Get started adding items
Prep & Pantry opens on the Add Items screen. To switch between the green Add Items screen and the red Remove Items screen simply tap the appropriate Add Items or Remove Items button near the bottom of the screen as shown here.
An alternative way to switch between the Add Items and Remove Items screen is to SWIPE the screen LEFT to remove items or RIGHT to add items.
Manually entering item barcodes
Tap the 'enter barcode number' field to enter an item barcode manually.
Refer to the section Automatic UPC Lookup for more information regarding barcodes and what numbers are important.
Also check out the related Add non-barcode items section for more options.
Scanning item barcodes
Tap the 'Scan Barcode' image to access your device's camera to scan barcodes.
See also Barcodes and scanning, hints and tips! and Automatic UPC Lookup .
Removing items from inventory.
There are two ways to remove items from inventory, through the red Remove Items screen (recommended) or by editing an item's Location/Expiration/Quantity (LEQ).
Why would you want to use the red Remove Items screen to remove items from inventory? First, it's super easy. Second, it's how items get added to the cart automatically.
To remove an item through the red Remove Items screen, tap the red Remove Items button near the bottom of the Scan window or swipe the green Add Items screen left. Presented is a screen nearly identical to the Add Items screen. From the Remove Items screen you can manually enter item barcodes or scan item barcodes to remove items from inventory.
After the barcode is entered you will be presented with the Remove Item detail screen. Below the item detail portion of the screen the LEQ subset is presented as shown here.
These are the items grouped by location and listed by expiration dates. The Qty is the count of items in the specific location with a specific expiration date. Tap the red Remove button to increment the count of items to be removed. Tapping the green '+' button will undo it if you tapped the Remove button too many times. Tap Save when finished.
Know the item that needs to be removed but don't have the barcode number? No problem! Tap the spyglass icon in the top right corner of the Remove Items screen. From there you can scroll to the desired item or search for an item by it's name, tag, barcode, or unique ID. This works for both adding and removing Items.
Learn about Qm and how items are added to the Shopping List in the section Help me manage my Shopping List!
To edit an item quantity manually, see the section Removing items from inventory.
Setting up syncing
Prep & Pantry can sync your inventory between multiple devices. While the device is connected to the internet, syncing occurs in the background, real-time. A change made on one device will appear moments later on the second device.
Syncing happens as a group. You can create a group and allow others to join or, by being provided an existing group's information, join their group.
Group members can be anyone from family members to employees to members of a volunteer group. The only requirements is to have Prep & Pantry installed and internet access either through WIFI or their mobile service provider.
Your inventory is automatically backed up to the server when you are a member of a group, just join the group and the current inventory data will be downloaded to your device. No need for any of the other group members to be online.
Creating a Group
To create a group, start by tapping Create Group from the Syncing page. This will open a window asking for the group name, group password, and an email address.
- Group Name may only be comprised of lowercase characters (a-z), numbers (0-9), or underscore ( _ ). No spaces are allowed.
- Passwords cannot be left blank and spaces are not allowed.
- Email address is optional and is only used for resetting the password. This is important ,the password cannot be reset if you do not enter an email address that you own.
Make sure you are connected to the internet before filling in the requested information. When done tap "Create Group". Prep & Pantry will then contact the server and check the submitted information.
If your requested Group Name is available it will be created on the server and Prep & Pantry will automatically join your newly created group, syncing the inventory data on your device with the server.
While the syncing happens in the background, please note that depending on the number of entries in your database and the speed of the connection, this could take several minutes to complete.
Joining a Group
Note: When joining a group a potentially large amount of data will need to be downloaded initially. This can be extremely slow (and costly) if you are using only a mobile data connection. A WIFI internet connection is recommended for best performance.
To join an existing group, fill in the Group Name and Password fields on the Syncing page first, then tap "Join Group". (Make sure you are connected to the internet before filling in the group information otherwise Prep & Pantry will not allow you to continue.)
First you will be presented the option to either Use the Group Data, Merge the Data, or Cancel.
- Using the Group Data will remove ALL of your current inventory data before downloading the group inventory data. This means that everything including any Tags, Locations, or items in the Cart List will be overwritten with the group data.
- Merging the Data will do just that, it will combine both the group data and your current device data. If there is any duplicate data, that data will then show up twice. For example if you have "Acme Beans" in your inventory and the group inventory also has "Acme Beans" the combined list will now have two entries of Acme Beans.
Prep & Pantry will check the internet connection then contact the server. If the provided information is correct you will be joined to the group and the group inventory data will start downloading and syncing to your device. A counter will appear on the screen and show you the syncing status.
Please note that depending on the number of entries in your database and the speed of the connection, this could take several minutes to complete.
Resetting the Password
Tap Reset Password located in the bottom right corner of the Syncing page. Resetting the password is a three step process.
- First fill in the Group Name field and tap "Get Reset Code". Prep & Pantry will look-up the email address that was entered when the group was created and send a RESET CODE to that address.
- Second, after receiving the reset code at the designated email address, copy or write down the 10 digit alphanumeric code, you will need to provide this in the final step.
- Finally, from the Get Reset Code page, tap the "I have a reset code already" button.
Enter the Group Name, the 10 digit reset code you just received, and the new password. Tap the "Reset Password" button when each field has been filled in. Prep & Pantry will reconfirm the group name with the reset code and then resets the password. A completion screen will appear when the reset finishes successfully.
Remember, if an email address was not provided during the initial group creation, the password reset cannot be accomplished. There is no work-around for this. Tech support cannot bypass this requirement.
Add non-barcode items
A common misconception has been that a barcode is required for every entry. Each item does require a unique identifier; this is how the database filing system works, however, there are several options for identifying an entry. For items that do not even have barcodes or if you prefer to catalog items by something other than a barcode, you can enter the item name or make up a unique identifier instead. You can track bananas if you want to! Later, you can look up the item by name, tag, barcode, OR that unique ID.
To enter an item without a barcode, tap on the 'enter barcode number' field. A keyboard will appear. Tap the 'No Barcode' button just above the keyboard. Prep & Pantry will create a new blank item and assign a unique identifier to it, automatically.
To enter an item using an ID you assign, tap the 'abc' button on the tool bar. You can now enter letters or numbers. Use "bananas" to track, well, bananas. This also works well for homemade meals that are individually frozen, bulk quantities that you individually package, canned goods, etc. "Single-Serv-Lasagna-1", "Chicken-qtrs", "Strawberries-pint-summer2010", "Canned-peaches-2011".
Tip: On the bulk items that you individually package mark the ID you assigned as well as the Use By date i.e. "Single-Serve-Lasagna, Use by 23-March-2013".
To add or remove an item without having to enter a barcode or item ID, tap the spyglass icon at the top right corner of the screen (Either the green Add Item screen or the red Remove Item screen). From there you can scroll to the desired item or search for an item by it's name, tag, barcode, or unique ID. This works for both adding and removing Items.
Automatic UPC Lookup
Prep & Pantry uses a dedicated online database of over 1 million items encompassing a wide variety of international products using the EAN-13, UPC-A, and UPC-E barcodes!
Something You Should Know When Enter an Item Manually
Make sure that when you enter an item barcode manually that you include those numbers "outside" the barcode. In the UPC-A example above that would be the zero to the left of the barcode and the seven to the right. Also, no spaces. The number you enter should appear similar to one the blue numbers in the barcode example above.
Enabling Automatic UPC Lookup
Every time you scan or manually enter a barcode you will see one of three messages -"Success!", "Item not found", or "Barcode is not UPC/EAN". If you are not seeing one of these messages and you have a working internet connection, it means that the Automatic UPC Lookup is not enabled.
Automatic UPC lookup is enabled by default, but if you recently upgraded versions and it doesn't seem to be working, you should double check the settings. Go to the Settings tab> UPC Lookup. Even if the switch shows ON, tap it once to OFF, then once again back to ON. Occasionally on version upgrades the automatic setting doesn't fully engage and doing this resets it.
Every Item I Scan Returns "Item not found"!
While the database does contain over 1M items, it is not all food items. Nor is it guaranteed that
every item you scan will be found. Sometimes it will seem as though "nothing" is being found. There are gaps in the database but there IS better product coverage for more countries than any of the other databases researched.
The intention is that this database is a good starting point to grow from, for everyone. The goal is, with the upcoming Prep & Pantry version 2.1, to do what is called "crowdsourcing". This is where we all will have an opportunity to help each other out. In v2.1 there will be the option to submit items to the database that were not found with the automatic lookup. It is expected that those gaps will be filled quickly with this approach and the information will be acutely relevant to the users or Prep & Pantry.
Barcodes and scanning, hints and tips!
Prep & Pantry currently recognizes EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, and UPC-E formats.
Make sure there is plenty of light as lighting is very important. Distance should be about 3 to 5 inches. Sometimes it might be necessary to shake your device to force the camera to wake and focus. Give it a moment for the auto focus to finish and recognize the barcode.
The fixed focus camera of the iPod Touch 4G requires a slightly different "touch" from the iPhone. Lighting is very important. Bright, even lighting with no glare spots on the barcode. Hold the camera approximately 6 inches from the barcode to be read. A couple of different methods some of Prep & Pantry users have found to work very well - Holding the iPod Touch horizontally with the home button to the right and then placing the barcode in the upper right hand corner of the view screen. For those stubborn barcodes, try rotating the camera 90 degrees (turning from portrait to landscape) during the scan, often the camera will recognize the barcode instantly.
