9/25/10
The post has disappeared from Healthy Eats. I have posted a similar version with the original recipe here.
Just a quick post today. For the full article and recipe, check out my guest post at Healthy Eats blog on gluten free spaghetti and meatballs.

I also wanted to include a photo of Ancient Harvest Gluten Free Supergrain Pasta, so you can compare the color to other pastas. Their gluten free pasta is made with corn and quinoa flours.

And I will share an admission. I didn't carefully read the package and bought an Ancient Harvest variety that is made with quinoa and wheat. Even cooked it up and sampled it. Both boxes look nearly the same. And both were in the gluten free section of my grocery store. Oops! It was in the gluten free section, it must be OK, right? Unfortunately not always.
So again I say, read the labels carefully.
Care to share any goofs you have made?

Premature Discussion of Flacco's Mounting Hall of Fame Credentials
First, a caveat: He's obviously not a lock at this moment in his career. In order for any of this to be relevant, he has to continue these trends for at least another 5 seasons, and preferably 10+ more seasons.
However... it is interesting to note:
The only quarterbacks to have as many or more playoff wins as Flacco, and as good or better of a passer rating in those wins, are:
Joe Montana - 16 Wins - 105.4 QB Rating
Brett Favre - 13 Wins - 107.3 QB Rating
Troy Aikman - 11 Wins - 109.2 QB Rating
Kurt Warner - 9 Wins - 110.0 QB Rating
Peyton Manning - 9 Wins - 104.3 QB Rating
Bart Starr - 8 Wins - 108.6 QB Rating
Steve Young - 8 Wins - 105.0 QB Rating
Eli Manning - 8 Wins - 100.1 QB Rating
Dan Marino - 8 Wins - 99.6 QB Rating
And then there's our boy:
Joe Flacco - 8 Wins - 98.7 QB Rating
First, a note on Bart Starr: His actually has credit for 9 wins, but I was being fair to everybody else and taking away his 1965 game against the Baltimore Colts where he was injured out of the game on the very first play. Frankly, he shouldn't get credit for that win.
Now, One thing I notice about that company is that all of them are either in the Hall of Fame (Montana, Young, Aikman, Starr, Marino), or absolute Hall of Fame locks (Favre, Warner, P. Manning, E. Manning), with the exception of Joe Flacco and Eli Manning.
Eli Manning has made a pretty good case for himself to get in some day, as well. Could Flacco be on pace to make a similar case?
By the way, the other QBs with as many or more play-off wins as Flacco (but with a lower QB Rating in those wins) are:
Tom Brady - 17 Wins - 93.8 QB Rating
John Elway - 14 Wins - 88.0 QB Rating
Terry Bradshaw - 14 Wins - 96.0 QB Rating
Roger Staubach - 12 Wins - 92.8 QB Rating
Ben Roethlisberger - 10 Wins - 88.2 QB Rating
Donovan McNabb - 9 Wins - 92.3 QB Rating
Jim Kelly - 9 Wins - 85.9 QB Rating
Jim Plunkett - 8 Wins - 88.6 QB Rating
First, a note on Staubach: he actually only has credit for 11 wins, but I'm being fair to him and including his stats and the win from the 1972 Divisional game against San Francisco, which he didn't start, but he came off the bench with 2 minutes left, down by 12, and won the game.
Now, Once again, that's some pretty grand company. You've got your Hall of Famers (Elway, Bradshaw, Staubach, Kelly), and your absolute Hall of Fame lock (Brady). Then of course you've got Roethlisberger, who may get in some day, and Donovan McNabb, who at one point in his career looked like a shoe-in, but after a drawn-out fade-out to end his career, may not be in the conversation anymore. Jim Plunkett is still in the conversation, and may still get in some day. If he doesn't, it's because he never had long-term success and wasn't good in the regular season. Obviously, there's also the matter that these three guys haven't been as instrumental to the win in their post-season victories as Flacco has been, as evidenced by their lower passer ratings in those games.
So accounting for all 17 players in NFL history with as much or more post-season success as Flacco, all but 4 are Hall of Fame guarantees. That's fantastic company, especially considering that 2 of those remaining 4 also have a good chance to go in some day, and the other 2 are on the fringes of the conversation, and 3 of the 4 who aren't locks were not as instrumental to their post-season successes for their teams as Flacco has been for the Ravens.
I guess what I'm trying to say is... Flacco has been building himself a nice little career here, that at its current trajectory, if we are fortunate enough for him to continue it, looks set for a ride all the way into Canton.

