What Gifting Strategies Are Available to Me?
There are a number of different gifting strategies available for planned giving. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Instead of making an outright gift, you could choose to use a charitable lead trust. With a charitable lead trust, your gift is placed in a trust. The recipient of the gift draws the income from this trust. Upon your death, your heirs will receive the principal with little or no estate tax.
If you prefer to retain an income interest in your gift, you could use a pooled income fund, a charitable remainder unitrust, or a charitable remainder annuity trust. With each of these strategies, you receive the income generated by your gift, and the recipient receives the principal upon your death.
Finally, you could purchase a life insurance policy and name the charitable organization as the owner and beneficiary of the policy. This would enable you to make a large future gift at a potentially low current cost.
The cost and availability of life insurance depend on factors such as age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Before implementing a strategy involving life insurance, it would be prudent to make sure that you are insurable.
As with most financial decisions, there are expenses associated with the purchase of life insurance. Policies commonly have contract limitations, fees, and charges, which can include mortality and expense charges. Most have surrender charges that are assessed during the early years of the contract if the contract owner surrenders the policy; plus, there could be income tax implications. Any guarantees are contingent on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing company. Life insurance is not guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency; they are not deposits of, nor are they guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or savings association.

How Hot Is It? All You Need To See Are These Two Maps
The heat wave across much of the nation continues.
We could hit 105 degrees on Saturday here in the nation's capital, the National Weather Service says. Washington, D.C., has already tied its record for most consecutive days (eight) with temperatures of 95 degrees or more.
And as Wunderground.com writes, "more record-breaking triple-digit heat is expected Friday and Saturday across much of the Midwest and Tennessee Valley."
The good news is that things could start to cool in just a few days. "Early next week and even this weekend we'll see rain in Kansas and Nebraska and parts of Texas," forecaster Bruce Sullivan of the National Weather Service, tells USA Today.
But what we want to focus on are some incredible statistics and maps from the National Climatic Data Center.
First, look at this image showing the number of places where daily maximum temperature records have been broken so far this month. According to the data center, 942 records were broken in just the first five days of the month and another 273 were tied:
Then, look at this image showing the number of places where daily maximum temperature records were broken in June. The data center says 2,284 records were broken and another 998 were tied. (Note: If you're on a platform that isn't showing our images, click "view full website" at the bottom of this page. Or, check the June image we put on Tumblr.)
All we can say is, whew!
Other numbers about the scorching temperatures:
-- In the seven days ended Thursday, 2,155 daily high temperature records were set in communities across the nation.
-- In the past 30 days, there have been 4,230 such records set.
-- And in the year so far, 23,283 daily high records have been set. Over the same period last year, there were 13,582 such records set. The number of records set, then, is up about 71 percent.
As The Inquisitr says, "It is hard to believe with the record temperatures many cities are experiencing" that on Thursday the sun was the farthest from Earth that it will be this year — 94.5 million miles, versus its usual 93 million miles or so.

Corned Beef and Food Safety
For USDA's Meat and Poultry Hotline, the approach of spring usually means that St. Patrick's Day dinner preparations across the country will spark many questions about the safe handling, storage and preparation of corned beef and all the trimmings. But food safety involves more than the "luck of the Irish."
What is "corning"?
Corning is a form of curing; it has nothing to do with corn. The name comes from Anglo-Saxon times before refrigeration. In those days, the meat was dry-cured in coarse "corns" of salt. Pellets of salt, some the size of kernels of corn, were rubbed into the beef to keep it from spoiling and to preserve it.
Today brining — the use of salt water — has replaced the dry salt cure, but the name "corned beef" is still used, rather than "brined" or "pickled" beef. Commonly used spices that give corned beef its distinctive flavor are peppercorns and bay leaf. Of course, these spices may vary regionally.
Package Dating and Storage Times
Uncooked corned beef in a pouch with pickling juices which has a "sell-by" date or no date may be stored 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator (40°F or less) unopened. Products with a "use-by" date can be stored unopened in the refrigerator until that date.
Drained and well wrapped, an uncooked corned beef brisket may be frozen for 1 month for best quality. It's recommended to drain the brine because salt encourages rancidity and texture changes. The flavor and texture will diminish with prolonged freezing, but the product is still safe. After cooking, corned beef may be refrigerated for about 3 to 4 days and frozen for about 2 to 3 months for best quality.
Corned beef is made from one of several less tender cuts of beef like the brisket, rump or round. Therefore, it requires long, moist cooking. Keep food safety in mind when preparing corned beef. It can be cooked on top of the stove or in the oven, microwave or slow cooker.
Corned beef may still be pink in color after cooking. This does not mean it is not done. Nitrite is used in the curing process, which fixes pigment in the meat and affects the color.
Allow the brisket to stand for about 20 minutes after removing from the heat. This will make it easier to slice, and it is best sliced diagonally across the grain of the meat.
The USDA does not recommend one particular cooking method as best. Following are methods from various sources. The cooking times are based on corned beef that is not frozen at the time of cooking. "Fork-tender" is a good indication of doneness but use a food thermometer to be sure. Cook all raw corned beef to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source. For safety and quality, allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before carving or consuming. For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook meat to higher temperatures.
Set the oven for 350°F or no lower than 325°F. Place brisket fat-side up. Barely cover the meat with water — about 1 inch — and keep the container covered throughout the cooking time. Allow about 1 hour per pound.
Oven Cooking Bag
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the bag plus 1/2 cup water. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for closing the bag. For a 2 to 3-pound corned beef brisket, cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. For a 3 to 5-pound corned beef brisket, cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
Place brisket fat-side up in a large pot and cover it with water. Bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat and simmer, allowing about 1 hour per pound. Vegetables may be added during the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking. Cook vegetables to desired tenderness.
Slow Cooker
If using root vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, put them in the bottom of slow cooker. Place brisket on top of vegetables (if using) or in bottom of cooker. Add about 1 1/2 cups of water or enough to cover meat. Cover and cook on high setting for the first hour of cooking. Then cook for 10 to 12 hours on the low setting or 5 to 6 hours on high. Cabbage wedges may be added on top of the brisket during the last 3 hours of cooking.
Calculate cooking time at 20 to 30 minutes per pound. Place brisket in a large casserole dish and add 1 1/2 cups of water. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap and microwave on medium-low, 30 percent power, for half the estimated time. Turn meat over and rotate dish. Microwave on high for remainder of time or until fork tender. Vegetables may be added during the final 30 minutes of cooking.
Cooking Ahead
Some consumers prefer to cook corned beef ahead of time. It is easier to cut uniform slices when corned beef is cold. Cooking ahead also makes it easier to reheat and serve
After cooking a whole corned beef, cut it into several pieces for faster cooling — or slice it, if you like. Place the beef in shallow containers and cool it in the refrigerator quickly.
Any corned beef left over from a meal should be refrigerated promptly — within 2 hours of cooking. Use cooked-ahead or leftover corned beef within 3 to 4 days or freeze for 2 to 3 months. Reheat leftovers to 165°F as measured with a food thermometer.

