London: Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney and defender Nemanja Vidic should be fit for the Premier League leaders` trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, manager Alex Ferguson said.
Rooney has been sidelined since injuring his ankle against West Bromwich Albion on New Year`s Day, while captain Vidic was rested in last week`s 1-0 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup.
"We have Wayne and Nemanja training, they should be fit for Sunday," Ferguson told a news conference at United`s training ground on Friday.
"Edwin Van der Sar is a possible, he should be training today, so really going into such a big game we have a good squad available to us, which is nice. We`ve had a week`s rest, as have Tottenham, and it should be a really fantastic game."
Goalkeeper Van der Sar has been suffering from flu for the past two weeks and if he has not sufficiently recovered Tomasz Kusczak is likely to continue to deputise.
The trip to White Hart Lane is widely seen as unbeaten United`s biggest challenge so far this season. Fourth-placed Spurs are eight points behind the leaders.
Tottenham midfielder Gareth Bale is fit after suffering a back spasm that forced him off in their defeat at Everton while central defender Younes Kaboul returns from suspension.
"Gareth has missed a couple of days training but he should be okay," Redknapp told reporters on Friday. "We`re in good shape. We`ve pretty much a full squad."

NAPA, Calif. (KABC) --A home was knocked off of its foundation in a neighborhood that was hit hard by Sunday's 6.0 earthquake in Napa.
Neighbors said the quake was the scariest experience of their lives. The foundation of Rudy Garcia's home moved 6 feet up, and came to rest up against a Ford truck. Without it, the whole house would have tipped over.
Garcia was asleep at the time.
"Mother nature was pretty mean," he said. "It was a very scary experience. It was like hang on for dear life because things were falling and I could hear things crashing."
Garcia sustained minor injuries while rushing outside to turn off the power, but is OK.
"I feel very fortunate, very, very fortunate," he said.
Down the street, power crews worked on the Jacque family home. Their chimney came crashing down in the quake.
"It was shaking so hard, we were getting out of bed and getting thrown back into the bed," said Wendy Jacque. "It sounded like, more than a freight train, like my house was falling down. I actually thought my house is falling down. It was the scariest thing I ever experienced," said Wendy Jacque.
"We just held onto each other until we could get out of bed," said Dave Jacque. "All of our glassware came out of the cupboards. The chimney fell right between the two cars. It was crazy."

I have the honour of running this month's philosophy carnival which is out on 8th January- so I need some of your most eloquent posts- there is a submission form here and you just go down and click through to philosophy carnival and submit- or you can even email me it at the email address in my profile. Anyway anyone is welcome to submit- I'm not a philosopher so anyone can submit no matter what your qualifications- no matter what your expertise- anything is acceptable, though it has to be vaguely philosophical (writing about how George Bush is thick is not philosophical unless you point out he misquoted Descartes at the same time!). Anyway send me stuff, and I'm bound to include things like the recent debates on God at the imagined community and other blogs- but there may be things I've missed so send it in.
In the spirit of Spinoza, go forth and philosophise and bring me back the results.

Villagers in a remote Cumbrian community are taking the unusual step of installing their own next-generation broadband infrastructure, it has been reported.
Alston Moor described by locals as being 'England's last wilderness' is to be hooked up to high-speed broadband after locals decided to dig their own trenches and lay the necessary cables.
The Times reports how broadband speeds of up to 20Mb will be available in the area within months, eventually rising to 100Mb.
Community development worker Daniel Heery, 38, started the project in 2002 after BT decided it was "unviable" to provide basic broadband access to the area.
He helped establish Cybermoor, the UK's first broadband co-operative, initially seeking government funding and the help of local people.
Using rudimentary equipment, cottages which did not even have a phone line were able to access up to 0.2Mb broadband, rising to 10Mb as the project ensued.
Mr Heery explained: "It cost about £350 per household for the equipment and £65 for the connection."
Fast-forward to 2009, and Alston Moor could be showing the way for other broadband 'not-spots' around the UK.
Last week, Plymouth Chamber of Commerce chief executive David Parlby claimed that next-generation broadband is crucial to the city's future, as reported by the Plymouth Herald.

After the 2012 election, conservatives in Congress will likely again be on the ascendency. And if Mitt Romney wins the presidency, conservatives will not have a veto threat hanging over their heads. But as a new generation of conservatives and Republicans ascend on Capitol Hill, The Heritage Foundation President Ed Feulner, who has written a new book, The American Spirit: Celebrating the Virtues and Values that Make Us Great, has advice for Republicans so they do not repeat the mistakes from the last decade when many came to change Washington and were instead changed by Washington.
First, Feulner said Republicans should remember that "people are policy" and exhaustively search to find the best and most talented people that will help advance conservatism.
Feulner told Breitbart News that Republicans must 'make sure the people who are grounded in best principles" play key roles in expressing and implementing ideas and policies.
Second, Feulner said Republicans should not "make perfect the enemy of the good" and realize they can advance the ball down the field by proverbially taking 80 percent of the loaf and then coming back later for the other 20 percent instead of walking away from negotiations because they could not get 100 percent of the loaf at once.
Third, Feulner said Republicans should be reminded that "there are no permanent victories in Washington" and "no permanent defeats."
"You always have to keep fighting," Feulner said.
Feulner cited the Law of the Seas treaty that Donald Rumseld and Ronald Reagan's former Attorney General Ed Meese opposed 30 years ago.
"The darn thing is coming back again and it makes no more sense now than it did then," Feulner said. "You know things like that down, you have to be ready to knock them down time and time again."
Most importantly, though, Feulner said that too many Republicans came to drain the Washington swamp and saw the swamp as a hot tub instead.
"This place is not a hot tub, it's a set of problems being imposed on the rest of country," Feulner said, citing all the instances of crony capitalism and government subsidies being doled out as evidence of a government that has forgotten that its "primary responsibility is to ensure the rule of law is there for every Ameican internally and the country is protected [from external threats]."
Feulner said when government "decides what kind of milk kids are served in lunch programs" or allows people to misuse food stamps, it is a sign of a government straying from its limited role in society.
"The whole system is twisted and out of control," Feulner said.
For the new generation of conservatives, Feulner said conservatives need to help "add some more spine to our own troops down here" to make sure they are willing to cut spending and "go back to basic principles of the constitution" even if it means they will only be in Washington for one term.
Feulner said, though, that "most of the time," the American people will reward conservative politicians who stick to their principles and live up to their promises in Washington.

