Why Thrive Life freeze dried?
Because it's simple! Freeze drying takes away all the busy work and leaves you with delicious, healthy, and easy food. Everything is pre-cleaned, pre-chopped, and ready to go to save you hours of slaving away in the kitchen. Did we mention it stays fresh significantly longer than traditional produce so you can cut the waste and your food budget? To learn more, click here.
Where does Thrive Life's food come from?
We work hard to find the best tasting food on the planet! We only work with suppliers who meet our high standards of food quality and taste, and we don't source from countries with controversial farming practices.
Is Thrive Life's facility USDA and FDA approved?
Our production facility is a site to behold! We are a globally recognized Safe Quality Foods (SQF) facility. Food quality and safety is at the top of our priority list, and we conform to a rigorous safety and auditing standard. We are certified by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which means our facility and products are frequently monitored by these agencies. Our facility is also certified Gluten Free, Organic, and will soon be certified Kosher.
What is Nutrilock?
Our Nutrilock certified products go through an over 40-step, proprietary process. These steps start at the farm, ensuring no genetically modified seeds or crops are used. Our foods are always allowed to grow until fully ripened, leaving the maximum amount of time needed for flavor and nutrition development. From there, Nutrilock products are flash frozen within hours and freeze dried in our world class freeze drying facility. Products must then pass tests with our R&D, Quality Assurance, and Culinary teams before they're approved for consumption. To learn more about Nutrilock, click here.
Is Thrive Life's food organic?
Thrive Life has a few products that are certified organic. Our other products are conventionally grown but follow a strict growing, production and quality standard. Products that are Nutrilock certified meet many of the qualifications of organic like avoiding GMOs, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Our produce is thoroughly washed to remove fertilizers and pesticides and is often higher in nutrient content than organic products due to our Nutrilock growing and freeze dry practices.
Are Thrive Life's foods gluten free?
Many of our products are gluten free as a result of being a single whole food, like Strawberries, Chopped Chicken, or Onion Slices. All gluten-free products are packaged in separate gluten-free rooms to avoid cross-contamination. We are a certified gluten-free facility, and all products that are certified gluten-free have a gluten-free symbol on the product label and online product page.
Can families with allergies and special dietary needs eat Thrive Life's food?
Yes, and it's easy to find products your family will love! On our site, you can search for products by allergy or diet. We also suggest reading all product labels before purchasing. Please note that our allergen-free foods are processed in the same facility as foods that contain gluten, dairy, soy, coconuts, and other food allergens. Our machinery, tools, tables, and work spaces are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before each new production run. However, in the interest of the safety of those who have serious food sensitivities, Thrive Life cannot guarantee that trace amounts of allergens will not be present.
How long does your freeze dried food last?
With our innovative freeze drying process, we remove almost all water and lock in nutrients, which means Thrive foods will stay fresh for a very long time! Shelf life varies depending on storage conditions. Simple Plate meals last at least 6 months from the time you receive them. Most of our canned products last one year after opening and 25 years before opening—and we do it without adding preservatives! To learn more about shelf life, click here.

You can also Thrive-alize your own family favorites by swapping out store-bought items for Thrive Life products. Just follow the refresh instructions found on the product label.

Getting Personal, Armstrong Recounts Difficult Talk With His Kids
We updated the top of this post at 10:20 ET:
Lance Armstrong told Oprah Winfrey that he's lost many things recently: a $75 million sponsorship deal, the leading role in his Livestrong cancer awareness program and the adulation of countless supporters.
But in the lengthy interview, spread over two nights and two-and-a-half hours, the only time Armstrong choked up was when he recalled how he had to explain to his kids that he had been lying for years about not doping when he was cycling.
"I saw my son defending me and saying, 'That's not true. What you're saying about my dad is not true,' " Armstrong said of Luke, 13, the oldest of his five kids. "That's when I knew I had to tell him."
Winfrey pressed him several times, as Armstrong paused, wiped his nose and appeared near tears.
"I said, 'I want you to know that it's true [the doping allegations],' " he said. "They didn't say much ... they just accepted it. I told Luke, I said, ... 'Don't defend me anymore.' "
"How did he take it?" Winfrey asked.
"He's been remarkably calm and mature about this," Armstrong said. "He just said, 'Look, I love you. You're my dad. This won't change that.' I'd expected something. I guess you always expect something."
While the interview that aired Thursday night focused mostly on questions about Armstrong's use of performance-enhancing drugs, the Friday segment explored more personal issues.
At the end of the interview, Winfrey asked Armstrong if there was a moral to his story. He said he didn't have a good answer, but went on to add:
"The ultimate crime is the betrayal of these people who supported me and believed in me, and they got lied to," he said.
Update at 9:50 ET. Explaining To His Kids:
Armstrong has shown little emotion in the interview. But he had to stop and compose himself when Winfrey asked what he said to his three older kids, Luke, 13, and his twin daughters, 11.
(He had the children with his ex-wife, Kristin. He also has two young kids from his current relationship.)
"They know a lot. They hear it in the hallways, not a lot. Their schools, their classmates have been very supportive," Armstrong said.
Winfrey pressed Armstrong several times. "What did you say?"
"I said, 'I want you to know that it's true [the doping allegations],' " he said. "They didn't say much ... they just accepted it. I told Luke, I said, ... 'Don't defend me anymore.' "
"How did he take it?" Winfrey asked.
"He's been remarkably calm and mature about this," Armstrong said. "He just said, 'Look, I love you. You're my dad. This won't change that.' I'd expected something. I guess you always expect something."
Asked about his mother, Armstrong said, "She's a wreck."
Update at 9:29 ET. Apologizing To Supporters:
Winfrey asked Armstrong if he thought his doping may have caused or contributed to the testicular cancer he suffered in the mid-1990s.
"I don't think so. I'm not a doctor. I've never had a doctor tell me that, suggest that to me," he said.
When asked how he felt toward the many fans and supporters who had believed in him, Armstrong answered:
"I say I understand your anger, your sense of betrayal. You supported me forever through all of this, and I lied. And I'm sorry," he said.
Armstrong has been banned, not only from cycling, but from other officially sanctioned sporting events. He noted, for example, that he would not be able to compete in marathons.
"If you're asking me if I want to compete again, the answer is, 'Hell, yes,' " he said. "Would I like to run the Chicago Marathon when I'm 50? I'd love that."
Armstrong noted that many other cyclists who admitted to doping were suspended from cycling for six months, while he was banned for life.
"So I got a death penalty and they got six months," he said. "I'm not saying that's unfair necessarily, but it's different ... I deserve to be punished. I'm not sure I deserve the death penalty."
Update at 9:12 pm ET. Getting Dropped From Livestrong:
Armstrong said his sponsors began dropping him last fall, but the toughest moment came when Livestrong, the cancer awareness foundation he started, asked him to step down.
"That was the most humbling moment," Armstrong said. "The foundation is like my sixth child .... to make that decision and step aside was big."
Our Original Post:
Well, at least it was a good night for Oprah.
Oprah Winfrey's interview with Lance Armstrong drew 3.2 million viewers on her struggling Oprah Winfrey Network on Thursday night.
That made it the second-highest-rated program since the cable channel launched in 2011, trailing only an interview she did last year with Whitney Houston's family shortly after the singer's death.
The second part of the Armstrong interview airs Friday night at 9 p.m. EST. We'll be live blogging just as we did last night.
Here's a sampling of the reaction to Thursday night's interview, where Armstrong admitted using performance-enhancing drug in all seven of his Tour de France victories from 1999 through 2005.
-- Travis Tygart, head of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA):
"His admission that he doped throughout his career is a small step in the right direction but if he is sincere in his desire to correct his past mistakes he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities."
-- Livestrong, the cancer foundation set up by Armstrong:
"We at the Livestrong Foundation are disappointed by the news that Lance Armstrong misled people during and after his cycling career, including us.
"Even in the wake of our disappointment, we also express our gratitude to Lance as a survivor for the drive, devotion and spirit he brought to serving cancer patients and the entire cancer community."
-- Emma O'Reilly, Armstrong's former masseuse, who accused him of cheating and was sued by Armstrong:
"I had only ever spoken about it because I hated seeing what some of the riders were going through, because not all the riders were as comfortable with cheating as Lance was," she told Britain's ITV television. "And you could see when he went over to the 'dark side' — personalities change — and it was an awful shame."