Re: Premature Discussion of Flacco's Mounting Hall of Fame Credentials
I'll bite on this just because....
No. His current trajectory is not going towards Canton.
He needs to win a Superbowl, Then a second and maybe a third.
Throwing for over 4000 yards with 28-30 TD's and less than 10 interceptions every year for the next 8 years would probably help.
A season where he was NFL MVP or offensive player of the year would help.
Making a pro bowl would be good. I realize it is just a popularity contest sometimes, but if people don't think you are one of the top 2 or 3 QB's in your conference multiple times in your career while you are playing, it is hard to convince people 5 years after you retire that you were one of the best of your generation.
Playoff success is nice but for Canton, you need more and Joe does not have it..... yet. I love Joe and am happy he is my QB, but even with his success, his next 5 years need to be a LOT better than his last 5 before anybody could even start considering Canton. Nothing would make me happier if his carreer started to get closer towards a Canton trajectory, but right now, no.
Re: Premature Discussion of Flacco's Mounting Hall of Fame Credentials
Jim Plunkett isn't a HOF QB just because he won 2 Super Bowls.
I love Flacco as a player but stats do matter in HOF discussions. A QB isn't a pitcher; wins aren't all that important in the eyes of the selection committee.
At his current trajectory, no he is not a HOF player. Even if he maintains his current production and wins 2 Super Bowls, he still isn't a HOF QB. At his current trajectory, he'd prob end up with 1 Pro Bowl selection if he's lucky. Now, I know the Pro Bowl is generally a bunch of BS but the selection committee definitely takes Pro Bowls into account when picking HOFers.
However, I do think he has the ability begin to accumulate HOF numbers. Much like Eli started putting up Pro Bowl numbers after his Super Bowl win my hope is that Flacco jumps to the next level and starts averaging 4000 yards and 30ish TD's per year. If he can get there and continue that production for a number of years, he'll get some Pro Bowls and he'll be much closer to consideration for the HOF.
Re: Premature Discussion of Flacco's Mounting Hall of Fame Credentials
5 years in the league and Joe has 5 playoff appearances, 3 AFC championships, and now a Superbowl appearance. If he keeps that up he is a shoe in despite what some people may think...the guy is getting the job done. Is he not?
This is what you expect from a QB that was drafted in the first round, not like some other knuckles heads from years past who cost more than just a 1st rounder. Makes me sad about how many opportunities were lost for Ray.WOW! I feel so fortunate that the Ravens did what they had to do to make this happen. Thank you. My Heart is with the Raven....My Heart is with Baltimore and its great fans. What can I say. Here We Go!!! --Ray Lewis
No, Thank you Ray... :ww:

Re: Premature Discussion of Flacco's Mounting Hall of Fame Credentials
I'll wait for his career to play out more. Love to hear the nay sayers, they have some sort of idea that they can call out what will happen. Five years and Flacco has made some elite QBs careers look pale in comparision to what Flacco has achieved. Time will tell and I for one would hope his career gets him into the HOF. Where are those predictors who said he wasn't going to be a QB to take the Ravens to a SB. Or the guys who said they would never pay top dollar for Flacco? Sit back and enjoy the ride that the Ravens are giving us. The guy who is taking the snaps and leading the offense has done a great job these 5 years. I'll be along for the ride for the rest of his career. Still Wacko for Flacco.

Mr. Linta? Is that you? :)

His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
So you guys are saying that even at his current trajectory he wouldn't be a hall of famer? If he wins the Super Bowl this year than identical production over another five years would get him 2 rings, 18 post season wins (most all time by today's leaderboard), and 12 road wins in the playoffs (with nobody else having more than 5). I'm just saying, the pace at which he wins games is unprecedented and if it continued he is a lock. Bulk numbers don't make a winner. Anybody who watches Flacco play should be able to acknowledge his leadership, his level headedness, his playmaking that contributes to so many team wins.

Re: Premature Discussion of Flacco's Mounting Hall of Fame Credentials
I used to think Todd Heap and Chris McAllister were both potential Hall of Famers, too.
Things happen. We'll see. I hope you're right, Mr. Linta.Festivus

Re: Premature Discussion of Flacco's Mounting Hall of Fame Credentials
Lets take a ganer at them.
Almost 33k yards at 61.5 completion pct.
1.17:1 TD:INT ration with 165 Total TD's
81.6 career Qb rating
3 SB's, 6 PB's and 3 All-Pro's.
in 12 years
exactly 1 season with over 20 TD's, ZERO seasons above 3500 yards.
career average game... 200 yards, 1 TD, .85 picks...
carre QB rating 86.3
hopefully about to get his first SB, 0 probowls, much less all-pro seasons
in 5 years
4 straight seasons with over 20 TD's, 3 straight over 3500 yards
career average game...220 yards, 1.28 TD's .7 picks
SO, as can be seen, he msut keep up his team success, perhaps even increase it, while his personal stats are far better, yet his personal ACCOLADES trail dramatically, much relating to the popularity of AMerica's team.
Currently, Flacco has MORE than 17000 yards at 60.5 pct
1.82:1 TD:INT ratio with 102 total TD passes

Kevin Hart defends Kanye West's outbursts
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Actor and comedian Kevin Hart is defending Kanye West's recent outbursts over his supposed marginalization in the fashion world.
In an interview with RollingOut.com, Hart says he understands West's frustration with the fashion industry because the rapper feels like no one in fashion will give him a chance to produce his own clothing.
The "Grudge Match" actor explains that Kanye's frustration often emerges as a "rage of passion." Kevin recommended that people start looking past the surface of Kanye's rants and outbursts and instead focus on the messages behind them.
Hart even co-signed Kanye's fashion abilities by saying that the rapper really "knows what he's talking about."

BC Blanked by Winthrop, 6-0September 19, 2013
BC returns home Saturday
ROCK HILL, S.C.- The Brevard College men's soccer team was unable to overcome an early offensive attack and dropped a 6-0 decision in a midweek nonconference match against Winthrop at Eagle Field in Rock Hill, S.C. Thursday evening.
Winthrop (5-0-1) remains unbeaten on the season and netted a season-high six goals while BC (2-3-0) dropped its second consecutive road decision this week and managed only two shots on the evening.
The Eagles scored early and often, jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the first 11 minutes of the match. Adam Brundle put Winthrop on the board in the fourth minute when he bested BC goalkeeper Heath Turner on a penalty kick. The Eagles' Josh Choice earned his first of two assists in the sixth minute when he found Achille Obougou on a through ball. Obougou ended up one-on-one with Turner and chipped over the Tornado's netminder to make it a 2-0 match.
In the eighth minute, Winthrop tacked onto its lead when Patrick Barnes buried a shot into the bottom left corner to give. In the 10th minute, the Eagles' Max Hasenstab extended Winthrop's lead to four when he netted a goal on a through ball.
Winthrop tacked a pair of late goals in the 69th and 85th minute to make it a 6-0 match.
BC's Turner finished the evening with five saves while Juan Mascaro Jr. made his season debut and earned a save as well. The Eagles outshot the Tornados, 21-2, and held the corner kick advantage, 6-4.
The Tornados return to action Saturday when they open up South Atlantic Conference play against Queens at 4:30 p.m. at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.

elgato - perhaps you selected an inappropriate packet to replay (i.e, replay packet was too short, etc.).
Have you tried the -p 0841 method? This will allow you to inject any packet to the AP to generate IVs.
Also, not every AP is suceptible to the KoreK chopchop attack and you'll have to do some research to learn if the Thompson TCW710 is one of those.

