Shared Tales, Better Studying, Stronger Communities
It is unimaginable for any late night TV viewer to overlook the infomercials for the numerous DVDs and television applications that goal to make their youngster a genius. The editors of Education Week claim to be goal journalists, but with their Quality Counts publication, they abandon objectivity and promote the requirements-and-testing industrial faculty paradigm of No Little one Left Behind (NCLB). Now my own feedback is that one of many major points I find is that education doesn't educate about life overall, as a substitute it's involved about hurting other peoples emotions. The apartheid regime deliberately provided sub-normal education for lacks, for apparent causes.
Held on the campus of Brigham Younger College in Provo, Utah, Campus Education Week is a unbroken education program for men, ladies, and youth ages 14 years and older affords greater than 1,000 courses on a wide range of topics, together with education, non secular, marriage and household, the humanities, historical past, family tree, and communication.
Unfortunately, when the Nationwide Occasion of the white South Africans finally got here into management in 1948, they established 2 programs of education – a high normal for whites and a low commonplace for blacks, preventing blacks to amass the data wanted to turn out to be greater than merely labourers.
Some schools had complained that Education Week had been occurring too near the tip of the varsity yr; others had mentioned that education should be celebrated 12 months round, or whenever the time was optimal for a school. Visit his website New Direction Education Companies at to contact him about services provided. Engaging in actions reminiscent of elevating butterflies naturally leads us to do further research in library books and on websites. Then, ask your local education leaders so as to add their support to National Arts in Education Week.
Get your drama or music students to prepare an Education Week Show" and put it on in senior citizens centers, hospitals and procuring centres. Mckbirdbks, it could be wonderful to live in a rustic where education from primary to excessive is free. Throughout Graduate Education Week, we acknowledge the arduous work and societal contributions of graduate college students, graduate school and graduate alumni throughout our state and nation.

My first Dare U 2 Digi Stamp Challenge
I am just captivated by these fabulous images from Chris Dark, and as it is a digital image, this challenge is a good place to start.
I have decided to combine it with the Stamp Something's Embellished Somethings Challenge where 3 embellishments should be used.
I have also included Use It's Challenge whose recipe this week is
1. Something inspired by nature (the bluebells)2. Polka Dots (the vellum) 3. Your favourite embellishment (the brads) and 4. To make it for someone special.
I think that anyone worthy of a handmade card must be special!
The image has been coloured with Marvy Pens and a water brush, plus a little watercolour paint.
The stamped sentiment is from MSE mounted on Nesties and the flourish behind it is from Cuttlebug.
The blue backing paper is a download from Canon.
There you have it!

Essentials: Gore Mountain
Getting There
From New York City (4 hours): Take I-87 to Exit 23 (Warrensburg), then Route 9 for 4 miles, then Route 28 for 16 miles to North Creek. From Boston (4.5 hours): Take the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) to Albany, N.Y., then I-87 north to Exit 23; from there, see above.
Vital Stats
Summit elevation: 3,600 feet. Vertical drop: 2,100 feet. Number of trails: 62. Snowmaking: 95 percent of skiable terrain. Number of lifts: nine (including the Northwoods Gondola and two quads).
What's New
Addition of a black-diamond run, Double Barrel, on the Straightbrook Quad liftline; widening of the intermediate Foxlair run on Bear Mountain; remodeling of the Tannery Pub and Restaurant, with better views of the mountain and new booths made from vintage cabins of the old Red Gondola; ski-school conveyor lift; terrain park and big-air kicker.
Dining Out
On a Budget: On Route 28, Casey's North (518-251-5836) offers respectable après-ski fare and a humongous bar, while the Riverwood Restaurant & Tavern (518-251-2798) offers an ambitious Mexican menu. In downtown North Creek, there's affordable Italian fare at The Whistle Stop (518-251-3007). Money Is No Object: The class act in town is The Gardens at the Copperfield Inn (518-251-2500), with rustic-gourmet fare such as "Adirondack Surf & Turf" (venison and rainbow trout).
Sleeping In
Affordable lodging dominates in North Creek. Good bets: the Valhaus Motel (518-251-2700) and Alpen Dorf Chalets (518-251-2112). The Goose Pond Inn (518-251-3434) is one of the few B&Bs in the vicinity. For those not on a budget, the Copperfield Inn (518-251-2500) includes a health club and other refined amenities.
North Creek's Main Street will not be mistaken for Aspen's retail core, but gear junkies find both entertainment and equipment at The Mountain & Boardertown sports shop (518-251-3111), which includes a climbing wall and an in-store special-effects "rainstorm" that's ready for Broadway. There's world-class cross-country skiing at Garnet Hill Lodge (518-251-2150) and snowshoeing at Cunningham's Ski Barn (518-251-3215). For those ready to take a day off from skiing, Glens Falls' Hyde Collection Art Museum and a ton of outlet stores are an hour away.
A Good Deal
All of Gore's multiday lift tickets (including season passes) are also valid at Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, 90 minutes away.
518-251-2411 or www.goremountain.com; snow report: 800-342-1234.