Prep & Pantry's barcode scanning is optimized to work with iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, the iPad 2 and the new iPad. [Please note: It has been found that some iPad 2's are not compatible with Prep & Pantry's scanning feature. This has been most apparent with the early production iPad 2, while the current production iPad 2 appears to work just fine. If you are concerned about Prep & Pantry working with your iPad, please download the "Lite" version from Apple. It's free to download and free to try!]
Prep & Pantry will work with handheld bluetooth scanners that support Bluetooth HID. Here are a few of the known supported scanners:
- Socket Bluetooth CHS 7Xi / 7XiRx
- KDC200i Laser Barcode Data Collector
- KDC300i Imager Barcode Data Collector
- Opticon OPN-2002 Bluetooth Barcode Memory Scanner
Why is there a red bubble on my icon?
That little red bubble is called an icon badge. If you go to the Settings tab> View Options > Icon Badge Options you can configure what that badge represents or simply turn it off.
For the desktop icon, you have three choices. 1) Show the number of Expired Items in your inventory. 2) Show the number of items on your Shopping List. 3) Off.
Those icon badges on the tabs in Prep & Pantry work similarly. The badge next to the List tab icon shows you the number of Expired Items in your inventory. The badge next to the Cart tab icon shows you the number of items on your Shopping List. If you go to the Settings tab> View Options > Icon Badge Options you can configure which badges you see.
What does that lightning bolt do?
This lightning bolt is called Zap! because it is an easy way to add additional items. You will find the Zap! button in several places. The bottom right corner of the Add Item, Add Existing, and Item Detail screens. Tap it and you can quickly add an additional quantity of the item you are currently viewing. Set the additional quantity, location, and expiration, tap Save and you are done! This works great for when you have several quantity of an item with differing expiration dates and/or locations. Try it, you'll see!
On the Cart Shopping List screen, Zap! is a quick way to add items to your shopping list. You can add items from your inventory or non-inventory items.
Help me manage my Shopping List!
As you've read above, Zap! is a quick way to add items to your shopping list. Tap the icon and you will be presented with the options Add Inventory Item and Add non-Inventory Item.
- Select Add Inventory Item to be presented current and previous inventory items. Select the item to add and that item is added to the Shopping List. You may then select the item from the Shopping List to modify the quantity needed and/or the location. You will also be presented the current information for that item such as the current inventory count and locations.
- Select Add non-Inventory Item and you will given a very short form to fill out. Only the name is necessary, the other fields (location, quantity, notes) are optional.
You may have noticed when you add an item to your inventory, one of the optional fields is Qm. This is for setting the Minimum Quantity for an item and works as the trigger for when an item is added to the Shopping List.
- Set this to zero (to indicate no minimum) and this item will NOT automatically be added to the Shopping List.
Alternately, set Qm to a number greater than zero, for example 4. When you remove an item from your inventory and the total quantity on hand falls below your Qm, that amount is added to the Shopping List. So for our example, if your Total Quantity is 5 and you remove two, only one is added to the Shopping List because the Total Quantity is now 3, which is one below the Minimum Quantity of 4. This feature is disable by default, to enable it go to the Settings tab> Cart Options. There is an On/Off switch. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position then Qm will take over the job of putting items in the cart. - Some might want to add every item to the Shopping List when you use it. Go to the Settings tab> Cart Options. There is an On/Off switch here. Set it to ON. That's it! Now, each item you use will be added to the cart, one-for-one.
Clearing the List
There are two ways to remove items from the Shopping List.
Swipe the line to delete an item directly from the Shopping List.
Go to the Settings tab> Cart Options and select Clear Cart. This will remove all the items from the cart.
Email the List
Tap the Envelope icon located in the upper right corner and your shopping list will be inserted into an email message needing only an email address before sending it on it's way.
Why do I have to re-scan the items in my Cart?
aka Why do I have to re-scan an item on my shopping list to move it back into inventory?
There are actually several reasons for needing to scan an item back into the inventory, but it really comes down to having an accurate inventory.
- The item has a new expiration date.
- The manufacturer might have changed barcode numbers (it does happen!)
- You might have purchased a slightly different product from what was on the shopping list, purposely or by accident. (Lite Canned Peaches instead of Peaches in Heavy Syrup)
- What was the quantity purchased? (Only needed one but you bought three because it was on sale.)
What location is the item stored in? (Put one in the kitchen and those two extra will go in the pantry.) - Keep in mind that you will not need to re-enter the item's specific information. You do however need to confirm the item expiration date, location, and quantity.
For people that keep a super minimalist inventory (one item, one location, nothing with an expiration date), re-scanning the item is still super easy. Just scan the barcode and tap Done. Everything is filled in by default.
How do I manage my Tags?
Tagging is a powerfully versatile way to categorize and sort your inventory. With tags you can create very flexible lists and groups of items.
You can use tags to organize items by a commonality, like milk for example. There is evaporated, powdered, fresh, sweetened condensed milk, individual creamer servings, powdered creamer.
Some tags that might apply are: refrigerated, dry, canned, milk, sweetened condensed milk, long term storage, fresh, travel necessities, high turnover, family favorite, allergen, dairy, soy, vegetarian.
Use tags to group different brands together. There might be four different brands of sweetened condensed milk in your pantry on two different shelves with an extra can in the cabinet with the baking supplies. Tagging keeps them all together.
Creating and Managing Tags
You can create and manage your tags one of two ways. Through the Settings tab> Manage Tags or as you are entering items to your inventory.
As you are entering your items into inventory you add tags to an item by tapping the Tags row on the New Item screen. If you already have tags created, they will be presented to you. If you don't already have some tags created or you want to create a new tag, tap the "+" next to Add/Edit Tags. This takes you to the Manage Tags window. Here you can add or delete tags as well as re-order them.
Re-order them, why would I want to do that you ask? You might want to group your tags or put them in a particular order.
- Group common tags together to find them quickly like First Aid items. For example you might want to organize your supplies by gauze, bandage, splint, ointment, pain reliever, etc.
- Keep your most commonly used tags at the top or the end of the tag list if you prefer.
Organize and Re-order the Tags
- From either of the Manage Tags screens tap the "Edit" button in the top right.
- This will bring up a screen with red icons to the left of the tags and an icon that looks like a small stack of three lines on the right.
- Tap the three-line icon and hold it. The Tag you've selected will become active (when active, it appears to be slightly above the other Tags).
- Drag the Tag to the position in the list you want it to have and let it go.
- Click "done" in the top right and your tags will be reordered.
Viewing Tagged Items
There are two ways to view tagged items. Entering the tag name into the Search Bar at the top of the A-Z List view or by selecting Tags from the view options on the List tab.
Selecting the Tags view will present you with your list of tags in the order you defined. Select a Tag to view all the items with that tag assigned.
The View Options.
Prep & Pantry provides several options for customizing how information is presented.
List View Options
In the A-Z List view you can show a thumbnail image of the item next to the item information as well as view the first line of an item's description.
In addition to increasing the amount of information displayed on the list, disabling the thumbnail images will allow the list to display more quickly.
Disable the description row. When there are only two lines of information, more information is able to be displayed on a small screen such as the iPhone versus the large screen of the iPad.
Date Format Options
Prep & Pantry provides eight different date viewing options! Pick the date view that is easiest for you to work with.
- Month-Year • 7-2012
- Day-Month-Year • 4-7-2012
- Month-Day-Year • 7-4-2012
- Year-Month-Day • 2012-7-4
- Month-Year • July-2012
- Day-Month-Year • 4-July-2012
- Month-Day-Year • July-4-2012
- Year-Month-Day • 2012-July-4
Icon Badge Options
The icon badges on the Home icon, the List tab icon, and the Cart tab icon are configurable. Refer to the section Why is there a red bubble on my icon? for details.
How do I delete items?
Items are never deleted, just removed from inventory. When an item's quantity reaches zero it is removed from the main lists. If you want to see a list of items regardless of quantity go to the Cart tab> Zap!> Add Inventory Item. You will be presented a list of every item that is or ever was in your inventory and conveniently, a single tap will add that item to your Shopping List.
If you truly wish to remove an item because you will never use it again or you made a mistake entering the barcode you need to wait for one of the upcoming releases of Prep & Pantry. Several "Power User" features are planned, one of which will be the ability to permanently delete items from inventory database.
Remember, the only field that cannot be edited at this time is the barcode. A mistakenly edited barcode can really mess up the database, so it is restricted. With that said, any other field CAN be edited. If you make a mistake you can fix it, unless it's the barcode that was mistakenly entered. If that's the case, just set the item's quantity to zero, it will disappear from view and you start over with the correct barcode.
Change the Location, Expiration, Quantity
In the inventory there is the item, then there is the subset of that item consisting of an item's Location, Expiration and Quantity. In short this is referred to as LEQ.
An item's LEQ is found on the Item Detail screen reached through any of the view options on the List tab. Using view A-Z for an example,find the item in the list view by either scrolling to the item's list location or by entering the name or tag in the search bar. Select the item and the Item Detail screen is presented. Below the item details is the LEQ section. From here there are two ways to modify the items LEQ.
Tap to edit the LEQ
Tap the line you wish to modify to show the Edit LEQ screen.
To change the expiration date for this subset of items tap the expiration date row.
To move items from one location to another tap the location row.
To change the quantity tap the quantity row.
To move a partial amount of items from one location to another, set the quantity row to the quantity you wish to move to the new location then set the desired location.
IMPORTANT! If you change the expiration date AND the quantity, you are then editing the item information NOT moving items. Changing the location is the trigger that tells Prep & Pantry that you want to edit an item, not move it.
Swipe to delete the LEQ
Swipe to delete will remove the sub items listed quickly. In the above example, there is only one item that expires on 24 Feb 2014 at the Home location. This will be completely removed and the total quantity (Qt) updated accordingly.