Even Goethe praised the Weimar Onion Market as a "famous Market festival". People from all over the world flock to Weimar each year on the second weekend in October to be a part of this festival. This year Weimar celebrated its 355th Onion Market. On three days the city of Weimar turns into a colorful and lively place, where traders sell their wares, musicians give concerts on several stages dotted across the city and food and drinks are plentiful.
Of course it's also always about food. The sweet aroma of caramelized onions, intertwined with the fragrance of spiced bratwurst, garlic wafts through the alleys and the air is honey-coated with a delicious scent of candied almonds and sugared cranberries.
Who can resist buying small paper bags full of Wasabi peanuts, cranberries covered in yogurt chocolate or chocolate dipped coffee beans.
If an aura of grilled meats makes your tummy grumble, there is certainly something to satisfy the appetite. Marinated meats and of course the famous Thüringian spicy bratwurst with a dollop of hot mustard is sure to satisfy the hungriest tummy-grumbler.
After spending a lovely October day with food, music and drink one last ride on the Ferris wheel to enjoy the view above the rooftops of Weimar.
A fun filled time on a gorgeous Autumn's weekend.
Hope you enjoy the sights and scenes of one of my weekends with the family in Weimar.

See also Antibiotics (General)
These antibiotics work somewhat similarly to penicillin, but have been chemically modified to have a broader spectrum of effect.
Drugs in this family include
- cefadroxil (Duricef)
- cephalexin (Cefanex, Keflex, Keftab, Biocef)
- cephradine (Velosef)
- cefaclor (Ceclor, Ceclor CD)
- cefprozil (Cefzil)
- cefuroxime (Ceftin)
- loracarbef (Lorabid)
- cefdinir (Omnicef)
- cefixime (Suprax)
- cefpodoxime proxetil (Vantin)
- ceftibuten (Cedax)
- and others
Like all other antibiotics, cephalosporins might interfere with vitamin K levels by killing vitamin K–producing bacteria in the intestines. In addition, antibiotics in the cephalosporin family may also interfere with the way vitamin K works. 1 For this reason, taking extra vitamin K may be a good idea when using cephalosporins over the long term.

The Benefits of Refinancing
When considering refinancing your home, it is important to determine what goals you have for your short-term and long-term finances. When you refinance, you pay off your current mortgage loan with a new mortgage loan that has rates and terms that should better suit your overall financial needs.
Let's meet soon to discuss your objectives for the coming years. We can look at where interest rates are now and what closing costs would be on a refinance, and then I can put together a plan that is right for you.
There are many ways that refinancing your home mortgage loan could benefit you:
- Reduce your interest rate - If your home is currently financed at a higher-than-market rate, you may be able to reduce your interest rate and overall interest costs by financing at a lower rate. Over time, this could save you a great deal of money!
- Extend terms to lower monthly payment - You may be able to extend the repayment time of your loan, which will also lower the monthly payment. If you are looking to improve your cash flow, this may be a good option for you. Just keep in mind that you will be making payments on your home for a longer period of time.
- Build equity faster - You may also be able to shorten the term of your mortgage, which could reduce your interest rate and/or overall interest expense. By moving to a 15-year fixed rate, you might be able to pay off your home sooner without increasing your monthly payment by much.
- Change from variable to fixed rate - You may be able to reduce your monthly payment by changing from a variable-rate to fixed-rate loan. This may help free you from the potentially expensive interest rate/payment fluctuations that can occur in a volatile real estate market by locking in a low, fixed interest rate.
I would love to meet with you to assess your financial goals and see if refinancing your home is right for you. Call me today to set up an appointment and we will work together on the best plan for you.