We have experience in a wide range of sectors. Details of these sectors and our approach can be found listed below:
+ Education +
At the heart of all vibrant and healthy communities is education, whether it occurs in the workplace, home, public realm or in schools and colleges. The challenge is to provide effective architectural solutions for all these different learning environments.
Our track record in delivering award-winning education buildings with knowledge imported from our other sectoral experience, enables us to offer responsive and unique design options, supporting the diverse needs of this sector.
+ Financial +
Financial institutions need to demonstrate to both shareholders and management that projects attain best-in-class sector benchmarking.
We have gathered benchmark data from our wide experience internationally across the financial sector to develop intelligent tools which can both predict space requirements and provide the context of background sector metrics.
+ Health +
Health provision and aspiration is constantly evolving, demanding that the built environment is flexible enough to adapt to constant change and innovation.
We provide award-winning patient-focused environments for these evolving healthcare requirements by harnessing the best from our experience in a wide range of building types. We have created environments across the healthcare spectrum in both the public and private sectors.
+ Hospitality & Leisure +
This sector is about providing desirable environments in which people choose to spend their precious leisure time. For the developer or operator this means understanding a sophisticated and demanding clientele and then through good design, encouraging return visits.
Our role as designers is to imbue these environments with a sense of place and to create memorable destinations.
+ Legal +
The practice of law is changing as the variables of demographics, competition, technological innovations, global service and increased mobility are impacting the profession. While law firms share industry sector challenges there are clear opportunities to develop client-specific workplace solutions to differentiate the firm from their competitors.
We have designed and delivered over 1.6 million sq ft for a range of UK and US legal occupiers over the last 12 years. Our extensive knowledge and experience of the working practices and trends pertaining to the legal sector has enabled us to deliver strong, dynamic real estate strategies and working environments for our clients.
+ Listed Buildings & Conservation +
Re-use of existing buildings makes sense: it is sustainable, economically advantageous and reinforces a sense of place.
We bring together a wide range of historic building design skills with a contemporary and pragmatic approach to architecture, and have built an excellent working relationship with local and national conservation authorities in the UK and overseas.
Director, Nick Hirst was awarded the Lethaby Scholarship from an international shortlist in 1999, spending a year studying traditional building techniques for the repair of historic fabric, and the introduction of contemporary architecture into historic contexts on site around the UK.
+ Media +
A successful media workplace must energise and inspire a diverse workforce of creatives, designers, journalists, analysts and engineers, enabling them to collaborate and work together productively in a 24/7 environment.
It is essential to get under the skin of an organisation to understand their ethos, drivers and ambitions in order to design a workplace unique to them that will reflect these values and goals.
+ Office Space +
Our waking time is mainly divided between home and office. We need to take as much care in the design and choice of our workplaces as we would with our own home, in order to create environments appropriate for all the different activities that take place there.
Our expertise in both the design of speculative office buildings and in the fit-out of office space for major occupiers across many business sectors, enables in-house knowledge transfer that informs our new office designs at planning stage. We have a long track record of new build developer schemes, headquarters buildings and business space, in their refurbishment and alteration, and in the creation of workplaces for occupiers, winning many BCO, Agents and other industry awards along the way.
+ Public Sector +
Many buildings are inefficient in space utilisation, energy performance and fitness for purpose. Against a backdrop of tighter public sector finances it can still make economic sense to review occupational strategies and rationalise the use of space.
Our combined workplace and strategic masterplanning expertise can resolve site, spatial and budget issues to deliver sustainable and flexible workplaces that improve staff efficiency and morale while also improving services to the public.
+ Residential +
The design of apartments or houses requires a knowledge and understanding of the target market whether that is a tenant, a first-time buyer or an oligarch.
We are experienced in the vast spectrum of residential accommodation, understanding both the rules and regulations that influence it and lifestyles that will shape it, from social housing through to penthouses.
+ Retail & Regeneration +
Many towns which appear to have all the necessary ingredients for a successful town centre are undermined by vacant units, absence of some key major brands and their retail footfall seems to be leaking elsewhere.
We are the market leader in developing attractive and effective design solutions that unlock the potential of existing town centres and improve their standing in the regional retail hierarchy. We focus not only on the buildings but on the spaces framed by them: we create distinctive and memorable places which build upon and enrich the existing character of the town.
+ Store Design +
Good retail design creates the environment in which retailers can best display their goods and brand and customers can enjoy their shopping experience.
We have expertise in the design and delivery of award-winning major shopping centres and urban malls in the UK and overseas. For major brands we create new concepts and deliver their established fit-out designs globally.
+ Student Residential +
Universities are increasingly unable to meet the demand for student accommodation in a burgeoning higher education sector. Governments funding constraints and restrictive city centre campuses have opened the market to private sector involvement to meet this demand.
We are leaders in the design of these privately funded halls of residence on well-placed sites that are able to offer a wider variety of accommodation types in secure and self-contained environments.
+ Transport +
Public transport is at the heart of all planning policy, whether at local, regional or national level. It enables sustainable development planning and it is unsurprising that rail passenger growth targets are constantly being revised upwards.
We are currently designing a new major station at London Bridge, one of the most complicated transport interchanges in Europe, to cope with the increased capacity for trains and passengers. Our expertise has enabled us to advise Crossrail on the oversite development potential above several of their proposed central zone stations and access sites, while our expertise in the design of major bus station interchanges underpins many of our larger town centre regeneration projects.
+ Urban Design +
Good places enrich our lives and lift the spirit. People are then attracted to live, work and spend leisure time there, creating mixed and sustainable communities. Good urban design is about making sense of the places between buildings as well as the buildings themselves.
We can provide an integrated service that combines robust contextual analysis with architectural design and planning expertise to deliver successful outcomes for both clients and local communities.