What a difference one veto makes.
The conservative Utah Grass Roots, issues a report card every year for the legislators and the governor to measure how well those elected officials stuck to conservative principles, as measured by Grass Roots.
Last year, Gov. Gary Herbert was given a score of 75 percent, the highest score the tea party-leaning group has ever given a governor.
Last year, Grass Roots clearly appreciated Herbert's conservative stands.
This year, not so much.
In what must be one of the most dramatic turnarounds from love to scorn in the history of Utah politics, Grass Roots, for the 2013 legislative session, gave Herbert a score of 27 percent, a drop of 48 points from the previous year's score.
Herbert still is pretty much the same guy he was in 2012. He says most of the right things to appease the Republican base. He supports putting federal land into state jurisdiction, he's been pretty consistent on gun rights laws, a must for any good Utah Republican, and he's a man-made climate change skeptic.
What more do you want?
Well, he vetoed HB 76, which passed the House 51-18 and the Senate 22-7, and would have allowed individuals over 21 years of age to carry concealed weapons without a permit.
Herbert said the current law, which is one of the most pro-weapon holder laws in the country, is working just fine.
But in the eyes of the right wing, the veto is an insult to the Second Amendment and the first step toward taking away our liberties.
Herbert signed some other bills that Grass Roots didn't like, but it was the veto of Utah's effort to emulate 19th century Tombstone, Ariz., that really got under the organization's skin.
All in all, it was a pretty bad year for Grass Roots and its tea-party cronies.
Grass Roots gave the 2013 House an average grade of 46 percent, compared to members' lifetime average of 55 percent. It gave the Senate an average score of 40 percent, compared to members' lifetime average of 55 percent.
Most of the top vote getters from Grass Roots in 2012 are no longer in the Legislature. (Where have you gone, Patrick Henry? The right wing turns its lonely eyes to you, woo, woo, woo).
Rep. Mike Morley did not run for re-election, Rep. Bill Wright was defeated in the primary election, Rep. Craig Frank ran for the Senate and was defeated in the primary, Rep. Brad Daw was defeated in the primary, as was Rep. Merlyn Newbold. Rep. Ken Sumsion ran for governor and lost in the party convention, Rep. Chris Herrod ran for the U.S. Senate and lost in the convention, and Rep. John Dougall was elected state auditor. Of the two top vote getters in the Senate last year, Sen. Casey Anderson lost in the primary, but right-wing fixture Margaret Dayton is still in there sniping about the socialist U.N. agenda of the highly acclaimed International Baccalaureate Program in public schools and the invasion of wolves.
The waft of moderation in the Legislature can be attributed to a shift in the character of the neighborhood caucuses, where delegates are elected, in 2012.
That's because Sen. Orrin Hatch's campaign spent a great deal of time and money to make sure the caucuses were heavily attended by his supporters and not taken over by the same tea-party types that ousted Sen. Bob Bennett in the State GOP convention in 2010.
Which is why Grass Roots founder Don Guymon was one of the leaders at the State Republican Central Committee last week against efforts to reform the way candidates are nominated by their political parties.
Now that Hatch has been re-elected, the right-wing purists should be able to regain control of the neighborhood caucuses and elect true believers, like themselves, as delegates to nominate the most extreme candidates they can find for public office.
As fellow tea-party enthusiasts Peter Cannon said in defense of the status quo, "Our Founding Fathers did not like a democracy and we don't like it either."
I don't know about you, but I've always found it a little creepy when party officers setting policy for the selection of candidates actually carry on conversations with people who have been dead for nearly 200 years.