How to Plan A Destination Wedding
A destination wedding can turn into a genuine fairy tale. Getting married to your soulmate in an exotic and exquisite se... More
Wedding day is a monumental occasion for a couple, family and friends, so obviously planning is paramount. Valerie Mahon explains the wedding planning process and shares some useful tips about destination weddings.
You can contact Imagine Weddings & Events directly at (305)421-0000 (305)421-0000 or email@example.com
A wedding planner becomes a couples' best advocate.
A wedding planner becomes a couples' best advocate. In theory, this person should assist the couple with anything from picking out the venue to helping with picking the vendors. A wedding planner should also be knowledgeable with tips and trends so that they can help couples pick out color schemes that are right for them as well as trends in sand ceremonies, signage, etc.
The hardest part about planning a wedding is deciding on a date and a venue. A year to 6 months out, make sure you lock in the venue and accommodations for yourself and your wedding party. You also need to ask your bridesmaids and groomsmen to block the date on their calendars. Now that you've selected a country, your wedding planner will have given you the legal requirements to marry so there aren't surprises when you apply for a license. We will also make sure all the paperwork is properly prepared (we have a department dedicated only to marriage license procurement) for less stress on the client. After these important steps are met, the rest is picking out attire, food, décor and entertainment – all the fun stuff!
A great wedding planner will take your dream and make it a reality — without any stress on your part.
Unless you have extensive knowledge of the location or family in the area, you need to hire a wedding planner for your local or destination wedding. There are too many pieces to the wedding planning puzzle, and it's impossible for you to lock everything in during the few preliminary site visits you take – that is, if you even take any preliminary site visits in the first place. Either way, here's the top criteria you need to look for before hiring someone on to plan your wedding.
Make sure your planner understands your budget. Ask your planner about past experience with the venue/location. Ideally, you want to find a wedding planner who has a long history with your selected venue. If they know the hotel managers and staff, then they'll understand their options. Your wedding planner might be able to negotiate a special package with additional perks to whatever the destination wedding venue typically offers. Make sure your wedding planner has a strong list of vendors for catering and music, and a deep knowledge of the area. After all, you're hiring this person for their local expertise. Most importantly, you want a wedding planner who can execute your vision. A great wedding planner will take your dream and make it a reality — without any stress on your part.
We suggest at least one year out for far away locations, however, everything depends on the size of wedding and location of where you hold the wedding. If you are having an intimate ceremony with only a few guests, you can plan these within 6 months generally. If you are having a large wedding and/or getting married at a location far away, difficult to get to, or with more strict marriage license requirements; you will want to leave yourself more time so as to give your guests plenty of time to save up, give yourself time to prepare, and/or get paperwork in order.
We suggest at least one year out for far away locations, however, everything depends on the size of wedding and location of where you hold the wedding.
Nearly everyone is on a budget – every seasoned wedding planner should be prepared to help you where they can. As long as the couple is realistic about real-world costs, your wedding planner can help to stretch your dollars to make the most "bang for your buck".
If you're looking for a simple way to minimize nearly all of your wedding expenses, the guest list is a great place to start. With a smaller guest list, you'll need less of everything, from invitations to food. You can downgrade to a smaller wedding package by opting for an intimate family-only event instead of a large destination wedding with friends flying in from around the world.
Another little-known way to cut the budget? Attire. Getting the perfect look is a careful combination of saving and spending. You can save on your dress by buying off the rack and even opting for a designer look-alike. While you want a dress that will stand up to the dining and dancing at your reception, do keep mind that it doesn't have to last beyond this one night. Also, because your venue is so unique, choose a dress that enhances the beautiful scenery, not overwhelms it. It is most important to be comfortable. Cutting flowers and replacing with more simple décor like candles can also help slash costs.
Some of the top tips for a destination wedding couple would be to have plenty of options for your guests who are traveling to your destination wedding.
There are too many to include! Some of the top tips for a destination wedding couple would be to have plenty of options for your guests who are traveling to your destination wedding. Survival packets, with items such as travel essentials, magazines, water, aspirin, travel booklets on your destination, etc. These can be given at the airport or delivered to hotel rooms. Personalized playing cards help with boredom and travel as well as serve as a keepsake. Your wedding planner should know the proper etiquette for destination weddings or local weddings depending on what you choose. Color schemes, theme trends, DIY trends, Do's and Don'ts, how to personalize without breaking the bank and ways to make your guests comfortable are all things that a planner knows and what makes us strive to do the best for our clients. When planning a destination wedding another great tip is consider the climate at that time of year – it will affect color schemes, flowers, how you dress, etc.
Some of the top tips for a destination wedding couple would be to have plenty of options for your guests who are traveling to your destination wedding.
During the wedding, a planners job is to make sure all the vendors are in order and set up, that there are no surprises (and if there are – the planner takes care of it so that there is less stress on the couple). The planner also makes sure all the vendors receive payments. The planner will also be in contact with the couple to make sure they get to where they need to be on time, whether it is for hair and make-up, photos, greeting guests, dancing, cake cutting, send off, etc. The couple can rest assured that all they have to do is show up and have a great time with their family and friends!
As wedding planners, our job is to keep the couple happy and to reel them in and keep them focused on what's important to them, makes their wedding special and personal, and most importantly keep it fun and not overwhelming.
When it comes to planning everybody has an opinion. Oftentimes a couple can become overwhelmed with choices and may go off on tangents when it comes to décor, traditions, flowers, responsibilities, guest lists, etc. Sometimes the hardest part of our job is making sure the couples wants and needs correlate with their budgets. Also, getting married means combining two families and sometimes that gets confusing for couples trying to please too many people. As wedding planners, our job is to keep the couple happy and to reel them in and keep them focused on what's important to them, makes their wedding special and personal, and most importantly keep it fun and not overwhelming.