Mar 19, 2013 (Middlesboro Daily News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- It's time for the 44th Annual Roho Fishing Tournament. Roho members are now selling tickets for the annual fishing tournament, which is a charitable fundraiser. The proceeds from the tournament are used for the group's annual Christmas shopping spree for underprivileged children.
The tournament will be held at Beach Island Resort and Marina/Bubba Brews Sports Pub and Grill. The event is scheduled May 4 and May 5. On May 4, the event will take place from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. On May 5 the event will be held between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The club has set a goal of $45,000. Reaching the goal would allow the club to send 250 children on a Christmas shopping spree. Each child would receive $150 to spend.
Tickets can be purchased at the following locations: Arnold Athletics, Beach Island Marine, East End Pawn Shop, Eddie Beeler, First State Financial, Hillcrest Lanes, Imperial Bait and Tackle, Jim Brown Supply, Kenneth Wilson Auto, Larry Carter -- LMU Communications, Rusty Peache -- LMU Communications, Long's Pic-Pac, Lost Creek Campground, Pappy's, Raymond Caylor, Rigsby Bait and Tackle, Shylock's Pawn Shop, Signs and Trucks Accessories, State Electric, Tri-State Outfitters, Tuttle's Grocery or through any Roho member.
People and organizations can also support the group by sponsoring a child for the shopping spree. This can be done for $150 (30 tickets).
During last year's shopping spree, 250 children from the tri-state area got a chance to enjoy the event. Each child was given $150 to spend- $40 for toys and $110 for clothing. The children are chosen from 22 schools by their teachers and principals each year.

Marketers Are Never Gonna Dance Again, Thanks to Google
and Jessica E. Vascellaro
Some people go to conferences for the networking, others go for the keynote session and still others, apparently, go for the dancing. Not this year.
One of the highlights of the annual Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose, Calif., has been Google's party, known as "Google Dance," at its Mountain View headquarters. The search giant canceled it this year, however, citing cost-cutting efforts.
"Like most companies are doing these days, we've been looking carefully at our expenses and are being more mindful about how we spend our money," Google spokesman Matt Furman said. "Though we've enjoyed hosting the Google Dance in conjunction with SES in past years, we've decided not to host it this year."
The event was steeped in lore. It drew its name from what webmasters used to call the period when Google made major updates to its algorithm. Since results would often shuffle around dramatically, they called it the Google Dance, but the terminology was phased out years ago as Google started updated its engine much more frequently and seamlessly.
The name lived on as a party — a conference networking reception on steroids that was also attended by throngs of Googlers. Attendees were bused over from the San Jose Convention Center to Google's headquarters. Last year's event, the seventh annual, had a "Glow in the Dark" theme. Attendees played volleyball, decorated their own cupcakes and sat on glowing green, red, yellow and blue furniture.
"It's like 15,000 college kids having a gigantic frat party," said Andreas Ramos, a Palo Alto, Calif., marketer who attended Google Dance in years prior. The highlights for him, however, were the conversations he struck with engineers from AdWords, Google Maps and other products, who gave tips and answered questions.
He's not the only disappointed would-be partygoer. "It was just the marquee event of the summer," said Larry Chiang, another Google Dance regular. "It's not like Google's not making money. It's having a great year. The fact that it's not opening up their campus — it's a fundamental shift in the way that Google used to be cool but now is corporate."
Michael Gray, a Wantagh, N.Y., search-engine-optimization consultant, said many of the 2008 attendees knew that it would be Google's last. "It's always fun to go to the Googleplex," he said, but of the cancellation, "it's not entirely shocking."
"I understand why people are upset. It's one of the things to do when you come to SES," said Jacob Morgan, principal of Mighty Mouth Media. He understands the cost-cutting rationale, he said, but added that Google Dance facilitated partnerships and job hunts in addition to the partying. "I think it could've been a good morale booster."

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Davis Love III's biggest opponent these days may be his physical therapist because it certainly wasn't TPC Sawgrass on Saturday, at least not for nine holes.
Love, the only two-time champion in The Players field, is making his first start on the PGA Tour since neck surgery in February. He birdied three of first five holes and turned in 32.
Even with closing bogeys at Nos. 17 and 18 the hard part of his day remained, an hour-and-a-half session with his therapist. It's not the pain of therapy, however, it's the ongoing give and take as he eases his way back into Tour life.
When asked about his upcoming schedule – a busy stretch that currently includes a 36-hole British Open qualifying event in Dallas on May 20, the Colonial and Memorial tournaments and another 36-hole qualifier for the U.S. Open on June 3 – Love said it's a work in progress.
"I'm negotiating with my therapist right now," he smiled.
Love said his neck has fully healed but it will take time to regain the strength in his left arm and he still has tingling in his left index finger that he said will probably never go away.
"I'm not there yet," he said following his third-round 70 that left him at 4 under par and tied for 28th when play was suspended by an approaching storm. "I couldn't play next week. I just wouldn't be strong enough."

"The core of our insight [as Reform Jews] is that serious Jewish study inevitably leads to the soup kitchen; that serious prayer, among other vital things, is a way of preparing to do battle with injustice, that social justice without being grounded in text, without a sense of God's presence, is ephemeral and unsustainable. The heart of the argument is that there is no such thing as 'Social Action Judaism,' that the thread of social justice is so authentically and intricately woven into the many-colored fabric we call Judaism that if you seek to pull that thread out, the entire fabric unravels, that the Judaism that results is distorted, is neutered, is rendered aimless." – Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism
To be a Reform Jew is to hear the voice of the prophets in our head; to be engaged in the ongoing work of
tikkun olam; to strive to improve the world in which we live. Join Brattleboro Area Jewish Community,
Congregation Shir Heharim in its efforts to repair the world.
You can make a difference this winter! BAJC's Social Action Committee is holding its first annual sock drive. Sock a homeless person this season!
Did you know that socks are the most needed and least donated item to the homeless in the winter months? Many of us don't take the time to think about homeless people walking all day, but for the most part that is exactly what they do. They need socks. Lots of socks.
Socks will be given out each month when BAJC serves at the Overflow Shelter. Socks will be collected & distributed through April of 2017.
We are also looking for folks that would be willing to keep a drop-box for socks in their local establishments!
Thank you in advance for helping out with this mitzvah (good deed)!
Brattleboro Area Jewish Community's Social Action Committee, led by Janet Athens, is helping to address the needs of our area's homeless population. BAJC provides a monthly meal to the overflow shelter between the months of November and April . The coordinator sends out a list of meal components and families or individuals sign up to bring these to the overflow shelter one evening per month. The list is organized online, and the foods and supplies are brought ready to serve. People are needed to serve the food and help clean up afterwards.
Non-perishable goods and personal care items are always needed and welcome at the Groundworks Drop-In Center at 60 South Main Street. In addition, boots, socks, jackets, long underwear, gloves and hats for both adults and children are needed, especially in the cold winter months, along with sleeping bags, blankets, sheets, and pillows. If you can't get to the drop-in center, bring items to our synagogue and will relay them to the drop-in center. Please be sure clothing and linens are clean and in good repair. You can join Janet Athens' crafting group at 1:00 on the first Sunday of each month to make hats, scarves, and blankets for people in need.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars
It was hot while it lasted, like a sexapades of a woman in their holidays. There was no 'friendlish' connection other than the lust and sex, but hey! it's erotica~ so i let it pass.
I guess there is a hint of fire beneath the text. Lit specifically for those widows and broken-hearted girls. There's plenty more fish in the sea, and surely pleasure is a girl's second best friend.
If you secretly (or even publicly) known for your Mr.Darcy Syndrome. Well, you might like to have a taste of this book.

