|An old fashioned chicken pot pie, made with a thick & creamy roux & veggies, encased in a flaky double crust.
Old-Fashioned Double-Crust Chicken Pot PieA couple of food bloggers here recently near about apologized for posting dishes that they had been having tastes for, but that some people might consider to be "off season." I don't even remember what it was now, but that doesn't matter. What struck me was that, well, if I have a taste for a certain dish, a craving if you will, I'm gonna make it, no matter the time of year! It's just silly I tell you, because frankly, down here in the Deep South, we have pretty much one season 90% of the time. Hot.
Such was the reason for me making a chicken pie - something that I suppose some folks would consider to be a dish more geared toward the latter part of the year. I still have plenty of chicken in the freezer and for several weeks now I have simply been craving a chicken pot pie! So I finally got around to making one, and I could care less whether it's August or not. Who cares! I had a taste for it, and that's all the reason I need to cook something.
Now unlike some folks, y'all know I don't have a thing against condensed soups. Heck, they are a Southern Staple in many casseroles, including in this southern cook's collection, and rightly so! They make a quick and easy sauce. But just like a banana pudding made with homemade custard versus one made with pudding, while both are good, you really can't beat the homemade custard, I don't care who ya are.
And that's what makes this chicken pie so darned good, a fresh roux, seasoned just right, and finished with some good chicken stock and half and half. {whispers} Sssshh.... don't tell nobody, but this recipe has actually beat out a few grandma recipes. When I don't make my own homemade pie crust - which frankly is pretty darned easy with a food processor - I also only use the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts - no generic in this kitchen - been there, done that. Unlike the generics, Pillsbury pie crusts are reliable, consistent and simply an excellent product, tender & flaky and instantly available. Speaking of pie crusts...
Have y'all seen these press/pat in the pan pie crusts? Well, I have to say that I did try those a couple times and no offense to those of you who love them, but that was about the worse possible excuse for a pie crust that I've ever seen. I suppose if you're just looking for something to hold your pie up it's okay, but to me, if a pie crust isn't tender and flaky, it ruins the whole recipe! You can take the extra step to make your own - if you're up to it, of course. It's really not hard I promise!
I adapted my recipe to use the chicken I had on hand, but of course this is best when you boil down a whole chicken, debone it and use the chicken and the stock off of that, but as written it's delicious and a bit speedier as well. Even still, this recipe does take a little bit of prep because you're essentially pre-cooking the filling, so I've tried to organize the recipe so that you can move along step by step, and hopefully that will help, but trust me. It is worth every single second. The flavor of this chicken pot pie is just spot on. Enjoy!
Recipe: Old-Fashioned Double-Crust Chicken Pot Pie©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 40 min | Yield: About 6 servings
- 1 pound cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts or mixed chicken (about 2-1/2 cups cubed)
- 3 medium red potatoes, unpeeled
- 1/2 cup frozen carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 6 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth or stock
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- About 8 turns the pepper grinder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
- 1-1/2 cups half and half
- 2 homemade pie crust, or 1 box Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened to room temperature
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Chop the potatoes into small cubes and place into a microwave safe dish. Cook on high for about 2-1/2 minutes or until tender. Set aside. In another microwave safe dish, add the carrots and peas; microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until tender. Add to the potatoes.
In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat; add the flour in a tablespoon at a time, stirring in before adding the next. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is bubbly and there are no remaining lumps, about 5 minutes. Slowly begin to incorporate the chicken stock, stirring vigorously until fully incorporated. Add in the seasonings and stir in well. Remove from the heat, add the salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme. Stir in the half and half until smooth.
Stir the chicken into the cream mixture, then add the potatoes, the carrots and peas; mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Unroll one of the pie crusts and place into a 9-inch, ungreased deep dish, glass pie plate. Gently press the crust down into the bottom and edges of the pie plate. Pour the hot filling into the crust and top with the remaining crust, tucking the top crust up under the edges of the bottom crust. Flute the edges and cut vents into the top of the crust.
Bake immediately at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Remove and place strips of foil around the edges of the crust to prevent overbrowning. Return to oven for an additional 15 to 25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
Cook's Notes: Okay to substitute leftover chicken or deli rotisserie chicken. Use a deep dish pie plate for this recipe. Make sure that the oven is preheated and at temperature before filling the pie crust, because you want to fill the pie, top it and put it into the oven immediately to bake. May also make into individual pot pies.
Variation: For beef pot pie, substitute cubed, cooked beef and beef broth. Prepare as above.
Biscuit Batter Topping: Prepare the filling as above, eliminate the pie crusts and make a batter using 1 cup of all-purpose flour, whisked together with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. Stir in 1 cup of milk, blend together and add 1/4 cup of butter that has been melted. Pour batter on top and bake at 400 degrees F for for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until crust browns.
Drop Biscuit Topping: Prepare the filling as above, eliminate the pie crusts and make a dough using 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, whisked together with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder. Stir in 1/2 cup milk, more or less, and add 1/4 cup butter that has been melted, stirring until a soft dough forms. Spoon in dollops on top of the filling and bake at 400 for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly and biscuits are lightly browned and cooked through.
Cornbread Topping: Prepare the filling as above, eliminate the pie crusts and make a batter whisking together 1 cup of all purpose cornmeal, 1 cup of all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add 1 cup of half and half or whole milk, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of melted and cooled butter and 2 large eggs. Pour batter on top and bake at 425 degrees F for for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until crust browns.
Mini Hand Pies: Use a small ramekin to cut out circles, approximately 4 inches in size. Let the filling cool before spooning several tablespoons of filling into each circle, folding over and sealing the edges. Cut vents into each pie and bake in a preheated 425 degree oven on a Silpat or parchment covered baking sheet, approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and filling is hot.
Bubble Up Pot Pie Casserole: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare filling as above. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Cut 12 refrigerated biscuits into quarters and scatter in pan. Pour filling all over biscuits, toss to make sure all are coated. Bake, uncovered, 40 to 45 minutes or until bubbly and puffy and biscuits are cooked through.

I admit, I haven't read the NYT article, but then again, I don't have time to read every anti-Russia tirade that comes down the pike. It's great sensationalism. But it's not usually balanced.
Russia's record on Lake Baikal is getting better:
They moved the proposed pipeline away from the region at the cost of years to the project and billions in dollars, but as then President Putin said, if you have a spill, you can't take it back. That type of forward thinking means you won't have a spill in Lake Baikal - as you did in the Gulf of Mexico.
What people don't understand about Russia - is when you have a problem, like piracy, you have to solve it, through law enforcement action.
This environmental group may not like an audit, but big deal. They are crying to the world 'evil Russia' because that is part of Russian society too - don't get your way - the threat is we are going to make these wild claims and try to embarass the country in front of the world.
So while you can muse about Russian authoritarianism - and its a subject to understand - also muse about Russian civil society - this isn't a country where everyone is a patriot and the only question is what is the best course for the country.
This is a country where everyone takes an extreme position - and tries to force their way. That isn't just the government, but includes this environmental group as well - all this talk of suppression, don't you believe it.

