The latest LOK Cooking Challenge ends today and being the procrastinator that I am...I just completed it! LOL
This month's challenge is to provide a 3 course meal (appetizer, main, dessert) for 4 with ingredients purchased soley at a dollar store. You can't use anything from a cold case, only shelf stock.
I spied a can of Old El Paso Chickekn Cheese Enchilada Flavor Soup and thought...that would probably make a good base for a rice dish. I bought a can to take home for a taste test. It was a hit! It had huge chunks of chicken and veggies, perfect for a base. Eileen loved it so much she begged me to buy more so we can take it camping. So the challenge was on.
My purchases... $14.75
2 El Paso Chicken Enchilada Soup
2 sliced carrots
2 tuna salad kits
pouch of tuna
lg can diced tomatoes
jar marinated garlic vegetables
bag of dried cranberries and golden raisins
orange marmalade
mango perserves
sharp cheese spread
chocolate frosting
Let me just say....Cooking for 4 is HARD! I'm now convinced Tom and I will be empty nesters with multiple freezers jampacked full of leftovers. I'll be making up care packages for everyone who stops to visit. It was so hard to gauge how much rice was needed for a main dish for 4. And the veggies, I kept thinking...that's not enough!
I had two options in mind when I bought my appetizer ingredients. I definitely wanted the jar of marinated garlic vegetables. It was what I was serving with it that I was wishy washy about...Tuna. I was leaning toward tuna cakes but I'm not a huge hot tuna fan. I decided to put out both options. So I took the tuna on crackers picture, crushed up the crackers into the tuna salad and added the additional pouch of tuna, formed it into patties and fried...tuna cakes!
Personally being the country bumpkin that I am, I'd opt for the super easy tuna salad on crackers, it wasn't half bad. It also made the meal a $1 cheaper (didn't need to buy the pouch of tuna). Most of the kids who were up when I did this liked the tuna cakes. They were so so on the marinated veggies which is fine by me...I'll eat the whole jar myself!
Main Dish
The veggie portion of this challenge gave me fits! Knowing that the rice dish was bland and orange/yellow in color I thought canned asparagus would liven up the plate. Thing is...I needed two cans to be what I deemed a reasonalbe serving. Can I serve hot asparagus without any butter or flavoring? Then I spied the canned veggies that were 2 for $1. Hmmm some glazed carrots might be yummy. Won't help me on the presentation but as long as it's good. I thought I grabbed an apricot perserves to glaze the carrots with, I grabbed the mango one instead. It worked, made it intersting and everyone liked it...Sean LOVES them!
I simmered a half pound of rice with 2 cups of water, 2 cans of soup, juice that I drained from the diced tomatoes and half the can of tomatoes. Being the cheese freak that I am, I didn't think the soup gave the dish enough cheese flavor to it. To fix this I decided to add a container of cheese spread to the dish near the end. I opted for sharp cheddar since I was making the dish on the mild side. The pepper jack or nacho might've been a better choice for this dish but the sharp worked out ok. This made TONS of rice for 4 people. It might have even been too much for my family as a side dish. People liked it well enough here (I had some as I wrote this out)
I knew the base of my dessert was going to be pound cake. What I didn't know was what I'd serve on it. First I picked up a package of vanilla pudding cups to make trifle. Then a pouch of cherry dessert was in my hand (like cherry pie filling), then a can of lemon pudding, I decided to do something totally different then what we're used to. So I went dried cranberries and golden raisins plumped up in an orange marmalade glaze with melted chocolate frosting drizzled over it. I didn't want to be repetitive with the glazing but thought it was different enough in taste to be ok. A few of my kids aren't raisin lovers so they didn't go gaagaa over it. I liked it a lot and it served the purpose of why I made it...it was different then our normal.
I'd say the challenge was a success. Everything I made was liked well enough by enough people in the house to be ok to serve as a meal. I'm pretty sure I won't be running to the dollar store to get our next meal though.

Menu revisited
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
As in classic form, I have to revise my menu already. Tom went camping Sunday night and bought some steaks to cook over the grill. For whatever reason they were never used. So I now have to make something with them before they go bad. Also I figured it was senseless to make up the delicious chicken and broth without using some of it so I'll add that to the menu too (freezing the rest for another meal or two in the future).
The two meals I'm booting from the lineup are the corndog casserole and Friday night's breakfast. The corndog casserole seemed to be a hit on LOK's Household board so I thought I'd try it last week....it was a hit at our house too. There weren't many people here to enjoy it. A few that missed expressed a desire to try it soon so that's why I added it to the menu this week. Unfortunately that means it's the meal I needed to buy the most ingredients for. That fact alone makes it the sensible one to boot from this week's line-up. Friday's menu is booted just for lack of wanting to have it or do the work for it. (takes a while to make pancakes for this house!)
So now my menu looks like...
Tuesday... Beef and gravy over shells, canned green beans
Wednesday... Homemade chicken and rice soup, biscuits
Thursday... Spaghetti with Italian sausage, homemade garlic rolls
Friday... BBQ venison sandwiches, canned corn, macaroni salad
Saturday... Meatball Subs, salad (maybe pasta salad...haven't decided yet)
Shopping list now looks like...
Salad fixings
fruit for snacks
bbq sauce
refill water containers
bread for sandwiches for lunch (if I'm lazy and don't make my own)
Let's see how long this one lasts lol