The puzzle of data loss prevention
About a year and a half ago I wrote an article about Data Loss Prevention (DLP), calling it a "red herring," in the sense that it's kind of misleading term. My premise is that all software that's part of your security arsenal could be considered DLP software, since data loss (and the associated revenue loss) is the entire idea behind information security. Even if you don't agree with my premise in that article, it is true that DLP means different things to different people. For some, it means disk encryption, such as I discussed last week. For some, it means software that tracks and prevents sending mail (via mail client or webmail) that contains certain types of data. For still others it means regulating connecting removable media to computers. Or it could mean all three of those concepts, plus others. This is because every company and its needs are different. If you have a company that is focused on territory sales, or some sort of other situation involving a lot of "road warriors", full disk encryption becomes of paramount interest when talking about DLP. If all your employees come into the office every day, though, disk encryption might not make it into your security budget, in favor of something that will prevent moving certain files around in certain ways, or that will monitor and regulate the connection of removable media. Or perhaps there is some other category, such as intrusion prevention, that is the most important thing. When talking to vendors, it can be really confusing if they say they have a DLP solution, but it's not what you consider a fitting solution for your DLP needs. They may have done market research that indicates that most of their potential customers will need disk encryption, but that might not be your focus right now even if you agree it's a good idea. It's possible for one vendor to be a complete one-stop shop for DLP, but if that's the case, they might not have the best solutions in every category. Or they might have almost everything that you would want, including vulnerability scanning and intrusion prevention, but not file encryption, and you feel that's important for your solution. If you otherwise like a solution, you might be able to find another vendor for the piece that's missing, or use open-source software. Just keep in mind that since no two companies are alike, no vendor can really match your vision of what DLP means for you. You will need to be your own advocate and match solutions to your security strategy.

WORCESTER - Gambling opponents are gearing up for a fight on the eve of closed-door meetings scheduled for Wednesday between city councilors and representatives of an Illinois-based company and a Cambridge developer who want to open a slots parlor and downtown hotel in the city.
Mass Gaming & Entertainment LLC, owned by Chicago casino magnate Neil Bluhm, is proposing the slots facility on a 14-acre site off Kelley Square owned by Wyman-Gordon Co.
The parcel has been optioned to Cambridge hotel developer Richard L. Friedman, who with Mr. Bluhm plans to meet with councilors individually in the office of Mayor Joseph M. Petty Wednesday afternoon, according to Councilor at-large Konstantina B. Lukes.
Mrs. Lukes, a critic of the slots proposal, said she plans to attend.
"I want to eyeball these guys," she said.
While Mr. Petty is scheduled to be present, the meetings would comply with the state Open Meeting Law because a council quorum, a majority of the 11-member body, would not be assembled.
While supporters of the gambling proposal argue it would be an economic development boost for the city, critics say a slots emporium would spin off crime, gambling addiction and other problems.
Edward L. Moynihan, owner of a constable business in the city, has criticized the proposal before the council and has spoken with Mrs. Lukes about forming an opposition group when the plan goes before city voters in a binding referendum this summer or fall.
"I don't believe it makes sense economically or fiscally," Mr. Moynihan said. "It represents not economic improvement, but surrender."
Greg Carlin, CEO of Massachusetts Gaming & Entertainment, released a statement this afternoon:
"We respect people's opinions on both gaming in Massachusetts and on our proposed development in Worcester and we look forward to an open dialogue. Our experience in other jurisdictions has been that our properties have been a positive catalyst for economic development including job creation and new tax revenues."
Guy W. Glodis, a former Worcester state senator and Worcester County sheriff, said a gambling emporium would create jobs.
"It's an issue of Worcester's future. It would create great economic vitality," said Mr. Glodis, now a lobbyist for the state correction officers union and other clients. He said he has not been hired by the group pushing for a the slots parlor.
The Worcester plan - one of four proposals being weighed by the state Gaming Commission for stand-alone slots operations - opposed to full-scale casinos - has drawn the attention of a national anti-gambling group, Washington.-based Stop Predatory Gambling.
"In Worcester, they're going to run the most sophisticated public affairs campaign the city's ever seen," said Les Bernal, national director of the group, which also has an office in Lawrence. "The first thing they do is donate to local charities. Then they target opinion leaders."
Mr. Bernal's group has fought Mr. Bluhm's casino projects across the country, and Mr. Bernal maintained that the deep-pocketed billionaire, who hosted President Barack Obama's $30,000-a-head 49th birthday party, has shown a willingness to spend freely on public relations campaigns.
"Bluhm is one of the bigger casino players in America," Mr. Bernal said. "He's made a good part of his fortune getting working-class citizens to lose their savings."
Harry-Jacques Pierre, an associate vice president of Boston strategic communications firm Rasky Baerlein, said Rasky Baerlein has already begun promoting the Bluhm-Friedman bid.