14 December 2011|
You may remember last year when PASMAG teamed up with Honda to bring you the Honda Remix Project. If you don't, well, please, remove the rock upon yourself because Honda's involvement in the evolution of tuner culture has been unparalleled. With that said, we are proud to announce that PASMAG has once again teamed up with Honda in 2012. Much like last year, Honda is allowing PASMAG to tune two cars, and our friends at IAC and Best Buy are excited to be able to work their magic on a 2012 Civic Si and a 2012 Accord.
This year's theme is all about value. What this means is that anyone can put in a reasonable amount of work and money and get high quality results without cutting corners and breaking the bank. With the help of Best Buy and the Geek Squad handling the audio and the boys at IAC taking care of everything else, these two cars are sure to impress.
In this article we take a look at a brand new Honda Civic Si.
The fuse holder is mounted a few inches from the battery and routed through a firewall grommet and into the cabin of the Civic. The other wire connected to the fuse will be routed and connected to the battery.
After the cable is run into the cabin, it's routed under the lower dash, centre console, carpet doorsill and back seat and fed through to the trunk. These wires will attach to the amp and sub.
From the head unit, the RCAs are fed along the kick panels from the side steering column and will eventually power the rear speakers.
First, the carpet shelf is removed to get to the factory speakers, which are then taken out. These speakers are replaced with the Kenwood FKC-1693PS speakers. The existing leads are then connected and mounted to the C-Pillar covers and reattached.
The amp and capacitor are mounted to the back of the rear seats. After prepping the 4-gauge power cable from the battery for capacitor connection using a ring connector, a ground connection is made using the same gauge cable and is connected to the cap. Running the corresponding power and ground cables, the amp is then connected to the RCA and remote cables. We can now connect the power at the battery.
To install the door speakers, the A-pillars are first removed to install tweeters. The factory leads are used and the tweeters are secured into place and pillar is reattached. This process is used for each door.
Next, the door panel is removed and the factory speaker is detached. Dynamat is used to insulate the speaker enclosure to prevent and control vibration. The new Kenwood KFC-P709PS speaker is rewired and screwed into place. The door panel is then replaced.
Once both doors are complete, we turn our attention to the trunk. The trunk floor and left and right liners are removed, followed by the spare tire. The trunk is then insulated with Dynamat to reduce trunk rattle and unwanted vibrations. The spare tire and trunk liners are reinstalled afterwards.
Next is the installation of two USB connectors. Using a uni-bit, a hole is drilled into the centre console trim for the USB placement. The wire is fed through the hole, and the USB is fastened into place by an adhesive and then screwed down for extra security. The wire is split from the 12V cigarette lighter and trim is snapped back into the centre console.
The rear USB is attached by drilling holes into the trunk frame and the connector is put in place by adhesive and screwed down tight. The wire is split to the trunk light power.
Next, the amp and sub are connected to the existing RCAs that were previously run through the centre console. When both are attached, the amp and capacitor are screwed to the back of the rear seat while the Alpine SBE-10PR Subwoofer relies on its weight and is adjustable for optimal bass power.
Finally, to install the new Kenwood DNX6180 GPS Navigation head unit, the factory head unit is removed by taking out console frame and unplugging it. The existing steering wheel column power is linked to the main power cord of the head unit and placed into the center console. Once the frame is snapped back into place, we have completed the audio install.
Now that we've completed this incredible audio upgrade, Honda Remix 2.0 continues as the Civic and its Accord counterpart travel to IAC for some body work. Stay tuned for more as Honda Remix 2.0 motors on.

Don't Age Yourself When Writing by Linda S. Glaz

- Heather Day Gilbert said...
Ha! Interesting post--I dig it. (Okay, that was before my generation, too). I guess this advice works in reverse, as well--if you're writing fiction from an OLDER generation's POV, you'd have to get in tune w/the terms they would think in.
I enjoy integrating popular terms into my conversations, which freaks my son out...but I like to stay young-at-heart! Someday I'll be that Grandma who plays video games and rides around on a hoverboard (I just know those are gonna replace cars someday...).
Fun post!

You are so right. I really get upset when someone has an "older" character saying, "Oh, dearie" or "Dear" all the time. And the person's in their early 60's or so. I don't talk that way and I keep waiting as I read to learn that the character is 90 or something. Please, please let your characters speak according to their actually socio-economic places as well. Folks in the UP are going to talk much diff than folks in and around large cities in Michigan. And so on in other areas of the country. Not just gender must be taken into account, but location as well. These little things make or break a good story! Thanks, Heather for the reminder of the situation in reverse.

It is also a good thing to be mindful of where there stories take place and where the characters come from. On a television show about a ranch, I heard one of the actors say something about dinner, meaning the evening meal. That seemed odd to me because my experience has been that the country folk where I grew up and the country folk 600 miles away where I live now use the term supper to refer to the evening meal and dinner refers to the noon meal, while the city folk use dinner for the evening meal and lunch for the noon meal.
Even the word Y'all is problemactic because while it is used throughout the south, it isn't used the same way in all places. And once you get as far north as Missouri, you aren't likely to hear it at all.
And while we're on the subject, religious jargon is different across denominations. To refer to a pastor as reverend, for example, is perfectly fine with some groups, but is considered unacceptable for others.

Such a timely reminder! When I started teaching at a local college I received a copy of the Beloit College Mindset List reminding professors of what the current college-age student does not know/remember/say. For example, What Berlin wall? Also, most of our students have never *rolled down* a window and they've always had bottled water. And Pete Rose has never played baseball.
Thanks for the reminder, Linda, that we can't live with our head in the sand.

Excellent post, Linda. This is the main reason I hold workshops in my daughters' schools and hang out at the mall. It's eye-opening to listen to how kids talk to each other and even adults these days. If I didn't put myself where kids are, my characters would probably sound off to today's kids.

It's a good idea to have critique partner of different ages.

- Terry Burns said...
It works the other way too. At a recent conference I listened to several youth editors addressing the do's and don't of writing for young people and they said one of the biggest dangers was trying to use 'the latest sayings.' They said things came into and went out of fashion too quickly and it dated the project. So, we can use things that are too old and date the work, but we can also use things that are too new and they can also date the work. Interesting line to have to walk.

What was "In" in Ohio when by children were teens, was not yet "In" in California when we visited relatives. So that makes it harder too.

Linda, although I'm tempted to tell you how groovy this post is, instead I'll tell you it's really cool. The funny thing is that other slang comes and goes, but "cool" remains cool. Neato is dusty history, but my teenage niece uses the same cool that I used decades ago. Interesting.
For my historical character from the 1940s, it was fun lacing his dialogue with swell old expressions that have gone out of date.
Thanks again!

'Sweet!' Another one that seems to have stood the test of time. :-)
I seem to receive a good many submissions from retired school teachers that have a heart for kids of all ages and want to write to that demographic. But most of them are written in old fashion terminology and I have had to pass. I appreciate their heart though.
Fun and relevant post Linda.
- April 30, 2012 at 4:15 PM
Not to make things more complicated but we have to consider more than what they say but how today's generation FEELS about things.
It seems, unfortunately, there's been a loss of innocence, a push for children to grow up faster & become more independent, and an astronomical increase in how technology advanced they are. My niece, for instance, made an amazing video about her family complete with music ... when she was six years old! I'm not even sure I could make a phone call when I was six.
So, how a child responds to things today will be significantly different than how they responded 30, 40, 50 years ago. When I was eleven, I was reading Nancy Drew; my eleven-year-old niece is reading The Hunger Games. Vastly different styles of writing!