Tye-Dye Duo over and done with
Monday, July 28, 2008
We roasted the 2 roosters tonight. I took a picture before we roasted them but forgot to take one before we cut it up for serving.
Never having had free range bird before I wasn't sure how much fat there would be. My thought was, not a lot. Instead of my normal olive oil I buttered the birds using real butter. Then I seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and into the oven they went. They smelled DELICIOUS cooking!
The size of the drumsticks and thighs surprised me. Those two guys gave us a lot of meat even though I left a decent amount on the carcass when I carved them. (planning on making stock with them). My concern that the kids would balk at the idea of eating the roosters and the taste of it were for naught. Everyone that ate it, liked it. I choose a thigh and while it was very tasty, it was also a bit tough. I can see why people cut their chickens into pieces. The thighs and drumsticks are definitely geared more toward stewing. Then again maybe these birds were a bit older then I'd like my roasters to be. (we don't know how old they were) Also I'm considering not allowing my meat birds so much freedom...but not sure about that yet.
Anyways back to the roasted roosters. Immediately after dinner I took what was left and put it in the crockpot with the carcasses and pan drippings. I'll let it cook on low until the morning when I should have a pretty meaty crock of broth.

Savvy Tips and tricks learned along the way...
Beauty Blog >
Mineral Powder vs. Liquid Foundation
Traditionally in the summers I wear mineral powder foundation. That's because my face usually gets oily or sweaty and shiny when the weather is warm. In the winters, I always use liquid foundation for the opposite reason.
Saving Money on Mineral Powder Foundation
I used to use and love Mary Kay's mineral powder foundation. I still love it, but I was looking for a less expensive alternative. So I bought another pretty decent brand, but they didn't have many color choices. Basically light, medium, and dark. I bought the medium and it was a tad dark and did not look very natural on my skin. I was planning on buying the light one and then mixing it together, which I'm sure many people do. However I decided to doctor it with some ingredients I had at home.
Altering the Color of the Mineral Powder Foundation
Because I have been dabbling a little in making soaps and lotions, I happened to have some titanium dioxide, zinc, and mineral oxide pigments on hand. So I started adding some zinc and titanium dioxide to the powder foundation to lighten it up a bit. The foundation was also too reddish, so I added green mineral pigment (chromium green oxide). Since it was my first time doing it, I knew it would be a challenge, and it was.
I had done some research and found that it works well to mix the powder foundation in a small blender (like Magic Bullet) or mortar and pestle. I opted for the mortar and pestle, since it seemed like it would be easier. Well, I learned a few things. One, I had to go out and buy a face mask because breathing all the powders while I was mixing and testing it was making me sneeze and my nose run like crazy. Two, I learned that you have to mix the mineral pigment very well. Apparently I hadn't mixed the green well and kept adding more, only to find big chunks of it hidden in the powder. And my mineral foundation mixture turned an ugly grayish color.
So to save it, I added some yellow and red oxides and lightened it up a bit more. Then I put it back in the sifter jar that I had originally bought it in (from Artistry). Once I started using it, I noticed it was still too dark and gray looking. I had to dump it all back into the mortar and mix more yellow and red oxides and titanium dioxide into it.
Adding Oil Control to the Mineral Powder Foundation
After using it again, I noticed that it was not taking the shine off my T-zone. So I dumped it back out into the mortar. I added a little silica powder from my Mally's Skin Finisher jar. Silica is supposed to be good at soaking up oil. And that did the trick. No more annoying shine.
Still Not Perfect
But I still feel like my new creation is missing something. I'm thinking it might be missing some serecite mica to give it a little transparency and luminosity. The powder currently seems a little flat or dull and a bit cakey. It seems to accencuate the wrinkles on my forehead.
So I placed an order for some serecite mica. And I hope it will do the trick. I will keep you posted as to how I like it once I add that.
Ingredients to Make Mineral Powder Foundation
I am confident that I will master this art of making powder foundation. As expensive as it is in the stores and hard to find a perfect match for my skin tone, it is worth it to me to do this. Plus, I have all the ingredients already. Why not?
Next time, once this batch is gone, I will make the mineral powder foundation from scratch. Most likely using the following ingredients:
Titanium Dioxide (a natural sunscreen and adds opacity to the makeup)
Zinc Oxide (another type of natural sunscreen and adds opacity to the makeup)
Sericite Mica (adds transparency and luminosity to the makeup so it won't be so cakey and dull looking)
Brown, Yellow, and Red Iron Oxides (mineral pigments, use in very small amounts because they are potent colors)
Chromium Oxide Green (mineral pigment that I need because I have a very olive skin tone)
Silica (for oil control; I use Mally Beauty Poreless Perfection Skin Finisher, which is mostly silica powder)
Jojoba or Grapeseed Oil (for moisturization, but not sure if I really even need this added oil in the summer)
Alternative Ingredients
Since I started doing this, I have also seen articles and Youtube videos where people use edible cooking powders to make face powder. I don't think they could achieve as much coverage as you can get with titanium dioxide, but hard to say since I haven't tried it. And it would definitely not have sunscreen.
I've heard of people using cornstarch or rice powder as the base, cocoa powder, tumeric, and cinnamon as colorants. Some have used kaolin or bentonite clay as the base, instead. Which would provide better coverage and sun protection than corn starch.
But I think once I run out of my mineral oxide pigments, I would definitely try cocoa powder, tumeric, and cinnamon. Not sure about cinnamon, but I know cocoa and tumeric are good for your skin. I might be willing to try bentonite or kaolin clay as the base, and a little corn starch for shine control.
Liquid Foundation for Next Project
I still love liquid foundation because if it is moisturizing enough, it can double as a moisturizer and makeup. That way I can skip a step. I usually just dust a light coat of Malley's Skin Finisher onto my T-zone after applying liquid foundation.
So my next challenge is to make liquid foundation. It is similar to making powder foundation, only there is the lotion involved. I am in the throes of trying to find a good facial moisturizer to suit my acne prone yet aging skin. Once I find that, I will mix all the same ingredients into it (titanium dioxide, zinc, mineral pigment oxides, mica, etc.) to achieve liquid foundation. I might even add salicylic acid to it. But I'll let you know how that turns out when I try it.