Sounds interesting.
I'm quite liking their website at the moment too; it's not too overly complex but not too minimalistic either. It has the best of both worlds.

Checking In On… the MAACPosted by Brian Goodman on November 20th, 2011
Ray Floriani is the RTC correspondent for the MAAC and NEC conferences.
Nonconference play is the norm and story around the country, but especially in the MAAC. Iona's near-takedown of Purdue raised eyes and caught attention. The Gaels rebounded to defeat Western Michigan in the consolation round in that tournament in Puerto Rico, though, so not all is lost. On Thanksgiving, naturally Macy's Parade and turkey are the order of the day, but the Old Spice Classic tips off as well with MAAC representative Fairfield entering the eight-team field as a viable threat.
MAAC Honors
- Player of the Week : Maurice Barrow, 6'5″ So. F, Fairfield. Barrow scored 19 points while grabbing six rebounds in the Stags' win over Quinnipiac.
- Newcomer of the Week – Donovan Kates, 6'6″ Fr. G, Manhattan. Kates scored ten points, including two late threes to help the Jaspers edge NJIT at Draddy Gymnasium.

High costs and falling sales in Europe weighed on General Motors' first-quarter profit.
The world's largest carmaker earned less than third of what it took in a year earlier, even with a big profit from its bedrock market in North America.
Troubles in Europe hurt the company during the first three months of the year. The region likely has fallen into recession, hit by huge public debts, austerity measures and rising unemployment. And GM's costs in Europe are high because it has too many factories and employees. Union contracts and laws make it difficult to save money by firing workers and shutting down plants.
GM said Thursday it earned $1 billion, or 60 cents per share, in the quarter. That compared with $3.2 billion, or $1.77 per share, a year earlier, when earnings were boosted by the sale of GM's stake in a parts company.
North America clearly is pulling the company along. GM earned a combined $1.7 billion before taxes in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Sales rose by 19,000 vehicles to 703,000, and the company got higher prices for cars and trucks.
But even with that strong performance, GM gave a cautious outlook for North America. It predicted that results from April through September would be similar to the first quarter. That's because it will temporarily close its U.S. pickup truck factories to prep them for a new model that comes out next year.
In Europe, GM lost $256 million before taxes, and it took a $590 million charge due to a change in pension values.
"The U.S. economic recovery, record demand for GM vehicles in China and the global growth of the Chevrolet brand helped deliver solid earnings for General Motors," Dan Akerson, chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "Europe remains a work in progress."
Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann wouldn't predict when Europe would return to profitability and said there won't be any "big bang" moves to get there. "It's an ongoing set of actions," he said.
GM's struggles in Europe reflect the region's economic troubles. Other automakers, including Ford Motor Co., also are losing money there.
Economists think the 17 countries that use the euro are already in a recession. Output is expected to have shrunk slightly in the first quarter after a 0.3 percent decline in the final three months of 2011. Two quarters of falling output is a common definition of recession.
Unemployment is 10.9 percent in the euro countries, the highest since the currency was introduced in 1999, and that figure masks an even worse situation in southern Europe. Spain and Italy are struggling with shrinking economies and budget woes, while Greece, Portugal and Ireland have needed bailout loans from the other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund.
Besides North America, there were other bright spots for GM. The carmaker earned $83 million in South America, helped by new models for the region. The company earned $529 million pretax in Asia.
There were some signs of trouble in the U.S. Its share of sales fell by 1.2 percentage points in the first quarter to 14.3 percent. The company's share of the global market dropped 0.1 percentage points to 11.3 percent.
Excluding one-time charges, GM earned 93 cents per share from January through March. That soundly beat Wall Street estimates. Analysts had forecast 85 cents on revenue of $37.9 billion, according to FactSet.
GM's stock price fell 53 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $22.40 in morning trading.