Senators Hear Input on McCaskill's Plan to Stop European Airline Tax on Americans
June 6, 2012
Video requires Flash Player
A U.S. Senate panel today heard feedback on Senator Claire McCaskill's bipartisan plan to protect Missouri consumers and American jobs from a European Union environmental tax on the U.S. airline industry. McCaskill used today's hearing in the Senate Commerce Committee to tell an Administration official and two environmental groups that she would not allow the European Union (E.U.) to force Missourians to pay carbon taxes on international flights. Today's hearing focused on a E.U. proposal that applies a 'cap-and-trade' carbon tax system to all flights originating or landing in Europe-taxing even those emissions that occur over international waters and outside Europe.

Comments about Pittsburgh Professional 10 Piece High Visibility 3/8 in. Drive Metric Deep Wall Socket:
i really like these pittsburgh pro sockets. the only downfall is they leave out the commonly used 18mm.
Comment on this review
missing important size 18mm
By LaterGater
from Corpus Christi Texas
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Almost all socket sets and combination wrench sets sold at HFT are missing the very critical size 18, and many are missing 15mm. Both sizes are used extensively in American cars and neither size is interchangeable with inch size like found with 16mm being same as 5/8, and 19mm is almost same as 3/4, but there are no inch substitutes for 15 and 18. My most recent "job" wheel hub on 05 Chevy required both 15 and 18.