What are the DVD region codes?
Many commercially-produced DVD movies contain regional coding to prevent the playback of the disc in a geographical area other than the one in which it was released. DVD movies released in one region may only play on DVD players manufactured for that same region. This is done because many studios and home video companies want to control how and when DVD titles are exported to other countries. However, some DVD movies are not region coded and will play on any player in any region.
The error message ERROR: Playing Of This Disc Prohibited By Area Limits is displayed on the DVD player. will display when attempting to play a region-coded disc on a DVD player coded to play discs from a different region. For example, if you try to play a disc manufactured for release in China (region 6) on a Sony® DVD player meant to play discs in the United States (region 1), you will receive this error message.
IMPORTANT: Some devices, such as certain computer DVD drives, can be modified (within limits) to play discs from regions other than for which they were originally designed. For information regarding if your DVD device can be modified, and if so, how to accomplish that modification, refer to the device specifications and users manual. Manuals are posted on your model support page.
NOTE: If your player suddenly starts displaying a region code error when you try to play discs from the appropriate region, service may be required.  Go to Product Repair.
Selling multi-area discs is not a common practice. However, some DVD movies are not region coded and will play on any player, regardless of the region in which it was sold. These discs may be labeled Region 0 or All. Many discs created with home-video capture software are coded as Region 0 and should play in your DVD player.
Sony DVD players sold in the U.S.are coded to play Region 1 DVD discs. They also will play discs labeled Region 0 or All. There is no way to override the region code.
These are the DVD region codes:
- Region 1 - Canada, the United States and U.S. territories.
- Region 2 - Japan, Europe, South Africa, the Middle East (including Egypt) and Greenland.
- Region 3 - Southeast Asia, and East Asia (including Hong Kong).
- Region 4 - Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean.
- Region 5 - Eastern Europe, Russia, the Indian Subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia.
- Region 6 - China.
- Region 7 - reserved for unspecified special use.
- Region 8 - Special international venues for air and oceanic travel.
The region number of your disc or player can be determined by looking for a small, standardized globe icon with the region number superimposed on it. If a disc plays in more than one region, it will have more than one number on the globe. If a disc does not have any regional coding, it will say 0 or ALL for all regions.

Hiroki Kuroda (5-1, 2.87) vs. Rick Porcello (3-4, 5.93)
You, helped us take first place, whoa
Got us back into the race, whoa
Watching D-Train make pitches wild
Gallaraga was so out-styled
Is Porcello mild?
We don't want to seem bad hosts, whoa
Not like we're trying to boast, whoa
But today is our chance to sweep
And make David Eckstein weep
Oh! Our hearts would leap
Don't the Tigers seem so tame
(Breaks they can't catch)
This 80's song is so lame
(These words are a stretch)
Get it? It's from Canadian heartthrob group Glass Tiger! Tiger! Made of glass! Like our fragile opponent! So enjoy the video, especially watching the lead singer's body overenunciate the beat like Steve Martin in The Jerk (or a guy having a seizure).
Oh, and let's win one today, boys, and get the sweep!

TUESDAY Q & A: Lifestyle choices may help treat mild case of obstructive sleep apnea
DEAR MAYO CLINIC: How does having sleep apnea affect my health? Are there treatments that I can try for sleep apnea other than a CPAP machine?
ANSWER: People who have sleep apnea repeatedly stop and start breathing when they sleep. There are two main types of sleep apnea. The more common form is obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA. It happens when muscles in the back of the throat relax, narrowing the airway and making it hard to take in enough air. Central sleep apnea is less common. It happens when the brain doesn't send the proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
OSA can make it difficult to get a good night's sleep. People with this sleep disorder often do not feel refreshed in the morning. They may wake up with a headache and suffer from fatigue and sleepiness throughout the day. Lack of sleep can affect a person's mood and the ability to think clearly and concentrate.
Other problems can arise as a result of OSA, too. It may lead to an increase in blood pressure. It can raise your risk for stroke and many types of heart disease. Untreated OSA makes recovery from surgery more difficult. If you have OSA, your risk of being in a motor vehicle accident is higher. Severe cases of OSA may lead to premature death.
To lower the likelihood of having these problems, it is important to have OSA treated. Using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is the most effective treatment. It works by using air pressure to hold the throat open. To use it, you need to wear a mask over your nose while you sleep.
While CPAP is a reliable way to prevent OSA, some people find it uncomfortable at first. Making adjustments to the fit of the mask and giving yourself time to get used to it usually are all that's needed to successfully use a CPAP machine.
While there are no medications available to treat this sleep disorder, there are lifestyle choices you can make that may help decrease OSA.
First, it is important to get to and stay at a healthy weight. Not all people who have OSA are overweight. But having excess weight is the single biggest risk factor for OSA. Losing even a small amount of extra weight can make OSA less severe. In some cases, getting to a healthy weight can cure OSA completely.
Second, if you smoke, stop. Smoking can make OSA worse in many people. If you need help quitting smoking, talk to your doctor about smoking cessation programs in your area.
Third, keep the amount of alcohol you drink to a minimum, if at all. Alcohol causes the muscles in the back of your throat to relax, increasing symptoms of OSA. The same is true for some medications, such as sleeping pills and tranquilizers. If you take medications, review them with your doctor to see if any of them may be contributing to your OSA.
Fourth, if you have persistent nasal congestion, treatment for that condition may help improve OSA. Talk with your doctor about medication options.
Finally, if you sleep on your back, try sleeping on your side or abdomen instead. When you sleep on your back, your tongue and soft palate may rest against the back of your throat and block your airway.
For cases of mild OSA, these lifestyle changes may be all you need to successfully treat the disorder. For more advanced cases, there are interventions other than CPAP that can be explored, including custom-designed mouth pieces worn at night that hold the lower jaw forward during sleep, as well as a variety of surgical procedures. A number of newer non-CPAP options seeking to open the airway during sleep are in various stages of development, such as specialized nasal valves, oral suction devices and implanted tongue nerve stimulators. A discussion with your health care team would be required to carefully review non-CPAP interventions beyond lifestyle changes. — Eric Olson, M.D., Center for Sleep Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.

Around 1802, Thomas Swann, a prominent Alexandria attorney who also served as the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, built a two-story house at the southeast corner of Prince and South Columbus streets. The brick home was built in the Federal style popular at that time.
In 1833, Henry Daingerfield purchased the property for $6,250. A successful importer and shipping merchant, Daingerfield was likely responsible for some of the remodeling that took place over the next 50 years. A third floor and a grand ballroom were added to the original structure, as were a mansard roof and Italianate elements typical of the Victorian period.
The home remained in the Daingerfield family until the late 19th century. In 1899, St. Mary's Academy, which had been operating on North Fairfax Street, purchased the Daingerfield property for $10,500. Within in couple years, a three-story addition, also with a mansard roof and matching windows and cornice brackets, replaced the east wing. By 1907, the boarding school had added another with the south facing South Columbus.
In the early 1940s, St. Mary's sold their school building for $100,000 to Alexandria Hospital, then located a block to the south on Duke Street. Alexandria Hospital used the building as housing for students in its School of Nursing and renamed it Carter Hall in honor of Fannie Carter who had served as the superintendent of nursing and director of the school for more than 20 years. Even after Alexandria Hospital moved to its new location on Seminary Road in the early 1960s, Carter Hall continued to be used by student nurses for several years.
In the late 1970s, the original Swann-Daingerfield House returned to use as a private residence and the wings were converted into condominiums.