NEW YORK -- Canadian stocks declined Thursday, with the energy group taking the brunt of the damage. The S&P/TSX Composite Index shed 2.3% to 10190.73, with all of the 10-sector index falling.
The energy group, which was responsible for much of the market's gains earlier in the year, was hit again, falling 5.7%. The price of oil hit a three-month low, dropping $1.38 a barrel to $61.03 in New York.
Talisman TLM, -2.11% shed 4.74 Canadian dollars to C$49.06, as investors absorbed news of the firm's planned acquisition of U.K.-listed Paladin Resources. EnCana ECA, +3.05% gave up C$4.68 to C$56.97 a day after the stock surged 10% on speculation that EnCana was about to be acquired by Royal Dutch Shell RD.
The sagging oil price sent the big integrated firms lower. Petro-Canada slid C$1.33 to C$40.13 and Imperial Oil fell a whopping C$9.70 to C$96.85 after the company reported its third-quarter financial results.
The materials group lost 2.2%, with Barrick Gold dropping 81 cents to C$29.92 and Placer Dome falling 84 cents to C$18.21. Alcan gave up 96 cents to C$437.65 and Inco declined C$1.80 to C$47.70.
Elsewhere, the consumer-discretionary group fell 1.0%, the consumer-staples group gave up 1.8% and the information technology group shed 0.9%.
In Mexico, stocks resumed their recent downtrend, with a poor performance in U.S. markets contributing to the sell-off.
The market's key IPC index shed 1.9% to 14821.10.
One of the few bright spots were the A shares of conglomerate Alfa, which climbed 2.3% to 61.29 pesos on the back of the company's strong third-quarter results.
However, shares of other companies that have already reported didn't fare as well. The B shares of homebuilder Geo recovered from earlier weakness to finish up 0.1% at 31.38 pesos.
The V shares of Wal-Mart de Mexico continued to slide, falling 2.3% to 48.46 pesos. The CPO shares of cement maker Cemex also slumped 2.8% to 52.36 pesos ahead of the company's third-quarter release on Friday.
Meanwhile, Brazilian stocks declined after a flood of profit-taking in the afternoon session sent shares tumbling from early gains gleaned in the wake of the central bank's decision to cut a key interest rate late Wednesday.
The benchmark Ibovespa index plummeted 3.3% to 28344 points after hedge funds sparked a wave of selling in afternoon trading.
Blue-chip stocks declined broadly with traditional volume leader Telemar TNE, +0.33% down 1.8% 38.79 reals. State-run energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro, or Petrobras, shed 4.9% to 29.46 reals. Rio de Janeiro-based mining giant Vale do Rio Doce RIO, +1.39% dipped 3.3% to 74.00 reals.
Steelmakers also tumbled across the board.
Among the day's few winners was low-cost airline Gol GOL, +6.56%, which advanced 0.7% to 37.99 reals. Aircraft manufacturer Embraer ERJ, +2.40% also rose, climbing 0.5% to 21.60 reals.

Looking for a pediatrician for your newborn? Discover 15 interview questions for pediatricians you need to ask at a meet and greet (with a worksheet!).
If there's one thing you can't put off until after your pregnancy, it's finding a pediatrician.
You may have been able to find an OBGYN after you found out you were pregnant, but not so with your newborn's doctor. You'll need to find and select a pediatrician before the baby is born.
You see, the baby's first doctor's appointment happens right at the hospital after he's born. The pediatrician will take a look at him and likely visit each day you're there. She'll also be the one who'll discharge and claim the baby fit to go home.
Not exactly something you can put off to the last minute.
So, how do you find the right pediatrician for your baby? And how do you even start or filter potential candidates?
It comes down to visiting and interviewing potential pediatricians for a meet and greet. But if you're a first-time mom or perhaps find yourself starting a new search, you might not know the right questions to ask or where to even begin.
Don't worry—I've got you covered. I wanted to make sure my son's (and later, my twins') doctor was someone we all felt comfortable with, and someone my kids could preferably go back to for years to come.
I'll share a few factors you might want to consider when whittling down your choices, and resources to start your search.
Once you have a few in mind, the best way to make the right decision is to visit and talk to pediatricians. Below, I share the top 15 questions you need to ask as well as observations to make about your visit.
Let's dive in!
Filter potential candidates for pediatricians
Where do you even begin looking for a pool of pediatricians to choose from? Here are a few ideas:
- Your insurance network. Start your search within your insurance network. Don't waste time making appointments with potential pediatricians if they don't even take your insurance provider.
- Referrals from your OBGYN. Many OBGYN practitioners can refer all types of doctors, including pediatricians. The best part is that many of them categorize their referrals on whether these doctors are part of your current insurance network. If your doctor is already included in your insurance network, then she can point you to pediatricians she recommends and are also part of the network.
- Referrals from friends and family. Many of us rely on personal recommendations since we can get an honest assessment and trust friends and family. Make sure that pediatricians they recommend are included in your insurance network.
As you go through your options, you likely already have a few preferences in mind. Take these factors into consideration before making appointments to meet with the pediatricians:
- Gender. Do you have a preference for a male or female doctor?
- Age. Do you have a preference for their age?
- Experience. What is each pediatrician's experience in their field?
- Recommendations. Does the pediatrician come highly recommended?