If you are still using a standard 2 button mouse to play your games, you are years behind my friend, and you need to upgrade to a real deal mouse for a real gamer. Here are my top 5 choices for the mouse you should be using.
Logitech MX 518
#1. The Logitech MX 518 High Performance Optical (Metal)
The Logitech MX 518 is probably the best gaming mouse, and best priced mouse available on the market. I upgraded from the Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse to this bad boy and haven't regretted it since. This mouse has everything you need and more to maximize your gaming experience.
#2. The Microsoft SideWinder
The next mouse I recommend is the Microsoft SideWinder. This mouse takes a new look than the standard mouse and delivers an exceptional gaming experience to anyone who buys this mouse. It has several buttons to get the hotkey process in games handled easily and the mouse design is solid and professional. Not to mention you can surprise your friends with this unique looking mouse as well.
#3. Logitech G5 Laser (Blue or Black Available)
This mouse was my favorite for years until the newer Mx 518 came out. The G5 served me well in my last few years of gaming. It features several customizable buttons, a quick DPI swap near the middle scroll, and what some people may overlook; a mesh style housing for your cord. Let me tell you, I got a lot of use out of this particular mouse and if it hadn't been for the way they protected the cord, this mouse would have died a lot earlier than it did on me. This mouse served me well.
#4. SteelSeries Special-Edition World of Warcraft
I don't personally have any experience with this mouse, but if I didn't already have what I think is the best mouse, this would be my #4 choice. This mouse was designed specifically for World of Warcraft gamers.
#5. Logitech G9 Laser Mouse
The Logitech G9, last on my list, but not anything less than you'd expect from a quality Logitech product. This mouse offers exceptional style, precision, and a weight tuning system, similar to the G5, to provide you with a high quality gaming experience.
Well, there you have it. If you still haven't upgraded from your puny 2 button optical mouse yet, do so today! These are all affordable and very effective solutions to getting you the right mouse for your game.

Slim has been a buzz word that began when Apple and Samsung were dueling for the title with the iPhone 4. Then Motorola showed that slim was still powerful with the Droid RAZR. Shortly after that device was released, Huawei debuted the Ascend P1 S earlier this year and out-slimmed the Droid RAZR only to be outdone by the Oppo. Now, it seems that ZTE is jumping into the race and stealing the title with its own ZTE Athena smartphone.
The ZTE Athena clocks in at just 6.2 mm thick. And despite its svelte form factor, the Athena does still manage to pac in quite a few high-end features, such as a 720p HD resolution display, and, according to Engadget, a multi-core ARM Cortex A15 CPU inside. Storage configurations should range all the way up to 64 GB internally, similar to what Apple is offering on the iPhone 4S and Samsung is doing for its Galaxy S III.
The company will reportedly offer several color configurations for the ZTE Athena. The phone, however, has not yet been officially announced by ZTE yet so we don't know what the colors are and what the full specs of the device would be. That said, a leaked image showing the device compared to the Apple iPhone shows a black backside that looks similar to the Kevlar backing that's used by Motorola on the Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR Maxx.
The phone will run Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and will have a custom UI overlay on top.

The Final Batman vs Superman Trailer Is By Far The Best
Matt here,
Earlier today we got a glimpse of the final trailer of Batman vs Superman before it releases on March 25th, 2016. Check it out here!
Now something to note is that Batman has never, in the movies, kicked as much ass as he does in this trailer. It really seems that they want us to believe this will be an even fight even though we know Superman could easily win if he truly wanted to.
So what do you think? What side are you on? Let us know in the comments!

These elegant, frost-white adapters are small, light-weight, energy efficient, and universal. A single adapter fits all common notebooks and also charges almost every other portable device. The mCube adapter is available in a variety of choices for use in the office, car and on flights. At IFA 2010, Innergie will be presenting two world premiers. The mCube Slim, the 2010 iF Design Award honoree, is the world's slimmest, super compact universal AC power adapter. It is 150g light and measures just 18 mm high by 10 cm wide and therefore, smaller than an iPhone. The mCube Slim can charge two units simultaneously: notebook, mobile phone, satnav, iPhone/iPod, PSP, digital cameras and more. The mCube Slim is also suitable and approved for use on flights. Its intelligent switching technology makes it simple to use and completely reliable. The range includes all connections for current notebooks, along with a practical carrying case. The Magic Cable puts an end to tangled adapters, so there is no need to carry around several cables for multiple devices. In addition to a retractable 3-in-1 USB charging cable with foldout mini and micro USB connection options, it has a connection for the iPad, iPod and iPhone, and also synchronizes data for portable devices. Innergie is setting new standards at IFA. As a subsidiary of the world's largest adapter manufacturer, the company has the expertise to continuously perfect and scale down its technology. The remarkable design of all Innergie products is part of the corporate philosophy. This has already won Innergie many accolades, several iF Design Awards and the CES Innovation Prize.

Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of the current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. At American Family Physician, we ask authors to explicitly rate the strength of evidence supporting key recommendations on diagnosis and treatment whenever possible.
We realize there are various rating systems for levels of evidence described in the medical literature. Working with the editors of other leading primary care publications, we have developed a new system that rates the evidence from A to C. We ask that you use this system to rate key recommendations on diagnosis and treatment:
We expect that this system will encourage you to carefully consider the supporting documentation for the key recommendations you make. It may also prompt you to examine additional key sources of evidence-based recommendations, such as those outlined below. During the process of review and editing, our medical editors may ask you to rate certain statements according to this scale. If you have any questions about how to properly use it, please talk with the medical editor assigned to your manuscript.
In general, you should choose approximately three to seven key recommendations for your article. Do not choose statements that merely summarize research findings; choose important clinical recommendations that reflect the best available evidence. At a minimum, the summary table should include the recommendations and references. Comments to justify your choice of references are helpful to the editors.
For more information on how to apply these ratings, please see Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT): A Patient-Centered Approach to Grading Evidence in the Medical Literature, an explanatory article published in the February 1, 2004, issue of AFP, as well as the algorithm for rating the strength of evidence(2 page PDF). You should create a summary table with the recommendations and references for each recommendation.