LOS ANGELES - Nick Conway, the former executive director of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, will stand trial on felony conflict of interest charges, a judge ruled Thursday.
After an unusual two-week deliberation, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge M.L. Villar de Longoria said a thorough re-examination of the evidence from the preliminary hearing showed there was enough to suggest Conway was guilty of the charges.
At issue are four contracts managed by Conway for the COG, a regional planning body, for which the COG approved amendments and extra costs amounting to at least $148,000.
Each contract represents a separate criminal count. If convicted on all four counts, Conway faces a maximum of seven years in state prison, according to the District Attorney's Office.
"He sought out contracts that benefitted him," said the judge.
Kenneth White, Conway's attorney, said he appreciated the judge taking her time but did not agree with her interpretation of the evidence.
"I have to respectfully disagree. The documents and records show Mr. Conway's company aggressively seeking out grants for the COG was part of the COG's Strategic Plan. This was not Mr. Conway's initiative, this was the COG's direction to him for the way it wanted to go," White said.
Assistant District Attorney Dana Aratani said he was pleased by the ruling.
"We think the judge made the right decision," he said. "It looks to us that the evidence supports the felony charges."
Conway, a Pasadena resident, is due back in court on Feb. 28 for an arraignment before the start of the criminal trial.
When asked if Conway, 60, would enter a different plea at the trial arraignment - he pleaded not guilty in July after charges were filed - White responded: "On the 28th? No."
White hinted he would file a motion challenging the judge's finding of probable cause. No new motions were filed Thursday.
As part of his job with the COG, Conway and his company, Arroyo Associates, solicited and managed grants from 2008 to 2011 that were used to help cities meet new energy requirements and to improve wetlands. One grant was paid for by Southern California Edison ratepayers, according to court testimony.
The crux of the conflict-of-interest allegations is whether Conway brought in this money as a financial benefit to himself - because his company was typically paid to manage the grants - or whether that benefit was the appropriate result of his duties as the agency's contracted staff.
Aratani argued that Conway steered four grants to the COG and paid himself additional monies each time. The conflict of interest arose when Conway sought out the grants as president of Arroyo Associates, his management company, and paid himself using COG or grant funds.
"He is getting a revenue stream because of his position as executive director (of COG)," Aratani argued in court two weeks ago. "If we don't stop there, he could get a fifth grant, a sixth grant, and hire more people at Arroyo and then his business would be much larger."
The judge Thursday at first seemed to agree with the defense, saying the documents were all approved by the COG board and that new contracts meant additional work and additional compensation.
"The problem is, he created the extra work," Villar de Longoria said. "There is sufficient cause to believe the defendant is guilty of these charges and will be held to answer."
Still, White said in an interview that he was happy the judge recognized the key argument of the defense, that Conway acted with the approval of the COG board and its general counsel.
"He did what was specifically approved by multiple general counsel for the COG who were specifically tasked to look out for conflict-of-interest issues. I believe those attorneys failed the COG and him," White said.
Later, White said the witnesses who testified against Conway had biases that they did not fully disclose. He also said: "They had voted for and approved the very contracts they were now complaining about."
It is believed White was referring to Walnut Councilman Tom King and Diamond Bar Councilwoman and current COG board member Carol Herrera. King painted a picture of Conway of being in the business of producing grants for personal gain.
"He is simply trying to develop a defense posture to publicly poison the jury pool," added King.
Walnut is one of two cities to withhold dues from COG; Irwindale is the other. King has said the city will withhold dues until the COG conducts a forensic audit "to endure that all public funds are accounted for."
Conway headed up COG for 17 years until Oct. 31, when he was fired. All contracts with Arroyo Associates were terminated. Conway was granted $155,000 in severance pay.
The COG has hired acting San Bernardino City Manager Andrea Travis-Miller as its new executive director. She takes over on Sunday.
Conway, who had previously posted $100,000 bail, was released on his own recognizance Thursday after the judge said he is not a flight risk.

Will Ferrell accepts Chili Pepper drummer's challenge
Listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers on iHeartRadio
It looks like the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith and Will Ferrell will be facing off in a drum battle.
The back-and-forth between the two similar-looking men started last week when Smith posted a video to "Funny or Die" demanding that Ferrell stop impersonating him.
The Peppers drummer went on to challenge the "Anchorman" star's so-called drumming skills, and now Ferrell has accepted the challenge. He says that if they raise $300,000 dollars for Cancer for College, he'll face off with Smith in "the greatest drum vs. cowbell showdown the world has ever seen."

Julia Smithe bought her single-family home on Ocean Boulevard three years ago, but has never heard of the two-year-old state law requiring single-family homes to have a carbon monoxide detectors.
Smithe isn't alone.
In fact, most California families are unaware of the law, which has just been expanded to include multi-family housing units and apartments with gas-burning appliances and/or attached garages.
The Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act went into effect in July 2011, mandating all single-family homes install detectors, with hotels and motels to be compliant by 2016.
On Jan. 1, the law was updated to include all California homes, but officials from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection estimate only one in 10 homes has a carbon monoxide detector in their homes.
Smithe said she has heard many sad stories on the news of families losing their lives to the deadly gas, but just hasn't installed one in her home.
"I think it's time that I get to the store, buy one and install it," she said. "First off all, it's the law, which I honestly didn't know. And second of all, I have a smoke detector, and not having a carbon monoxide detector is stupid and not worth any loss it could bring."
Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer because the gas is odorless and colorless.
According to fire officials, an average of nearly 500 people die every year of carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, carbon monoxide poisoning sends more than 20,000 people to the emergency room.
The detectors themselves are relatively inexpensive, ranging from $20-$40 at most hardware or home improvement stores. Some local fire departments even give them out for free.
Fire officials recommend that one carbon monoxide detector be installed on every floor and outside each sleeping area.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. Victims sometimes confuse it with food poisoning or a stomach virus.

This guide is a simple one to get encryption setup. This is not the best way of doing things
However it is probably the quickest and easiest to do.
First things:
After the install is complete before you go on READ THE MAN PAGE and the faqCode:root@bt:~# apt-get install ecryptfs-utils Reading package lists... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: ecryptfs-utils libecryptfs0 libtspi1 0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded. Need to get 331kB of archives. After this operation, 1212kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
See also the web page at http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/Code:root@bt:~# man ecryptfs root@bt:~# /usr/share/doc/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-faq.html
This is important for your security.
Next run the setup
Once this is done there will be a new directory created called PrivateCode:root@bt:~# ecryptfs-setup-private Enter your log in passphrase: enter your actual log in info here Enter your mount passphrase [leave blank to generate one]: ************************************************************************ YOU SHOULD RECORD THIS MOUNT PASSPHRASE AND STORE IN A SAFE LOCATION: a706b05233346537fa28121a40e2040ce THIS WILL BE REQUIRED IF YOU NEED TO RECOVER YOUR DATA AT A LATER TIME. ************************************************************************ Done configuring. Testing mount/write/umount/read... Testing succeeded.
Since I did this with the root user account it is stored in /
Inside this directory is a readme read it before proceeding.
So in order to use your new encrypted directory you will need to log out and back in.
Now your log in passphrase along with the aforementioned mount passphrase will be used to mount the directory Private.
New users accounts can be added simply by:
There are caveats to using this type of system. Only data you store in Private is encrypted. Any data saved or collected while browsing the internet that is stored elsewhere on the system will be not be encrypted. If you have a swap partition it will not be encrypted either. As with most encryption systems if you leave physical access or access to the encrypted container open (suppose you leave the computer and go out for a coffee, without logging out) then again the data would be accessible. Also when you log out the folder will show that there is encrypted data in the directory. There are more options available in the man page.Code:root@bt:~# adduser -encrypt-home foo
Have fun.

