Our culinary theme, Impostors, challenged the group to prepare food that appeared to be something it was not. I'm a Believer in the creativity of our group. No Soggy Pretzels or Porcupine Pie, but we did have some dishes that went down easier with some Red, Red Wine...If You Know What I Mean.
I knew right away I wanted to re-create a salad of roasted beets, all dressed up like Ahi Poke. After tasting Chef Rossman's version a few months ago, at Where the Wild Things Are Food and Wine Classic, I thought The Time is Now.
Jeff Rossman is the chef/owner of Terra American Bistro, and he was kind enough to respond to my request for the recipe "I don't have a recipe, but all you have to do is roast a beet or two, dice it and, when you're ready, toss with a little sesame oil, sliced green onion, sambal (chili vinegar sauce), sesame seeds, soy sauce, and a touch of salt and pepper. Easy..."
And that's what I did - I also added a bit of seaweed salad to the mix (I used 2 parts soy to 1 part sesame oil for the dressing). Will I make this again? Yes I Will.
John, my man who is Forever in Blue Jeans, snapped this photo of me, looking like a Kentucky Woman, with Chef Impostors, Julie and Hillari.
Jack, with his One Good Love, Sandra, will never be a Solitary Man...as long as he doesn't wear his Neil Diamond shirt too often.
After deciding on my Beet Poke, The Last Thing on My Mind, was making a second dish. However, while getting a pedicure and flipping through Better Homes and Gardens, I came across this dish and couldn't resist. I Got the Feelin' John would love these Bacon Bar and Chorizo Stuffed Dates with Spicy Oaxaca Red Sauce. They may not have fit with the "impostor" theme, because I'm not sure what they appeared to be at first glance, but Lady-Oh. There's simply No Limit when it comes to chocolate.
The photo below is from Peace, Love and Chocolate, where you can also find the recipe.
And this is a photo of my Stuffed Dates. See what I mean? They could be small testicles wrapped in bacon...Come to think of it, Kai has been pushing for an Offal Challenge.
And the Singer Sings His Song...
You Don't Bring Me Flowers, Carmen, but you put me to Shame with these Coxinhas! Coxinhas are Brazilian snacks, made with shredded chicken, spices, and Catupiry, a Brazilian creamy-style cheese, enclosed in batter, and deep-fried. Coxinha literally means "little thigh"- and it is how chicken drumsticks are known in Brazil. Sometimes, a toothpick is inserted where the bone would be, but Carmen took it to a more creative level with baby corn. After a few of these, I was Dancing in the Street.
If I Lost My Way, I would want it to be lost in Carmen's broccoli forest! On the outside, it appears to be a loaf cake. Slice it open, and you'll see broccoli trees growing out cocoa-tinted soil into a savory sky of cake. You can find the recipe for Broccoli Cake at Not Quite Nigella.
Just when we thought we might be Home Before Dark, Julie broke out her box of Ferrero Chocolates. But wait, intermingled with the chocolates were Salmon Cheesecake Truffles! Salmon from a recent fishing trip in Alaska...
Chris presented this stunning Pistachio Cake, which I'm pretty sure made Bradley Walk on Water. It was actually wheels of Brie, frosted with Mascarpone.
Sweet Caroline! We had Kai and Olivia's meatloaf and mashed potatoes masquerading as this Pretty in Pink Cake...
And Nina's Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Preserves, Whipped Cream and Mint, masquerading as Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes!
Ride, come on baby, ride
Let me make your dreams come true
I'll sing my song
Let me make it warm for you...
Can you hear it, babe
Can you hear it, babe
From another time
From another place
Do you remember it, babe...
It's a beautiful noise
Made of joy and of strife
Like a symphony played
By the passing parade
It's the music of life...

Well, he finally said it.
GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum announced that he rejects the idea that church and state should be separated.
Specifically, while explaining that John F. Kennedy's comments about the issue made him "throw up," he said:
What kind of country do we live that says only people of non-faith can come into the public square and make their case?
On ABC's "This Week," he also said:
"I don't believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute."
Okay, fine. We knew that was coming. And it's probably an honest statement of Santorum's opinion. And there's no question that tens of millions of Americans wholeheartedly agree with him.
So we just have one question for the former Senator:
Which faith?
Which faith do people who "come into the public square" have to have?
Any faith?
Or your faith?
Specifically, is it cool if someone of Jewish faith comes into the public square?
How about Buddhist faith?
How about Muslim faith?
Those are big, popular faiths with lots of adherents. The third one in particular tends to freak out a lot of people--especially Christian people who think that their faith is The Faith that should be the one required for people who come into the public square.
So we just want to get your answer on record.
If you don't believe in the absolute separation of church and state, and you want people in government to be people of faith, can we assume that you would be totally cool with having a devout Muslim be President--and make Presidential decisions, in part, on the teachings of his or her faith?
Or is what you're really saying is that you think that US government positions should only be open to those of Christian faith?
And, if so, wouldn't you like to limit it a bit further? There are lots of different kinds of Christians out there, and they believe very different things. (Some of them even believe in the separation of church and state!)
You're running for President here, and some people are still taking your candidacy seriously, and this is an important issue, so we would appreciate a clarification.