LOS ANGELES -- From week to week fans simply never know which characters will survive the relentless zombie attacks on AMC's hit series "The Walking Dead."
That unpredictability keeps viewers on the edge of their seats and the shows' stars in a constant state of alertness.
"You see series and they last a long time and sometimes the writing gets lazy or the acting gets lazy. Because we're in a zombie apocalypse and anyone can go at any time, it sort of keeps us fresh and on our toes," Norman Reedus told The Associated Press Friday.
Fans lined up around the block to watch a panel discussion with Reedus and his co-stars at Paleyfest, the annual Southern California TV celebration. Many in the crowd showed their support for Reedus' crossbow-wielding character, Daryl Dixon, with their "If Daryl dies we riot!" T-shirts.
The 44-year-old actor says his vocal fan base is responsible for his character's impressive longevity in a series that seems to have no qualms in axing its most popular characters.
"Hell yes. Oh my god, yes," he said. "(They're) keeping me on the show."
"The Walking Dead" focuses on a rag-tag band of surviving refugees, including unruly brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon, who were not part of the series' comic book origins.
"I want to be Daryl Dixon in my next life," joked co-star Laurie Holden. "He's sexy and he's got the rugged thing going on."
When asked about his breakout star status, Reedus becomes humble and tries to turn the spotlight on his Golden Globe-nominated cast. (hfhjdkjskfhsdhsd love him sooo)
"I watch them grow and I watch myself grow. It's one of those acting things where like I'll be in a scene with her or with him and I'll say should I try this? And they'll go `yeah' and I'll believe them and I'll trust them. Everyone wants everyone to just kill it," Reedus said with a laugh.

Because The Year Just Wouldn't Have Been Complete Without A Pestilence
What Santa brought WonderBaby this year:
Chickenpox. Awesome.
At least he waited until after we had flown across the country and driven four hours into the hinterland of British Columbia to spring it on her. That was nice. She would have preferred a nice tricycle or a helicopter or a small developing country to rule over with an iron pacifier, but whatever. Pestilence is cool, too.
(We've missed you. We'll be back online in a day or two, once we're home and the pox have receded.
Happy New Year.)

Paroled 'Sopranos' actor discusses drug addiction
NEW YORK (AP) — After spending eight years in prison, former "Sopranos" actor Lillo Brancato Jr. says he's trying to help young people avoid making similar, drug-fueled mistakes.
"Here I am, I get the opportunity, I get the shot and then squander it, and do what I did, and get addicted to drugs and just make horrible decisions," the 37-year-old Brancato said in an interview broadcast Sunday on WNYM-AM.
He was paroled in December after serving time for his role in a 2005 Bronx break-in that left an off-duty police officer dead.
Brancato, who got his break in the 1993 film "A Bronx Tale" with Robert De Niro, said he's reaching out to young people to discuss the addiction he was unable to control. His last drug high was in prison in 2006, he said.
According to prosecutors, the actor and a Genovese crime family associate, Steven Armento, were drinking at a Bronx strip club before they tried to break into a nearby basement apartment and steal Valium.
The sound of shattering glass awoke off-duty Officer Daniel Enchautegui, who lived in the neighborhood and came to the rescue. He confronted the men and a gunbattle erupted, with Armento firing first, prosecutors said.
The dying officer emptied his pistol, hitting Brancato and Armento. The bloodied actor was arrested as he tried to get into his car, authorities said.
Brancato was acquitted of murder in the officer's death but convicted of attempted burglary. Armento was convicted of firing the fatal bullet.
He acknowledged that some of the actors who've worked with him in the past may not be willing to do so again. He played a young mobster on "The Sopranos" in 2000.
But "at least, see the person that I am today, see the person that I've grown up into," he said. "I definitely had to learn the hard way, but I am no longer that person who was present that night."
Authorities say he will remain under supervision through 2018. He was released to his family in Yonkers.
When Brancato was released from prison, Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, said in statement: "This union will take any steps necessary to ensure that this miscreant follows the conditions of his parole down to the last letter."
The most important thing he learned in prison, Brancato said, "is how to get through tough times" — without drugs.

I know many people value the sandwiches that come the day after a huge holiday meal, and I'll admit that I often enjoy my leftovers prepared like that too. However, when there're ample hunks of cooked turkey sitting around, I simply can't resist the urge to make some good ol' pot pie.
If you happen to have some already-made pie dough in the freezer (as I often do)(proud pie-lover, at your service) along with an assortment of frozen or leftover veggies, this creamy epitome of comfort food can be put together in hardly any time at all and with very little effort. The result is a belly-filling, heart-warming, and "mmmmm"-inducing dish.
It's so good, I'm usually inclined to make sure there's leftover turkey breast, even if it means hiding it away in the deep recesses of the fridge.
Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
(cobbled together from various recipes)
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) all-vegetable shortening
3-4 tablespoons ice water
1/3 cup butter
1 onion, finely diced
1/3 cup flour
1 3/4 cup chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
salt, pepper, and herbs to taste
2 cups leftover turkey, chopped
2 cups vegetables, fresh or frozen, all similar in size
Make crust:
Combine the flour, sugar, and salt with a fork until combined. Scatter the shortening over the top and mix with a pastry cutter, two knives, or your magnificent hands until the mixture has the texture of coarse sand. Scatter the butter pieces over the top and mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the ice water over the mixture. Stir and press the dough together, using a stiff rubber spatula until the dough sticks together. If the dough does not come together, stir in the remaining water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it does.
Flatten the dough into a 4-inch disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Let the chilled dough soften slightly at room temperature before rolling it out and laying it across the pie filling.
Make filling:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt butter in a large skillet and saute onion until soft. Sprinkle with flour and cook until golden. Add broth, milk, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thick. Add turkey and vegetables and cook until hot and thick. Pour into a sprayed 2-quart dish and cover with the prepared crust. Brush top crust lightly with butter, milk, or egg. Cut vents in the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes. If at all possible, allow to cool 10-15 minutes before cutting.