Interview questions for pediatricians
Once you've narrowed down your search to a few select candidates, it's time to schedule appointments with them. During your conversation, make sure to ask these important questions:
- Do you take my insurance plan?
- Will you be available around my due date?
- What happens if you're not available (either when I'm ready to deliver or for regular appointments)?
- Is there another pediatrician to cover for you?
- What hospital are you affiliated with?
- Will you be able to visit for the first-day check-up?
- Will you be the one to discharge us?
- What are your office hours?
- Can we still reach you during non-business hours for emergencies?
- What is your typical well-baby schedule?
- Are you able to do standard lab work or vaccinations in your office?
- What is the typical waiting time for a standard appointment?
- If my baby gets sick, will you be available for same-day appointments?
- How far in advance do we need to schedule well-baby appointments?
- What is your late or cancellation policy for appointments?
Observations about the pediatrician's practice
There are many perks to meeting the pediatricians in person, instead of relying on online information or a phone conversation. Not only are you able to get a feel for the pediatrician's demeanor and personality, you can also see her practice in person.
A few things you want to look out for are:
- How comfortable did you feel speaking with the pediatrician? Did you like speaking with her?
- Did she seem professional and knowledgeable?
- Was her office kid-friendly? Did they have a child-focused waiting area? Was the office clean, well-maintained, and baby-proofed?
- How did you like the staff?
- How was parking? Was it easy to get to her office?
- Did you have to wait a long time before meeting with her?

Hopefully you now feel better prepared to find a pediatrician for your baby. You know how to filter a wide pool of candidates into a few you plan to meet. You also have the right interview questions for pediatricians to ask, as well as which observations to make about her practice before making a decision.
After meeting with my son's future pediatrician, I knew we made the right choice. The boys have been seeing this same pediatrician since my eldest was born, and I feel confident they're in good hands. It's nice to know they'll also likely continue to see her for years to come.

left three lanes closed, wah
I think cops are mostly the good guys, but I would really like it if they spent their time (and our money) making safety a top priority and not spending the bulk of their time looking for people traveling marginally faster than arbitrary limits, behavior that has not been proven to be a risk.
Wed Dec 1 08:51:20 2004
By the way -- I will miss D and S from the sidebar. But, they hadn't titilated me in a while. Those two are busier than Rachel Ray!
Also...one of my favorite (and VERY inexpensive) wines is called 'Reds...a Wine for the People'. Each cork has a different Communist personality on it. VERY cool. So, I love the heading 'sidebar of the people'. I use the phrase, for the people, all the time.
Wed Dec 1 11:25:14 2004
I think cops are mostly the good guys, too. What I wish is that they'd do a better job observing the law themselves and enforcing the law with each other. How can anyone be expected to respect law enforcement officers who do not demonstrate respect for the laws they're enforcing? Simple stuff like driving within speed limits (when not on an emergency response), coming to a complete stop at stop signs, and stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks is all very visible. If people routinely see the cops breaking these laws (or, as Eric suggested, turning the other way when others break these laws), do you really think the people will follow the laws themselves?
Wed Dec 1 11:42:04 2004
Who wants a cop to be going the speedlimit? No one dares pass so everyone ends up going that much slower...
Wed Dec 1 13:37:53 2004
i got rejected from a jury panel for agreeing that i'd consider police testimony more reliable than defendant testimony. what gives???
Wed Dec 1 14:08:48 2004
I suspect jury composition is all gamesmanship between the two lawyers. Your attitude may be perfectly reasonable, but it might not be the one the defense attorney wants you to have. I mean, he or she might be trying to paint the idea of some kind of police frame-up, after all...
Wed Dec 1 14:29:24 2004
If the media isn't stirring a panic about Bird Flu, then it must really really really be nothing to worry about.
I mean, they made a big deal out of SARS, and SARS only had a handful of cases in Asia and a lot of people survived it.
--Nick B
Wed Dec 1 15:06:38 2004
Kirk, think about the implication of your question, "Who wants a cop to be going the speedlimit?" It implies that, if we have laws that we don't like, the solution is for everyone, including the people responsible for enforcing them, to just ignore them. Wouldn't it be a better idea to change the laws?
Wed Dec 1 15:52:29 2004
I guess, but it won't happen, too many nervous nellies, and probably statistics saying it would cause this many more accidents and blah blah blah. And I susptect the government doesn't actually want to give up such an easy revenue stream...
Wed Dec 1 16:28:57 2004
It's important to remember, re: bird flu, that in most nations, they don't sit still when faced with a threat. As soon as it starts hitting humans in earnest, they'll start quarantining people and massacring the birds in order to contain the spread. It'll be ugly, but they'll do what it takes to stop the spread. In the nations without the public health apparatus, it'll be tougher, and I don't know what they'll do-- big UN-funded bird slaughter plus reparations?
Wed Dec 1 18:28:32 2004