Wooden spoons/EDM challenge 94
I thought there was a EDM challenge to draw some kitchen utensils but I must have been imagining it. It doesn't even qualify for 'draw a present' because this was given to Mark as a housewarming present when he moved to Norway in 1980. Kjokkenting means cooking things and I keep my wooden spoons in it. I dread to think how old some of these spoons are and I took a few spatulas out to keep the drawing tidier. Drawn in HB and 3B
Update: Thanks for the heads up about the spoon challenge! I simply couldn't see it for looking. The title is now changed. It's nice to be able to cross another challenge off!

Nike's For The NativesReviewing: Nike N7 | Rating:
Nike N7's are shoes made just for the Native American foot called the N7. Nike tested Native American feet and discovered that most of the women have a wider than average foot. My sister got me a pair of these and I have been completely happy. I was able to put them on right away and not work to "break" them in. The heel is very cushiony and would be perfect for work shoes.
There's a compartment within the sole of the shoe that allows for the Ipod Sport. It's a small little piece that communicates with your Ipod Nano. It will track your time, distance, pace and calories burned. I haven't bought the Ipod Sport kit yet, but definitely plan to take advantage of this awesome feature.
The one major downfall of these shoes is their availability. These cannot be found in a normal department store. My shoes were purchased via a tribal clinic that also has a gym. My sister is a nursing director there and had easy access. For those people that aren't local to me though, I have no idea how they go about purchasing a pair. I also wish there were more choices in colors. My shoes are a pearlized white with a blue check.