Richards an unsung leader with Kingsby Curtis Zupke
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Mike Richards almost laughed at the question.
No, he doesn't ever feel like the Los Angeles Kings are his team; not when he doesn't wear the 'C' on his sweater and not when there's an actual captain, Dustin Brown, and other longer-tenured Kings such as Matt Greene and Anze Kopitar in the room.
The question doesn't seem so far-reaching, though, considering how Richards and linemate Jeff Carter have done a lot of the heavy lifting for the Kings in the early stages of this season. Many observers might readily identify Brown and Kopitar as the leaders of Los Angeles, but it's really been Richards and Carter.
Kopitar leads L.A. in scoring, but it took him 10 games to get his first goal and he has three in 15 games. Brown has been quiet offensively since coach Darryl Sutter took him off the top line, though he might go back there Thursday night when the Kings play the Buffalo Sabres.
"They've been very good," San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan said of Richards and Carter.
"Shorthanded they're dangerous. Five-on-five, they've played together for a long time now. They instinctively know where each other is, and both of them have been able to produce. It doesn't matter who plays on the wing with them. They've been the constant pair and offensively I think they've been the leaders for their team."
The Kings have badly needed their penalty-killing because this season they've been shorthanded 63 times, tied for the second-most in the NHL going into Wednesday. Their penalty-killing unit, a team strength under Sutter, is ranked 22nd in the NHL and a very un-Kings-like 29th at home.
"Obviously the percentage isn't what we want it to be, but we make it hard on ourselves by taking so many penalties," Richards said. "It's not just how many we take but how we take them too – right after a big kill we take another one and go right back out there when your killers are still tired. Having to get right back out there is tough.
"There's some good penalties that you want to take, but you can't take that much time on the penalty kill and expect to kill them all off. There's some good power plays out there and teams that move the puck around really well. When you get that many opportunities, you make adjustments and eventually it goes in your net."
When Carter returns from a foot injury, the Kings can get back to the Richards-Carter dynamic. The two did not play much together for the Philadelphia Flyers, but have now logged more than 100 games in L.A., including the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"I think we're comfortable with each other now," Richards said. "It took a little bit to get adjusted, more so than anything, and then once that happened I think we read off each other well, and maybe it's tough to play with us sometimes because we read off of each other so well, and then you have the other guy on the line trying to see what's going on too. It's doesn't make it easy but at the same time him and I talk a little on the ice. The communication's not bad."
"There's some good penalties that you want to take, but you can't take that much time on the penalty kill and expect to kill them all off. There's some good power plays out there and teams that move the puck around really well. When you get that many opportunities, you make adjustments and eventually it goes in your net."
-- Los Angeles Kings F Mike Richards
Much of Richards' value cannot be measured on the stat sheet. It's really more the way he breaks up passes and his active stick that make a difference for the Kings. His shorthanded goal was the 28th of his career, tied with Martin St. Louis of the Tampa Bay Lightning for most among active players.
Kings goalie Jonathan Quick has a good seat to see Richards work.
"He takes care of his own end, which everybody needs," Quick said. "When you get something at the other end, it's kind of a little bonus. It keeps them on their toes … you'll get teams adjusting their power play around how aggressive we are and how we're able to create chances on our own.
"Going in, you know what you're looking for out of their power play and the chances they're trying to create and what we're trying to take away. He's one of the better guys in the League in taking those chances away."
Richards, a former Flyers captain, has had a captain-like effect on L.A., which is 47-11-10 when he records a point, including a 19-5-2 mark in 2012-13. When Richards went out with a concussion in the Western Conference Semifinals last spring, the Kings were sunk without his two-way play and faceoff ability.
Richards deflects his unspoken leadership in the Kings' room, partly because of the aforementioned voices that are already there. Perhaps that's the dynamic that general manager Dean Lombardi envisioned when he acquired Richards in June 2011.
"I think we do a good job of leadership by committee where it's Brown on some nights who will say things Greenie and Kopitar or myself," Richards said. "It kind of gets pushed around to different people, and [Jarret Stoll]. When you have that, I think the message gets out a lot more because it's not coming from the same guy every time."

Replacement car glass window - In the event that your car side window is harmed or broken, there is a chance you are genuinely pushed about getting it supplanted. While the expense is dependably sympathy toward car owners, you may likewise be uncertain about where to take your car for repair, and how to locate the right kind of glass for replacement. The uplifting news is that side glass replacement is an entrenched administration, and in many urban areas you will now discover committed windshield and car glass repair experts to carry out the employment.
Your Dealer is Not the Expert
The minute there is any harm, the primary imagined that for the most part crosses auto proprietors is to take their vehicle back to the merchant. In any case, with regards to car glass window repair, that is not a shrewd choice. The merchant will complete the repair/replacement job by experts and imprint up the cost significantly. You can spare that cash by heading off to a windshield proficient yourself.
Keep away from your Local Garage
Abstain from taking a harmed side window or windshield to a nearby carport. Your car glass, whether it is the windshield, side glass or rear glass, is a standout amongst the most essential wellbeing highlights in your car. Ensure you get the glass replacement or repair work done just via prepared and guaranteed windshield repair specialists. In any case, they utilize just OEM (unique gear producer) or OEM quality equivalent glass for replacement. They likewise know how to introduce the glass to fitting wellbeing principles, and by and large, they will likewise help you handle your insurance claim.
Repair or Replacement
On the off chance that your side glass is only broken, you might think about whether it can be repaired. In all cases, the answer is no. Front windshields can frequently be repaired, since they are produced using laminated glass. Be that as it may, side or rear glass, in all instances of harm, must be supplanted. This is on the grounds that the side window is tempered glass, and once tempered glass builds up a break; its auxiliary trustworthiness is bargained. On the brilliant side, tempered glass, albeit greatly sheltered and solid, is not exceptionally costly.
Normally, in the event that you had more expensive laminated glass installed on your side window, repair is a sure plausibility. In such a case, it is best to take your vehicle to an expert car glass repair administration the minute you detect the harm, and get their expert feeling on repair or replacement. In the event that the harm is noteworthy, replacement may still be essential. Never forget, the principal parameter for any master will be your security.
OEM or Aftermarket Glass
OEM side glass is tempered utilizing a warming and cooling procedure to be about 10 times as strong as untempered glass of the same quality. This gives it toughness and life span. It is additionally intended to break into obtuse and to a great degree little shards on effect, in this way shielding you from glass wounds.
The main thing to do, the minute you detect any sort of harm with your car glass, is to take your vehicle to a professional windshield and glass repair master. The more you postpone, the weaker your glass will get, in the process trading off your wellbeing.
With regards to auto glass window replacement, it is much prescribed that you go in for OEM glass. Aftermarket glass does not generally coordinate the same form or plan measures, and considering how vital car glass is for your wellbeing, this is not the spot to spare a minimal expenditure.