I about fell out of my loveseat when I read an historical novel set in the 17th century where a character said, "Are you okay?" It was a major pub house, and I couldn't believe no one caught it!
Great post, Linda. Thanks for the tips.

You all made some wonderful points and all relevant to the writing today. Yes, Jeanette, I have writers who insist on certain expressions and if they can look up the origin for me, even if it sounds strange, I'll accept it, but so often they just don't know. You all made so many wonderful points, thanks for the input.

This is obviously necessary in some cases, but in other cases it is disadvantageous.
Consider an extended IO monad which handles automated closing of allocated resources. This is possible with a monad.
openDialog, openWindow :: String -> CleanIO () liftToCleanup :: IO a -> CleanIO a runAndCleanup :: CleanIO a -> IO a runAndCleanup $ do text <- liftToCleanup getLine if null text then openDialog "You refuse to enter something?" else openWindow ("You entered " ++ text)
I.e. if the dialog was opened, the dialog must be closed, but not the window. That is, the cleanup procedure depends on the outcomes of earlier actions.
Now consider the slightly different task, where functions shall register initialization routines that shall be run before the actual action takes place. (See the original discussion started by Michael T. Richter in Haskell-Cafe: Practical Haskell Question) This is impossible in the monadic framework.Consider the example above where the choice between
If you eliminate this dependency, you end up in an applicative functor and there you can do the initialization trick. You could write
initializeAndRun $ liftA2 (liftToInit getLine) (writeToWindow "You requested to open a window")
2 Usage
If you have the variables
f :: a -> b -> c a :: f a b :: f b
pure f <*> a <*> b liftA2 f a b
Consider the non-functorial expression:
x :: x g :: x -> y h :: y -> y -> z let y = g x in h y y
Very simple. Now we like to generalize this to
fx :: f x fg :: f (x -> y) fh :: f (y -> y -> z)
However, we note that
let fy = fg <*> fx in fh <*> fy <*> fy
This could be intended, but how can we achieve, that the effect is run only once and the result is used twice?Actually, using the
into a scope where we can talk exclusively about functor results and not about effects. Note that functor results can also be functions. This scope is simply a function, which contains the code that we used in the non-functorial setting.
liftA3 (\x g h -> let y = g x in h y y) fx fg fh
3 Some advantages of applicative functors
- Code that uses only on the interface are more general than ones uses theApplicativeinterface, because there are more applicative functors than monads. TheMonadis an applicative functor on lists, whereZipListis implemented byliftA2. It is a typical example of an applicative functor that is not a monad.zipWith
- Programming with has a more applicative/functional feel. Especially for newbies, it may encourage functional style even when programming with effects. Monad programming with do notation encourages a more sequential & imperative style.Applicative
4 How to switch from monads
- Start using ,liftM, etc orliftM2where you can, in place ofap/do.(>>=)
- When you notice you're only using those monad methods, then import and replaceControl.Applicativewithreturn,purewithliftM(or(<$>)orfmap),liftAwithliftM2, etc, andliftA2withap. If your function signature was(<*>), change toMonad m => ...(and maybe renameApplicative m => ...tomor whatever).f

September 2, 2010 was a memorable day for Emory patient Warren (Allen) Owens when he realized years of heart trauma were behind him.
Previously, Mr. Owens had experienced 8 heart attacks, had been diagnosed 21 times with congestive heart failure, had 13 stents placed, had 5 bypass surgeries ( (4 of them failed) and had taken 4 life flights (emergency helicopter rides to the hospital). On each life flight he was not expected to make it to the hospital because of his critical status.
Mr. Owens was referred to Emory after physicians at his local hospital were no longer able to help him with his life-threatening condition, an 8-cm aortic aneurysm that was at risk of rupturing. At Emory, patients with complex aortic aneurysms like Mr. Owens now have an option they did not have before – the fenestrated and branched endograft procedure that we discussed in a previous blog post. Now over a year later Mr. Owens is able to perform the daily tasks that he could not do before the surgery. He credits Emory physicians with "bringing him back to life."
"I can't put it into words how thankful I am that he was able to do what he did and bring me back to a semblance of my former life." – Warren Owens
Listen to Mr. Owens touching story by watching the video below.
About Joseph J. Ricotta II, MD:
Dr. Ricotta specializes in vascular and endovascular surgery, and came to Emory from the Mayo Clinic in August 2010. His areas of clinical interest include fenestrated and branched endografts to treat aortic aneurysms, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, peripheral aneurysms, PAD, carotid endarterectomy and carotid stenting, mesenteric and renal artery disease, and venous diseases. He has authored several journal articles and book chapters on the topic of fenestrated and branched endografts, and holds organizational leadership memberships at the American Medical Association, the American College of Surgeons, the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery and the Society for Vascular Surgery.

There are several varieties in the circulation strike Jefferson Nickel series. Most of them are re-punched mint marks or over mint marks. The 1955-D over S mint mark is considered scarce in all grades. Therefore, any example is quite a find. There are several 1950-D over S mint mark Jefferson Nickel varieties known but FS-034 or OMM-001 is the most popular of all and the one that commands higher prices. The top serif of the S mint mark can be seen underneath the top of the D mint mark for this variety and it is very prominent and easily visible with the naked eye.

no reason to wear one in my opinion unless you are trying to cross the ocean
just don't be stupid about how far you go away from the shore and you will be fine. when you crash the kite pulls you up. even if you crash the kite, unless the wind completely dies it will be pulling you a bit and you dont have to swim at all.
i have had to self rescue or just swim in several times when i had a less reliable kite and i have never seen a circumstance when a lifejacket would have been useful to me, except to get in the way of riding and spinning
that said, if i was doing a crossing or riding a long distance from the beach for an extended period of time it would be stupid not to wear one, but i don't have a thing for throwing tricks in the middle of the ocean so it's not an issue for me.

All News Releases By Date
Additional Maine Communities Protect Coastal Waters / "No Discharge Area" will end boat sewage in Camden, Rockport, Rockland, and portions of Owls Head
Release Date: 02/05/2010
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – Feb. 5, 2010) – The Maine coastal communities of Camden, Rockport, Rockland, and portions of Owls Head have joined several other Maine coastal towns by protecting their coastal water quality with a "No Discharge Area" designation.
This status prohibits the discharge of treated and untreated boat sewage in these areas. Boat sewage can lead to health problems for swimmers, closed shellfish beds, and the overall degradation of marine habitats. The additional Maine areas designated as "no discharge" increases the significant portions of New England waters that prohibit boat sewage in coastal waters.
EPA approved a request by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (ME DEP) to make the designation with a publication today in the Federal Register. EPA's decision is based on the availability of sufficient pumpout facilities to the boating public in this area. There are six pumpout facilities in this area, and an estimated 1151 boats, approximately 813 of which are large enough to have a "head" or toilet on board. EPA worked closely with state and local officials, and conducted site visits to the area to determine that the six facilities were sufficient to meet the needs of the local boating public.
"A clean environment is one of the bedrock foundations for vibrant, healthy and prosperous communities," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England Office. "Clean coastal water means more days when people can enjoy the beach in the summer, healthy shellfisheries and a resilient tourist economy."
"The quality of our waters is a huge asset to the State," said Maine DEP Commissioner David Littell. "The new no discharge designation will only increase economic opportunities for area fisherman who rely on clean waters for healthy fisheries."
Other coastal waters designated in New England designated as No Discharge Areas include:
- All state marine waters of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire;
- In Maine: Boothbay Harbor and Casco Bay, marine waters of Mount Desert, Southwest Harbor, Cranberry Isles and portions of Tremont; coastal waters of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Wells
- In Massachusetts: Harwich, Waquoit Bay, Nantucket Harbor, Wellfleet, Barnstable, and Buzzards Bay (including Wareham and Westport), Plymouth/Duxbury/Kingston, Scituate/Marshfield/Cohasset, Salem Sound, Boston Harbor, Cape Cod Bay and Revere/Saugus/Lynn/Nahant/Swampscott;