Sunday Sweets: Halloween Treats
Sooo, what are you going to be for Halloween this year?
What's that you say?
You don't KNOW!?
Well, let's fix that problem right now.
How about a ghost?
Submitted by Patti and made by Cakes by Erin
Spooky and easy! A ghost costume, that is. This cake looks anything but easy with all the tiny spiders and snakes and spooks popping out all over the place.
Or, if scary isn't your thing, you could be an adorable little kitty cat, like this:
Submitted by Carrie C. and made by Wendy's Taarten
Everything about this scene is SO cute. Even the headstones look cheerful. RIP, okie dokie!?
Or, a vintage kitty cat! It's the same thing, only with a trendier name!
This artwork really takes me back. To where, I'm not sure. I can't remember if this was a picture book or a cartoon, but it is SO familiar. Anyone?
Anyway, is your issue that you just can't make up your mind? Witch, pumpkin, skeleton ... what to choose, what to choose...
Submitted by Sarah M. and made by Megan Babuska of Classic Cakes
Hey, why not be all three? A skele-jack-o-witch! A witchin-jack-o-ton! A jack-o-witchy-skels! I don't know. Just be generous with the glitter and you really can't go wrong. (I LOVE the hat, it's like The Sorting Hat goes to a formal occasion).
Dracula is always a classic crowd-pleaser:
Submitted by Tammy S. and made by Jen Gray of Over the Top Cakes
And vampires are like, so hip right now. At least the broody teenage variety. (And, hey, you can be generous with the sparkly glitter on those, too!)
Speaking of broody, have you considered being Frankenstein? (I know, I know, don't tell me. Frankenstein was actually the name of the doctor who created the monster. I know. Ninety-nine percent of planet Earth still calls him Frankenstein anyway.)
'Course, the only thing I'm calling is the cops, because there's a monster decapitator in the area! Seriously, this things looks so real, I half expect it to start talking to me. Creee to the pee.
Still undecided? Well, it's not Halloween yet. You've still got time to go over-the-top with your costume. How about an alien Cthulhu!
(Be kind to me; I have no idea what this thing is. After many fruitless attempts to spell it, I finally had to Google "tentacle beard." It is awesome nonetheless. As is any cake with nipples).
And now, a few helpful Halloween tips from me to you:
Don't forget to wear reflective clothing. Don't go out alone. Look both ways. Carry a flashlight.
And don't let anyone jack your candy.
Also, only trick-or-treat at homes you are familiar with. This one looks ok:
This one, I'd probably avoid:
At all costs.
And please, if you must drink,
...drink responsibly.
And most of all...
Have a Very Happy Halloween!

If you've ever been plagued by the question "what are they eating for breakfast in North Dakota right now?" I have an answer for you: if it's a special day, probably cinnamon toast with Cheez Whiz. No, I am not kidding. I have it on good authority from locals that this is something that they actually do, without a trace of irony. Curious, I gave it a try, and have to assign it this verdict: it's terrible. It's awful. I couldn't stop eating it.
This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, or quadrupled.
Cinnamon Toast With Cheez Whiz
1 serving
- 2 slices cinnamon swirl bread (with or without raisins)
- 2 tablespoons Cheez Whiz
Toast the cinnamon swirl bread. Smear each slice with a tablespoon of Cheez Whiz. Enjoy.

I returned home the other day, after nearly a week away, to this:
It was a 'Welcome Home' party, organized by Emilia, the place of honor dedicated to me and adorned with messages of love, 'because we missed you, Mommy.'
Which: OOF. My heart, my heart. Do I deserve this? I don't deserve this. I'm an absentee mother; I am undeserving. I am unworthy of such devotion, I am…
I am FOURTH PLACE in Emilia's rankings of Best Mom Ever.
Which, if I'm being honest, is probably better than I might have expected.