Are we destroying our own civilization, the most appealing and ethical there has ever been? To say Yes or No, we need to examine the roots of our society, which we've seen are Christianity, optimism, science, economic growth, individualism, and liberalism.
There is a big divide between America on the one hand, where Christianity is flourishing, and Europe and other areas on the other hand, where the churches are increasingly irrelevant. This matters for religion, but perhaps not very much for society. The Christian heritage - individual responsibility and development, self-improvement based on love, and the commitment to equality and compassion - long ago burst the banks of organized religion. The rise and rise of the self-help movement shows that the spirit of Christianity has been widely diffused and deeply impregnated within Western society. I therefore give a green light for today's Western civilization on the issue of Christianity.
The eclipse of optimism is a warning for Western civilization. Only confident and forward-looking civilizations march forward. Optimism is integral to Western success. If optimism does not return, to Europeans as well as Americans, the continued success of the West will be lopsided at best. A flashing yellow light.
Western science, rather weirdly, has forfeited the moral authority enjoyed by earlier and less informed scientists, the confidence that their work revealed a beautifully consistent and meaningful universe. The failing authority of science is another warning, another yellow light. And yet, the laws of nature are few and becoming fewer. There is an underlying logic to the universe - we need a great communicator to make this apparent to all of us non-scientists. At root the universe has simple causes, though complex results.
Economic growth is another issue that appears weaker than it really is. You often hear people say that the baby boomer generation had it easy, and that times are tougher than they were. Certainly there is a structural issue where young people are having opportunity restricted by older citizens, whether trade unions protecting the jobs of their existing (older) members, or pensioners exercising greater voting power. But underlying it all, Western technology and creativity has never been stronger, and the move from centralized mega-corporations to smaller and richer ones, such as Google, Amazon, and Apple, advances both freedom and growth.
No, the problem with growth is that it is too secure. While the West moves to less energy intensive forms of growth - and probably before long to a more relaxed society that is less obsessed with wealth - the rest of the world is still industrializing at a fearsome rate. If there is to be a cataclysmic end to Western civilization, ecological suicide is by far the most likely cause. Another yellow light - flashing strongly.
Like science, the problem is not the reality of individualism, but its perception. Individualism has become so integral to Western civilization - and especially to the English-speaking and Northern European countries, the more successful ones - that the demise of individualism is highly improbable. Our problem is not individualism, but the partial failure to embrace it properly, maturely, socially and altruistically. Even so, there is no green light here. The enemies of individualism, and the genuine difficulties - psychological more than economic - that individualism creates for the less successful members of society, dictate another flashing yellow light.
I've left liberalism to last, because it's here that I detect the greatest vulnerability. We have seen five self-inflicted reverses for Western liberalism - misdirected anti-terrorism, the resurgence of American-led imperialism, the fragmentation and devaluation of democratic politics, the moral emptiness of modern liberalism, and ultra-liberal relativism, which says there is nothing special about Western liberal society after all, and incubates the false victim mentality.
What is most alarming is that today's trends are all reinforcing these problems. As Western societies mature, grow more complex, and more prosperous, power and decision-making in society become more and more devolved, ultimately to the most active and creative individuals within it. This is no bad thing, yet these individuals, for the first time in history, do not comprise a class, a self-conscious elite, or an 'establishment'. They have no common family or social ties, no common ideology, and no common loyalty. Unlike all their predecessors, they do not need these attributes to be successful. And so, by and large, they do not have the values and networks that used to sustain liberal society.
On top of this, the quality and depth of Western liberalism is at an all-time low. Cynicism and apathy towards the political process is fed by the media and politicians are less respected than ever before. Is this cynicism deserved? I do not think so. There were always rogues and predators in the ranks of politicians. They and their flaws are just more evident today. The large majority of politicians are decent people, plying their craft in more and more difficult circumstances, without the support and links to ordinary people who can keep them honest and inspired by what they do. The decline of mass political parties is perhaps the most serious reflection of the decline of liberalism. We desperately need good leaders - leaders who are not only clever and inspiring, but also of golden integrity and decency, people who are genuinely "good". But good leaders come from good followers - the leaders need the followers as much as the followers need the leaders. We need to revive the political process if we are to keep our decent society. And we need a fair proportion of the "best" people - morally and intellectually - to go into politics, which they used to do and do no more.
We come back time and again to the common purpose of members of society. Common purpose ultimately derives from deeply held and often quite submerged beliefs. Our society has real resilience and strengths, but the biggest problem is that idealism is retreating. It is not just that liberalism is so weak and vapid that it is easily violated. The new realists, the cynics and the throng of victims, under-achievers, and the willfully uneducated, are active or passive destroyers not just of liberal ideals, but of all ideals - of the spirit of Christianity, with its restless activism, conscience, and compassion; of the optimistic view of humanity; of confidence in the supreme value of increased knowledge; of the use of economic growth to eliminate hunger, indignity, and want; and of responsible individualism. At the moment, we are harvesting our past heritage, living off and using up the goodwill and human spirit planted by our predecessors.
Civilizations move forward or they move back. They realize dreams or they discard them. Ultimately the West rests on one great idea and one set of actions, one that stands behind and unites the six great strands of Western civilization. The great idea, the common theme, is talking personal responsibility to improve oneself and the world. The West stands for personal responsibility; it stands or falls by personal responsibility. Will it stand or fall?
It is up to all of us. The challenge is not primarily economic; it is personal and spiritual. It is the way we choose to view the world. And yes, in a way it is ideological. Ideas matter. Ideas have consequences. There are good ideas and bad ones. We need to attack the bad ones, the cynicism and irresponsibility of mindless hedonism, the view that there is no purpose to our lives and our civilization. There is a most noble purpose for every life. We just have to find it and live it. This is true in business, in the arts, in caring for the sick and the fragile, in educating ourselves and our people, and even in the devilishly tricky business of communication, ideas, and politics.
Whether it is completed or not, the destiny of the West - springing from its unique ideas, and evident in what it has already substantially attained - is to create a more humane, free and rich civilization, by releasing the hopes, and more importantly, the potential and moral qualities, of all its people; and just conceivably, in the fullness of time, a model attractive enough to excite most of humankind.