I go through phases of interest with beauty products. For a few weeks I'll be completely obsessed with blush. I'll only buy blush, coordinate my makeup looks around my blush color, eat, sleep, breathe blushes. Then without warning it will be bronzer. I'll look at all of my bronzers one morning and decide I don't have nearly enough. Then, for weeks, I'll be all about bronzer.
For a long time I've neglected my hair. I've been wrapped up with various makeup product micro-obsessions while my hair gets nothing more than a splash of cheapie drugstore shampoo and a quick comb out with the matching conditioner. It's been a completely uninspired, amazingly monotonous, wash and go routine.
Then all of a sudden one day at Ulta I couldn't bring myself to spend any more money on boring-but-it-will-suffice shampoo and conditioner. As I stood there in the drugstore section of my Ulta, all of a sudden, I was inspired to take special care of my hair.
Now, I'm not the sort of person who buys a product on a whim. For me, half the fun is researching a new product, reading blog posts, watching youtube videos, scouring makeupalley reviews. I LOVE that stuff (it's a big reason I was inspired to create my own beauty blog!). So even though I was suddenly all about my hair, I wasn't ready to shell out $30 for a bottle without doing my research.
Without the time to properly prepare to make a hair care investment I decided to pick up a shampoo and conditioner duo whose price point seemed more reasonable for a spur of the moment purchase. Little did I know, my new $15 shampoo and conditioner would be my new holy grail!
The shampoo is sulfate-free, which I wasn't thrilled about at first. Sulfate-free shampoos are better for your hair because they don't strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. This improves the health of your hair over time and will teach it to regulate it's oil production, but it usually comes at a price; a fairly lengthy adjustment period where your hair is WAY more oily than usual.
Somehow, though, this shampoo bypasses that oily stage and takes you straight to shiny, healthy, not-too-oily hair, no two weeks of up-dos or hair turbans necessary!
This duo made took about a week to make my color treated hair softer, shinier, and LESS greasy than usual! I honestly can't remember ever being this pleased with a shampoo and conditioner. What a difference they've made!
The leave-in conditioner is an added bonus, I've actually been using this for years as a way to detangle and protect my locks before my daily blow-dry. It adds to the shine and moisture, but I take care to spray sparingly and only at my roots where my hair needs extra moisturizing care.
The shampoo, conditioner and leave-in spray can be purchased at Ulta online or in stores.
I hope you enjoyed this review! Don't you love it when you have beauty serendipity, and a prefect product just seems to fall into your lap?
What are your hair care staples? Let me know in the comments below and don't forget to follow me on bloglovin!

How about cerebral? Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti in The Illusionist? Science versus magic? Forget it, dude. I know where I come down on that one. Quantum mechanics is my life. Reality, not myths. Watching a bunch of moist, sepulchral Victorian dudes meditate on the nature of "truth" ain't my idea of a party.
Snakes on a Plane? Some questions answer themselves. Besides, I'm not really afraid of snakes. Tarantulas on a Plane might be a different story.
Step Up? "Hottest movie of the summer!" says Lisa Stanley of CBS radio. Yeah, and Lisa always gets it right.
Scoop? Hey, nobody loves Scarlett Johansson's breasts more than I do, well, except for Woody Allen, of course, but asking me to endure another non-performance from the Woodman to see them is asking way too much.
Little Miss Sunshine? One of the characters has taken a vow of silence, and I have taken a vow not to watch any film that has a character who has taken a vow of silence. My schedule is almost empty, but it's still too full for another self-satisfied indie pissing on the great American middle-class. I can do that myself, for free.
Accepted? A teen sex comedy that's rated PG-13? Are you crazy?
Descent? "The Best Scare Film of the Summer" says Peter Travers. Yeah, but I scare way too easily.
Boynton Beach Club? Old folks trying to get laid? Hey, I'm living that Hell, 24/7. I don't need to pay to see it.
Trust the Man, with Billy Crudup and Dave Duchovny? "Shout-out-loud funny with a terrific cast" says Thelma Adams with US weekly. Thelma, honey, you're a quote whore.
I guess it's just me and Elie Halevy's England in the Age of Cobden and Peel. Maybe things will pick up next week.

In addition to dealing with the shock and confusion that women feel when they learn they have breast cancer, many newly-diagnosed patients must also cope with bladder problems.
City of Hope researchers asked nearly 50 women who had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer if they suffered from bladder problems. Younger and older women alike often reported such bladder problems as frequent urination (65 percent), bladder leakage with physical activity (55 percent) and small amounts of bladder leakage (55 percent).
Some of the women also had urinary tract infections that they had not reported to a doctor.
"Many older women were not bringing up these problems with their doctor because they thought it was related to old age," said Louise Wong, a City of Hope nurse practitioner in medical oncology and a study author who discussed the research at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on Dec. 9. "We believe that breast cancer is causing the bladder problems because younger women reported having these problems as well."
The next phase of the study will examine bladder problems among women receiving chemotherapy and endocrine therapy.
If you are looking for a second opinion about your diagnosis or consultation about your treatment, request an appointment online or contact us at 800-826-HOPE. Please visit Making Your First Appointment for more information.

We took a wonderful beach vacation.
I have enjoyed my family throughout the entire year and I am happy with the person I have become. This was a year of big changes for me and if I don't say so myself I think that I am a much better person now that I was a year ago at this time. I am interested to see what the new year brings for me.