Bangladesh in Zimbabwe, 2013
Tamim to miss first Test
Star Bangladeshi opener Tamim Iqbal will not be playing in the first Test against Zimbabwe that is starting from April 17 at the Harare Sports ground. Tamim had injured his thumb while fielding during the first ODI against Sri Lanka at Hambantota during last month's tour to Sri Lanka. An X-ray taken recently to ascertain his recovery has indicated that he will need more time before he can be declared match fit.

Bangladesh in Zimbabwe: A tour preview
Asaad Wahid
On the face of it, this series seems a simple walkover for two bottom ranked teams headed in opposite directions. Since making a triumphant return to Test cricket by humbling the Bangladeshis and pushing the Pakistanis and New Zealanders, Zimbabwe has been struggling of late across formats. On the other hand, Bangladesh has gone from strength to strength in the past 15 months by somewhat successfully hosting the Bangladesh Premier League, coming within 3 runs of winning the Asia Cup, and an ODI series win against the West Indies plus another series drawn in Sri Lanka, and posting their best Test totals in successive tours. The author previews the tour.

Visit the Department of Health's website which lists bpas' registered consultation centres. Before an abortion Please be aware that some organisations advertising free pregnancy testing and counselling on the internet and in phone books are strongly opposed to abortion. They will not discuss all the options available to you in an unbiased way. If they talk about abortion as an option at all, it may involve negative, unevidenced or untrue claims, or statistics. They may not provide you with any information on how to access abortion treatment.

We recommend that you approach an organisation on the Department of Health list or your GP for advice on getting the most appropriate source of support in your area. Post Abortion Care |

White Bean Salad, Grilled Lamb with Pesto
April 30, 2010 | Posted by Lauren Keating under Beef, Lamb, and Pork, Greek/Mediterranean, Light, Quick Weeknight Meals, Reviews, Salads, Summer |
Lately, I've been giving a lot of thought to side dishes. In the colder weather, a lot of my dinners tend to be soups or stews that don't require any extras. But now that it's getting warmer out, it's hard to resist the simplicity of just throwing something on the grill — which usually means making some sort of side dish to go with it. Baked potatoes and pasta salads are good, but I get tired of them pretty quickly. So I've been thinking about other easy-to-make options that will help round out a grilled meal. The white bean salad is exactly the kind of dish that I've been looking for. It's light yet full of flavor, and it only takes a few seconds to throw together. The leftovers are great on a green salad, or they can be pureed and served with toasted baguette pieces for a satisfying hummus-like snack.
I recently came across a good deal on lamb leg slices, so I stocked up and now have a freezer full of them. Which is great, sine they go perfectly with the Mediterranean flavors of the bean salad. I especially like to prepare them in this updated take on my herb-crusted lamb — rubbed with a mixture of olive oil, sea salt, and rosemary, then grilled and slathered with this delicious pesto that Mezzetta sent me (I've since bought another jar). I love how intense the flavor of this pesto is! It doesn't taste like something out of a jar at all. The only weird thing about it is that it needs to be refrigerated after opening, and the olive oil congeals a little in the cold. But as long as you remember to pull it out a few minutes before you plan to eat it so that it comes up to temperature, you're good to go!
White Bean Salad
This versatile white bean salad is a snap to throw together! Feel free to use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand, or throw in other vegetables that you want to use up.
- 1 can navy beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 artichoke hearts, chopped
- 2 Tbs sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 Tbs fresh thyme
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper
Combine all ingredients in a serving dish. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.