Thank you for this and for your help on IRC.
I didn't need full-on HDD encryption, but wanted a safe place to dump a few "grey area"-type files and this works out perfectly for me.
I recommend installing as root and then using a slightly less privileged user for general use. Then you can just su to the root to access your Private directory or run applications that need root privs. This decreases the chances of someone gaining access if you get up to go to the bathroom/get coffee/whatever, especially if you keep in the habit of always hitting ctl+alt+l any time you walk away from the keyboard no matter what.

Ask The Paris Review
John Jeremiah Sullivan Answers Your QuestionsBy John Jeremiah Sullivan
This week, our Southern editor, John Jeremiah Sullivan, stepped in to address your queries.
Dear Paris Review,
I live in the deep south and was raised in a religious cult.
Still with me?
Okay. I'm attempting to throw off the shackles of my religious upbringing and become an intelligent well-informed adult. My primary source of rebellion thus far has been movies. I would watch a Fellini movie and then feel suddenly superior to my friends and family because they only watched movies in their native tongue (trust me I know how pathetic this is). My main question involves my reading selections. Obviously, I have stumbled upon your publication and am aware of its status as the primary literary periodical in English. Also, I have a brand-new subscription to the New York Review of Books, since it is apparently the intellectual center of the English-speaking universe. I am not in an M.F.A. program or living in Brooklyn working on the Great American Kindle Single, I'm just a working-class guy trying to take part in the conversation that all the smart people are having. This brings me to my question: What books should I read? There are so many books out there worth reading, that I literally don't know where to start. To give you some background info: I was not raised as a reader and was not taught any literature in the Christian high school that I attended. What kinds of books do I like? My answer to that would be movies. I'm desperate to start some kind of grand reading plan that will educate me about the world but don't know where to start. The classics? Which ones? Modern stuff? Should I alternate one classic with one recent book? How much should I read fiction? How much should I read nonfiction? I went to college but it was for nursing, so I have never been taught anything about reading by anybody.
I realize this stuff may be outside of your comfort zone, as most of the advice questions seem to be from aspiring writers or college-educated people. Please believe me when I say that I am out of touch with the modern world because of a very specific religious cult. I want to be an educated, well-read, cultured, critically thinking person but need some stuff to read. Before I end this letter, I'll provide an example of just how out of touch I am: you know how "Ms." is the non-sexist way to refer to a woman, and that "Mrs." is sexist? Yeah, I just found out about that. I'm twenty-five.

Old Fallout Shelters Discovered In The Southern Tier
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) _ Two fully-stocked, Cold War-era nuclear fallout shelters have been discovered in the basement of an upstate New York school.
The Star-Gazette of Elmira reports that the custodial staff at Watkins Glen Middle School led library media specialist Maggie Field to the long forgotten shelters, where she found boxes of emergency supplies neatly stacked in boxes.
The shelters were among the many established across the U.S. in the 1950s and `60s when Americans feared a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union.
Few at the school knew they had two in the basement. Even the local emergency management director says he didn't know they were there.
Field wants to donate some of the shelter supplies to the local historical society and offer the rest to history teachers for use in their lessons on the Cold War.

Corporate sponsorships of Olympics make political investments look like a very good deal
August 5, 2016 | If you thought there was a lot of corporate money in politics, you haven't seen the amount of cash that goes into sponsoring the U.S. Olympic games. Eleven multinational corporations each paid the International Olympic Committee an estimated $100 million for a four-year partnership that gives them coveted advertising rights during the global sporting competition. (International Olympics Committee…
Capital Eye Opener, Dec. 14: Corker Ends Season With Most Leftovers, Koch Industries' Lobbying on Pace to Surpass Last Year's Level, and More,
December 14, 2012 | Sen. Bob Corker finishes his race with a tidy $6.3 million in the bank -- though that's still a far cry from Sen. Richard Shelby's 2010 record of $17 million.
News Companies Popular Investments Among Congressmen
June 15, 2011 | Many members of Congress have a vested interest -- beyond just their political careers -- in the performance of the same organizations that are supposed to be their watchdogs, a Center for Responsive Politics investigation indicates.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
Lawyers, Doctors, Give Cash to Sway Tort Reform Elements in Health Care Debate
September 8, 2009 | When President Barack Obama gives his much-anticipated speech about health care Wednesday night before a joint session of Congress, he won't likely address medical malpractice reform, much to the chagrin of the country's doctors. Given that health professionals are the second largest contributor this election cycle to candidates and party committees, they might feel slighted by the president's omission.
Committee Members Speak Out–Or Stay Mum–On Health Care
July 9, 2009 | Over the past three weeks, Capital Eye has contacted members of five Capitol Hill committees responsible for drafting health care reform legislation this summer. Here are their responses (and non-responses) and the money they're collecting from various industries.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.