Men account for more than two-fifths (41%) of adult victims of human trafficking in England and Wales helped by the Salvation Army, contrary to the public perception that the crime almost exclusively affects women.
The finding comes in a survey by the charity, which provides specialist support for the adult victims of trafficking on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.[...] The charity's survey found that 45% of those it supported had been forced into sexual exploitation, 43% were involved in labour exploitation and 8% were trafficked into domestic servitude. [...] Minister for justice, Crispin Blunt, said: "Human trafficking is often seen as predominantly affecting women – meaning that male victims are often overlooked and are forced to go without the support they so desperately need."

Historically children's toys have always been collectible, though some more than others. Every decade has seen the emergence of a particular children's toy that has gone on to be popular.
Some old kid's toys are valuable today, especially if they are part of a completed collection and many are highly sought after.
Collectible toys often go through strange phases, make comebacks and occasionally become passing fads. Over the past few decades there have been a slew of kid's toys on the market that have exceeded expectations.
Many of these toys have gone on to become popular and successful and are considered to be collectibles. These and can fetch a tidy sum of money at some auctions and sales.
Some of the companies responsible for these toys include Ty Inc., Hasbro, Carte Blanche Greetings Ltd. and Mattel. Toys manufactured by these companies include My Little Pony, Beanie Babies and Me To You bears.
Soft toys and dolls have also proven collectible, with teddy bears and porcelain dolls still popular today. Maybe this links to infancy when soft toys acted as comfort objects for children.
Here are two of the most popular collectibles from the past few decades.
Beanie Babies
Beanie Babies became a worldwide phenomenon in the late 1990's. Company Ty Inc. first released Beanie Babies in late 1993, but it wasn't until 1997 when they became popular.
The company have even released ranges to coincide with popular cultural or sporting events. For example there was a special Beanie Baby released to coincide with the launch of a new Mastercard.
There was also a FIFA World Cup collection in the mid 2000's, with the toys sporting flags from each of the competing nations.
During the late 1990's and early 2000's Beanie Baby counterfeits came onto the market. This may have led to an eventual downturn in the toy's popularity.
Today Beanie Babies are still in existence, though their popularity has somewhat decreased. Despite this, many Beanie Babies are more valuable than they were upon release. Some have even sold for several thousand dollars.
Barbie was one of the original heavyweights of the toy industry. First introduced to the world back in 1959 Barbie took the world by storm. It seemed every little girl wanted one of the fashion dolls and they have sold well through the decades.
Barbie is manufactured by Mattel, Inc. and is a figurehead brand for the organisation. There have even been accessories and jewellery lines released for Barbie dolls.
The toy has become a cultural icon in America and worldwide. In fact it seems that the only market which hasn't taken to Barbie dolls is China. Though this week, Mattel re-released the doll in Asia and will be hope for a better reception from the lucrative Chinese market.
We are unlikely to see collectible toys nowadays reach the popular heights of Barbie and Beanie Babies. But the toy market in the UK and the USA continues to thrive. Perhaps in two decades time people will look back at the toys of today as being collectibles.

"The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land. Confusion all around." -- Martin Luther King Jr., April 3, 1968.
"As I have walked among the desperate, rejected, and angry young men, I have told them that Molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems. I have tried to offer them my deepest compassion while maintaining my conviction that social change comes most meaningfully through nonviolent action. But they ask -- and rightly so -- what about Vietnam? They ask if our own nation wasn't using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent." -- Martin Luther King, Jr., 4 April 1967, at a meeting of Clergy and Laity Concerned at Riverside Church in New York City
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated"
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history."
"Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up."
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
"You must be the change that you want to see in the world."
"Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as [Gandhi] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth"
".... I have, therefore, chosen this time and this place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth is too rarely perceived -- yet it is the most important topic on earth: world peace.
What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children -- not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women -- not merely peace in our time but peace for all time. I speak of peace because of the new face of war. Total war makes no sense in an age when great powers can maintain large and relatively invulnerable nuclear forces and refuse to surrender without resort to those forces. It makes no sense in an age when a single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by 11 of the Allied air forces in the Second World War. It makes no sense in an age when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be carried by wind and water and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and to generations yet unborn.
Today the expenditure of billions of dollars every year on weapons acquired for the purpose of making sure we never need to use the is essential to keeping the peace. But surely the acquisition of such idle stockpiles -- which can only destroy and never create -- is not the only, much less the most efficient, means of assuring peace.
I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war -- and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task....
Let us reexamine our attitude toward the Soviet Union.... No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.... For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