I am so jealous that you have a freezer full of lamb. I've only had it in restaurants because it's so expensive!
This dish looks to die for. Especially in the first picture – gorgeous!
I have been all about side dishes recently as well! There's something about summer that screams multi-course meal. Hmmm.
I love this white bean salad! So many fresh flavors.
I wish I had a freezer full of lamb. That would be lovely.
I love bean salads–I make them for lunches and dinner–so versatile. I love lamb too–such a great combination.
Mmmm, that looks so delicious. I just adore bean salad…
I love bean salads but hardly make them.
A wonderful summery meal! The white bean salad is a terrific side dish!
I adore the flavor of lamb! I have only had the pleasure of enjoying it cooked int he oven but even on a grill… mmm. smoky!
and lately i have been on a pesto kick. so this baby sounds as wonderful as it looks
i'm bookmarking this…what a great recipe for cooking out, and i love how versatile it is with the leftovers! fabulous, as always
oh what a perfect meal love it have a lovely weekend
Lamb is so perfect during summer! Nice recipe!
Thanks for sending this lovely bean salad to the Showdown Lauren! It's an excellent side for the lamb with pesto – a perfect match.
Awesome side dish.
Great combination of flavours xBean salads are my go-to side dish in the summer as well. I especially like a mix of red and white beans with some diced red onion, carrot, and radish. Finely chop parsley and some mint, drizzle with olive oil and white vinegar. It keeps for a very long time too, so it's good for lunch for the whole week.
I love that white bean salad
Beautiful Lauren. I can think of a bunch of dishes that would go well with – or simply on its own!

Three St. Rose rehab therapists receive ASTYM training Double click on image to enlarge Wednesday, 21 November 2012 St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center patients who need physical or occupational therapy will benefit from recent training completed by members of the Rehab Services team, said Pam Perry, program director. Three St. Rose therapists are now trained in ASTYM. "ASTYM is quite effective for new injuries as well as chronic conditions," Perry said. "It is used for a wide variety of diagnoses and can help patients when other treatments have failed. And it often decreases the need for surgical intervention." The three ASTYM-trained therapists are Sister Mary Vuong, OT, who has three years of experience, all at St. Rose; Kim Partlow, certified OT assistant, with six years experience at St. Rose and 16 years total; and Jim Burke, PT assistant, with almost a year at St. Rose and a total of four years experience. "Our therapists deserve recognition for their willingness to enhance their education, as well as the successful completion of all the requirements involved," Perry said, noting the training was in Wichita. "Their diligence means we can offer this exceptional treatment to physical and occupational therapy patients any time." ASTYM is designed as an effective treatment for injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, trigger finger, and wrist and shoulder pain. "Our rehab patients can be assured that we will tailor each treatment to their individual needs," Perry said. "We will do all we can to enhance their ability to participate in normal daily activities, while enjoying more flexibility and less discomfort." The treatment is supported by scientific research, substantial clinical experience and extensive outcomes research, Perry noted. Local and area physicians refer patients to St. Rose Rehab Services; private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare cover ASTYM treatments. For more information, contact Rehab Services by calling 620-786-6111.FOR MORE INFO Mark Mingenback 3515 Broadway email@example.com

Bridgeport, Conn. – Newcomer junior Ilkka Hanhineva (Pietarsaari, Finland) was the top team and men's finisher at the 2011 UB Swimming Purple Knight Biathlon held at Seaside Park on the Long Island Sound. Freshmen Alja Tavcar (Ljublijana, Slovenia) and Maria Trubitsyna (Moscow, Russia) tied for first on the women's side and finished tied for sixth in the team race. Finishing in second & third for the men were freshmen Vlad Paskas (Zrenjanin, Serbia) and Igor Vulesevic (Zrenjanin, Serbia) and completing the top three on the women's side was junior Anna Krasnowska (Kedzierzyn-Kozle, Poland), who took eighth in the Team Race.
The Biathlon consists of a one-mile beach run from the sand volleyball courts at Seaside Park to the base of the lighthouse breakwater, immediately followed by a one-mile swim following the beach course back to the start-finish Line. The course measure 1.07 miles each way for a total race distance of 2.14 miles. With a crystal blue sky, air temps in the mid 70's and water temperature of 70, conditions could not have been better for the Bridgeport swimming teams second-ever Biathlon. There was a 2009 Biathlon on a shorter course, but weather and cold water caused the cancellation of last year's event.