Oh, I totally love turkey sandwiches, but turkey pot pie takes a real close second. I love your pretty crust, Grace. : )

I heart that heart Grace :) Is there a special holiday on at the moment or was the turkey just an excuse to make pie? Actually, who needs an excuse for pie, especially one that looks this good.

Love the heart on the crust--so cute! I have a French mother so leftover turkey never went down the pot pie road, but this sure looks good!

Pot pie is one of my favorite meals, Grace. But I must be honest. I have never figured out if it's the crust that attracts me or the pie itself. But I suspect it's the crust and this one looks perfect! I'm very fussy about crust!

I often do this with chicken! I am all about using up all of the meat on a thing and then making stock with the bones.

Pot pies were revelations to me. Pie? For dinner? It's a meal if you put meat in it? Totally in!
I love pie crust - I'm one of those people who'll flip for a dual layered pie crust. But one will always suffice. ;) - May 3, 2010 at 11:42 AM

I love turkey pot pie. Sadly, once I made it, and, while it was terrific, my hordes of idiots did not care for it. In fact, there was talk of finding a rope and a tree for Mom. My dearly beloved stopped the revolt before it gained a full head of steam. So, all I can do is drool over your picture.

I'm in love with that little pie heart! Pot pie is one of my all time favorite comfort foods - this sounds perfect and I will remember it the next time I am assigned "meat" for one of my in-law's get togethers and end up with copious amounts of leftovers!