Osteomyelitis happens when a bacterial infection from another part of the body spreads to the bone. In children, an infection in the blood is a common cause of osteomyelitis. This is because a child's growing, bones have an increased blood supply. That makes it easier for the bacteria to get into the bone. An infection from nearby soft tissue or from a wound may also lead to osteomyelitis.
In children, the bacteria that most often cause osteomyelitis is Staphylococcus aureus or Staph.
These are common symptoms of osteomyelitis:
Seek medical attention right away if you think your child has osteomyelitis. The symptoms of osteomyelitis may look like other conditions or health problems. Always talk with your child's healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
The sudden development of symptoms and the physical exam are key to diagnosing osteomyelitis.
Your child may have the following tests:
Your child's healthcare provider will figure out the best treatment based on:
Your child will probably be treated by one or more specialists. He or she will be given antibiotics. First into a vein (intravenous, or IV) for at least several days, although sometimes treatment will include several weeks of IV medicines. This is often followed by several weeks of oral antibiotics. Other treatment will be given to ease pain. Surgery to remove infected tissue may be done. But this is uncommon in children.
Call the healthcare provider if your child has any of the following:
Also call the provider if your child has any of these in the area of the infection:

My husband and I got married at St. Mary's Catholic Faith in Hales Corners and over the past four years of heing involved at the Perish, we have never been to their summer festival. This year is all about saying YES to new things....so when my friend Danielle asked us to meet her, her husband and son Ethan, we were all for it. Kara, Andrew and their son Landon met up with us there as did my father and his girlfriend Pam.
We grabbed some beers, good food and danced a little in the beer garden tent then decided to take a stroll. Jack was obsessed with being swung by anyone that was around (Brian and Pam swung him in this picture while Grandpa got the beer). It was his first festival and was able to run around, see his friends and play kiddie games. They had an area that was so adorable set up for little ones. Jack grabbed a "fishing pole" and fished for a prize (plasitc pig), he threw the football threw the hole , picked a boat out of the water, chose the Yellow box and spun the wheel for more prizes. He loved it and daddy was so proud to have a little fisherman and athlete, i think Jack's future flashed before his eyes :)
St Mary's is such a beautiful place. Honestly, we havent been to church in a really long time and brought my dad and Pam inside to show her around. Jack played with the holy water and we showed him where he was baptized and where mommy & daddy said I Do. It was cute and certainly a moment for us. We are definitely going to start going to church more often.
Before we left, we stopped by the rides and that Big Tall Yellow Slide looked so fun. I was wearing a skirt and opted out so Brian was brave enough to take Jack on his first carni ride, they were both fearless. Jack held on tight to his little pink pig that he won at the Fishing kiddie game and they landed safe and sound.
All in all, a great Friday night with good company; we are looking forward to making this an annual tradition!

Many such as "Andrew Dearling" "Shipwrecked" "Maz" "Hollie" "Greg" etc. There were also a whole host of hits from "Dan and Xanthi, Attitude Magazine" and various shipwrecked girls names & "topless" or "naked".

Ajax/Prototype/Prototype-UI: Creating a modal busy screen
While I was developing a web based application, one of the operations took rather long to accomplish. So I was looking for ways to create a modal busy screen with spinning image at the center. Most of them involves quite a bit of code. Then I decided to see whether I can make use of Prototype-UI to create a modal busy page and it works!! Amazingly, it doesn't involve a lot of CSS and Javascript code either. Here are the steps:

An arms-laden freighter, freed after being held by pirates off the coast of Somalia since September, has docked in the Kenyan port of Mombasa. Kenyan officials say the final destination of the ship's cargo of tanks and other weapons will be military bases in Kenya.
Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua invited the media to witness the long-awaited arrival of the Ukrainian freighter MV Faina to Mombasa.
"The ship is going to dock at berth number five," he said. "We are going to set up a good press center for you whereby everything will be open."
The openness of the event was clearly intended to avoid the barrage of negative publicity the Kenyan government received after the ship and its cargo of 33 Russian-built tanks and other weapons were seized last September by Somali pirates.
Back then, Kenyan officials maintained an air of secrecy after a local maritime official and the U.S. Navy stated the cargo's final destination was South Sudan, not Kenya as the government had claimed.
Suspicions about whether Kenya is diverting arms to South Sudan deepened after the Mombasa-based maritime official, Andrew Mwangura, was arrested and briefly jailed for making what the Kenyan police described as false and alarming statements.
Kenya sponsored the peace talks that ended Sudan's civil war between the north and south four years ago.
On Thursday, Kenyan and Ukrainian officials meeting in Mombasa reiterated that the cargo represented nothing more than a transparent military transaction between their two governments.
Kenya's Chief of General Staff Jeremiah Kianga said the off-loaded tanks and more than 14,000 rounds of ammunition would be delivered to Kenyan military bases.
The MV Faina was released last week after the owner paid a ransom of more than $3 million, far lower than the pirates' initial demand of $25 million. The ship's Russian captain died two days after the hijacking, but his body remained on board with his crew of 20 sailors for 134 days.
Mutua said the crew's health is a concern and they would be free to leave Kenya once they have had thorough medical examinations.
"These people have been held at sea for a long time in the company of a body and we would like to quarantine them as quickly as possible for a medical check-up," said Mutua. "This is going to be done by Kenyan and Ukrainian doctors to see if they are fit and also to stop any form of infection."
It is not known what caused the death of the ship's captain. A Ukrainian television channel reported Wednesday that military sources there have suggested that the Faina's captain may have been poisoned to keep the cargo's destination a secret.
It is also not immediately clear if an autopsy would be performed and where.