Collecting & Analyzing Data
Once an assessment is complete, the next step is to collect and analyze the data. Since the goal of assessment is improvement at the course and program level, not evaluation of individual faculty members, it is recommended that assessment data be reported to the department at the course level (as opposed to the section level). If there is only one section of a course taught each semester, a department may want to collect several semesters' worth of data before combining it at the course level for reflection and action planning.
Assessment data should lead to dialogue and affect decision-making for each department. After assessment data is available, departments should discuss improvements to the course and/or program suggested by the assessment data.
Just as departments should involve as many faculty as possible in
planning the assessment (full-time and part-time), departments should
plan time to discuss and analyze the results that will allow for
maximum participation.
- Consider using department meeting or retreat time
- Use FLEX hours when possible
- Consider online collaboration options
- Communicate through email (or hard copies of handouts in mailboxes) with those not able to attend
- Post assessments onUse departmental SLO webpages for planning and sharing information
As your department considers the assessment data, you might ask
yourself questions such as these:
If the number of students meeting the SLO is not consistent with
the expected results listed in the assessment plan, why do you think
that might be?
- Was the expected results number set at an appropriate level?
- Would a different assessment tool be a better measure of student learning?
- Should follow-up assessments try to target specific, smaller skills needed to achieve the SLO to help determine where students are having difficulty?
- What could be changed about the course or program to improve student learning?
- Should pacing or emphasis within a course or program be adjusted?
- Should there be changes to student resources or services?
- Are there additional resources that would help to improve
student learning?
If the number meets or exceeds the expected result, what factors do
you think contributed to student success in meeting the SLO?
- How might these factors be brought to positively impact other courses and programs?
- Are there relative weaknesses among specific, smaller skills needed to achieve the SLO? If so, how could learning be improved in those areas?
- Does the department want to consider a different assessment tool the next time the course is assessed to get a different kind of data about student learning?
- Should the expected result be set higher the next time the
course is assessed?
Regardless of the results, how will these results inform other
decisions for the department?
- How do the results of this assessment fit into the larger picture of the program or department?
- Is there a need for professional development on specific topics?
- Should budgeting priorities change?
- Should staffing or other resources be adjusted?
- Do the results inspire other ideas for improvements?
It is important to allow enough time for brainstorming and discussion – dialogue and inquiry are the most important parts of the SLO process, so this stage should not be rushed.
Keep in mind that accreditation standards do not suggest that if the assessment process reveals that some outcomes are not being met by a number of students, the institution or instructor will be punished. Rather, it requires that the information gained through the assessment process be used to improve teaching and learning.
This is how the loop is closed: faculty return to the student learning outcomes and reassess them and the teaching and learning process, making appropriate adjustments based on the specific knowledge of how well students are meeting the outcomes.

In October 1996, Congress passed Public Law 104-262, the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996. This legislation paved the way for the creation of a Medical Benefits Package - a standard enhanced health benefits plan available to all enrolled veterans. Like other standard health care plans, the Medical Benefits Package emphasizes preventive and primary care, offering a full range of outpatient and inpatient services.
VA places a priority on improved veteran satisfaction. Their goal is to ensure the quality of care and service you receive is consistently excellent, in every location, in every program. Under the Medical Benefits Package, VA offers you, the veteran, a comprehensive health care plan that provides the care you need.
Our office will assist you in completing the application for medical benefits, VA Form 10-10EZ. Please contact Mecklenburg County Veterans Services at 704-000-0000. Walk in assistance is available at our office located at Hal Marshal Service Center, 700 N. Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC.

What are the Priority Groups?
Once you apply for enrollment (VA Form 10-10-EZ), your eligibility will be verified. Based on your specific eligibility status, you will be assigned a priority group.
The priority groups are as follows, ranging from 1-8 with 1 being the highest priority for enrollment. Under the Medical Benefits Package, the same services are generally available to all enrolled veterans.
As of January 17, 2003, VA is not accepting new Priority Group 8 veterans for enrollment (veterans falling into Priority Groups 8e and 8g).