Post subject: thoughts on Pâté Chinois variation
Traditional French-Canadian recipe uses no carrot/celery and definetely has corn. Yes this is Pâté Chinois here. I have always seen it made from ground beef in my lifetime here. Depending on the cook, sometimes the corn is mixed into the beef. I like to layer the corn between the beef and potatoes, giving (at least the illusion) that the beef fat will not seep into the potatoes the way it is meant to do in a tourtiere crust. (I know you remove the excess fat anyway in the recipe). These days, I also do it with extra-lean beef, that I don't remember if it existed 40 years ago. I don't think my mother used that much broth or liquid, probably to accelerate the preparation - this was the fast and plentyful meal for the starving masses coming home from school. Sort of like the occasional alternative to meatloaf. For the people who haven't found the patience to brown the top layer of mashed potatoes, less liquid would also facilitate 'drying' the top - it will not brown easily if humidity is still evaporating from the bottom layer, thereby keeping the potatoes moist. Make sure to thicken (French term is reduire like reduce) the liquid. Also, I have always seen it with plain corn rather than cream of corn, which would add calories, and yet again more liquid to the recipe. As for the tomato paste, people here normally add ketchup liberally over the dish once served in their plate, rather than adding it to the dish. It's not like I'm trying to tenderize the beef with (acidic) tomato while cooking. Similarly, I withhold salt in the dish, because of the large amount contained in the ketchup that will be poured over later. I normally use more pepper and less salt, to every dish that contains ground beef and ketchup in the plate.
Thx for all contributors, I am anxious to try some of the variations posted, particularly the fish and white sauce. I assume the suggested bed of cooked spinach is to prevent the cheese in the white sauce from sticking to the bottom. I might try adding small pieces of broccoli over the bed of spinach. I like cheesy white sauce with broccoli. Cheers

My family has apparently "butchered" this recipe a long time ago. As a child (and even now) we do not make a gravy with the ground meat. We saute the onions, brown the meat with the onions then layer meat, peas, cream corn, whipped potatoes.
I think the intent was for the cream corn to mimic the gravy. I do have to say that it is still my favorite meal.

Post subject: Sheperd's pie/Cottage pie
Nearly the same recipe I use, but I also like to bake a thin (1/4") cornbread crust in the bottom of the casserole prior to loading in the rest of the ingredients. It adds a nice texture and helps keep the filling in place when transferring to a serving plate. Other 'boredom variations' have included 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup dry white wine with 1 tsp cracked pepper in the meat gravy or 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro added between the meat mixture and potatoes.

I like to warm up the milk beforehand in the microwave before adding it to the potatoes. (Tip I saw once on Martha Stewart)

These tips and tricks all sound wonderful!
I had forgotten about this dish for many years. I had it while growing up but never prepared it myself. I tasted it again while traveling through the Yukon and it brought back great memories. I want to start making it for my family too. Thank you for all of the ideas. The kids will love it!

I'd made Shepherd's pie this morning for the freezer, then discovered a link to this site - it's great!
A couple of things:
With the emphasis on increasing the amount of vegetables we eat, I stuffed my 2lb meat mix with 2 big onions, 3 medium carrots, 1 red pepper, 1 yellow pepper, and a mug of peas. All the veg exept the peas chopped. I never thicken the gravy, but add just enough stock to come to about an inch below the top of the meat.
Steaming the spuds and then ricing them before adding butter and seasoning gets them really fluffy. (A ricer is like a huge garlic press.) Don't stint on the butter (but olive oil can be substituted) as it aids the topping to get beautifully golden.
A few bruised cloves of garlic, bay leaves, fresh woody herbs like thyme/rosemary can be cooked in with the meat and removed before assembling the pie.
Oh yes - a heaped tsp of mild curry powder and plenty of worstershire sauce add zing and help cut down on the salt needed in the meat layer.
It's a wrestle to get the stuff cooked, cooled and frozen before it gets eaten!
Yikes - posting as a guest needs concentration

Post subject: Shepherd's Pie
Last night, I made Cottage Pie using Rachel Ray's Shepherd Pie recipe, except I used 1/2 pound ground pork and 1 pound ground beef. I also added 5 mushrooms.
For the potatoes, I used a recipe of Martha Stewart's for Basil-Chive Red Potato Mash.
Good review from my husband!

Post subject: Excellent site! Excellent recipe!
Having just had your site sent on to me, I have to commend you on your presentation - pictures, well laid out ingredient and timeline cards. Nice. Good for those of us who recognize that the family gene for improvisational cooking skipped a generation with us!
One variation I recall from my Scots mother's version of this is NOT mashing the potatoes, but ricing them (using a potato ricer) onto the top of the filling. I found that this added a nice look (it is mostly aesthetic as I can think of no important functional difference) and a few minutes of broiling at the end (after some lower temp cooking) seemed to brown up the top really nice (another poster had suggested that earlier).
If you want a different (and I think nicer) look to your pie (I won't touch the shepherds'/shepherd's/cottage dispute...), get a potato ricer and give me old mum's variant a try.
Also, having done this with corn a few times, I prefer kernel corn to creamed corn, but our mileage (or kilometerage) may vary.

Post subject: something i saw on tv last night
I neat thing with sheppards pie i saw last night was to use a plastic bag and cut one of the corners to make a rather large hole to pipe the mashed potatoes on top in peaks and it seemed to brown a lot more and make a better crust and make for great presentation. just something i saw and will try when i get the chance.