The Shaker Road Fire Department was formally organized in 1932 when thirty members met and elected James J. Naughter President and Arthur G. Emerick Chief. The original station was located at 526 Albany Shaker Road at the site of an old Sunday School House. Our original pumper was a 1918 White obtained from the Albany Fire Department. A newer station was constructed up the road in 1949 and remained our main station until 1989 when our current station was constructed. Our second station, built in 1972 to meet the needs of our growing district is located on Old Niskayuna Road.
Since the 30s, Shaker Road has gone through many changes from membership to the apparatus we respond with. Today we stand 150+ male and female members strong with the latest training, equipment and apparatus and respond to an average of about 750 calls a year. Our department boasts a fine blend of eager newcomers with the experience of its older members. We continue to look to our community to fill the ranks of our firefighters, our Explorer Post and our Auxiliary.
Recruitment Rolls On
Our Open House in April netted us two more interested volunteers. We met an Explorer candidate and a Firefighter candidate. (and had some nice BBQ)
Banquet Room
Shaker Road is proud to offer our beautiful banquet room with industrial sized and fully equipped kitchen, wet bar and optional dance floor.
For outdoor events, our large pavilion features a kitchen, walk-in cooler, service windows and enough room to seat over 100 guests. The pavilion is also adjacent to a softball field, playground, horseshoe pits and full restrooms.
To check availability and more e-mail our rental coordinator.
Explorer Post 475 is a division of the Boy Scouts of America and is sponsored by the Shaker Road Loudonville Fire Department Inc. Since the 1970s, the Post has been a valuable resource for young people to gain experience in the firefighting services.
Under the supervision of firefighter advisors, Post members train like members of the department, learning about search and rescue, extrication, fire suppression, first aid and more. Explorers even participate in ride-along shifts on actual calls. The Post meets Mondays of the month at the Shaker Road Loudonville F.D. Station #1.

The Auxilliary are a crucial part of our organization. They provide the department with support at major incidents, with fund raising efforts and at functions. Whether serving hot coffee at a job in the middle of the night, organizing a special dinner for our membership, or out helping the community, the women of our Auxilliary are a great asset. The Auxilliary is made up of members from the ages of 18 and up.

Strong Suit: off the track since running in last year's Breeders' Cup Mile
PICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)Strong Suit camp weigh up merits of Frankel race
STRONG SUIT could face Frankel in the Queen Anne Stakes after completing a piece of work on Wednesday morning that connections said was "as good as he's ever done", but his camp admitted they fear a thrashing if the pair do meet at Royal Ascot.
Strong Suit has not run since the Breeders' Cup last November and missed a clash with Frankel earlier in the season when he swerved a run in the Lockinge. He has not raced Frankel since finishing last in the Greenham before last year's 2,000 Guineas.
And connections admitted the prospect of facing Sir Henry Cecil's unbeaten superstar was causing them to question the wisdom of running in the Queen Anne, with David Redvers, racing manager to owner Sheikh Fahad, admitting his camp feared "a thumping".
Redvers said: "Strong Suit worked extremely well. Both Richard Hughes and Richard Hannon were thrilled to bits and believe it is as good a piece of work as he's ever done.
"The Queen Anne is still the plan, but it's an interesting one. All common sense tells you we're going there to get a thumping, but, equally, as sportsmen we really need to have a go, and Sheikh Fahad is certainly a sportsman."
However, Redvers, quoted by RTE, added: "We have to weigh up whether getting a thumping at Royal Ascot would be the right thing to do for Strong Suit's prospective stallion career."
There are doubts too over whether Harbour Watch, the former favourite for the 2,000 Guineas who has been off the track for over ten months, will make his reappearance in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The three-year-old did his first serious piece of work this year on Wednesday morning and Richard Hannon jnr told official site richardhannonracing.tv: "That was very encouraging and Harbour Watch is coming along very nicely, but obviously the clock is ticking away with regards to Royal Ascot.
"We would really love to run him in the St James's Palace Stakes, but, though he had done plenty of steady cantering before we stepped him up a gear this morning, time is very tight, and we are under no pressure from the owners to push him for Royal Ascot.
"Harbour Watch is a very good colt and a very valuable one, too, and we will do what is best for the horse. There are plenty of other good races in the second half of the season."
In other Royal Ascot news from the Hannon yard, Tuesday's Leicester winner Jalaa may head for the Chesham rather than the Coventry, which had initially been named as his royal meeting target.
And Tassel, who suffered a setback when finishing last at Salisbury early last month, is back in work and heading for a Royal Ascot run in the Queen Mary Stakes or Albany Stakes.

FAA Wants to Limit Fatigue Damage On Aging Commercial Planes
In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) with a public comment period set to end on July 17, FAA proposes to "require that design approval holders [DAHs, or airplane manufacturers] establish operational limits on transport category airplanes.
Also, as an instructor, he's taught students for years how to calculate the fatigue-related operational life of various aircraft. Even though he's never worked as a specialist in structural fatigues or fractures, Eastlake says that it's always been his impression that operational-life predictions need to be done mathematically. Furthermore, critical pieces of these calculations have to be based on actual aircraft testing. When an aircraft reaches that mathematically calculated point, then it needs to be taken out of service.
It's also part of Eastlake's understanding that extensions of aircrafts' operational lives have been a possibility for years, although they are rare. The main reason for this is that the inspection schedules become too expensive.
As some media outlets reported, FAA estimates that its proposal would cost the industry $360 million. But left out of those accounts is the fact that these costs would be spread over 20 years. The agency also states that "the present value benefits" of the proposal will total $809 million due to accident prevention and a reduction in unscheduled maintenance and repairs, also accrued over the same 20-year time period. Moreover, out of the $360 million in total costs, only 10 percent of that would be incurred by airplane manufacturers. The remainder would be borne by operators.
Normally, one would assume that the $360-million figure should be subtracted from the $809-million figure to arrive at a total $449 million economic benefit over the next two decades. FAA did not respond to Air Safety Week's requests for clarification.
Another part of the NPRM that deserves a public airing, Eastlake says, would enhance current regulations, which only require that manufacturers analyze the fatigue-based operational life of a part that has a single flaw or a single crack. FAA now has proposed a similar but more detailed analysis, with the assumption that one part can have more than one crack.
The full NPRM is in the April 18 Federal Register (FR Doc. 06-3621; Docket No. FAA-2006-24281) starting on p. 19928. It also can be downloaded at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fedreg/frcont06.html.
>>Contacts: Jim Hall, Hall and Associates, (202) 312-0600; Chuck Eastlake, Embry-Riddle, (386) 226-6000; Walter Sippel, FAA, (425) 227-2774
When Safety Information Doesn't Get to Operators
In its April 18 proposal on widespread fatigue damage in transport planes (see accompanying story), FAA says that design approval holders (DAHs) sometimes don't release data in a timely matter so airlines can efficiently respond to safety regulations. FAA gives five historical examples of this, which are reprinted below.
Thrust reversers, where it took 10 years to develop some service information airworthiness directive-related items;
Class D to Class C cargo conversions, where one type certificate (TC) holder did not develop the necessary modifications in time to support operator compliance and where several operators were unable to obtain timely technical support and modification parts from supplemental TC holders;
The Reinforced Flight Deck Door Program, where most operators had substantially less than the one-year compliance time originally anticipated because of delays in developing and certifying the new designs;