There is a widespread perception that Jewish people like to complain and vent their frustrations out loud, frequently to random strangers in line, and frequently on the topic of their children. Yiddish abusers refer to this as the Jewish tendency to "kvetch." While this may be true for Jewish Adults, and especially for Jewish Elders, Jewish Young Adults of today have adopted a more refined and subtle form of criticism. Specifically, JYAs use the delicate art of nitpicking to voice their disapproval without appearing overtly hostile and while maintaining plausible deniability.
Nitpicking can take the form of noting minor flaws as a way for a JYA to avoid a more serious confrontation. Former sorority sisters, "Talia" and "Jen" have harbored a secret mutual resentment toward each other ever since they forced ZBT member "Ari" to choose between them junior year. Five years later, upon a shopping excursion at Nordstrom, "Tally" informed "Jen" that her Nicole Miller strapless looked a little "snug" in the midriff region and suggested something with "rouging." "Jen" responded, "Um, I think you mean "ruching." Ari, incidentally, chose to play beer pong until he passed out and avoided them both in favor of "Rebecca".
"Whatever," recalls Talia, "It's not like she's Tim Gunn. And at least I didn't tell her she should try on a dress that hadn't eaten a burrito for lunch every day this week. Which is totally what I should have said."
Academic JYAs frequently Nitpick complete strangers. "Dave," a nominal graduate student of literature cum unemployed wannabe policy buff, has a tendency to troll militant blogs and make comments like "Actually, UN Resolution 3397 was REVOKED by Resolution 46/86 in December of 91, get your facts right you ignorant moron."
JYA "Keren" remembers with embarrassment the afternoon she was drawn into a flame war with someone on a message board who called her out for using the word "stupider," which they claimed was not a real word. "I mean, eventually I had to laugh it off, because "stupider" is in the dictionary, so who's stupider now?"
Finally, JYAs will Nitpick in anger and frustration, in lieu of an argument. JYA "Rachel", who had been fighting with her mother all morning, let her mother drive around in circles for an hour looking for the Hadassah offices in Manhattan, which she swore were on 56th, and only after her mother reached complete exasperation did Rachel inform her timidly "Um, I'm pretty sure it's on 58th."
Whatever the reason and whatever the scenario, JYAs have a strong penchant to point out minor flaws and mistakes that they deem inappropriate even when they are so insignificant that any normal person would let it go . Non Jews should feel honored if they are on the receiving end of a nitpicking JYA, it means that the JYA likes you enough to harp on your most minor flaws and considers you resilient enough not need special treatment.

life talks from mind and they talk nonsense because they dont see or hear any genies or they dont hear there voice of there mind and they dont hear voice from other life mind which would give them believe that what they say from mind is 100% true only and when life says anything from mind genies in everything as a genie took name of god where he was just remembering something or doing discussion with someone. Life also visits religious places and they get convinced after hearing good words about god that they are true and they just say something about god he is good and there is nobody better then god whenever they remember about religious place and genies believes it to be true but it is not true because they dont see god and never saw god or hear god they just say by becoming fool that god is good and nobody is better then god and many other words they say which fool genies in everything as a genie sense to believe that life believes in them and life is true and god is true and genies in everything as a genie sense come in reality of life after they get believe from life who just remembered memory about god that god is good and there is nobody better then god and they believe in that truth and genie power increases after they hear life said from mind god is good and there is nobody better then god and when life stays quiet and does not talk bad then genie comes in reality and prove they true and real. If the genie goes in front of life and says how did you said that god is true and there is nobody better then god then life will say i just heard it from people in my religious place and remembered about religious place and just said it and many genies knows life doesnt have consciousness while they talk and they are fake and they can say anything which proves that genies in everything as a genie sense are wrong since billions of years since there beginning. Genies in everything as a genie sense is forced to change on talking of truth of life and they never true and fake only.

Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing: No Mayo
January 28, 2019 4 Comments
My homemade Caesar salad dressing with no mayo was created out of necessity. (I was out of mayo).
But, it turns out to be much lighter and still delicious without mayo or egg yolks! I also make a salad dressing all the time without mayo - check out DIY Salad Dressing.
My favorite salad that I will order out is Caesar salad. It is one of those salads that works with grilled chicken because of the saltiness of the dressing.
Usually, when you order an average Caesar you are consuming many calories (for a salad) which is not a problem unless you are replacing a burger with this salad and think you are being virtuous.
This salad does not have a halo. Until now.
The magic of this dressing is anchovy paste:
I found this box next to the anchovies and above the tuna in your supermarket. Buy yourself a tube and you will have the key ingredient in making this lighter dressing truly taste like Caesar. I believe it cost me about $3.50 and will work for many, many salads.
You can also add anchovy paste to your homemade pasta sauce such as How to Make Homemade Marinara Sauce in 20 Minutes for a depth of flavor without any added fishiness. Add a teaspoon instead of salt and see how it pops!
I know that Romaine lettuce was contaminated before Christmas with E. Coli but it is now considered okay to eat. They tossed out all the lettuce and hopefully we won't have another problem. I buy whole Romaine hearts, chop them up roughly, and wash and rinse them in my salad spinner.
What makes this dressing work is using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for the creaminess. I did add 1 tablespoon of olive oil so that it wouldn't taste too flat without any fat. It works!
Have you made homemade Caesar dressing without mayo? What do you put in it?
Lighter Caesar Salad Dressing
Makes ½ cup
1/3 cup plain Greek fat-free yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, mustard, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Use immediately or store for later use in the refrigerator.
One tablespoon is 26 calories, 2.7 g fat, 0.0 g saturated fat, 1.0 g carbohydrates, 0.8 g sugar, 1.3 g protein, 4.0 g fiber, 65 mg sodium, 1 SmartPts

Believe me when I tell you that I was there in the very restaurant where this Caesar salad originated. In Juarez Mexico, Mr. Caesar Cardini who was an Italian immigrant had a restaurant. Although the recipe given here is close it is not authentic. One or two egg yolk were used from coddled eggs. In the old days they used raw egg yolks. Anchovy fillets were used, not paste. (They take the place of using salt). Don't worry they get mixed with the egg and other ingredients and never taste or smell fishy. The garlic was never crushed. It was peeled and rubbed around the inside of the salad bowl. Use the other ingredients and never use vinegar, always lemon. Parmesan cheese was grated on top. This is a delicious salad that my father would always order. It is easy to make at home and you *don't need* that bottled stuff, sour cream, mustard or mayonnaise.