Switching gears now, the issues of Palestinians, both in the U.S. and abroad, are often in the news, but not, I think it's fair to say, because of the comedy scene, which is where Maysoon Zayid comes in.
MAYSOON ZAYID: I am a Palestinian Muslim virgin with cerebral palsy from New Jersey and, if you don't feel better about yourself, maybe you should. I'm just saying. So I'm a virgin and people are like, really? You're a virgin? And they feel sad for me and I just want you guys to know I'm a virgin by choice and that is my father's choice.
MARTIN: That was Maysoon Zayid on Comedy Central's "The Watch List" in 2008. Her tours have taken her from North America to North Africa to the Middle East and, when she's not entertaining crowds, she's running a nonprofit called Maysoon's Kids. That's a scholarship and wellness program for disabled and refugee children in the West Bank.
We caught up with Maysoon Zayid earlier this year when she was on a break from touring and she's with us now.
Thank you so much for joining us.
ZAYID: Hi. Thank you so much for having me.
MARTIN: So how did you get bitten by the comedy bug? I hear that you actually starting thinking about being an actress.
ZAYID: I actually went to Arizona State University to become a lawyer and was forced to take a fine arts class and I wanted to take the easiest thing they had and my friends told me it was acting because I got to be, like, a tree and an elephant. And, after my first acting class, I switched majors and decided that I was going to become a huge soap star and I was going to be on "General Hospital" and it was going to be amazing.
And I realized very, very quickly that I was never going to be more than an extra because Hollywood didn't really have a place for fluffy, ethnic, disabled people and I wasn't really seeing people that looked like me on television unless they started doing comedy.
So my acting coach at the time, who was a legend, total legend named Tanya Berezin - she suggested to me that I started doing comedy, like Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell and Roseanne Barr and so I went to Caroline's in New York City. I took a comedy class and, by my third, like, open mic, I was professionally doing stand-up comedy.
MARTIN: So you weren't, like, the funny kid in class? You weren't the one that was always getting sent to the principal's office for trying to crack everybody up? That was not you.
ZAYID: I was the girl who did everybody's homework, but I was also, like, student council president and yearbook editor and, like, all-around overachiever, like, I'm disabled, but I can do anything.
MARTIN: Do you mind if I ask? How do your folks feel about this? I mean, you could see where being a super smart kid, head of the class, they might have been thinking dentist, maybe doctor.
ZAYID: No, not really. My parents are very interesting people and I think that they quite enjoy my career. First of all, I love the clip that you played. When I heard it, I was like, oh, my God, this is from such a long time ago because I got married and my father passed away.
MARTIN: Oh, I'm sorry.
ZAYID: God rest his soul. So it's changed a lot, but when I was on stage and my father was alive, he was very proud of what I was doing, because I think my mother and father are both well aware of the fact that I am showing people throughout the world that disability doesn't stop you. And it's not quite as big a deal here in the United States as it is when I perform onstage in Jordan or in Palestine or in Qatar where they're not used to seeing functional disabled people.
MARTIN: Oh, interesting. Yeah.
ZAYID: So I think that, as far as my parents, you know, went, being on Keith Olbermann on a weekly basis wasn't too shabby as compared to, say, being a lawyer or a doctor. And I definitely could have never been a doctor because I have no eye-hand coordination.
ZAYID: It'd be dangerous. There was, like, five things I could do, one of which was teach, which is what I did until my stand-up comedy took off. I taught seventh and eighth grade reading and English at a Catholic school, like all good Muslim comics do.
MARTIN: Which is scarier, facing a roomful of rowdy comedy patrons or teaching a roomful of seventh and eighth graders?
ZAYID: See, I'm totally fearless. I got my chops in the most, like, dangerous comedy atmosphere. If you can make it in New York, you can really do stand-up anywhere.
MARTIN: I'm Michel Martin. We're speaking with comedienne Maysoon Zayid. Talk a little bit about where we started out. You talked about being born with cerebral palsy. Could you just describe what that is for people who don't know and how it affects you?
ZAYID: It affects my motor skills because the messages from my brain to my body go in all the wrong directions, but they eventually get there, so I shake all the time, kind of like Michael J. Fox meets Tickle Me Elmo with a lot less income.
MARTIN: OK. And you do joke about that or you certainly talk about that.
ZAYID: I do. I talk about that and that was the whole point of the original intro that you played, because what's interesting about me is the fact that people can't tell what's wrong with me and, in a comedy club, it's distracting and it could read as nerves. And if it read as nerves, the audience would be uncomfortable and they wouldn't laugh. So I knew that I needed to get out there something about my disability within the first couple of seconds and that's why I buried it within the intro of, I'm a Palestinian Muslim virgin with cerebral palsy from New Jersey.
Now, the older I got and the more comfortable I got onstage and as a person and as a performer, the more I started doing jokes about the actual disability and how it affects my daily life, but I think one of the reasons people kind of don't know where to place me is because I don't focus on one thing. I don't focus on being a woman and dating, or focus on being married, or focus on being ethnic or being disabled. It's like I am who I am and the comedy I do is very personal, it's very political and I don't apologize to anyone.
MARTIN: Thanks for breaking it down for us in that way. I appreciate it. I did want to ask before we let you go. The organization that you founded, Maysoon's Kids.
ZAYID: Maysoon's Kids.
MARTIN: Want to talk a little bit about it?
ZAYID: Maysoon's Kids is a scholarship and wellness program and what we do is we attempt to raise scholarship money to mainstream physically disabled children into the top schools in the West Bank and we also facilitate adoption for special needs orphans. And we teach moms how to integrate their children into society and we support girls and have a soccer team for at risk girls who we coach through life and coach into college. And we have some kids at Bethlehem University on scholarship. So we're all about educating and empowering, and not just giving people stuff. It's definitely, definitely a teach a kid to have an education program.
MARTIN: How did you come up with the idea for that? Does that come out of your teaching background?
ZAYID: No. Uh uh. And my teaching background was really just like - I qualified to be a sub and someone got pregnant. I got to stay there for a really long time.
MARTIN: That's encouraging.
ZAYID: No. Definitely. No. Maysoon's Kids came from 2002. No. April 2001. I'm sorry. I was watching images on the news of Jenin (unintelligible) being bombed during the Second Intifada by Israel. And I saw this image of a crushed wheelchair and I thought, oh, my God, we're creating an entire new generation of disabled children in Palestine that nobody knows how to deal with. And they need someone who's going to fight for them the way that my father fought for me. Because, like, when I started the school system in New Jersey, they wanted to send me to a school for children with special needs. And the reality is, had I gone to that school, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you, being a little bit too sarcastic.
MARTIN: Well, thank you for that. I'm happy to listen to you talk about whatever you want to talk about. Before we let you go, I mean, you are - I don't know how you feel about this, being called a role model, but you are a role model for a lot of people in a lot of ways. And I wondered if you had some words of wisdom for someone who might want to follow in your footsteps, who's listening to you and thinking, gee, I think I can do that. I want to do that.
ZAYID: If you're disabled and you're trying to achieve your dreams, accept the fact right now that you have to work 500 times more than the average bear next to you. Stop bucking for sympathy, put on your titanium legs and run.
I think that carries through for all artists - is that, like, if you think that you're so good, go out there and do it and prove it, and work, because nobody's ever going to give you anything. And, if you are handed anything, it's ephemeral and you're going to have to eventually build, anyway. So, like, know that you're worth it and do what you need to do to get there. Don't expect anyone to ever just hand you anything.
MARTIN: Maysoon Zayid is a professional comic. She also runs an education program for disabled and refugee kids in the West Bank. And she was kind enough to join us from New York at the Radio Foundation.
Maysoon Zayid...
ZAYID: And everybody can find me on www.maysoon.com. My name. I bought it.
MARTIN: Maysoon Zayid, thank you for joining us.
ZAYID: Thank you, Michel.
MARTIN: Coming up, R&B singer-songwriter Miguel made a huge splash with his debut album in 2010. Now, he's back with a second album that he hopes will let fans and critics know he's here to stay.
MIGUEL: This album, "Kaleidoscope Dream," is a really great statement for the kind of artist that I hope to become.
MARTIN: A conversation with rising star Miguel and we remember a musical legend, Ravi Shankar. That's all ahead on TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm Michel Martin.