Stilly Valley sends two to minors tournament quarterfinals
By DANIELLE SZULCZEWSKI
Marysville Globe Sports Reporter
June 23, 2009 · 10:20 AM
MILL CREEK — Both Stilly Valley Little League teams advanced out of pool play to qualify for the single-elimination bracket in the Mill Creek minors tournament.
With an 11-2 win over Mill Creek West on June 20, the Stilly Valley Bombers won what might have been their biggest morale victory of the tournament.
"Mill Creek having gone to the Little League World Series, we always get a little nervous," said manager Bob Bergley.
Despite trailing 1-0 after the first inning, Stilly Valley proved their solid hitting and smart base running skills by bouncing back with two runs in the first inning. Mill Creek rallied with an inside the park home run in the top of the third inning, but Stilly Valley pitcher Isaiah Raether mixed up his pitches and foiled Mill Creek for the better part of the game. They would not score again.
That wouldn't be the case for Stilly Valley, which added another run in the bottom of the third, as a Mill Creek throwing error cost the defense an out at first base and a run by Cameron Ferreira. In the fourth inning, Stilly Valley continued to extract runs from Mill Creek errors, scoring six more runs. Brandon Tucker scored the first of the six, taking home on a wild pitch. Jake Russell batted in two more with a single. He and Drew Bryson scored home on a two-run double by Ferreira. Another pass ball gave the slugger his second run of the game.
Raether and Brandon Tucker both scored in the fifth inning, but the boys fell an out short of 10-running Mill Creek, instead closing out the game in the top of the sixth.
Raether pitched a complete game for Stilly Valley, including three of his 10 strikeouts coming in the sixth inning to prevent a Mill Creek rally.
The game was neither Stilly Valley's narrowest nor widest margin of victory.
For the distinction of the narrowest win, one need only look the day before as Stilly Valley rallied to defeat Mukilteo 8-7.
"We were down by seven runs and came back to win," said Bergley, who added that the team's key to victory was never giving up. "They were always in it. They believed in themselves and we believed in them."
The Bombers improved to 3-0 with a 21-11 win over South Everett.
With the tournament's No. 4 seed, they played the Pacific Rebels June 23 after the Globe and Times went to press. The tournament bracket is updated often and available online at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rdXj2x1MkOIhF80Z1OgC_iA.
Stilly Valley No. 2 earns minor
tournament berth
Bouncing back from a 13-6 loss to Pacific No. 2, the second Stilly Valley minors team earned a No. 7 seed into the minors tournament.
The boys won their next two games, beating Stanwood Camano 14-4 on June 20 and North Snohomish 12-2 on June 21 to qualify for the elimination bracket.
They earned a first-round game against South Snohomish on June 24 at 5 p.m. at Freedom Field in Mill Creek. The winner advances to the semifinals. If both Stilly Valley teams win, they'll play each other for a chance at the tournament championship.
Marysville teams eliminated from minors tournament
Both Marysville teams bumped up against some tough teams in the minors tournament at Mill Creek, failing to qualify out of their pools for the elimination bracket.
The Marysville Americans wound up 0-3. They fell 10-5 to Pacific Big Blue in their tournament opener June 17 and trailed by two runs in their next two losses when the game ended. They fell 5-3 to South Everett No. 2 and 9-7 to South Snohomish, their pool's undefeated team.
The Marysville Nationals won one game, defeating North Everett 15-1. But they lost their first two, 11-3 to tournament No. 1 seed Mill Creek East on June 19 and 6-2 to the Pacific Rebels, both of whom advance to the bracket.

Russell Brand, Jack Black, Will Ferrell and Jason Segel are playing out their Disney Park fantasies, transforming into the roles of fabled Disney characters as part of the ongoing "Let the Memories Begin" celebration — and we're behind the scenes with the stars as they're shot by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz!
Video: Olivia Wilde Channels 'Snow White"s Evil Queen
In the two new Disney Dream Portraits, Black, Ferrell and Segel portray the Hitchhiking Ghosts from Disney's landmark Haunted Mansion attraction (the first time Disney characters created for theme parks have been included in the campaign). The tagline of their image reads, "Where you can go on the ride of your afterlife." Brand portrays Peter Pan's nemesis Captain Hook, narrowly escaping the jaws of the crocodile who has chased him for years. His tagline reads, "Where every moment leaves you hungry for more."
"There are similarities between me and Captain Hook in that I am an Eaton-educated, piratical buccaneer living on the high seas, stealin' and a-robbin' and loathing the perpetual innocence and childhood of Pan, Peter Pan – ooh, how I hate him!" jokes Brand. "And as for that crocodile that ate my hand, I'm fuming!"
Meanwhile, Black, Ferrell and Segel got a kick out of their ghostly duds and elongated hitchhiker thumbs. "I've had this poster on my wall since I was 15 years old," says Jason of the Haunted Mansion ghosts. "I was really honored and excited when I found out we were going to do this – and with two of the best dudes of all time."
Video: Russell Brand Urges 'Compassion' for Drug Addicts
The new images by Annie Leibovitz and Disney Parks premiere as a special insert in fall issues of GQ, O – The Oprah Magazine, People, People En Español, Vanity Fair, Real Simple, Essence, and InStyle.