Post subject: Shepards' Pie
This weekend my husband and I stopped in a local pub to have a quick bit to eat. He ordered a burger (of course) and I ordered the special, Shepard's Pie (it was made with beef). It was delicious! I couldn't eat it all so I got a doggie bag. The next day I decided to have it for lunch, my 17 year old son asked to try it and has been asking me to make it for dinner everyday since then. I have gone to my trusty recipe websites looking for a recipe but to no avail! I finally goggled Shepards' Pie and found this website! I love it! I will bookmark it for future use and I will defintely make Cottage Pie. I think I would prefer it with beef rather than lamb. The recipe and suggestions sound great and I will let you know how it turns out.

I did not have a baking dish, so instead I used some cupcake/muffin pans. I was able to make 12 individual serving pies from the recipe described above. However, they did not hold together very well upon serving.

I love this website! And I love Shepherd's Pie!
For those of you not counting calories, cook 4-5 slices of bacon until crispy, set aside and saute the veggies is the fat instead of the oil. I still remove the fat later on (before adding the flour). Crumble the bacon into the meat mixture at the end once they're cooled.
Personally, I don't use celery. Essential: One pkg of mushrooms (quartered) sauted with the veggies and several handfuls of frozen peas at the very end.
Worcestershire is a must, as well as a pinch of red pepper flakes. Final touch is liberal amount of sour cream into mashed potatoes and I triple the butter used in this recipe. No milk necessary. I've mixed in grated gruyere cheese to potatoes before too... sinful!!
I make this anytime I need to soften my fiancé up. Afterwards he's putty in my hands...

Frontier Airlines announced (to no one's surprise) its policy changes to further shift to a Spirit-like Ultra Low Fare model. Frontier has no other choice than to go this route, and I applaud them for making the difficult decisions necessary to survive in today's market. I think they have a long future ahead…
Frontier will now have just two fare classes, Economy and Classic Plus. Economy will be an unbundled product, where you pay for your bags and seat assignment. Carry-on bags are $25 in advance ($20 if you're a member of their "Discount Den" club), $35 at the check-in kiosk, and $50 at the gate. They really don't want you to check your bag at the gate.
Unlike Spirit, 1 carry-on is free. (Oops, my bad)
Early Returns members will have "Discount Den" membership until June 30, 2015.
Seat assignments are $3 for regular seats, $5 for SELECT seats, and $15 & up for STRETCH seats when you buy those in advance; add another $5 if you book a regular seat at check-in, and another $10 if you book SELECT or STRETCH at that point.
Classic Plus fares include a fully refundable ticket, no change fees, extra leg room with STRETCH seating, one free-checked bag, and one free carry-on bag.
Frontier also said that with this move they have lowered their fares in Denver by an average of 12%.
Frontier basically had no other options than to go the low fare route, since they were squeezed by both United and Southwest at their Denver hub. They began transitioning to a new strategy last year, introducing new point-to-point service away from Denver, including a small but so-far-successful beachhead in Trenton, NJ (what Trenton makes, the world takes…)
As long as they can keep their customer service at a moderately acceptable level, they should be able to compete with Southwest while enjoying Spirit-like financials. As Spirit is showing with their continued expansion in Kansas City this week, there are plenty of cities where the 1-2/day service can work, even in markets that have traditionally been viewed as "business" markets rather than "leisure" markets. Frontier has lots of opportunity ahead of them…(I'm a fan…)

Balanced Patch Antenna for 6 GHz
Application ID: 782
Patch antennas are becoming more common in wireless equipment, like wireless LAN access points, cellular phones, and GPS handheld devices. The antennas are small in size and can be manufactured with simple and cost-effective techniques. Due to the complicated relationship between the geometry of the antenna and the electromagnetic fields, it is difficult to estimate the properties of a certain antenna shape.
At the early stages of antenna design, an engineer can benefit a lot from using computer simulations. The changes in the shape of the patch are directly related to the changes in radiation pattern, antenna efficiency, and antenna impedance. Balanced antennas are fed using two inputs, resulting in less disturbances on the total system through the ground. Balanced systems also provide a degree of freedom to alter antenna properties, by adjusting the phase and magnitude of the two input signals.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.