Chiropractic care is beneficial for all family members, including pre-schoolers, teenagers, and grandparents. As good health is often based upon good spinal health, making sure that everyone's spine is functioning properly is a key component in maintaining a family's well-being.
Your spinal column houses and protects your spinal cord, which connects your brain with every organ, tissue, and cell in your body. Irritation caused by a decrease in or loss of full spinal mobility may negatively impact the flow of information within the spinal cord, resulting in muscular aches and pains, lack of restful sleep, nervousness, headaches, and disease. By helping ensure optimum functioning of your spinal column, chiropractic care helps address the causes of these various problems at their source. In this way, chiropractic care helps people of all ages achieve better health and optimum well-being.
"60 is the New 40″ is more than a marketing slogan. The phrase is also a metaphor for optimism, as well as a metaphor for good health.
How can 60 really be the new 40? First, there are the demographics. Forty years ago, when today's 40-year-olds were just being born, 40 was a fairly substantial age. In the early 1970s, every 40-year-old had lived through World War II. For the Americans, many of the men fought in the Korean War and some may even have fought in the Vietnam War. In the early 1970s, most women had had their first child by age 25. Today, child-rearing years for adults frequently begin in their 30s and even late into their 40s. Life expectancy in 1970 was approximately to age 71. Today, average life expectancy is to age 79 or 80. Putting everything together, it can reasonably be stated that our "senior years" keep getting pushed further and further back.
"60 is the new 40″ means there is plenty of productive life ahead. The phrase implies that, if one is ready, able, and motivated, whole new aspects of living can be explored. Whereas in 1970, 40-year-olds were often beginning to be established in middle-management roles in their white-collar companies, or were becoming shop stewards and supervisors in their factories, today men and women in their 60s are becoming entrepreneurs and launching their own businesses. Backed by a lifetime of experience, people in their 60s are going back to school to get the undergraduate or graduate degree of their dreams, or they're setting up shop for themselves as artists, artisans, or consultants. Regardless of the particular individual choice, the point is that people in their 60s are manifesting the spirit and vision that was previously thought to be the special province of those much younger, specifically, men and women in their 20s and 30s. But it would be a stretch to say that "60 is the new 30″, so we'll stick with "60 is the new 40″.
But these new activities and endeavors require physical resources and energy.1 If one is not healthy, 60 may in fact not be the new 40. If one is not enjoying good health, then one's focus is usually primarily directed toward getting well. For 60 to really be the new 40, that is, for one to be fully engaged with family, friends, and work, for one to be focusing on the present and maintaining a positive, expectant attitude toward the future, an optimum state of health is required. Such an optimum varies from person to person. What is needed is for us to be functioning at our optimum. Such maximal functioning is based upon numerous factors, including a healthy, nutritious diet,2,3 regular vigorous exercise, and consistent, sufficient rest. Putting these lifestyle choices into place and making these elements of healthy living habitual will go far toward helping all of us make our chronological age irrelevant.
We realize you have a choice in whom you consider for your health care provision and we sincerely appreciate your trust in choosing our service for those needs. If you, a friend, or family member requires care for there spine we would be honored to render our services.

Staten Island has always been the forgotten borough of New York City. I've lived here all my life, and after Hurricane Sandy, the island is feeling as neglected as ever. You can't escape the devastation here. My family came through relatively unscathed — though they are mostly huddled in my brother's house. But they, like all other residents of the island, were witness to the terrifying power of the storm.
The first floor of my mother's house was destroyed and now reeks of mildew. The tenant there is living upstairs on my mom's floor, with no power or heat. In the Great Kills area of the island is my Aunt Barbara's house. And on the street where she lives is now an entire marina of boats. Large luxury fishing boats have crushed into houses and block intersections. Aunt Barbara and her family are living on a generator but are running out of gas. On Halloween night, her son Fred was almost arrested for siphoning gas from a huge boat on their street. My brother and I drove to Woodbridge, N.J., and waited almost three hours in line to buy gas for them.
(PHOTOS: In the Eye of the Storm: Capturing Sandy's Wrath)
The headline of Thursday's Staten Island Advance screamed in bold "14 DEAD SO FAR — HOMES RAVAGED, LIVES RUINED." But many people here feel no one is listening to their pleas for help or coming for support. Only after one horrific tale emerged did the rest of the city and country pay attention to Staten Island. That event took place in one of the most devastated areas on the island, along Father Capodanno Boulevard. There, a young mother named Glenda Moore tried to reach a shelter and lost her two sons, Brandon, 2, and Connor, 4, after their car stalled in the suddenly rising floodwaters and they tried to escape.
Many residents live just off the water. And as you travel along south, the evidence of destruction just grows and grows. Piles of furniture and garbage are stacked in front of countless homes. Many residents in the town of South Beach off Father Capodanno Boulevard can't go back into their houses until they see a yellow sticker from the Building Department on their door letting them know the building is safe. Many are clearly unsafe — in fact, uninhabitable and stickered in red to indicate they have been condemned. The area is pockmarked with collapsed homes.
(VIDEO: After Sandy, Returning to Ruins in Breezy Point)
Aly Mahgoub was in his South Beach house during the storm. "I ran to the garage to grab some stuff, and in a matter of minutes the water was up to my knees," he recalls of the Oct. 29 surge. "I brought all the kids to the third floor, and in about an hour and a half the water was past the first floor. I had a Chevy Tahoe and it was smacking into the house and it went through the garage. The waves were hitting my house. It felt like I was in the middle of the ocean. It made it up to the second floor of my house."
Late on Nov. 1, Lorenzo Ameno, a lawyer, was pumping the water out of his basement — which meant he was lucky enough to have a generator to power the pump. "We evacuated when we saw the water rising and thought it best just to leave," Ameno says. He returned to find a Mercury Mountaineer jammed between the walls of his house and his neighbor's home. A Dodge Ram had floated into the side of his house. He said, "I've tried contacting FEMA, and there has been no response. I don't even think FEMA has showed up in South Beach. We're all neighbors and waiting and nobody has showed up. Only National Grid [the gas company] to shut off the gas and Con Ed to shut the electric."
"I have homeowner's insurance, and I tried to call my agent today, and I just can't get through," says the frustrated lawyer. "President Obama promised a swift recovery, and we are on Father Capodanno and there is nothing here. There are no services; there are no police, no Red Cross [in the neighborhood]. There's nothing. It's just devastating on top of devastating." He adds, "I really do believe that Staten Island is the forgotten borough … There should really be newscasters here showing the devastation on Father Capodanno and nobody helping us."
"The mayor here doesn't want to come and they are pulling bodies out left and right," says Michael Harven, who lives with Ida Vernat and their 11-year-old daughter in an area called Ocean Breeze. They all escaped — along with their small terrier — just when the floodwaters began to rise. "When we came out and saw the water coming across the street, we left," says Harven. "The water rose to about 10 feet high in the area, so people were trapped." He and Vernat found out today that their house had a yellow sticker, which means that though it is damaged, they can return to live in it. Still, says Vernat, "My daughter doesn't want to come back and see this. She's scared."
(VIDEO: TIME Explains: Hurricane Sandy and Climate Change)
Only a few houses away from Vernat and Harven's home, searchers found the body of an elderly woman. Peeking through a shattered bay window of the home where she was discovered, I saw a green oxygen tank. In the small living room, all her furniture had been tossed about by the flood. Her neighbors say her cat survived.
Near the corner of Father Capodanno and Midland Avenue is a gigantic emergency command center. Harven says it isn't very organized. When he went in to ask about his home on Nov. 1, he says, "The Office of Emergency Management didn't know the Building Department was here. FEMA said they were too busy getting set up. No one is communicating, even the city. Half this community wants to leave. They don't want to ever come back."
Driving into the Midland Beach neighborhood right after sunset requires going through an obstacle course of debris and random streets filled with stagnant floodwater. At the Hess station on New Dorp Lane, there's a line of cars about a mile long. In the pitch black of Cedar Grove Avenue, Lucille Mack, who works at Showplace bowling alley, is serving pizza on the hood of a car. "We want to help give people something for their stomachs at least," she explains. One resident who was eating out on the street told me that he and his wife took refuge in the attic of their one-story home, even as the entire facade of the house fell off and the next-door neighbors' home completely collapsed.
Across the street, a Red Cross mobile unit was handing out supplies and volunteers were organizing things at an impromptu donation center in the dark. One volunteer said, "Nothing from FEMA yet, no Con Edison trucks, we haven't had any inspections. The cops came by and made sure people were alive, but nothing has been inspected that I know of."
On my way home I notice another mile-long line for gas at another Hess Station, close to where a giant water tanker washed up on land. I take a photo of the line for gas. A cop keeping the line orderly says, "Come back in 20 minutes when they run out and you'll really see a riot." He may have been joking, but Staten Islanders are struggling, and many are beginning to lose patience. We are tired of being forgotten.