Despite Apple's insistence that we replace our iDevices every year, they do tend to have lasting value. My girlfriend has a first gen iPad, and while it stutters some with the newest update, it can still run every app she throws at it and it still gets 10 or so hours of uptime per charge.
Looking further back, as late as 2010 my portable was a 2000 era PowerBook G3 Pismo that I had upgraded several times. I wasn't going to do any video editing or modern gaming on it but it was more than enough for my modest portable computing needs. I only sold it to get a lighter, "faster" netbook that turned out to be a turd performance-wise, even compared to the ancient G3. I lost out on battery life, GUI smoothness and the better workflow that OS X provided. I even lost screen real estate; the netbook was only 1024x600 compared to the 1024x768 G3. And at the time, it was one of the nicer netbooks available; the only ones better were the ION based units that cost more than a good 13 inch laptop.
Would I buy another new Mac today? Hell no! Not only are they overpriced, I'm dead set against giving Apple any more money. But if the opportunity comes along to pick up a nice PowerBook or pre-unibody MBP at a decent price I might consider it. Between OS X Leopard and GNU/Linux, a five year old Apple laptop can still be a very powerful machine.
No, I have a feeling that this is one area where Apple will focus on that lasting value and use it as a selling point. Because they know that the competition will only need a year or so to start matching features, Apple can build a machine that is as upgradeable software-wise as their computers to stay ahead of the game. They can pull this off if they do it right.
I just won't be buying one myself.

Give the pot a good scrubbing and rinse. You need to wash off the oil they use to form the pot. Fill it up with more water than you plan to normally boil for a batch of beer. Bring it to a boil for about 1 hour or so. I have a 10 gallon Winware pot that I filled with 9+ gallons. I boiled it for about an hour or so. The pot will turn a bronzy color where ever the water touches it. This is the protective oxide that you need to protect the pot for future use. Don't use oil... just boil water in it.

Author Notes: My husband likes mentaiko (salted roe) on his rice, with pickles, and an ONSEN TAMAGO (Hot Springs Poached Egg). Over the years we started a toast version. Onsen Tamago are made by lowering eggs in bamboo baskets into the Hot Springs waters which very slowly poach the eggs. If you have the Momofuku Cookbook by David Chang and Peter Meehan, look for the Slow-Poached Eggs recipe. Their version is very close to the real thing. The photo is a real Onsen Tamago with mentaiko (spicy version of tarako) on the Japanese favorite toast--extremely thick, toasted so crusty on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. I prefer a firmer, healthier bread, but be sure to cut it thick. —BoulderGalinTokyo
Makes: 1 x as many as you want
1/2 sac Mentaiko or Tarako salted roe, or 1/3 sac Bottagra
tablespoons cucumber, minced
tablespoons onion, minced
thick slice bread, (twice the thickness of a sandwich bread slice)
extremely fresh egg
- Remove the mentaiko sac-skin. Put it on the side if you want to eat it, or else throw it away. Put half the mentaiko into a small bowl. Add the onion and cucumber. Mix together. If using Bottagra, use a microplane grater to separate the eggs or If chopping with a knife, mince very finely. Add 2/3 of Bottagra to the cucmbers and onions.
- Toast the bread, slightly darker than medium.
- Poach the egg. Learn from Amanda (and many other great tips too): http://food52.com/blog/3180_perfect_poached_eggs
- Place the hot toast on a plate and spread the cucumber onion mixture on the bread. If eating the mentaiko sac, put in the center. Place poached egg on the toast trying not to break the yolk (but if it breaks on the toast -not a disaster). Add the leftover mentaiko around the egg. Or sprinkle the remaining 1/3 of Bottagra over the egg.
- My cooking is low sodium-- we find the mentaiko is salty enough for us. If you need more, add a drop or two of soy sauce (not a drizzle).
- NOTES: I always use the raw onion because I like it, but spring onions or scallions are fine too. You can replace the cucumber with (non-vinegary) radish, turnip, or cucumber pickles.

Freshman forward Alexander Faulk scored his first collegiate goal in the second half to give the Bisons the win. Miguel DaSilva added the assist. At 82:43 of the second period DaSilva dribbled across the end line and then passed the ball to Faulk who was about six yards out in front of Belmont's goalkeeper.
"Miguel did a lot of the work to set the goal up," said Bisons coach Charles Morrow. "Miguel was on the right side and beat his guy around the corner and dribbled to the front post. He got it to Faulk and beat the goalkeeper low to the left. "
DaSilva, who set a new assists record last season, is always involved in the offense in some way. Morrow admits it was somewhat surprising that Faulk would score the only goal of the game.
"Faulk is scrappy," said Morrow. "He is all about effort. He is very opportunistic. He puts himself in good places most of the time.
"He had a knack for scoring goals in club game. He came in late in the first half and gave us a good effort pressuring the ball as well."
Goalkeeper Brent McGee earned the shutout. Oral Roberts was credited with 10 shots, but only two shots on goal.
"Our backs played well." said Morrow. "We didn't let them get behind us too much.
"Brent played well. It was great to get the shutout.
The Bisons also had 10 shots, with three shots on goal. Andrew Chamberlain led the Bisons with three shots, including one shot on goal. Garrett McLaughlin attempted two shots, one shot on goal.
"Our guys were more prepared for this game than they were for Berry," said Morrow.
The Bisons, 1-0-1 will play Marshall Sunday at 1 at Belmont in the final round of the tournament.
"Marshal is a big, physical, athletic team," said Morrow. "I'm expecting a good game."