My current (and most active) Twitter account was created in November of 2011. Despite my wordy nature in everything else I do, your platform created a welcome challenge (statements in 140 characters or less), and ironically, became my overall favorite social media tool. I may not tweet every day, but I certainly read tweets every day. However, just last month, while trying to follow a newly discovered genealogy twitter-peep, I was stopped because I had reached your atrocious 2000 follow limit! I was completely unaware of this limit lurking in the background, just waiting to catch me - kind of like a traffic cop parking his car behind the bushes, waiting for speeders. Twitter even takes this issue to that level by comparing those who try to follow more than 2000 as potential "egregious" followers. My southern, lady-like pride began experiencing something akin to the vapors! Me??!! An "Egregious" follower??!! Twitter! You Cad! You Bounder! I Protest!!
Ok, all vapors aside....I really do think this is a problem...and Twitter...I hope someone listens very soon!
Such as:
A. Server space has become ridiculously cheap....especially for larger companies who have solid business plans in place. I know that since 2008, Twitter has upgraded many times to accommodate their ever-increasing user base.
B. Twitter was created as a free social media tool, but they eventually switched to a business plan that included advertising dollars in the way of "featured" tweets. Make no mistake, they are making money now, even if it is not off of us free users. (BTW, just because we are free users does not mean you have to ignore us - our large numbers drive your advertising clout!)
C. Algorithms for monitoring spam-like behavior have also advanced. One thing that tips their hand in this crazy limit is the wording used as they explain why "everyone" is restricted to following 2000 people (which is not entirely true - I will explain in a minute):
"Limits improve site performance by ensuring that when we send a person's message to all of their followers, the sending of that message is meaningful. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter, and everyone is subject to them, including verified and developer accounts. Based on current behavior in the Twitter community, we've concluded that this is both fair and reasonable." Another cute phrase they use to explain why they impose limits is: to make Twitter "a nice place for everyone".
However, they also admit imposing these limits in conjunction with monitoring accounts for spam-like or "egregious" following behavior: "We monitor all accounts for aggressive following and follow churn (repeatedly following and un-following large numbers of other users)."
Which brings me to my point:
Twitter states that "none of our limits restrain reasonable usage, and will not affect most Twitter users." That may have held true in 2008, but in 2013, this is no longer the case!
When I first entered Twitter, I did so with a corporate account in 2010. This made following and tweeting easy since everything was very limited to my corporate focus.....and then I found the personal appeal of Twitter in its wide range of voices to follow. Sooo....Twitter....as a normal user, who happens to be one human being with complex and varied interests....your limit DOES negatively affect me as a user!
- I am a professional: Librarian, Genealogist, Historian, Archivist, Writer, Speaker, Marketing Specialist
- I am also interested in: Technology, Museums, Politics, Gardening, Religion, Art, History, Archaeology, Social Media, Music, Photography, etc.
- I like to follow like-minded individuals or corporate accounts.
- I DO NOT, nor have I EVER followed someone simply because they chose to follow me. Nor do I bulk follow. However, if someone or an institution from one of the above interests is just getting started in Twitter, I will naturally follow them to help with their experience.
And I cannot be the only one!
In fact, I am not....just search for this subject in Twitter or Google and you will see some pretty intense conversations that take place throughout Twitter every day when a new person hits the limit. Although, the perplexing and infuriating part about searching for this in Google is the number of articles that appear in defense of this limit - and the condescending tone of those who back Twitter's claim that this should not affect "normal" users. But then, be sure to look at the date of the majority of those "in-defense" articles....2008-2009.
Oh yeah, take another look at SOME of the articles: they have been written with the sole purpose of instructing users how to get AROUND the 2000 limit. Which makes sense, since some accounts we happen upon are following tens of thousands of users. How so? Well, the 2000 limit is only for folks under a certain FOLLOWER amount. If your followers go over 2000, there is a ratio allowance in place that allows you to follow your number of users + 10%. So, gradually, you could end up following more than 2000 if you yourself increase your numbers well over that mark.
Alright Twitter, I've spoken my peace, you may now leave....just remember, as a social media tool, putting unrealistic limits on the sociability of said tool....ummm, makes you a tool...and not the good kind!
This has also been a public service announcement or apology to those who follow me on Twitter. I have never followed someone as an automatic follow-back, but with this new limit, I have had to REALLY be hyper-vigilant about who I follow. I would say the only good that came out of my encountering the limit was that it forced me to go back through my follow list and cull the herd. I de-followed folks who had not tweeted in many months, even if they followed me and had previous content or connections I wanted to keep up with....and this brought me down by about 200. So I can follow again, but not as actively as I used to....sorry folks....this is Twitter's fault!
Maybe I'm just being oversensitive, but, culling my herd felt very much like anti-social media!

Read more about GIAS
Global Institute for Advanced Study
The main purposes of the GIAS are to facilitate collaborative research on an international scale, and to enable sustained attention to significant research programs that require work over several years.
The Institute will not be housed in any particular physical location, but rather will use the resources of the University's entire global network as its research facility.
The Institute will consist of several working research groups, three starting in 2011/2012 and building up to a total of six per year.
Each working group will be based in an existing department, center, or school. Each working group will identify an important topic (which might, but need not be, interdisciplinary) that the participants of the working group will agree to work on for several years (normally three years).
The working groups will consist of approximately 10-15 individual scholars assembled from around the world. Such working groups might, but need not, include institutional participants as well, for example, departments and centers at other universities.
The faculty participants will commit to attending two short (two-three day) meetings/workshops per year, and to exchanging papers and views between meetings. Much of the work will be accomplished through these continuous proactive exchanges over the duration of the three years of the program. The institutional members might commit to hosting occasional meetings of the working group. Most of the meetings, however, will be hosted by NYU, at the Square, at Abu Dhabi, or at one of NYU's other global sites.
Each working group will work towards an "end product" on its topic, which may be, for example, a published volume, a public conference, and/or a website.
Each working group will receive significant and sufficient funding to cover the cost of travel, accommodation, meetings, video links and other research costs. Further sources of funding may also be available.
Awards will be made to a group leader and a particular project that he or she will lead. The selection of awardees will be made by the Steering Committee of the GIAS, in consultation with the Provost's Advisory Group of academic leadership and (senior) vice provosts.
Deans and other members of the Provost's Advisory Group will be invited to submit to the Director their nominations of strong candidates from the various schools. The Steering Committee will then select a certain number from among these nominees and invite them to work with the Director to develop a funding proposal.

Programming languages with a Lisp-like syntax extension mechanism
I'm making a programming language, and, having spent some time in Lisp/Scheme, I feel that my language should be malleable. Should I use macros, or is there something else I might/should use? Is malleable syntax even a good idea? Is it perhaps too powerful a concept?
In doing some research, I found

Is it possible to have a language with macros/something-of-a-similar-nature without having s-expressions?

Purging History
Jerry and I spent this weekend at his parents in Virginia assisting them in downsizing and preparing their home for sale for their eventual move to a retirement community near our home.
Do you know how difficult it is to go through someone else's things and make recommendations on what to keep and what not to keep? I thought it would be so easy to make my "keep," "donate," and "trash" piles, but it was much more involved than that. I was privileged to see the coat hanger that belonged to Jerry's grandfather, touch the vase that was sitting in his grandmother's room as she lay dying in his childhood home, go through a lifetime of cherished crafts (from quilting, floral arranging and sewing that Alice loved, to Bill's beloved gardening). Thankfully, Bill and Alice are able to fill in the blanks when we can't figure out why there are 15 pairs of gardening gloves (Bill couldn't find one, so he bought another pair...) or why there was 8 garbage sacks of fabric remnants (Alice used to go to an upholstery store and purchase remnants for her quilting).
This weekend was a special time for us to get know Jerry's parents a little better and appreciate what they have done through the years. It is helping me to figure out that memories lie not in things but lie within our hearts and souls and the stuff we acculumate can drag us down, if we let it. Bill & Alice were paralyzed by the overwhelming amount of things to sort through. Now I want to go through my own house and purge, purge, purge and really look at the things that I surround myself with. Are my "things" keeping me from moving forward or are they a gentle reminder of a cherished memory? A little is fine, but too much is a drag!