This practical guide is an easy A - Z run through of everything you�re going to need on an African safari. From the basic concerns about safety to practical details like what to pack, what accessories are needed, how to stay healthy, and even how to say hello. With this you should be fully prepared for anything the landscape or wildlife can throw at you, including the thieving baboons.
From the wildebeest covered plains of Tanzania to the elephant filled forests of Botswana, safari is the world�s great escape into untouched wilderness. It�s an immersion in the wild, one that takes you away from urbanscapes and into a realm where people are merely visitors. Africa offers one of the world�s final remaining untouched natural landscapes, offering huge areas that have forever been the haven of wild mammals. Going on a safari offers an immersion into this world. It�s far more than sightseeing. On an African safari you feel as if you are part of the landscape. You open your senses to nature in all its drama and charm. It�s something that I first experienced when I was just a child. And it�s something that�s never left me. Because once you�ve been on safari, you�ll want to go again and again.
Understanding safari further can be done through exploring the origins of the term. In Swahili, safari means �long journey,� a reflection of how the experience isn�t just about seeing a few animals. Safari is nothing like a zoo. The animals aren�t in cages. These are wild fenceless landscapes where anything can happen. It�s unpredictable and it�s always intimate. Wild scenes play out just meters from your eyes, like lions taking down zebra or rhinos roaming around waterholes. A safari isn�t about arriving with a tick-list or saying that you saw a few wild animals. It�s about going on a journey through Africa and discovering nature�s unmistakable rhythm.
But with safari there are always so many questions. From the basic concerns about safety - what happens if a hyena comes into the camp? - to practical details like what to pack, what accessories are needed, how to stay healthy, and even how to say hello. This practical A - Z guide is designed to answer all these questions, covering everything you need to know for a safari journey. It�s based on the years of experience I have of going on safari and over 23 years of living in Africa. With this guide I hope you will be fully prepared for landing in Africa and going off on your own safari adventure.

- Does the company have certifications?
You should always look for a certified SEO company to work for you. Only the legit companies can provide your websites with best ranking results and higher return on your investment.

WHAT kind of restaurant is Uwe's in Oyster Bay? It's a puzzlement. The slightly nautical decor with wall hangings of sailing ships and fish suggests a seafood restaurant. But the menu doesn't confirm the nautical theme.
The chef-owner's name, Uwe Dielewicz, sounds German. And there are German dishes: herring salad, schinken and strawberries, smoked goose breast and Vienna rostbraten. But there's no bratwurst, sauerbraten or strudel. In fact, the menu is more French than German. Uwe's is a Continental restaurant with one foot in Germany and one in France.
Don't get too comfortable with the Continental label, though, for the chef jumps to another continent with his use of curry. Indeed, the chef is a free-spirited, risk-taking individualist and his restaurant defies labeling. But his innovation may not always please. Vichyssoise, adorned with no descriptive adjective on the menu, is lightly flavored with curry. It is creamy rich, and even with the unexpected flavor we were delighted with it. But it would be a jolting surprise for a conservative eater expecting a traditional vichyssoise.
The service staff, particularly Uwe's charming wife, does a good job describing dishes and easing some of the surprises. Her description of sauteed shrimp Nis Randers, hot julienne root vegetables topped with sauteed shrimp and a hot curry sauce spicy enough to clear the sinuses, was accurate. The dish was delightful, different and delicious. Spiced beef Devon gets the meal off to a good start. Thin slices of raw beef are placed on a bed of curried root vegetables with a dollop of aioli on top. The blandness of the beef is in counterpoint to the texture and curried spiciness of the vegetables and the robust garlic of the aioli. A more delicate but equally enjoyable starter is the seafood cocktail. Fresh, perfectly cooked seafood in a light Louis dressing is attractively served in a flared champagne glass.
Smoked goose breast, raw, thinly sliced and tasting a lot like ham, is admittedly an acquired taste, one I could acquire quite easily. Smoked trout is as good as you'll find anywhere. Schinken and strawberries, featuring thinly sliced German ham and beautifully ripe berries, form a natural marriage. Sauteed oysters, lightly breaded, served on a bed of shredded lettuce and napped with a light sauce, were ordered on three occasions and pleased everyone who sampled them.Continue reading the main story
Soups are equally fine. The seafood chowder is full of vegetables, seafood and flavor. The oyster bisque is an unusual offering: a tasty brown stock in which two whole oysters are poached. A splash of heavy cream is added and the soup browned under a broiler.
Salad is not the same old thing at Uwe's either. The field salad excelsior is a unique top choice. Mache, a soft, tender spring green, is tossed with grated cheese, slices of avocado and mushrooms in a light vinaigrette. The endive with herb dressing is another one of Uwe's surprises. The dressing was not the vinaigrette we expected but a thick, sweet creamy dressing with onions and pickle relish. The slightly sweet dressing contrasted nicely with the assertive endive, but the person at our table who ordered it didn't care for thick or sweet dressings. A few descriptive adjectives on the menu would have helped.
There are few disappointments among the entrees. The choice is wide enough for everyone to find favorites. Liver lovers will gravitate to the calf's liver Berlinoise: thin slices of shell-pink liver topped with onions, bacon and chopped apple. Uwe's duckling was a duck lover's delight: crisp skin, succulent flesh and a bigarade sauce tangy with orange zest. A good beef stroganoff is served with excellent homemade noodles. Those favoring fish will find a properly cooked Dover sole. Lenden roast, tender rare roast beef in a fine bordelaise sauce, is the perfect choice for carnivores.
Uwe's best dessert is the chocolate mousse cake, sinfully rich and not to be missed.
Uwe's has 30 wine selections, starting at $14 a bottle. In addition to the largely German, largely white wine list, there are Swiss and Austrian reds as well as French wines. The house wines at $3 a glass are excellent. The red is a light, dry Austrian; the white, a French country selection.
A three-course meal with wine, tax and tip averages $35 a person. Uwe's Very Good

Color can sometimes describe a mood or a feeling. Color can be simple or complex, subtle or bold but it is always, always, personal.
When I'm in color and design mode I look to many sources for inspiration, not just pictures of rooms or architecture.
Sometimes, something as simple as the patina on an old door handle or a collection of wonderfully faded books. can inspire a complete color palette. or design plan.
I really enjoy (borderline obsessive) Pinterest to collect all my sources of inspiration for my client's projects. I would like to invite you to take a peek at white inspires and excites my senses…

|"safe" access to CouchDB?
|Tue, 03 Feb 2009 07:49:19 GMT
I'm interested in finding out how to provide "safe" access to CouchDB from untrusted (and possibly malicious) code. What can I do to allow queries, but make sure that no destructive activities (including major denials of service) are allowed? I have a Rack application that will filter all requests from the untrusted code. It can recognize and deny some kinds of requests (eg, PUT, DELETE) pretty trivially. It can also put a tag on any requests it allows, flagging them as untrusted. With a bit more effort, it should be possible to authenticate the untrusted request as coming from a particular user. This might allow CouchDB's security framework to come into action. Obviously, I'm still groping about for ideas here. Any clues or other helpful comments would be greatly appreciated. -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development