One step forward and two steps back.
Tysabri has its PML complication, now it looks like cladribine and fingolimod have a big problem with herpes.
We just can't win can we?
Welcome to the world's leading forum on Multiple Sclerosis research, support, and knowledge. For over 10 years, This is MS has provided an unbiased community dedicated to Multiple Sclerosis patients, caregivers, and affected loved ones.
two patients receiving the higher fingolimod dose died of herpes zoster infections, disseminated in one case and causing encephalopathy in the other. Increased rates of herpes zoster infections were also seen in the other fingolimod trial and with cladribine
Varicella zoster virus can become latent in the nerve cell bodies and less frequently in non-neuronal satellite cells of dorsal root, cranial nerve or autonomic ganglion, without causing any symptoms. Years or decades after a chickenpox infection, the virus may break out of nerve cell bodies and travel down nerve axons to cause viral infection of the skin in the region of the nerve. The virus may spread from one or more ganglia along nerves of an affected segment and infect the corresponding dermatome (an area of skin supplied by one spinal nerve) causing a painful rash. Although the rash usually heals within two to four weeks, some sufferers experience residual nerve pain for months or years, a condition called postherpetic neuralgia. Exactly how the virus remains latent in the body, and subsequently re-activates is not understood.
Throughout the world the incidence rate of herpes zoster every year ranges from 1.2 to 3.4 cases per 1,000 healthy individuals, increasing to 3.9–11.8 per year per 1,000 individuals among those older than 65 years.
Greenfields wrote:Explain latent herpes?
From Wikipedia:
Herpes zoster (or simply zoster), commonly known as shingles and also known as zona, is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters in a limited area on one side of the body, often in a stripe. The initial infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes the acute (short-lived) illness chickenpox, and generally occurs in children and young people. Once an episode of chickenpox has resolved, the virus is not eliminated from the body but can go on to cause shingles—an illness with very different symptoms—often many years after the initial infection.
Macular edema had been seen with fingolimod in previous transplantation trials, and there were 4 cases of suspected macular edema in this trial (1 since the month-24 analysis). However, the diagnosis was not confirmed by external review of retinal specialists. There was some elevation of hepatic enzymes, but as had been seen with other adverse events, the frequency declined over time, Dr. Comi noted.
"All of these data taken together continue to suggest that the drug is active; second, the frequency of adverse effects tends to decrease with continuation of the treatment, and there was no evidence of any new adverse effects except some reports of skin malignancies," he said.
Seven cases of skin malignancies were observed during the extension trial: 3 basal-cell carcinomas, 2 squamous-cell carcinomas, and 2 melanomas. All were in situ, and all have been treated without other complications, he said.

The "Family History through the Alphabet" challenge, as set out by Gould Genealogy
I have wanted to join this challenge for a while now, though illness has prevented me from participation so far. As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew what I wanted to do – NAMES; the meaning of the names of my ancestors, those names that are carried through the generations, and the names of those ancestors who are special to me.
So for my first attempt – A is for Agnes
Agnes is a female given name, which derives from the Greek name Ἁγνὴ hagnē, meaning "pure" or "holy". The Latinized form of the Greek name is Hagnes, the feminine form of Αγνός Hagnos, meaning "chaste" or "sacred". The name passed to Italian as Agnese, to Portuguese as Inês, and to Spanish, as Inés.
It was the name of a popular Christian saint, Saint Agnes of Rome, a fact which encouraged the wide use of the name. Agnes was the third most popular name for women in the English speaking world for more than 400 years. Its medieval pronunciation was "Annis," and its usage and many of its forms coincided with the equally popular English name Anne, a name related in medieval and Elizabethan times to 'Agnes', though Anne/Ann/Anna are derived from the Hebrew Hannah ('God favoured me') rather than the Greek.
The true Scottish version of Agnes is Segna, which comes from a Scottish custom of spelling a name backwards
Source: Wikipedia
Agnes is a name carried through many, many generations of my paternal Scottish line. The last woman to carry this given name was my Great Grandmother, Agnes Jane. Though her father was English, the tradition had been carried on from her mother's Scottish heritage. There are a few recent usages of Agnes as a second name in my family, but I am not taking that usage into account, as in Anne Agnes, my 8x Great Grandmother or my second cousin, Janet Agnes.
Though not a traditional Celtic name, my database has at least 18 women named Agnes – all from Scotland, with earliest known birth date of 1705. In one sense, the keeping of the tradition in naming patterns has helped enormously with following the Scottish family lines.
Agnes Jane (1860-1933) was an amazingly strong woman; losing her husband and two children to diphtheria in 1895 which was discussed in my post "The Death of William Smith : A Pitiful Story", raising the remaining 5 (or possibly 6 as I am currently investigating whether she was pregnant on her husband's death) children alone – unusually, she did not remarry; Watching her adult daughter, her daughter-in-law, her sister-in-law, and three grandchildren die before her, while raising many of these orphaned grandchildren (which included my father and his siblings) as well. It was a tough life in the New England Tablelands of NSW, and I really wish I could have known this strong Great Grandmother of mine.

June, 1997
Some of my pregnant patients suffer from severe morning sickness. I am hesitant to prescribe them an antiemetic due to fetal safety. What is the right approach here?
Considering the negative consequences of HG (hyperemesis
gravidarum) including therapeutic abortions, low birth weight and
psychiatric morbidity, the treatment of morning sickness or the
prevention of HG should be addressed seriously.
Consequently, women with morning sickness unresponsive to non-pharmacological agents should be prescribed an antiemetic drug. In Canada, Diclectin (Doxylamine/Vitamin B6) is the only drug approved by Health Canada for this indication.
It's recommended dosage for nausea or vomiting which occurs during the day is 2 tablets at bedtime, 1 tablet in the morning and one tablet in midafternoon. If the symptoms emerge only in the morning, 2 tablets at bedtime should be sufficient.
Paolo Mazzotta, Laura Magee, Gideon Koren
Morning sickness afflicts as many as fifty percent of pregnant women, commonly during the first trimester.1 While in their mild forms the nausea and vomiting (NVP) adversely affect the quality of life of the pregnant woman and her family, severe cases (hyperemesis gravidarum) can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance which often necessitate hospitalization and may be life threatening if not treated promptly.2 Hyperemesis gravidarum has been associated with increased risk of fetal loss and smaller birth weight.2
During the last few years we have become aware of sporadic cases of women reported to have terminated otherwise wanted pregnancies due to severe forms of morning sickness. The objectives of the present study were to establish whether severe forms of morning sickness are indeed a cause for therapeutic abortion and to characterize this pattern of events.
After approval by our hospital's Research Ethics Board we advertised in newspapers, women's and family magazines and the electronic media in Canada and the US, an invitation for women to report their range of experiences with morning sickness. A structured questionnaire was used to cover various clinical aspects of the nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, therapies used, impact on the family and quality of life. Cases of therapeutic abortions were matched by gravity to women who considered termination but eventually continued the pregnancy, as well as to the next caller. The three groups were compared in several characteristics by non parametric methods.
Case 1:
A 30 year old G3 married university student suffered from severe NVP during this planned pregnancy. Nausea occurred every 30 min. and she vomited on average 15 times a day. Her physician did not recommend any medication to her as he/she believed none of the antiemetics were safe. She lost 12 kg of body weight and lost her consciousness 3 times. She required hospitalization on 3 occasions during the first 3 months of her pregnancy. She lost 4 months of University studies and her husband needed to take time off his work to care for their child. Eventually she decided to terminate the pregnancy despite wanting very much to have another child.
Case 2:
A 34 year old married G3 court clerk had 3 abortions due to NVP inducing a seizure disorder. Typically she would lose 5-7 kg during the first 3 months of her pregnancy. She was on diclectin (Doxylamine and Vitamin B6) and Stemetil (Prochlorperazine) but neither had any effect. She lost 1 month of work and her seizure disorder was poorly controlled due to her vomiting which occurred 20-30 times a day. Abortion occurred in all cases due to her poor physical and neurological condition.
In a 2 month period, 1100 women were interviewed by us as to their experience related to morning sickness. Of those, 17 reported to have terminated an otherwise wanted pregnancy due to severe forms of morning sickness. In none of these cases were other causes for termination of pregnancy identified (socioeconomic or medical) except for one case (Case 2) where the hyperemesis worsened a medical problem. In none of these was the pregnancy terminated due to life threatening complications of NVP. An additional 42 women reported to have considered termination of pregnancy as a means of discontinuing their severe symptoms.
Women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) who eventually
terminated pregnancy had a mean of 9.3 ± 6.5 episodes of vomiting per
day, lost on average 5.9 ± 3.8 kg of body weight and 20 ± 21 days of
work. The women with HG who considered termination but eventually
continued with their pregnancies had a significantly larger weight loss
than either those who terminated or the control group. Their children
were of significantly smaller birth weight than the controls (2942 ±
592 vs 3737 ± 337 g, P=0.0025), (Table 1).
|Women who had TA
|Women who intended but did not terminate
|Controls (next caller)
|Length of NVP (months)
|No. of vomiting/day