Harper Seven Beckham Is Really Happy She Can Walk; Also, Blue Ivy Carter Exists
Celeb baby roundup time! Harper Seven Beckham takes her first steps and Blue Ivy Carter comes out of hiding. Awww!
-Lucia Peters
For someone who just turned one year old, Harper Seven Beckham has certainly had an eventful life thus far, hasn't she? Between the potential modeling contract and the, y'know, world-famous parents, she's been a busy little girl since the day she arrived on the planet. And hey, guess what? She's just reached a very important milestone: She can walk!
This adorable image popped up on Kennedy PR managing director Caroline Kennedy's Twitter yesterday. Harper and her mum, Victoria Beckham, are currently in Dublin getting ready to launch Victoria's new line for Irish department store Brown Thomas—and while they were there, Caroline snapped this priceless pick of little Harper toddling along. We're not totally sure whether these are Harper's first steps ever, or just her first steps in public; but either way, it's a pretty momentous occasion. She looks pleased as punch to be mobile finally—as well she should be. Awwww!
Read Sofia Vergara Tops Forbes' List of Best-Paid Actresses in Television. Congrats!
Meanwhile, not to be outdone, Blue Ivy Carter has finally come forth with proof that she is, in fact, a real live baby (maybe now we can put to rest all those weird "she's just a baby doll!" rumors?). Mama Beyonce took Blue Ivy shopping with her at chi-chi Manhattan department store Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week, where an eagle-eyed shopper took this pic:
Another Bergdorf-goer was pleasantly surprised to find herself shopping next to Beyonce and Baby Blue and Tweeted, "It's cool. Just shopping next to Beyonce at Bergdorf, baby on her hip. No entourage. She winked at me, no shit." Now just over seven months old, Blue Ivy has grown a lot since the last time we spotted a glimpse of her on her parents' Tumblr. Anyone else think she looks just like her daddy, Jay-Z?
Happy Thursday, Bettys!

Last week's attack at the office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo reignites the debate on the role of religion in acts of terrorism.
Authorities found a live pipe bomb along a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. pipeline last month in Hinkley, California. The company informed its employees, but it never told town residents.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said it will conduct an internal investigation after a CIR report documented opiate overprescription and other issues at the Tomah VA hospital.
This week, California regulators ruled that farmers must restrict their use of chloropicrin, a toxic pesticide widely used to prepare soil for planting. The state's use of it increased 650 percent from 1991 to 2012.
Curious about your child's day care center? Search for detailed state records for facilities in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, in addition to the information already available for Santa Clara and Napa counties.
Politicians from both parties and government bureaucrats are rushing to look into allegations of overmedication, retaliatory management practices and preventable overdose deaths at a Wisconsin VA hospital, revealed by CIR.
The American satire publication The Onion has published its share of gag news stories criticizing fanatical Islamists. But the Charlie Hebdo gunmen likely would have had a tougher time carrying out a similar attack in the U.S.
Despite 11 complaints of excessive force against him during his decade with the Atlanta Police Department, former Officer Nicholas Dimauro easily became an armed security guard in Georgia.
More than 35,000 California state employees have gone over the official cap of 80 vacation days. The state owes those employees $447 million more than it would if they had been held to the cap.
An inspector general's audit, which concluded that there was no evidence that U.S. Customs and Border Protection's drones had improved border security, comes at a time when domestic law enforcement agencies are deepening their interest in the vehicles.

PSE STINGER (sold to best deal!)
Long story short I have suddenly aquired a PSE stinger from my brothers. The bow hasn't been used to hunt ever and was used as collateral for land ownership for 6 or so months. Basically it hasn't been used at all and is in very good condition from what I see and the people from cabellas have told me. The only reason I'm selling it is because its too big for me. It's minimum draw length is 26 and I'm only a 23 to 24. I don't know my terminology well at all but I tried tiger as much info as i possibly can.
So far I found out:
- it's a right handed bow (unless I'm insane)
- draw length minimum is 26, max is unknown, I think it started at 29 before they tried to fit it near my height.
- its weight itself is 4.8 pounds
- brace height is 6 inches or 23cm (according to what I looked up brace height is from the grip to the string)
- I think they said the let off should be around 75%
- no noticeable scratches or marks as it had never been used.
- length of entire bow is approximately 88cm ( around 35 inches) (from axel to axel)
- I can't post pictures up right now. But if you are interested pm me and I'll find a way to post some up
I am really sorry for probably posting all the specs up in weird and probably wrong ways. I don't really know terminology well
I'm trying to sell it for 350.00 (highest) as it hasnt been used and there is nothing wrong with it besides its too big. PM me please!!

This is what you get when you cross an apple pie with cheesecake — a combination with the best qualities of both. The glazed pecans enhance the cake tremendously, so don't leave them out!
To prepare Glazed Pecans: Preheat oven to 300°F. Line cookie pan with parchment paper or spray pan with vegetable pan spray. In medium bowl, stir together meringue powder, orange juice, granulated sugar and vanilla. Mix in pecans and stir until all pecans are coated well. Spread single-layer onto prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes until nuts are golden brown. Cool completely.
Make crust: Preheat oven to 300°F. In small bowl, combine crust ingredients. Press firmly into bottom of springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Fill a large deep pan with hot water and place on bottom oven rack. In large bowl, beat cream cheese, brown sugar and granulated sugar with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add flour; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Toss together the chopped apples and cinnamon. Fold into cheesecake batter. Pour over cooled crust. Place cheesecake in middle of oven. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes or until cheesecake is firm when gently shaken. Turn off oven; leave cheesecake in closed oven for 30 minutes to cool down slowly. Remove cheesecake from oven and cool 1 hour. Refrigerate covered at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, drizzle caramel topping over top. Top with Glazed Pecans.
Makes 12 servings.

|Summary: Oxygen GTK 3.x Theme Engine
Oxygen-Gtk3 is a port of the default KDE widget theme (Oxygen), to gtk 3.x. It's primary goal is to ensure visual consistency between gtk-based and qt-based applications running under KDE. A secondary objective is to also have a stand-alone nice looking gtk theme that would behave well on other Desktop Environments. Unlike other attempts made to port the KDE oxygen theme to gtk, this attempt does not depend on Qt (via some Qt to Gtk conversion engine), nor does render the widget appearance via hard coded pixmaps, which otherwise breaks everytime some setting is changed in KDE. This package contains the Oxygen gtk 3.x theme engine.