Your browser does not support iframes.
As I'm writing this column, it's my great-granddaughter's final day of school in Maryland. She is moving back to Lancaster.
My daddy firmly believed boys should have summer jobs. I mean in addition to those around the house. Somebody real famous said something about idle minds getting folks into trouble, and Daddy certainly didn't want me to get into more trouble than I normally did.
The sun was boiling. You know, just one of those Carolina scorchers when the air blew in dry gusts and the leaves on the elms between the sidewalk and street seemed to curl up like brittle weeds.
I had a way of telling time based on the way things usually happened. It felt like about half past two. Of course a better way was listening for the sound of steel horseshoes plopping down on the street pavement. The ice wagon was coming.
I enjoy dragging out old situations just so folks nowadays don't forget. On June 6th, 1951, half of the male graduating class piled on buses to enlist in the armed forces. America had another war going on.
That was a big thing for young men my age, but nothing compared to America's best-kept secret of 1944.
During the early hours of Tuesday, June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of France. The military invasion of Europe had begun. World War II's D-Day arrived in a hail of bullets and bombs.
Editor's note: Bill and Mary Evans celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this week. Bill is a member of the Lancaster News family, writing "Remember When" columns since 2006. William B. and Mary Rankin Evans were married May 29, 1951, in Chester. They have two children, Kathryn Stogner and Blake Evans, two grandchildren and four great-grands. We asked Bill to let his mind drift back over 65 years of marriage and give us – and Mary – a glimpse of what he sees.
Come on, be truthful and tell me when was the last time you saw a boy and his dog walking down the street or along a country road?
Where are the herds of young folks riding bicycles or walking along with a bamboo cane fishing pole over their shoulder and beside them the best friend in the world, their dog?
Now, dogs come in all kinds of packages, just like their young masters. I gotta admit, at times, both look pretty scruffy.
The change of seasons was an old family tradition when I was growing up, something that happened the same way every time.
It would be almost the middle of May, with a few really hot days already, but Mama had her way of doing things and nothing ever seemed to change.
To tell the truth, I was a-itching and a-sweating, still stuck in my thick, itchy winter underwear. And that wool double blanket was still between the sheets.
A brand new bike topped my want list. But the bombing of Pearl Harbor just about wiped me out of any hope to have a new bicycle, complete with battery, horn, headlight and custom luggage carrier.
To this very day, I don't really believe the government "froze" delivery on all the bicycles that Sears, Roebuck had in stock to help out the war effort.
You folks in Lancaster have been lucky with all the sun and warm weather. While visiting in Maryland, I have been basking in the cool breezes and raindrops.
The last 18 days have each included a shower or two. In a friendly way, the rain isn't too unpleasant.
Seems like it always rained on my birthday and Christmas morning, so a fella just learns to do some adjusting.
He was a retired minister, and his flock was small, but his messages were timely.
We were making small talk out on the front steps when a fancy new car swoshed by. That baby is way out of my price range, I remarked. Pastor Lynn said, "Sorta makes one covet, doesn't it?"
During my relatively long life, I must confess, I have probably stacked up a goodly share of time just sitting and looking. When you tack on a lot of thinking, that surely gets mighty close to laziness.
Now, I'm not one of those Devil's Workshop characters who sit around apparently doing much of nothing and end up in trouble.

As time goes by, California winemakers, who, after all, started seriously only in the 1960s and 1970s, grow more sophisticated in making wine, and American wine fans grow more knowledgeable in drinking it.
So there has risen an appreciation of "terroir" … a somewhat indefinable French term that brings together soil, climate, history, even winemaking tradition.
A good example of California terroir is its Russian River Valley.
The Russian River cuts through some of Northern California's most beautiful and best grape-growing country. It starts in Mendocino County and meanders south and west through Sonoma County to reach the Pacific Ocean at the Petaluma Gap north of San Francisco.
There's history to a name like that: Russian settlers trapped and farmed on the land after 1812, building the historic Fort Ross and probably planting the area's first
grapes. But by 1841 they were gone, as imperial Russia lost interest in North America, eventually selling Alaska to the United States in 1867.
To wine lovers, the Russian River Valley means an area akin to France's Burgundy region, famous for its delicate, complex pinot noirs. The weather is perfect for pinot noir. Afternoon temperatures can reach 100 degrees, but at night the Pacific Ocean fog creeps up the river … yes, yes, on cat feet … and chills the grapes to as low as 50 degrees. That nightly break from ripening preserves the acids that give the wines their pleasant crispness.
If nothing else, it's a beautiful area, with rolling hills, valleys and tall redwoods. There are places there where you can sit at an outdoor restaurant table, reach over and Touch a tree that seems 100 feet tall.
With decades of practice, now, wineries are becoming more sophisticated in capitalizing on the valley's climate. Wineries with big plots of vines have divided the best of them into "single vineyards whose soils and microclimates give special and individual flavors to wines made from their grapes.
In the Russian River Valley, Marimar Estate now has taken this a step further. It has divided its Don Miguel Vineyard into separate blocks … La Masia, Stony Block, Earthquake Block … and is making separate wines from each of them. And it is selecting the best grapes from the entire vineyard to make 20 barrels of the best wine it can make, and dubbing it "Cristina," after the daughter of vineyard owner Marimar Torres.