The purpose of this church shall be the advancement of the Kingdom of God by carrying out the commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. This involves the evangelization of lost humanity and the edification of believers through the preaching of the Gospel, the teaching of the Bible, public worship including administration of the New Testament ordinances, spiritual care and improvement of members, personal Christian loving and witness, and support of world-wide missions.
1) The Word of God – We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the
original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all
matters of faith and conduct.
2) The Trinity – We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, that these
are equal in every divine perfection, and that they execute distinct, but harmonious offices in the work of
creation, providence, and redemption.
3) God the Father – We believe in God, the Father, an infinite personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power
and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers
prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
4) Jesus Christ – We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe
in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily
resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal visible return to earth.
5) The Holy Spirit – We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the
world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus
Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper,
teacher, and guide.
6) Regeneration – We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under
condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated
by the Holy Spirit.
7) The Church – We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all
regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus
Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith and associated for worship, work, and fellowship. We believe
that God has laid upon the members of the local church, the primary task of giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to
a lost world.
8) Christian Conduct – We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God and the well-being of his
fellowmen; that his conduct should be blameless before the world; that he should be a faithful steward of his
possessions; and that he should seek to realize for himself and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.
9) The Ordinances – We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church:
baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into
the name of the triune God. We believe that the Lord's Supper was instituted by Christ for commemoration of
His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
10) Religious Liberty – We believe that every human being has direct relations with God, and is responsible to
God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and must be free from interference by any
ecclesiastical or political authority; that therefore Church and State must be kept separate as having different
functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.
11) Church Cooperation – We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by
cooperating with one another in a denominational organization. Such an organization, whether a regional or
district conference, exists and functions by the will of churches. Cooperation in a conference is voluntary and
may be terminated at any time. Churches may likewise cooperate with interdenominational fellowships on a
voluntary basis.
12) The Last Things – We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the
establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal felicity
of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
This is a summary statement of our essential biblically based beliefs.
A small group of Swedish immigrants living in Warren in 1890 joined to form the First Swedish Baptist Church of Warren. (The Baptist General Conference was originally made up of Swedish Baptist.) In 1932, the name was changed to Calvary Baptist Church. The first church building was located at the corner of Redwood and Center streets in Warren, but it burned to the ground in 1957. Four years later the first service was held in the present building on Conewango Avenue. Continuing for over a century, Calvary Baptist holds to the unchanging Word of God while seeking to meet the ever-changing needs of our community, looking forward to Christ's return.

WASHINGTON – The United States Helsinki Commission will conduct a briefing to survey domestic violence in participating States of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
The briefing will examine research data on domestic violence in the OSCE region with a focus on Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The briefing will also examine the extent to which governments, particularly law enforcement authorities, have fulfilled their responsibilities to protect individuals from such abuse.

Background: Violence against women is perhaps the most pervasive human rights abuse in the world. Domestic violence has been deemed a serious problem in every country where it has been studied. Research shows that women of all ages and socioeconomic and educational backgrounds are subject to domestic violence. Research has also revealed high levels of domestic violence in many of the 55 OSCE participating States and many of these cases are never reported to authorities.
Government officials often minimize the problem or consider it a private matter outside the purview of the legal system. Police routinely discourage women from making complaints, and abusers are rarely removed from their homes or jailed. Police, prosecutors and the courts often respond to domestic violence by urging women to reconcile with their abusers regardless of the potential danger posed to the victim. In many countries, legal and social services for domestic violence victims are lacking.
OSCE participating States committed to address violence against women in the 1991 Moscow Document of the Conference on the Human Dimension and again in the 1999 OSCE Charter for European Security.
A government's responsibility for protecting individuals from human rights abuses includes ensuring that women enjoy their rights to life, to security of person, and to freedom from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. When these rights are violated, governments are obligated to respond appropriately.
In June 2001, the OSCE convened a meeting in Vienna, Austria to raise awareness of the scope and severity of the problem of violence against women, including domestic violence, in the OSCE countries.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.