I've been looking for a Caesar Salad Dressing recipe using anchovy paste instead of whole anchovies for so long! Unfortunately, I don't like yogurt (that is a big problem for me when it comes to a lot of the new WW recipes I find). Is there anything you would suggest as a substitute? I would really like to try this out. Thank you.
Kim on January 29, 2019
Caesar salad dressing never has mayo in it. I've been making it for over 30 years and wouldn't ever put mayo in it! It has olive oil and a second oil of your choice, plus all the other goodies. Anchovies, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, an egg and red wine vinegar.
Sue on January 30, 2019
Thanks for the tip. I make this exact same recipe but with the mayo - now I will try this lighter version. I agree the anchovy paste is one of the key ingredients

Exposure to trauma, delinquency and school failure are related, according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). More than sixty percent of children have witnessed violence and 46.3 percent have experienced physical assault.
If you have direct experience with kids who've gone through traumatic experiences, you may want to join the online forum called "Chronic Trauma and the Teen Brain". Benjamin Chambers writes that the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is collecting information and data. If you can answer the following question, this forum is for you:
"Where are there opportunities within these adolescent systems to better identify, assess and intervene to support the needs and healthy development of young people affected by chronic trauma?"

Between September and early November I avoided the kitchen. Cooking smelled horrible to me. The smells would send me running to the trash can, so I did not cook. I also ate terribly, but I digress. I missed cooking. I would never claim to be a good cook. I still struggle chopping things with a knife. I have never had the patience for precision in measuring (although I think bread making has forced me to get better), but I swear there is nothing like a long Sunday afternoon with the tunes on and making something for the upcoming week.
My big "ask" for Christmas this year is a dutch oven. I've been making sour dough bread almost every week for the last year (see above about September through November), but I would like to up my bread game, plus all the other wonderful things you can use a dutch oven for. They were on sale during Black Friday, so I'm hoping, just hoping maybe I'll find one under the tree.
Here are some cookbooks I'm hoping to find along with that dutch oven:
The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother by Heng Ou. Part cookbook, part information book, it looks like a good one to read before Baby C arrives. Although I'll admit that I could do a better job with feeding myself during this pregnancy (full disclosure, I have eaten McDonalds more times in the last three months than I probably have in the last five years — but when nothing sounds good….), I would like to try to do better both now and in the future. Plus, I want to feel better as soon as I can post-giving birth. I know part of that is out of my control, but what I would like to do what I can control.
Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes by Alison Roman. Who doesn't want this book? I am probably late to the game. I want 2019 to be the year I make "the cookies" and "the stew." Plus, the cookbook and the recipes look beautiful. Also, the reviews mention the recipes are "uncomplicated" and I can go for that. I really can.
Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky. Yes, yes, this made an appearance on last week's running book list, but even I never ran a mile in my life I would want this cookbook. The recipes from the original book would please the non-athlete. The food is damn good regardless of whether you are planning on a long run the next day or not. I am sure this cookbook will be the same.
Flour Water Salt Yeast: The Fundamentals of Artisan Bread and Pizza by Ken Forkish. See above about wanting to improve my bread game.
Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering by Joanna Gaines and Marah Stets. I do not watch the fixer-upper show. I have never been to Waco. So I would not consider myself a fan or even a super fan of Joanna Gaines. That said, I keep hearing good things about this cookbook. From my grandma to friends on my facebook raving about the recipes, I really want to give it a try and maybe, just maybe, I will become a Gaines super fan.
Le Creuset Cookbook: A Collection of Recipes from Our French Table. If you give an Ali a Le Creuset dutch oven, she's going to want a a Le Creuset cookbook to go with it. Does this cookbook not look beautiful? I already envision myself making a delicious French stew listening to some Edith Piaf. This cookbook can make it happen. I just know it.
One Knife, One Pot, One Dish: Simple French Feasts at Home by Stephane Reynaud. Less mess is best. This is another cookbook for the dutch oven. The reviews repeat the beautiful magic word: simple. And yes, I want to make good, simple food throughout the week that does not look like I just threw something together (ok, ok, I know that will still happen but still!).
What cookbooks are on your Christmas list this year?
xo, Ali

Any high intensity activity – running, team sports, lifting weights, all cause temporary muscle damage. Over time, our glycogen stores start to deplete – this is the fuel stored in our muscles.
Sweating also means the fluid in our bodies is depleted.
Alcohol slows down the muscle's ability to repair, by inhibiting the function of hormones like testosterone which help with this. Alcohol also causes us to make bad food choices, and after exercise is when you need to be making the best choices for refueling.
Alcohol is high energy, low nutrition, and as a diuretic it promotes fluid loss. The worst thing for when you're dehydrated.
When given an option of drinking alcohol or drinking nothing after exercise, then drinking nothing would be a better option, as drinking alcohol causes a delay in the recovery rate of blood volume.
Alcohol also has a negative effect on sleep, and when we sleep our muscles are repairing, so good rest is crucial following exercise.
Rather than reaching for the beer or wine after exercise, try getting a healthy mix of carbohydrate, protein and electrolytes straight after your workout.
Sports drinks are created for this very purpose.
If you are going to drink alcohol after sport, keep it to one beer, and avoid wines and spirits completely.
I would agree with non-alcoholic beer. That, or a chocolate milkshake!
interesting that alcohol is actually worse for hydration than no liquid at all! The point about bad food choices is also not wrong - I confess to cocktails followed by kebabs followed by some serious 'never again' in the morning.
My solution - a non-alcoholic beer after a workout. it tastes just the same, is very refreshing, and it's cheaper too!
Personally, a cold beer after a tough workout is a real treat lately. My trick is to drink water, and then to have a beer so I get to enjoy a reward too.
Water water water is your best option, every time. That or skimmed milk. Nothing else is worth paying the extra for.