|**8.3±2.2*** (2-25)
|5.4***±4.9 (1-12)
|Loss of work (days)
|Quit work (no.)
|Birth weight (g)
Only 4 of the women who terminated the pregnancy (23%) reported day to day support by their spouses/ partners in carrying out home and family chores during the HG, compared to 60% among those who eventually did not terminate (p < 0.05). Of those who terminated and were offered antiemetics, dimenhydrinate (Gravol) was the most widely used (n=9); despite being used as recommended by the package, it had a partial effect in only 2 cases and stemetil in 1 case. Diclectin (Doxylamine and Vitamin B6) was used in 2 cases, and in only one of them in a potentially effective dose. All women with severe manifestations of HG reported unique and quite homogeneous psychological symptomatology (Table 2), including symptoms of depression, isolation, hopelessness and fear. Commonly, women felt that the NVP was not taken seriously enough by their spouses and physicians alike.
Table 2: Characteristic Behavioral Symptomatology In Women who Terminated or Considered Termination of Pregnancy due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
-Lack of energy and initiative
-Feelings of being neglected by husband/boyfriend
-Feelings that NVP is not taken seriously by treating physicians
-Physicians and family members believing the NVP is due to rejection of the baby
-Adverse effects on family's relationships - breakups
-Fears of severe morbidity and death
Reported Long-Term Effect of the Hyperemesis:
Decision not to have another child
Family breakage due to the strained relationship during pregnancy
Severe forms of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy have been associated with a variety of maternal and fetal risks.2
Hyperemesis gravidarum is defined as vomiting that occurs for the first
time before the 20th week of gestation and is of sufficient severity to
cause weight loss, fluid electrolyte and acid-base imbalances.3 While maternal mortality is extremely rare in developed countries, morbidity secondary to severe dehydration does occur.2 The risk of prematurity, smaller birth weight and CNS malformations is higher than in unaffected pregnancies.2 Therapeutic abortions due to substantial maternal morbidity and suffering have rarely been reported4 thus creating a false impression that this is not a likely consequence of hyperemesis gravidarum.
Older literature has suggested that hyperemesis gravidarum may reflect a conscious or subconscious rejection of the pregnancy.5 This view is not supported by evidence, and is utterly rejected by our present study showing women ready to endure immense suffering before giving up a wanted pregnancy. Our study confirms previous reports of lower birth weight in newborns of women suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum.2 Our controlled comparison confirms that women who consider termination of an otherwise wanted pregnancy experienced worse symptomatology than their matched controls; despite similar numbers of vomiting per day, they have lost significantly more weight and have had children of significantly lower birth weight.
Our study depicts a grim picture of the medical management of this condition. Many women were not offered antiemetics due to ignorance of medical staff believing that common antiemetics are teratogenic, or due to their own fears of such effect. Today there is in Canada a safe medication, Diclectin, approved by Health Canada and indicated in the CPS for morning sickness. Our study suggests that women who terminate their pregnancy differ from those who eventually continue pregnancy to term by having less support from their husbands or partners and tending to use less hospital services. These trends are of apparent importance when one considers the severe behavioral morbidity encountered in these women (Table 2). Our data concur with previous studies showing depressed symptomatology of depression isolation and a sense of helplessness.6 In 1972 Farkas and Farkas stated their belief that "hyperemesis gravidarum represents a protest reaction against pregnancy, as a result of psychical conflicts, especially from family and home environment".7 This view is utterly rejected by the evidence collected in the present study. Beyond being unfounded scientifically, this view represents an appalling assault on women's behavior during one of the worst periods of their lives. Several women reported in our study that either their physicians or husbands/ partners implied directly or indirectly that their hyperemesis is a controlled behavior reflecting rejection of the pregnancy. This indicates that the theory advanced by Farkas is still widely thought to appropriately describe this condition. The unique behavioral syndrome associated with NVP may either be secondary to the physical condition, or alternatively may be a primary response to hormonal changes.2 Clearly, management of the NVP and correction of the fluid and electrolyte imbalances must be accompanied by addressing the psychiatric morbidity if one wishes to prevent unnecessary therapeutic abortions.

Extreme Pattern Mixing: Taking Cues from the Runway
One of my favorite fashion trends this season has been intense creativity with pattern mixing. Labels like Mary Katrantzou, Suno, and Preen have sent a combination of polka dots, florals, animal print, and abstract geometrics down the runway-often in the same garment! These courageous combos have got me thinking about how to infuse my space with similarly unexpected pattern blends.
We all know that a healthy dose of pattern adds personality, style, and flair to a space, but too much can make a room seem busy and cluttered. Bold mixing may not be for the faint of heart, but when done properly, it can create a whimsical, punchy, and interesting room. To a certain extent, the mixing comes down to a gut feeling, but here are some basic guidelines to consider when devising your own combinations:
1. Mix different scales and types of patterns. For a simple combination, choose one large-scale pattern, a medium-scaled pattern of a different sort, and a third pattern with an even smaller scale. You can see this principle at work in the fourth image with the large floral pattern of the rug, the smaller-scale ikat scattered throughout the room, and the even smaller diamond print on the walls.
2. Use complementary colors of the same intensity. Your room doesn't have to be monochromatic, but it's best to keep colors in the same tonal family to maintain cohesiveness. In the fifth image, you can see how corals and pinks, all of a similar warmth and intensity, recur throughout the room and bind together a diversity of prints.
3. Put the visual weight on areas where you want the eye to travel. Sarah and Chad's space works so well because the pattern is denser near the floor, anchoring the room, and it lightens as the eye travels up, opening up the space. If a dense pattern dominates one side the room, then the eye is drawn disproportionately to that area. Additionally, be sure to balance the patterns throughout the room, since dispersing them makes the space feel more integrated.
4. For those reluctant to use bright colors, bold pattern mixing is still an option. The room in the final image is composed primarily of neutral colors, but it still makes use of a diversity of patterns that give the room visual interest. For subtler mixing, also consider the power of texture as a stand-in for pattern. Take the Dolce and Gabbana outfit in the second image: the overcoat is monochromatic, but its textural aspect gives it the appearance of pattern, which subtly plays off of the neighboring floral print.