Food & Agriculture
From farm to plate, the food we eat affects our environment, health, and economies. These trends tackle the big issues driving the global food system, including seafood and meat consumption, irrigation, agriculture, and grain production.
Mar 24, 2015
Genetically Modified Crop Industry Continues to Expand
Genetically modified (GM) crops have had their genetic materials engineered through biotechnologies to introduce new or enhanced characteristics (traits), such as herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, enhancement of certain nutrients, and drought tolerance. The global plantation area of GM crops has been growing for more than two decades, since they were first commercialized in the early 1990s, and it reached 181.5 million hectares in 2014.1 (See Figure 1.) But the annual growth rate has slowed considerably, from over 125 percent in the late 1990s to 6.3 percent in the early 2010s.2
Mar 09, 2015
Food Trade and Self-Sufficiency
Imports of grain globally increased more than fivefold between 1960 and 2013 as more nations turned to international markets to help meet domestic food demand. For some countries, the imported share of domestic grain consumption has risen substantially. In 2013, more than a third of the world's nations—77 in all—imported at least 25 percent of the major grains they needed. This compares to just 49 countries in 1961, an increase of 57 percent over half a century.

Volatile Cotton Sector Struggles to Balance Cost and Benefits
Cotton has been grown by human civilizations for thousands of years. Promoted as "the fabric of our lives" in a long-running U.S. advertising campaign, it remains by far the most important natural fiber for textiles, although it continues to lose ground to synthetic fibers. Cotton's share of all fibers worldwide was 88 percent in the 1940s and 68 percent in 1960. But by 2010 it had declined to just 33 percent, while synthetic fibers grew to 60 percent, and wool, flax, and cellulosic fibers accounted for the remainder.

Chronic Hunger Falling, But One in Nine People Still Affected
Although the proportion of people experiencing chronic hunger is decreasing globally, one in nine individuals still does not get enough to eat. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 805 million people were living with undernourishment (chronic hunger) in 2012–14, down more than 100 million over the last decade and 209 million lower than in 1990–92. The vast majority of undernourished people live in developing countries, where an estimated 791 million people—or one in eight—were chronically hungry in 2012–14.

Peak Meat Production Strains Land and Water Resources
Global meat production rose to an estimated 308.5 million tons in 2013, an increase of 1.4 percent over 2012. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) forecasts additional growth of 1.1 percent in 2014 to 311.8 million tons. Production is thus reaching new peaks, despite drought conditions in Australia and New Zealand and disease outbreaks in the United States and Eastern Europe. However, the annual rate of growth has slowed from 2.6 percent in 2010.
Aug 05, 2014
Coffee Production Near Record Levels, Sustainable Share Rising
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA-FAS), world coffee production during the 2013/14 crop year was just slightly over 9 million tons, down 3.2 percent from the record 9.3 million tons in 2012/13. The decline was largely due to developments in Brazil, where production has suffered from a mix of such adverse factors as frost damage in Paraná, prolonged drought, and high temperatures in Minas Gerais and São Paulo states.
Apr 24, 2014
Aquaculture Continues to Gain on Wild Fish Capture
According to preliminary estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), total global fish production was expected to reach an all-time high of 160 million tons in 2013, up from 157.9 million tons in 2012. This figure includes a projected wild capture of 90 million tons, down from 91.3 million tons in the previous year and from 93.7 million tons in 2011.
Feb 28, 2014
Agricultural Subsidies Remain a Staple in the Industrial World
In 2012, the most recent year with data, agricultural subsidies totaled an estimated $486 billion in the top 21 food-producing countries in the world. These countries—the members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and seven other countries (Brazil, China, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Russia, South Africa, and Ukraine)—are responsible for almost 80 percent of global agricultural value added in the world. OECD countries alone spent $258.6 billion in subsidies to support farming in their respective countries in 2012.
Feb 19, 2014
Agricultural Population Growth Marginal as Nonagricultural Population Soars
The global agricultural population—defined as individuals dependent on agriculture, hunting, fishing, and forestry for their livelihood—accounted for 37.6 percent of the world's total population in 2011, the most recent year for which data are available. This is a decrease of 12 percent from 1980, when the world's agricultural and nonagricultural populations were roughly the same size. Although the agricultural population shrunk as a share of total population between 1980 and 2011, it grew numerically from 2.2 billion to 2.6 billion people during this period, principally in Africa and Asia.
Apr 11, 2013
Global Food Prices Continue to Rise
Continuing a decade-long increase, global food prices rose 2.7 percent in 2012, reaching levels not seen since the 1960s and 1970s but still well below the price spike of 1974. Between 2000 and 2012, the World Bank global food price index increased 104.5 percent, at an average annual rate of 6.5 percent. (See Figure 1.)
Jan 15, 2013
Organic Agriculture Contributes to Sustainable Food Security
In 2010, the most recent year for which data are available, organic farming accounted for approximately 0.9 percent of total agricultural land around the world. While this is still a minuscule share, since 1999 the land area farmed organically has expanded more than threefold: 37 million hectares of land are now organically farmed, including land that is in the process of being converted from conventional agricultural practices.
Oct 23, 2012
Disease and Drought Curb Meat Production and Consumption
Global meat production rose to 297 million tons in 2011, an increase of 0.8 percent over 2010 production levels. By the end of 2012, meat production is projected to reach 302 million tons, an increase of 1.6 percent over 2011. These are relatively low rates of growth compared with previous years: in 2010, meat production rose by 2.6 percent, and since 2001 production has risen by 20 percent. According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), record drought in the American Midwest, disease outbreaks, and rising prices of livestock feed in 2011 and 2012 all contributed to the lower rises in production. Natural disasters in Japan and Pakistan also constrained output and disrupted trade.