Teachers all over the country are experiencing a similar phenomenon in their classrooms – spring fever. Just about the time spring break rolls around kids begin to think about summer and stop thinking about school. Unfortunately, this is the time of year when standardized testing and final assessments take place, so it's no time to mail it in. In this post we'll discuss strategies for keeping your child focused to finish the school year strong.
At home you're probably feeling this as well. It gets harder to get your children up in the morning and to get them to focus on doing their homework. Now imagine the frustrations that the teachers are facing when they have 20 or more kids all struggling to focus. By April, it has been a long school year and kids are tired of schoolwork, but in most systems there is still a lot of work to be done. It is a particularly frustrating time for schools because their biggest academic assessment each year for No Child Left Behind happens in the spring. Here are a few tips to help keep your child focused and finish strong:
- Keep your routines. We are all creatures of habit and sticking to a well-established routine is one key to a smooth-running household.
- Send your child to school. Things can come up in the spring and it can be tempting to let your child lay out of school here and there. The more you do this, the more your kids will want to stay out, and a vicious cycle ensues. Send them to school and you send a strong message to your children about keeping their obligations.
- Remember bedtime. With the days getting longer, the evening can sneak up on you pretty quickly and it might seem earlier than it really is. In concert with routines, keep an eye on the clock and make sure your kids get their normal night of sleep.
- Get your kids outside. Playing in the yard or with the neighborhood kids is a way to burn off that energy and buy you some peace and quiet in the afternoons. Use the warm weather and longer days to your advantage. Join them for some family fun and fitness.
- Openly plan your summer vacations and fun. If your children have something to look forward to upon completion of the school year, it could sustain them through the rest of the year and give them something to work towards.
- Be supportive of your teachers and school. Teachers are most effective when they have the full support and backing of parents, and this time of year is even more critical to have that cooperation. Have your child do their homework and study for upcoming tests. Keep the lines of communication open and be involved whenever you can as a parent.
- Use praise, rewards and incentives liberally. Children respond very favorably when appropriate levels of incentive are given for doing the right things. When you catch your child doing something good, or getting compliments from their teacher, or bringing home good grades, let them know you appreciate it.
Keeping up the intensity can have more than just psychological benefits. Perhaps a grade moves from a "B" to an "A" or, going the opposite direction, a class is failed by coasting at the end of the year. For high schoolers, this can be significant. In the case of my oldest son, his act of finishing strong his senior year moved him from #2 to #1 in class ranking and earned him an additional scholarship. With active, intentional parenting, you can help your child finish strong and fight spring fever.
Question – Is your case of spring fever rubbing off on your child?

I think you need to do a list of things you will save on the faq system, like question, answer, category, date and time, status, count of views, etc.
With this list already done then you can think about the database structure.
With the database structure already done then you can think how to do the forms or programs in MS Access.
POSTED: Jun 29, 2011 3:47 PM (GMT)
and I suggest you add capability for LOTS of keywords. After all, it is the looking up feature that would be helpful. As opposed to what I see all too often in FAQs which is just a list of some questions that may or may not actually be helpful.
Approach this as you would any design, just as Mario suggests.

orchestral pop, lounge pop mellow core
The EP from Brooklyn's own ARMS is another FTW from the "nu-gaze" wave. It is an album as sophisticated as Sufjan Stevenes and as spirited as Sonic Youth. Lead vocalist and guitarist, Todd Goldstein began writing music under the name ARMS in 2004. After releasing a solo album "Kids Aflame" in 2008, Todd recruited Tlacael Esparza to play drums and Matty Fasano to play bass and sing along under the same name. The trio's new EP is made up of five refreshing, romantic tracks filled with droning rifts, introspective lyrics and echoy vocals that will be a part of their upcoming full-length album tentatively called "Summer Skills." The lovely lo-fi songs are non-confrontational but holistically downbeat. The kind of complex and inspiring tunes you'd want to play in your room on a rainy day when you're tired of listening to the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Download their EP for free, here (http://www.armsarms.com/songs/arms_ep.zip) and turn the volume up on Heat & Hot Water. - CBM
"Uptempo" and "Pop" are by themselves two concepts that - in the business of being an indie band - can take you quite far; but if on top of that you add to the equation also comparisons to The Smiths, then the hype can get out of control. Brooklyn's Drowners have more than one similarity with Morrisey's act, and although they will surely feel belittled by such comparison, they should not, because no artists really managed to be The Smiths' worthy musical heir yet (like, for example, XTC were for The Beatles, Robin Hitchcock for Syd Barrett, and The Strokes for Lou Reed - uhm, maybe...).
The band's 3 songs debut EP features the remarkable single "Between Us Girls" (streaming below) which immediately throws us back to the days of "Meat is Murder," with the electric guitar alternating between jangly parts and arpeggios, and Welsh frontman Matt Hitt singing semi-melancholically about some girls' hair length - rather than about how big they are... The edge is slightly punkier, while the songwriting reveals an almost clinical concision (the song clocks in just under 2 minutes, with the first chorus coming in after 26" - A&R allergic to intros will dig that).
The second song, "You've Got it All Wrong," beats a similar musical path, tackling the infinite well of inspiration that (for Brits) is life at the pub, with the difference of a slower bridge, which acts as a breather for the final chorus. Final track "A Shell Across the Tongue" is the punkier of the bunch, but also the one with the least memorable melody.
This is obviously a band with enormous songwriting potential. If they'll manage to write songs as good as these and integrate their influences in a more mature and personal sound, the world can be theirs. - PDG