TRIPOLI, Libya, July 10 (UPI) -- Libya's oil production has reportedly slipped by about 30 percent from the pre-civil war peak of 1.6 million barrels per day because of a nationwide security collapse and an electricity shortage largely caused by lawlessness.
Officials of the state-owned National Oil Co. said output is currently pegged at around 1.16 million bpd, and production cuts are costing the troubled North African state about $50 million a day -- and could drive off longtime customers.
"The situation's now very dangerous," warned Naji Mokhtar, who heads the energy committee in the General National Congress, Libya's legislative authority.
Regional authorities say Libya, particularly the vast ungoverned Sahara in the south, has become a major stronghold of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the leading jihadist force in the region. One of its wings was responsible for the January attack on the In Amenas gas complex in southeastern Algeria in which 37 foreign technicians, along with most of the 40 attackers, were killed in a battle with Algerian Special Forces.
Much of the violence is centered on the eastern capital of Benghazi, a longtime jihadist bastion and cradle of the 2011 uprising against dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
The violence increasingly is spreading to Tripoli, Libya's capital, where rival militia brigades attack government and oil industry facilities.
The NOC disclosed production fell below 1 million bpd in late June because of a wave of shutdowns brought about by constant disruptions by armed militias or protesting workers demanding higher pay and improved work conditions.
Oil Minister Abdelbari Arusi estimates the shutdowns at oil fields, export terminals and refineries have cost the country $1 billion in lost revenues as the government struggles in vain to impose its authority over armed groups in a country awash with weapons from the 2011 war.
All this marks a major downturn since mid-2012, when -- less than a year after Gadhafi was toppled in a NATO-backed revolution -- oil production had been cranked up to around 1.5 million bpd.
That was a major achievement for the Libyans, since the energy sector had been pretty much closed down during eight months of fighting before Gadhafi was brought down and killed.
The energy sector constitutes more than 70 percent of Libya's and provides around 95 percent of its revenues.
Libya sits on proven oil reserves of 47 billion barrels of high-quality crude, the largest in Africa.
A new round of exploration, scheduled before the war erupted in February 2011, could add another 10 billion barrels, but the lawlessness has resulted in major international companies such as BP calling off such plans.
A series of attacks and protest sieges has swept the energy industry in recent weeks. Protesters forced the closure of the Zueitina oil terminal in eastern Libya in May, the fourth shutdown since November 2012.
Export terminals at Tobruk and Ras Lanuf have also been affected.
The El Fil oil field in the southwest -- a joint venture between Libya's NOC and Eni of Italy, the biggest producer in the country -- was paralyzed in late May and again in June by armed protesters. The field, Eni's largest in Libya, produces around 120,000 bpd.
The Gialo field in central Libya was shut down for 17 days by protestors, many of them ex-militiamen, demanding jobs in the oil sector as a reward for bringing down Gadhafi.
Arusi said the shutdown caused the loss of 120,000 barrels of oil a day. It said the closure -- like similar forced closures -- was politically motivated to force the Tripoli government to make concessions to tribal or militia groups demanding jobs and money.
The Sharara oil field in southwestern Libya was shut down in June when an armed group objected to another group being hired to help supervise security.
Sharara, which can pump 350,000 bpd, is operated by Akakus Oil, a joint venture between Libya's NOC and Repsol of Spain.
The electricity problem has taken its toll as well. The Arabian Gulf Oil Co. has not been able to replace power generation equipment for its Sarir and Misla fields in eastern Libya for 15 months.
Output is expected to drop from 380,000 bpd to around 300,000 bpd, a loss of $8 million a day.
The government has brought in a contractor based in London to provide 450 megawatts of electricity using mobile generators, but it's not likely to be enough to solve the problem.

In this article
The important thing is to make sure that the exercise or activity that you do is fairly easy-going, and doesn't involve the potential for any jolts or falls.
Which type of exercise is best in pregnancy?It's safe to continue with most types of exercise, if you're used to doing them. However, you should talk to your doctor, midwife or exercise instructor beforehand, just to make sure.
Aerobic exercise, such as swimming, brisk walking and aquanatal classes, are ideal (Nascimento et al 2012). You can also do some types of muscle-strengthening exercises, such as pregnancy yoga and pilates. Make sure that your instructor is qualified and experienced in teaching pregnant women.
Exercise doesn't have to be formal to count. Regularly walking to work, taking the stairs instead of the lift, and doing gardening and housework, all add up. Try to be active on most days of the week, if not every day, for at least 30 minutes a day (Wright 2010, NHS 2013).
Find out how active you should be in pregnancy on Tommy's website.
Which sports should I avoid in pregnancy?In pregnancy, the hormone relaxin softens the tough tissues (ligaments) that connect your bones. It also loosens your pelvic joints, ready for your baby's birth. So even if you're usually quite supple, you will be more prone to sprains and other injuries, now you're pregnant (Artal et al 2003, RCOG 2006).
Because your joints are looser in pregnancy, it's best not to do any activity that could make you slip or fall.
Sports that carry a risk of you losing your balance, such as horse riding, skiing and mountain climbing, carry too high a risk of injury to your tummy (RCOG 2006). Contact sports, such as football and basketball, and racket sports, can also be tough on your knees and ankles (Artal et al 2003, Davies et al 2003), so are best avoided.
Should I have a check-up before starting to exercise?If you have always been active, you should be able to carry on with your usual exercises, with a few modifications, as long as you have no pregnancy complications. But if you're not sure which exercise is right for you, ask your midwife or doctor for advice. If you haven't exercised much before now, they can give you tips for getting started.
If you weren't active before you became pregnant, it's best not to suddenly take up strenuous exercise. If you want to start an exercise programme such as running, swimming, cycling, walking or aerobics, tell your instructor that you're pregnant. Start with 15 minutes of continuous exercise, three times a week, and increase this gradually to at least four, 30-minute sessions a week (NHS 2013).
What should I wear when exercising in pregnancy?Wear layers of light clothes that are easy to remove (Lynch et al 2003, Soultanakis-Aligianni 2003). Try not to overheat while you exercise, especially in the first trimester. Make sure your maternity bra is comfortable, supportive and fits well. You may find that a standard sports bra suits you better when you exercise.
Wear trainers that fit your feet properly to support your ligaments and tendons. If your shoe size has changed because of mild swelling, find a more comfortable pair.
What are the top tips on exercise in pregnancy?Get in the habit
If you're committed to keeping fit, exercise at least four or five times a week, for at least 30 minutes at a time (Hegaard et al 2007, NHS 2013). Building up a regular exercise programme means you'll get the most benefit from it, and can better protect yourself against injury.
Warm up before exercising
This will get your muscles and joints ready for activity and help build your heart rate slowly (Nascimento et al 2012, NHS 2013). If you skip the warm-up and jump around before your body is ready, you may injure yourself (Fradkin et al 2006).
Keep moving
Standing still for long stretches can decrease the flow of blood to your uterus (womb), and cause blood to pool in your legs. This can make you feel dizzy (Schneider et al 2005) or faint. Some yoga and dance positions involve being still. So if you feel uncomfortable, change positions, or walk on the spot.
Don't exercise lying flat on your back after 16 weeks of pregnancy
Besides being uncomfortable, this position may cause dizziness. It puts your uterus on top of the vena cava, a major blood vessel, and this may reduce blood flow to your growing baby, and your brain (Scott and Kerr 2005, RCOG 2006). Prop yourself up on your elbows instead, or lie on your side.
Take care with awkward positions
You'll need to be careful with the following positions, as they may cause ligament strain and pain in and around your pelvis:
- sit-ups
- standing on one leg
- moving your legs too far apart
You can tone the muscles used in these movements in other ways. Swimming and walking will work your thigh muscles (quadriceps) and buttocks just as well as lunges and knee bends.
As your centre of gravity shifts during pregnancy, you become more prone to losing your balance. That's why you should take care when you shift positions. Getting up quickly can make you dizzy, and cause you to lose your footing and fall.
Drink lots of water
Try to drink plenty of water before you begin exercising. Take a bottle of water with you when you exercise, and take frequent sips from it. This will help to regulate your temperature and prevent you from becoming dehydrated (OTIS 2010).
Take it easy when it's hot and humid outside. Weather like this makes you prone to overheating. Give your workout a miss or exercise indoors in a cool, airy room.
Cool down
Take the time to cool down properly after you exercise (Nascimento et al 2012, NHS 2013). Walk on the spot for a few minutes, stretch and relax. This gives your heart a chance to return gradually to its normal rate.
I like to push myself when exercising. Is it safe?Keep exercise moderate, and don't overdo it. You should just feel a bit warmer and mildly sweaty (Wright 2010), not exhausted.
A good rule of thumb is to slow down if you can't comfortably carry on a conversation. Read more about how hard you can exercise.
Always listen to your body. When something hurts, or if you feel tired, that's your warning to stop. You should feel that you're working your body, not punishing it. Think about maintaining your existing fitness levels, or improving them slightly, rather than going for peak fitness.
Get started today with Tommy's easy pregnancy workout.