The teak shower stool was easy to assemble and provides a stable but luxurious platform for showering. It makes showering safer for disabled family members yet imparts a spa-like look to the shower. It feels more like luxury than necessity.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Terrific Shower Stool!
By Lenore
from Maple Ridge, BC, Canada
This is a wonderful shower stool. I have used shower stools for many years now and this is by far the best one I have tried. It's lovely sitting on teak wood instead of plastic!The height is okay for most people. I'm used to a higher stool which makes transferring easier for me. The description didn't mention whether or not the height was adjustable. The shower stools I've had before this have all been adjustable so that was my expectation of this one. This could be a problem if you are tall. The height is given as 16 1/2". When I measured it I found it was 16 1/8" (41cm).
Impressive product
By Bobcar
from Columbus, OH
Stability and utility are the the prime characteristics of this high quality product. Use in a standarad cubbyhole shower would be limited. However, with an adequate size shower, this provides the opporatunity for walk-in seated bathing without a walk-in tub arrangement.

Nice stool, but.....
By Debinowitz
from Corona, CA
I was thrilled when my shower stool finally arrived (long shipping time) I started to assemble it and ran into a bit of a problem, the inset holes in the wood where the legs are supposed to seat into were not lined up right, part of the hole being under the bracket that the bolts were supposed to go through! Good thing my husband has a machine shop and I was able to enlarge the insets in the wood so the legs could then sit in and the holes line up, and the bolts could go through. If I was unable to do this, I would have had to send it back, as it was, I was not real happy that a high end company selling an expensive stool would have this kind of problem. Oh, and the little screw that's supposed to hold up the swinging basket, was not included, but I was able to find one. I do like the stool, hopefully if you order one it won't have this issue. I would recommend it, but with a warning!

Attention Nutella fans: there's another chocolate-hazelnut spread you'll probably want to pick up on your next trip to the supermarket. No, it's not the Hershey's spreads, it's Nocciolata ($4.99) (pronounced "no-chee-oh-la-ta") from Rigoni Di Asiago.
The smooth and creamy spread gets bonus points for its ingredients (dark chocolate from the Antillean Islands, Italian hazelnuts, cane sugar, skim milk and bourbon vanilla extract) and for what it doesn't contain (palm oil, hydrogenated fat, and artificial flavors or colorings). It's also certified USDA organic, gluten-free, kosher, and contains no soy lecithin.
It tastes very similar to Nutella, with a well-balanced chocolate and toasted hazelnut flavor, but when it comes to texture, Nocciolata stands alone.
Compared to Nutella, Nocciolata is significantly more runny, which makes it more like a creamy, glossy sauce. When I opened the jar, it almost splashed out.
If you like your chocolate-hazelnut spread thick on a slice of bread, or sandwiched between two cookies you might want to stick with Nutella, but if you're inclined to dip fruit in it, drizzle it over ice cream, swirl it into cake or cookie batter, or smear a very thin layer on a crêpe, I think Nocciolata is the way to go. In these cases, its spreadability is an asset.
Given the choice between the two spreads, my thrifty side would push for Nutella (the cheaper option), but it's worth spending a little extra for superior ingredients (and elegant packaging), when it comes to indulgent treats.
Have you tried Nocciolata? Chime in with your thoughts in the comments.

"The cards look great and just as the file uploaded does on my moniter but the system to make cards online is set up for picking one photo and ordering 20 cards, ex: holiday cards. I am a photographer and sell photo cards and need to order different numbers of different photos in one order. It is very time consuming and each one has to go through the same many steps from upload to cart, rather than just a one click system to change the photo and add to cart. Add one to cart and then have to go back to step one, in "my projects". Can order 1 card each or 5 and up, not 2 or 3, huh? I needed 2 of 6 different photos for recent small order and had to order 2 separate orders of 1 each with separate shipping by having to re order the same thing, ONE BY ONE. Not cost effective for consumer or company!
With all the easy systems online for making books and cards, this one could be updated to appeal to more than just the person making holiday cards or invitations, etc."
"I have made and ordered tons of stuff from shutterfly and always been more than pleased with the results! All of my Christmas and greeting cards are personalized this way. I recommend shutterfly to all my family and friends and offer to get them started and show them how to make cards and photo books. I love your products and service. I probably need to go to SFA (shutterfly anonymous) meetings. I make a personalized calendar every year, for me and others. I make a photo book after every cruise or vacation. I make 100 page family photo books for all my family members every single year, and will as long as you guys are in business. And I make lots of greeting cards, labels and unique photo gifts, as well. Actually, you should probably hire me to be your PR representative!!! Keep up the good work. Oh, and I have also experienced you standing behind your work and replacing a photo book that had unexplained markings on a number of pages. Thanks for that!"
"This was the first time I have ever ordered a photo greeting card on Shutterfly. The card arrived quickly and in plenty of time to give to my Mom for Mothers Day. She just loved it!! Thank you Shutterfly."
"I received the cards well within the stated delivery period. The photo on the front and the card and envelope stock were of very high quality."
"Love the card stock, Love the finish. Thanks Shutterfly."
As one of the most highly anticipated seasons of the year, the summertime is not something you want to spend wasting away inside. Start planning your BBQs, family reunions and other outdoor events now. You don't need a reason to have a party. If you want to spend some time out in the sun to enjoy the weather with family, friends and loved ones, be sure to visit Shutterfly for custom summer invitations that you can create at a moment's notice.

WASHINGTON -- The Bureau of Engraving and Printing recently released an update on its progress toward changes to U.S. banknotes to make paper money more intelligible to blind and visually impaired individuals.
Of interest to the vending industry is BEP's announcement that the first redesigned bill will be a tactile feature to be the $10 note, which will begin circulating in 2020.
In addition to the raised tactile feature, the BEP said the $10 note would continue to include large, high-contrast numerals, similar to the $5 note issued in 2008 to help the visually impaired better denominate U.S. currency.
The National Automatic Merchandising Association recently met with the director and senior-level staff of the BEP to update them on the potential impact currency changes could have on vending.
"We commend the BEP on their efforts to work hand-in-hand with NAMA as they move forward with U.S. currency updates," said NAMA senior vice-president Eric Dell.