It has been a while since we have heard anything about the much anticipated Nokia Booklet 3G, Nokia and O2 Germany have confirmed that the Nokia Booklet 3G will go on sale in Germany from the 22nd of October.
The Nokia Booklet 3G will be available on a 24 month contract with O2 Germany, customers will have to pay 249 Euros up front for the device, plus a monthly fee of 20 Euros.
There is also an optional flat rate data tariff available, which will cost users 25 Euros per month, although there are no details on the upfront cost with this tariff.
As yet there are no details on release dates for the UK and US or any pricing details, although we suspect that O2 in the UK will be selling the Nokia Booklet 3G for a similar price.Filed Under: Gadgets News, Technology News

At 7gen Planning, our studied, precise and holistic approach doesn't just focus on sustaining the natural environment – it also protects your investment of resources, time and money.

"After looking at 7gen's plan, it is one of the few times that I have thought plans produced on the first draft were great plans."Jordan Mack, Founding Principal | Concourse Companies, LLC
Nearly every community in the Houston region will include a water plant, wastewater plant, lift stations and detention ponds. So why is it that these necessary components are so negatively visible in some communities — and almost invisible in others? In rare instances, some of these components actually work to beautify and enhance communities! Read more >
There are many occasions in which a first meeting with a developer is spent processing the numerous reasons a plan (that was initially done by the engineers or architects) is not meeting the needs of the developer's project vision and goals. Many developers attempt to minimize costs during the due diligence phase by having these professionals make an attempt at the initial plan. Unfortunately, skimping on this phase could be costly later or lost revenue never realized. Read more >
So, you have been looking for that great piece of property for your next, or maybe your first, Master-Planned Community (MPC) to develop. How do you know which one to pull the trigger on? There are many things to consider of course, and of those, the following five elements have continued to be either an opportunity and/or constraint as to if a parcel of land will make a great MPC. A professional land planner can evaluate each of these and interpret the impacts these elements have on your vision. Read more >

Crucem Excidium Cruiser
The Crucem in their starting days used ships they stole to beign their Jihad
of chaos aginst the galaxy. They used whatever they could steal. Then they
began creating their own ships. By the time of the Battle of Hoth they had
created the Excidium Cruiser.
The Excidium cruiser is a streamlined ship with powerful engines and an
unmatched Hyperdrive system. This hyperdrive system works slightly differently
than conventional hyperdrives. It is believed hyperspace is it's own dimension.
However, the hyperspace accesses by this hyperdrive is different. Rather than
the streaking starlines, hyperspace is seen as blue streaking energy winding
all around the ship as it bullets forward. These coils of flourescent energy
crackle with charges flaring throguh it. It is theorized this is a twisting
of reality and hyperspace, beding the two together, possibly even incoporating
otherspace as well.
The ship carries heavy turbolasers and concussion missile launchers to deal
out hevay damage to enemy ships and Ion cannons to disable ships for capture.
The pride and joy of the Exicidum Cruiser, other than it's amazing hyperdrive
is it's cloaking device. this device works on a different principal than regular
cloaking shields. Ratehr than blocking the ship's own sensors it somehow manages
to make hyperspace travel impossible and the energy from the weapon systems
is all drained into ti so firing weapons while cloaked is impossible.