Whatever, they look good. And, according to my friend, taste good. So what are Roman Pizzas?
Thanks for the lesson.....learn something new every time I'm on this site. Did you notice the meat based pizza. What is that...a type of salami?
Roman pizzas dont exist....the pizzas that your friend enjoys eating are called Pizza Al Taglio(al taglio means "cut")you see in Italy there are 3 main kind of pizzas that are offeredPizza Italiana (which is the most popular pizza)Pizza Napoletana (mosty relegated to Napoli)Pizza Al Taglio (which is described in your pics)
Sorry but I do not agere with you about the terminology above and on the fact that Roman Pizza doesn't exist.What you mean by pizza Italiana? Do you know that the round pizza was not found outside NAples til after the second world war? It was only then that Neapolitan which emigrated to the centre and north of Italy, started opening pizza places. Unfotunately, not having the traditional artisans building the Neapolitan wood burning ovens, they had to use a different oven so the pizza got thinner and crispier.All the rest of flat breas, were very much available around italy and where made in different way. These were comonly called Focaccias.
pizza was born in Naples but for your information...NOW...neapolitan pizza is mostly relegated to NAPLES itself and to any neapolita who wants to open up a neapolitan pizzeria oustide of the city...but MOST of italy offers Pizza Italiana which is 12 to 13 inch pizza which has a thinner crust and has lower borders..your eating less bread but have more toppings then you would with a neapolitan pizzaRoman pizza? you think an italian in italy will know what your talking about if you ask them for a roman pizza?
I am Italian, and I was born and grown up in there. It is only 6 years that I have left the country, but I still spend at least 30 days a year in Italy.Nobody talk about "pizza italiana" in Italy. They call it either "Pizza alla napoletana" (nothing to do with the DOC regulation) because it is cooked in a hot wood burning oven and serve it whole in a plate or since the law has been approved, I heard the word "pizza al piatto".All over Italy taste changes and they preferred thinner or overcooked, but neapolitan pizza is still the benchmark against all other are measured. If you look for a job as a pizzaiolo, and you are from Naples, they are more likely to pay you more... Trust me this is from experience.Pizza alla romana (o in teglia) find it's best expression in pizza bianca also known as focaccia patate e rosmarino. The dough is made in a different way, it is baked in a different way and the final result it is completely different from any other baking product. Roman pizza is made with a unique dough method which involves a phase called "rigeneri" and use percentage close to 110% flour to 100% water....
Pizza schools exist mainly for foreign people. Italian, which do not have any other way to learn the basics do attend them too. I have many friends that attend both courses in Rome and Carole (near Venice), and they confirm that, all it was taught was the basic. It is not a matter of accepting or not what you said. It is certainly not a matter of pride.What you said are not fact, maybe misinformation they give you at the pizza school. State the bibliography or your sources and then we can start a proper discussion.Do you really think that by attending a pizza school and working in ONE pizzeria in Tuscany, would give more knowledge that an Italian, which has grown up in the pizza business???I can also tell you that until the beginning of 1900, the word "PIZZA" was not included in the most popular Italian dictionary(Della Crusca), because according to the authors it was a word only typical of Naples.you also need to know that in Italy there are many association that offer pizza courses and each of them is in competition to attract more students, especially foreigners, thus they'll convince you that their methods are the better.

Mark's Retro "At the Ready" Kitchen
Mark's Spanish-style bungalow in northeast Los Angeles dates from the 1930s, and the style is cool and relaxed—"cabin mod," as he calls it. The kitchen is very simple and straightforward, but there are a few interesting details to note:
Mark keeps all his spices and cooking utensils at the ready right above the stove! I like the look, and it must certainly be convenient, although I wonder about keeping it clean. The other notable detail is the taut wire on the ceiling, which serves as a hanger for both pots and extra lighting. (Do you see the small LED spot light hanging down?)
All in all, it looks like a charming kitchen to cook in!

Beach City residents must boil water until Tuesday while repairs are made to a broken water main.
The village is under a boil water advisory through 4 p.m. Tuesday because of repairs to a broken water main.
The Environmental Protection Agency requires a boil alert be issued, according to a release from the village. Water is being pulled from the water tower. The boil alert continues through Tuesday because even after the break is repaired, the EPA will be testing the water.
Last week, the village issued a three-day boil water advisory for a different water main break. This affects more than 1,000 residents.

Yes, I know. The general argument is that the first person to call the other guy a Nazi loses the argument. Fortunately, I'm not calling Cashflow Dollar a Nazi. I am, however, insisting that the Pulpit Pimps are evil; some "more" evil than others. I don't believe they are deceived any more than Hitler, Goering, or Himmler were deceived.
The Nazis ordered millions of people, civilians, to their deaths. They knew perfectly well that they were ordering and facilitating the murder of millions of people. And they ignited a world war that killed multiple millions of people and reduced Germany to rubble. Here's a video of Creflo Dollar, one of my favorite pimps. "Favorite" being a relative term.
Listen to what Creflo and his fellow purveyor of religious porn (and it is as much and as shameful a distortion of Christianity as pornography is of sex) say about tithing.
Creflo starts off saying our salvation is in the blood of Jesus, and that it's a good thing our salvation is in the blood of Jesus (0:02).
But he then goes on to say:
Getting rid of the non-tithing members lets God come to church. Then you can have church and have the anointing. (1:06)
If you tithe, it's impossible for you to go to hell. You're in the presence of God when you tithe. (1:52)
Tithing is the agreement. (2:10) Huh? What in the world does he mean by that? He goes on to explain that the tithe is the covenant (2:17)
It's your covenant connection. (2:20) Are you perhaps noticing that so far, Jesus Christ seems to be missing big time from this whole thing? Apparently he supplies the blood and then backs out of the whole thing.
All the promises that God has given us are blocked unless we tithe. (2:26) The only way you are going to get healed is through the tithe (2:34)
The rest of the video is mostly Leroy, his grammar challenged partner in heresy going on about prosperity.