Blueacre Seafood a Stunning Success!
May 31, 2010
I've been very remiss in writing about Blueacre Seafood, chef Kevin and Terresa Davis's newest venture, which opened in mid-March in the former Oceanaire Seafood Room space in downtown Seattle.
We were lucky enough to be invited to one of the friends and family dinners offered Wednesday and Thursday before the restaurant set its revolving doors spinning open to the public on March 19.
Even standing catercorner to the restaurant (which is located at 1700 7th Avenue-cross streets are Seventh and Olive), you sense a sophisticated, big-city vibe. The space reminds me of some of our favorite seafood restaurants in Vancouver, B.C. (such as Blue Water Cafe & Raw Bar) thanks to its global presence and majesty.
Once inside, you see the bones from the space's previous incarnation, the Oceanaire Seafood Room, which Kevin opened in 2001 then departed in 2007 to start the Steelhead Diner in the Pike Place Market.
Terresa, wearing her interior-designer cap, has opened up the space, revved up the colors, and covered the simple tables with silk screens of a black and neon-blue butterfly wings. Cool!
Food at the family-and-friends dinner, then on a subsequent Thursday-evening visit, was over-the-top excellent. No break-in, warm-up period for this resto! Kevin and his kitchen crew were spot on right off the bat, while waitstaff (unfortunately) needs a bit more fine-tuning and finesse before I can safely say they are up to speed.
What's good to eat? In a word. . .everything.
I particularly adored the Kasu-Marinated King Salmon Collars, listed within "The Hunger" section of the menu, served with Ginger Nage and a royal crown of Green-Papaya Salad, and a steal at $8.95.
While I was chowing down on the unctuous, sweet-salty salmon cheeks, chef Kevin came out for a chat. He confided that, "All the foodies order this dish."
I can see the reason why.
Spencer was thrilled to see Red Chili Point Judith Squid on the menu. It was one of his "must-have" dishes when Oceanaire was still in business (chef Kevin originated the dish) and it's good as ever. . .deep-fried squid in a tempura-style batter that chef Kevin spins his own way with a sweet-hot sauce and lots of serrano peppers, garlic, ginger, Thai basil, and orange zest.
I adored my Fin & Shell Fish Stew teaming with shrimp, clams, and mussels, along with chunks o' flapping-fresh finfish and shell-shaped pasta amid a rich broth that sucked up every morsel of flavor and aroma after long simmering of lobster and shrimp shells. And don't forget the rockin' rouille! Leftovers were equally as good the following evening.
We split a piece of the Mud Pie with our tablemates. Good idea since it was so rich and yummy, a bite or two tickled our sweet tooths, while a whole piece (tasty as it was) would have been overkill.
The wine list is more lengthy than the one you'll discover at Steelhead, made up predominantly (and blessedly) of Northwest boutique wines, with a few California staples (Mer Soleil Chardonnay, Roederer Estate Brut, Turley "Old Vine" Zin) thrown in for good measure.
As much as we love Kevin and Terresa's first venture–Steelhead Diner–we embrace, applaud, and welcome Blueacre Seafood as a much-needed addition to the uptown Seattle dining scene.
Additional details from the official launch press release:
A passionate love of seafood has led owners Chef Kevin and Terresa Davis to this moment, bringing their vision of responsible, approachable, amazing seafood to fruition. Creating an affordable, all-American seafood restaurant adds something new and exciting to the downtown Seattle culinary scene, filling a need for locals and visitors.
The Davises feature wild seafood available from United States coastal waters, as well as carefully chosen and sustainably farmed freshwater species, oysters, clams, and mussels.
Farm-fresh meats, game, poultry, vegetables, artisanal cheeses, American spirits, wine, and craft beers on tap continue the American theme.
In addition to seating for 200 in the dining room, Blueacre offers three private dining areas perfect for everything from intimate gatherings to corporate events.
Lunch and dinner are offered daily, along with brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Happy hour takes place each day from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., with a specialty bar menu and happy-hour drink prices.

Article from the May 27, 1921 edition of Railway Age entitled "Record Train Loading Features Virginian Operation" that described the methods used by the Virginian Railway to handle 8,000 to 9,000 ton trains during the regular course of operation of the line.
Article source: http://archive.org/details/railwayage70newy
NOTE: The file below is large and may take some time to load.
The following was also published in the May 27, 1914 issue, regarding the Virginian:
The Virginian Railway
The study of the operations of a railroad of such interesting characteristics as the Virginian Railway which appears on another page of this issue should prove of particular interest at this time for a number of reasons. The Virginian uses the heaviest equipment and the most powerful locomotives in use on any railroad. It was the first road to use the 120-ton coal cars and its 2-10-10-2 Mallet locomotives of 147,200 lb. tractive effort are as yet without an equal. In 1920, the Virginian led the railroads of the country in heavy train loading. Its net tons per train averaged for the year no less than 1,800, the second carrier in the list being the Bessemer & Lake Erie, which managed to secure an average of 1,764 net tons per train. This high average on the Virginian is being brought about by the operation of trains in regular service aggregating between 8,000 and 9,000 gross tons—trains of 90 to 100 cars being hauled over some districts with a single locomotive. Further than that, in an effort to show what the real possibilities in the situation might be, on Tuesday last a test train was run consisting of 100 of the new 120-ton cars and handled by one of the huge 2-10-10-2 Mallet locomotives, which train had an aggregate gross tonnage of no less than 16,000 gross tons. The full details of how the road secures its heavy train loading and more particularly how it managed to run a train of 16,000 gross tons will be found in "the article. Further than all these things, the Virginian was one of those few roads which earned in 1920 well over its standard return and guaranty; in fact, in 1920 its net railway operating income was nearly double that earned in 1919. The Virginian is a bituminous coal road almost exclusively, 92 per cent of its tonnage in 1920 being of that commodity. It was built for handling this coal as cheaply as possible, its engineering standards being such as to permit the heaviest possible train loading. The manner in which the road has realized upon the constantly expanding coal business which moves to its tidewater terminal at Hampton Roads is one of the most interesting features of American railroad operation.