The price of rice offers a measure of the relative severity of the different sieges: a kilogram in rebel besieged Kefraya is $1.25. In ISIS besieged Deir Ezzor, it's $5. In regime besieged Madaya it's $256.
35 muertos de hambre en Madaya, ciudad sitiada por Al Assad y Hezbollah https://t.co/Ndp3Hs0dN1 IMÁGENES SENSIBLES pic.twitter.com/NKqc3pag5D— Infobae América (@InfobaeAmerica) January 16, 2016
The UN repeats mistakes of the past in Madaya
25 January 2016
Two weeks before an aid convoy delivered food and medicine to the 42,000 people of Madaya, a representative for the town's council made an urgent appeal to the UN office responsible for the region. The town had been strangled since July 2015 by Bashar Al Assad's army and the Lebanese Hizbollah. The condition was precarious: inhabitants were subsisting on grass, cats, dogs, insects, salt and water. At least 28 had died of starvation since the beginning of December. The council representative received an automated reply: the staff were away until January 5.
On New Year's Eve, when the UN chief Ban Ki-moon wished his Twitter followers a peaceful 2016, he made no mention of the unfolding tragedy.
The inertia was broken when a determined social media campaign forced Madaya on the world's attention and, eventually, the UN relented. On January 7, the regime agreed to allow a one-off supply of aid. The UN was quick to praise the regime for this concession, but it took another four days before it delivered aid to the town. The delay resulted from the "complexity" of synchronising deliveries to the 12,000 inhabitants of Al Fu'a and Kefraya, two pro-regime villages in Idlib encircled by rebels. On entering the town, aid workers were shocked by the "horrifying" conditions. "There are people in Madaya, but no life," said Sajjad Malik, the UNHCR chief in Syria. "They are fighting for survival. No food, no electricity, no heating, no medicines. People did not even have the energy to complain."
The representative for the UN's Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Syria, Yacoub El Hillo, too was moved: "We saw a people that are desperate; a people that are cold; a people that are hungry; a people that have almost lost hope."
But in a curious statement, Mr El Hillo added that before entering Madaya, "it was at times difficult to determine whether what we were seeing was actually fabricated or exaggerated."
It is unclear why Mr El Hillo should've faced such difficulty. The conditions in Madaya had been known to the UN for months. This scepticism may be unfounded but it is consistent with the state-centric bias of the UN's humanitarian practices. UN agencies are required to respect state sovereignty regardless of legitimacy. And in Syria, they have been reluctant to act without the consent of the regime. This has turned the UN into an unwitting agent of the status quo, allowing the regime to politicise aid.
It has since emerged that in compliance with the regime's wishes, the UN also censored its "humanitarian response plan" to downplay the enormity of the regime's crimes and thereby foreclose the possibility of assistance or accountability.
For nearly four years the regime has used food and medicine as a weapon of war. It started in April 2012 by bombing breadlines, bakeries and hospitals. Since the siege on the Yarmouk refugee camp in 2013, the regime escalated to a "surrender or starve" strategy. Rebellious regions were punished or rewarded based on their willingness to submit. Of the 91 requests for aid delivery made by the UN to the Syrian regime last year, only 13 were allowed to proceed. Consequently the UN delivered aid not to where it was most needed, but where it best served the regime's interests.
Madaya's inhabitants represent just 1 per cent of the 4.5 million Syrians trapped in the "hard-to-reach" areas and 10 per cent of the 400,000 under siege in 52 towns (49 of them by the regime, one by ISIL, and two by the rebels). The price of rice offers a measure of the relative severity of the different sieges: a kilogram in rebel besieged Kefraya is $1.25. In ISIS besieged Deir Ezzor, it's $5. In regime besieged Madaya it's $256.
Still, the horrors that the UN rep witnessed in Madaya did not prevent him from the anodyne apportioning of blame to "all parties to this conflict".
Mr El Hillo's language is part of the compromises humanitarian agencies have to make to function in places such as Syria. But this artificial leveling of moral responsibility normalises repression and diminishes any possibility of accountability thereby removing a potential deterrent to war crimes.
Following the Russian intervention, Mr Al Assad is secure in his power. And escalating war crimes notwithstanding, the UN is now facilitating his rehabilitation. Given the West's exclusive focus on ISIL, the UN lacks leverage. Consequently the regime, backed by Russia, has been able to dictate its terms. It is using the Vienna "peace process" as a temporising measure while consolidating militarily. Meanwhile the sieges are tightening around other towns such as Moadamiyeh. More...

Trafalgar Wharf Heavy Duty Coatings
Situated at the top of Portsmouth Harbour, the Porchester Dockyard was until 2008, owned by Vosper Thorneycroft and was the main centre for building minesweepers for the Royal Navy. In September 2008, Trafalgar Wharf Ltd took over the yard and started transforming it into a major commercial boatyard catering for the growing market for pleasure boat repair and storage seen on the South Coast and Solent area in particular.www.trafalgarwharf.com
Project Work
Trafalgar Wharf contacted Bell Group for their advice and a heavy duty two pack epoxy coating was selected. After suitable preparation and a three coat application, the floor was ready for use and the expensive tyres were protected. Existing tramways were also causing wear and tear on the tyres, so Bell Group came up with an innovative temporary former that could be placed over the tracks whilst the forklift truck was in operation.
End Result
Further works are planned at Trafalgar Wharf to complete the transformation and Bell Group is a key partner in helping them achieve their goal of being the leading pleasure boat repair and storage facility on the South Coast of England.