Karl Denson's Second Dance Lesson
Karl Denson has an amazing band in Tiny Universe, but at the time he made
"Dance Lesson #2," he was between players. So rather than be thwarted in the
studio, he went in with drummer Zak Najor from Denson's days with the Greyboy
Allstars, Downtown New York ill-bient mixmaster DJ Logic, Medeski, Martin &
Wood bassist Chris Wood, innovative guitarist-bassist Charlie Hunter, Marc
Ribot's Los Cubanos Prostizos percussionist EJ Rodriguez, the great blues
organist Ron Levy and legendary guitarist Melvin Sparks and his
soul-jazz-groove twin on the organ, Leon Spencer. The resulting disc is a
booty-shaking musical monster that just may make jazz snobs take the jam
scene seriously for once. Later this summer, Denson will take Tiny Universe
out on the road in a Further Festival-like tour with Bob Weir & Ratdog,
Rusted Root and String Cheese Incident buddy/bard Keller Williams, with
whom he promises to jam frequently. I spoke with the 25-year jazz veteran
about his formative years in Southern California listening to funk and jazz
and how that was influenced by his tenure with the Greyboy Allstars. We also
chatted about his great new record and his admiration for the jam scene's
loveable, loyal, friendly freaks. Enjoy the following and then check out
*Jazz initially was dance music, then it went through a long period where it
was more about listening than dancing. Comment on how you combine elements of
I like the dancing period. I like what that creates in the audience. I
thought it was time for a change in terms of what jazz musicians were
presenting to an audience, their inability to have girls at their shows
*Comment on how Coltrane and the Joel Dorn catalog of Roland Kirk, Fathead
Newman, Yusef Lateef were influences on you, as well James Brown, Sly Stone
and Ohio Players. What did you get from all of them that you still use?*
The Ohio Players and James Brown and Sly, that was all the stuff that I
heard in my environment naturally. I couldn't really avoid that. I grew up
loving that stuff and going to parties and hearing that music. That was party
music. Then I became a jazz listener through my brother. It just caught me.
So I grew up in this paradox. With the bands that I played with, I really
wanted to play some of that Joel Dorn/Atlantic kind of funk, but nobody
really was interested in it so that was kind of my own little retreat. It's
all there. That was a really formative time of my life. It's a funny thing
because sometimes I'll write a tune and years later, I'll pull out an old
record and I'll hear something that I can tell was a direct influence on
certain tunes. I think it's all there. That's why I continue to try to listen
to a lot, a lot music to get more stuff to seep in.
Do you cover any of those acts?
We do a couple of James Brown tunes. We do 'The Grunt,' which is more of
a JBs tune. It's an instrumental. And we do 'Damn Right I'm Somebody.'
They're really Fred Wesley tunes. And we do 'Think' and 'The Big Payback.'
That's one of the greatest tunes ever written. We do quite a few Fathead
tunes about three or four. We do 'Captain Buckles,' 'Missy' and 'Front
Money.' I've still got my trumpet player confused. He can't figure out which
tunes I wrote because he wasn't listening to this kind of music really. Every
once in a while, he'll think a tune is a cover tune and he'll find out it's
my tune. So after a while, he pretty much thought I was writing everything.
What is boogaloo jazz?
Boogaloo is about the late '50s. Dizzy Gillespie is one of the main
architects. After bebop, Dizzy went back to his roots and started studying
the Latin rhythms. He and Eddie Harris and Lee Morgan, who's one of my main
boogaloo influences. It's when the beat straightened out. That was
responsible for a lot of different things.
So it's the post-bebop fusion with Latin, like 'A Night in Tunisia.'
Yeah. That's aiming in that boogaloo direction. I'm glad you said that
because I've been thinking about that. I want to sit down sometime and find
the earliest boogaloo tunes I can find. And that's probably one of them.
Is Rumpwinder' most representative of boogaloo? If so, why?
Yeah for me. That's like Lee Morgan, all those tunes he wrote, like
'Sidewinder' and 'Rump Roller' and 'Cornbread.'
*So it's a cross between 'Rump Roller' and 'Sidewinder.' At that point, did
those guys appeal to kids the way you do?*
They totally did. If you look at jazz documentaries, you see what was
going on with Bird and the bebop era. And then a little bit later, I think it
still had a kid conscience. It had come out of a swing thing so a lot of
those kids were growing up, and it wasn't so much competing with rock 'n'
roll and funk yet. It was definitely the predecessor of all those styles.
*Soundwise, what's the difference between Tiny Universe and the lineup on
'Dance Lesson #2' ?*
At the time I did the record, the Tiny Universe lineup wasn't complete. I
wasn't really happy with my drummer and my bass player. The band hadn't
*You had made a record, but for the next one, things really weren't the way
you wanted them?*
Exactly. That record was made within a few months of putting the band
together, just to get something out there. I was still searching out the
musicians, but I needed to do a new record. So rather than go in the studio
and battle with whatever forces that were going to try to thwart me in the
studio, I just called in the guys that I knew could do the job. As a result,
it's a very different record than the Tiny Universe would have made.
What about now?
It still would have been different. That record was written with the
purposes of simplicity, which is not my natural bent. My next record is going
to be a bit more adventurous in terms of writing.
With Tiny Universe?
It's such an allstar record, what did you like most recording with those cats?
I really liked the ease of the record. I wanted to have this record that
was fairly flat, just straight-forward grooves. I felt like it was really
easy to get that. Just the way everybody plays a groove was the best part of
that whole thing. You could throw out a tune with a little melody and they
put enough of a groove on it where you really know that the melody is
standing up by itself pretty immediately.
Which tune on 'Dance Lesson #2' works best live with Tiny Universe?
'Dance Lesson' works very well with the band and the 'Rumpwinder' works
really well with the band. Both of them get everybody going and the band
feeds off that. And 'Flute Down''s pretty much been a live hit.
*Did you do any of these tunes with Tiny Universe before recording 'Dance
Only the 'Rumpwinder.'
What was 'Dance Lesson #1'?
'Dance Lesson #1' was everything before this. My jazz records and my
Greyboy Allstars stint. That's all kind of getting me to this point.
*Will the Greyboy Allstars ever get back together for a one-off disc and/or
It's a possibility. We talk about it every once in a while. We all still
talk, and we're all really good friends, so it's definitely a possibility.
It's kind of nice that everybody's doing really well on their own so it makes
it more comfortable for the likelihood that we could get back together and do
a record and a short tour.
When was the last time you guys all played together?
Boy. All of us? That was probably in the summer of '98 at North Sea Jazz
Festival in Holland.
*How did the Allstars influence your direction in music? What did you do with
them that you wouldn't be doing now if you hadn't played with them?*
It was a really good lesson in taste. I would be doing pretty much what
I'm doing now, but being with four other musicians that you really
appreciated their taste, I think that molded a little bit of my taste in
terms of musical integrity. There were times when I would maybe go one
direction, maybe a little more this way or maybe a little more this way. From
being in the Allstars and being able to absorb four other great ideas,
leadership qualities, I think I gained a lot from them in that way.
*Most jazz acts beat their heads against the wall trying to sweat out a
following, but some, like you, John Scofield, Medeski, Martin and Wood,
Charlie Hunter, even Joshua Redman, have embraced the jam scene. Why don't
more jazz acts do that and do you think more eventually will?*
I think a lot of them have no idea we're out here, for one thing, or what
is really going on. It's really easy for people, like jazz purists, to think,
'Oh, they're not really playing jazz.' But I think when you realize that John
Scofield is embracing this audience… You know, we've been able get away
with murder for years now. The Allstars were playing Horace Silver tunes.
People were dancing to Horace Silver and Eddie Harris tunes with really great
changes and everything. I think eventually those musicians will come more in
this direction, especially as they see the audience grow because it's a great audience.
What are you looking forward to most with the Rusted Root/Bob Weir tour?
Spending time with my family.
You'll be able to take on them on the road?
Yeah. That's going to be a real easy, kind of relaxing tour with me. I'm
looking forward to hearing some good music. I'm not very familiar with Rusted
Root and Bob Weir. I know I'm looking forward to seeing Keller Williams and
doing some playing with him. I'm hoping to sit in with him.
*That's a perfect example of how you can reach out to that crowd. They're
obviously all rock acts and you're the jazz act on that tour. Comment on how
you'll fit in with that tour anyway.*
I think the cool thing about the jam band scene is it's broken the mold.
There's all these bands of all different types. You go somewhere like Jazz
Fest (New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival) and you can see just about
anything. The same audience is frequenting all the clubs. It used to be
really weird for me. We'd play and everybody'd be all hyped and then next
it'd String Cheese Incident and they're playing a kind of bluegrass-funk. I'd
just be like, 'What the hell is goin' on here? You people are really into
both these kinds of music.' And I thought it was a phase. I was like, 'Man,
these people can't really be relating to what I'm doing,' but, in actuality,
they were. They were totally able to take me and String Cheese and Bob Weir
and whatever in the same breath and just enjoy it for what it is.
*That's the thing that irks me. The jazz purist not only turns their nose up
to non-traditional jazz after 1969, but they turn their nose up to this young
audience that knows so much more about music than they're ever, ever given
credit for. They're just kind of condemned because some of them have
Exactly. I'm not a Deadhead. I didn't grow listening to those guys. When
I listen to music, I appreciate what's good about it. There's a lot of Dead
recordings that I wouldn't listen to and there's a few that I actually would
listen to. I think it's really helpful as a musician to be able to be a
normal person sometimes and just listen to music for what it is and not put
some kind of a value on it other than if it's good or bad.
*It's like Louis Armstrong said. Jazz purists point to Pops as the DNA of
jazz, and he said it best, man: 'If you can put your foot down to it, it's
Exactly. ###