WASHINGTON — Jurors in the perjury trial of ex-White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby returned to work Friday with no verdict immediately in sight.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.

- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
The seven women and four men have been deliberating for more than a week but have indicated they still have plenty of work to do. They recently asked for more office supplies and asked the judge to let them go home early Friday for the weekend.
"So I assume they will not have a verdict tomorrow either," U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton told lawyers Thursday as jurors finished their seventh day of deliberations.
Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, is accused of lying and obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.
Walton said he would let jurors break for the weekend at 2 p.m.
Jurors have offered few clues about their progress. They've asked only one substantive question - involving Libby's discussions with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper - but apparently resolved it themselves before the judge could answer.
Libby faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of all five charges. He would likely get far less time under federal sentencing guidelines.
Few clues to the jury's mindset
Earlier in the day, it appeared the seven women and four men were handcrafting their own visual aids to help sort out the complicated case.
Jurors asked for a large flip chart, masking tape, Post-it notes and pictures of the witnesses almost immediately after beginning deliberations last week. Late Wednesday afternoon, they emerged to ask the judge for large, easel-sized pages that can be stuck on walls.
The note, which was released Thursday morning, was brief and offered no clues about the jury's deliberations.
"We would like another big Post-it pad," the jury foreman wrote. "The large one for the easel."
Walton said he denied the dictionary request - not an uncommon one for juries - because definitions of common words can have legal implications. He told jurors if they had questions, they could ask him directly.
The deliberations began after 14 days of testimony and exhibits. The trial focused heavily on one week in June 2003 and lawyers on each side used computerized timelines to highlight important events. Jurors may be trying to reconstruct their own timeline from witness testimony that sometimes was conflicting.
15-minute notice
Libby and his lawyers have remained in or around the downtown courthouse throughout the deliberations. Walton has told everyone to be on a 15-minute notice to be back in the courtroom in case of a verdict.
In addition to obstruction of the leak investigation, Libby is charged with lying to the FBI and a grand jury about how he learned and whom he told about Plame.
Prosecutors say he concocted a story to avoid losing his job for disclosing classified information to reporters without authorization. Libby said he gave investigators his best recollection of what happened and any errors resulted from memory flaws.
The jurors include a former Washington Post reporter, an MIT-trained economist, a retired math teacher, a law firm accountant, a Web architect and several retired or current federal workers. There were 10 whites and two blacks — unexpected in a city where blacks outnumber whites more than 2-to-1.
The trial provided behind-the-scenes details of the interaction between top reporters and government officials and of Cheney's efforts to rebut criticism of him and the administration.
The case against Libby
The investigation began with the public identification of CIA operative Valerie Plame on July 14, 2003, eight days after her husband, ex-Ambassador Wilson, publicly accused the Bush administration of distorting intelligence to push the nation into war with Iraq.
Months later, Libby told the FBI and a grand jury that he first learned that Plame worked for the CIA from Cheney on June 11. But he said that amid the press of war issues and other national security concerns he forgot that and was surprised to learn it from NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert on July 10 or 11. Thereafter he said he told reporters he had heard the information only from journalists and could not confirm it.Video: What have we learned about Cheney?
(MSNBC.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)
Russert testified he and Libby never discussed Plame. Judith Miller, who had been a reporter with The New York Times, testified Libby told her about Plame's CIA job before the Russert conversation. Matt Cooper, then of Time magazine, testified Libby confirmed her employment for him. Six government officials testified they either told Libby about Plame's job or discussed it with him between June 11 and July 10 or 11.
The consequences
Walton explained to the jurors that they must weigh the truth of several different statements by Libby in the various counts.
On the obstruction count, Walton said they could find Libby guilty if they unanimously decided any one, or more, of three Libby statements were lies: that Russert asked Libby if Plame worked at CIA and said all the reporters knew it, that Libby was surprised to learn the Plame information from Russert or that Libby told Cooper he'd heard it from reporters but didn't know it was true.
On one count of lying to the FBI, jurors could find Libby guilty if they found either or both of his statements about the Russert call were lies, Walton explained. The other count of lying to the FBI hinges on Libby's statement about the Cooper call.
On two counts of perjury, jurors would have to weigh various Libby statements to the grand jury about how he learned about Plame's job and whom he told, including four separate statements in one count, Walton said.
Prosecutors argued that Libby concocted lies to make his discussions of Plame with reporters appear to be innocent gossip so that he would not risk losing his job for giving them classified information without authorization.
The defense argued that Libby had an innocent lapse of memory, and his lawyer attempted to show that government witnesses also had memory flaws.