Legal Experts Debunk Right-Wing Media Accusations Of Labor Nominee's "Shady Quid Pro Quo"
Right-wing media continue their relentless campaign to undermine the Labor Secretary nomination of Thomas Perez [1], pushing the baseless claim that he acted unethically in his involvement with a withdrawn Supreme Court case that could have undone decades of civil rights precedent.
The Wall Street Journal and the National Review Online have been at the forefront [2] of allegations [3], most recently made by the WSJ [4] on May 6 [4], that Perez perpetuated a "shady quid pro quo [5]" with the City of St. Paul, Minnesota, because of his involvement in deliberations that resulted in a withdrawn Supreme Court case, Magner v. Gallagher, and the decision of the Department of Justice to not intervene in an unrelated False Claims Act lawsuit.
By holding a surprise hearing [6] for the "whistleblower" who initiated the False Claims Act case against St. Paul, Congressional Republicans have used the allegations that something "awfully suspicious [4]" occurred to push back Senate mark-up [7] of Perez's nomination until May 8. The "whistleblower," a small business owner named Frederick Newell, may have lost a sizeable sum of money he could have been awarded if DOJ had intervened. As explained by Mother Jones [8], "given all the hard work he put in, it's understandable he's ticked off at Perez. But the fact that Newell didn't get his money doesn't mean Perez did anything improper."
Indeed, it's unclear if Newell could have won even if DOJ had joined the case. DOJ's top expert on these sorts of claims, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Michael Hertz, determined the case was weak [9], reportedly deciding "this case sucks" and to not intervene. The Magner case at the other end of this "quid pro quo," however, was of far greater significance.
Because Magner had the potential [10] to present yet another opportunity for the conservative Justices to dismantle long-standing civil rights precedent, advocates ranging from civil rights attorneys to former Vice President Walter Mondale joined the DOJ in requesting St. Paul drop its appeal that had brought the case to the Supreme Court. In a recent op-ed for Politico, Wade Henderson, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, explained [11] the stakes:
As any lawyer knows, bad facts make bad law. This adage aptly applies to a fair housing case involving the city of St. Paul, Minn., that is now being unfairly used to tarnish the integrity of Tom Perez[.]
What made [Magner] so unusual was landlords' claim that by enforcing housing codes against them the city was committing a civil rights violation under the Fair Housing Act. Their argument was that bringing their buildings up to code would cost too much money, cause them to dispose of the properties and thus, affect the access of their minority tenants to housing. The district court dismissed the landlords' claims, but they prevailed on appeal.
This case represented a real threat to established civil rights laws that have protected millions of Americans from discrimination. It would be a real threat to the integrity of the Fair Housing Act if these landlords could use it to keep tenants in squalor.
St. Paul's mayor, Chris Coleman, was working with Perez on this issue and on an unrelated False Claims Act case against the city. The false claims case was relatively weak, and the Justice Department chose to dismiss it. During this same period, I was among the civil rights advocates who initiated conversations with the mayor to ask if he would withdraw the city's Supreme Court appeal in the landlords' case. Coleman's public interest background and commitment to preserving the Fair Housing Act made him uniquely sympathetic to our concerns. After due deliberation, the city dropped its Supreme Court appeal.
When Perez joined civil rights experts such as Henderson warning St. Paul about the dangers of their Supreme Court case while he simultaneously weighed avoiding the unrelated False Claims Act case against the city, he specifically sought counsel with experts as to the propriety of these interactions.
As detailed in a Democratic Staff memorandum [12] on the GOP-initiated investigation into this matter, to verify Hertz's damning assessment of the False Claims Act case, Perez consulted with top officials at DOJ and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development who concurred with the evaluation. To verify that declining to intervene in this weak case was ethical, regardless of whether or not St. Paul withdrew Magner, Perez consulted with DOJ professional responsibility and ethics officers who concluded that "there is no ethics rule implicated by this situation and therefore no prohibition against your proposed course of action [12]."
Accordingly, despite right-wing media's attacks on Perez, this alleged "quid pro quo" is nothing more than a unitary actor - the United States - permissibly making a decision on two separate issues in its best interests, as determined by its lawyers. Outside ethics experts agree.
From the May 6 statement [13] of top legal ethics expert Stephen Gillers, a New York University Professor of Law:
The [Republican-authored] Joint Staff Report argues that linking the two cases...was unethical. However, it cites no professional conduct rule, no court decision, no bar ethics opinion, and no secondary authority that supports this argument. In fact, no authority supports it.
Of course, it is legitimate to argue that Perez, [Assistant Attorney General Tony] West, and others made the wrong choice and that pursuing [the False Claims Act case] was more important to U.S. interests than how the Supreme Court would ultimately resolve the issue in Magner. I have no view on that question. It is not an ethical question. The question I can answer is whether Perez could ethically make the decision he did and which he encouraged others to accept. Could he ethically decide, when faced with a situation where only one of two possible choices could be made, and where each choice offered a benefit to his client, to choose option A over option B?
The answer is unequivocally yes. Perez was not choosing to advantage one client over another client. There was no conflict here between the interests of two clients because there was only one client. That client, we are assuming, had two interests - withdrawal of Magner or intervention in [the False Claims Act case] - but under the circumstances, it could pursue only one. Perez made a choice between these options and encouraged others to agree. His conduct violates no ethical rule that governs lawyers. He was acting in what he believed to be the best interests of his client, which is what lawyers are required to do.