Beans, Beans. They're Good…
We all know the rhyme. Even my kids refuse to take them for lunch at school and I don't blame them. It's because of the curse that I refused to go near them throughout my entire teenage years.
Quite possibly just a myth, we all got over it with this latest batch. I've tried the classic Boston version and never one to be too much into the tomatoey version, I've always been partial to the sweet Canadian maple variety.
However, I'm getting BPA picky and costofevenacanofbeans choosy, so I ventured out for another home try.
At literally pennies for a cup of beans, dried are so the way to go for so many reasons. Cheap yes, but they really aren't as intimidating as one would think. After simply soaking them in water, in the same pot I would later cook them in, they were tender and ready to go into the crockpot in about the same time as it took me to prep and get everything else together!
3 Cups Great Northern Beans, soaked overnight
1 1/2 Tablespoons Oil
1 Small Onion, finely diced (about 1/2 Cup)
1 Apple, peeled and finely diced (about 1 Cup)
1 Cup Ketchup
1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
2 – 3 Cups Water, reserved from the beans
Once the beans have soaked overnight, make sure they still have about 3 inches of water covering them and bring them to a boil in a large stockpot for about 55 minutes or until just tender.
Meanwhile heat the crockpot to high. Add the oil diced onion and apple. Cover and let it begin to cook and soften.
Measure off the ketchup in a large, pourable measuring cup.
Add the mustard, salt, brown sugar and vinegar, stirring to combine.
Once the beans are soft, drain, reserving the liquid.
Add the beans to the crockpot along with the onion and apple.
Pour over the prepared ingredients and the maple syrup.
Add 2 1/2 cups of the reserved bean water and stir to combine well.
Cook on high heat setting for about 5 hours or low for 8 hours until beans are quite soft and very flavourful.
Add more liquid as necessary and adjust salt to taste.

Mmmm….I love beans! Thanks for the recipe–Can't wait to try it!
Great to see you posting again :-)
I was just looking at the white beans in my cupboard today and wondering what to do with them. I thought crockpot, but had yet to decide what to make. Now I know. The beans have begun to soak for tomorrow's dinner. Thanks.
Super! I'd love to know how you enjoy them!
Beans ARE good! We eat them every day. They can cause that problem you mention, more or less depending on the bacteria that inhabit your digestive system. One way to minimize it is to soak the beans and dump the soaking water, then cook them in new water. That's because some of the indigestible sugars that cause the gas (because gut bacteria digest them and gas is a byproduct) leach out into the soaking water. Your recipe looks yummy!