Global Grain Production at Record High Despite Extreme Climatic Events
In 2012, global grain production is expected to reach a record high of 2.37 billion tons, an increase of 1 percent from 2011 levels. Grain crops are used for human consumption, animal feed, and biofuels. According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, the production of grain for animal feed is growing the fastest—a 2.1 percent increase from 2011. Grain for direct consumption by people grew 1.1 percent from 2011. Grain used for biofuel production and other non-feed uses has slowed to a 1 percent increase from 2011 (compared with an 8.2 percent increase from 2008 to 2009).

Aquaculture Tries to Fill World's Insatiable Appetite for Seafood
Total global fish production, including both wild capture fish and aquaculture, reached an all-time high of 154 million tons in 2011. Wild capture was 90.4 million tons that year, up 2 percent from 2010. This followed a 1.6-percent decline from 2009 to 2010. The 2011 global capture figure nearly matched the 2007 total of 90.3 million tons, which broke a four-year pattern of declining global wild capture. Since the late 1980s, however, wild capture production has essentially stagnated.

Investing in Women Farmers
Women farmers produce more than half of all food worldwide and currently account for 43 percent of the global agricultural labor force. Indeed, the global food and agriculture system depends more on the contributions of women farmers today than ever before. Women produce as much as 50 percent of the agricultural output in South Asia and 80 percent in sub-Saharan Africa.

Foreign Investment in Agricultural Land Down from 2009 Peak
Since 2000, an estimated 70.2 million hectares (ha) of agricultural land have been sold or leased to private and public investors. This is a land mass roughly the size of the Democratic Republic of Congo and is 1.4 percent of the world's agricultural land.
Mar 23, 2012
Farm Animal Populations Continue to Grow
Farm animal populations continue to increase worldwide. The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research estimates that by 2050 the global poultry population will grow to nearly 35 billion, the goat and sheep population to 2.7 billion, and the cattle population to 2.6 billion animals.

World Grain Production Down in 2010 but Recovering
Maize, rice, and wheat are the three major grain crops in the world. Together they account for almost two thirds of humanity's staple food intake. In addition, they are critical for animal feed and industrial uses. In 2010, production of both maize and rice set record levels, but a significant drop in wheat output left overall grain totals slightly below 2008 levels. Preliminary data for 2011 indicate that production has increased, however, and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recently forecast that cereal output in 2011–12 will be 3 percent higher than in 2010–11.
Oct 11, 2011
Meat Production and Consumption Continue to Grow
Global meat production increased by 2.6 percent in 2010 to 290.6 million tons, an increase from the 0.8 percent growth rate of 2009. Even with this minimal increase, however, worldwide meat production has tripled since the 1970s. The increase continued the steady growth of the past decade. Since 2000, global meat production has risen by 20 percent.

There are people out in the community who are angry at this newspaper, and I think it's time to clear the air.
Over the past few months, we have reported on the deaths of three young men, whose autopsies connected their tragic, untimely and unexpected deaths directly to the abuse of prescription drugs apparently obtained illegally.
As editor, I take full responsibility for making sure these stories were covered and published. And I will make sure that we will continue to do so if, God forbid, this happens again.
The Carroll County High School Panther basketball team hosted its second annual chili supper and silent auction Feb. 14, prior to the homecoming games against Williamstown and Oldham County. The participation by the community and parents of both the girls and boys basketball teams was terrific; both events were a huge success.
(Editor's note: The following letter was sent to The News-Democrat by Amy Owen of Carrollton. The letter was written by Dawn Austin, before she died of cancer earlier this month. We are printing it at Ms. Owen's request.)
This is a letter that I have written before, but lost when we lost our electric. It is long overdue.
I was not a person who went to doctors. I did see Dr. Hussein two years ago. He fixed what was wrong and I didn't go back. I see him on a regular schedule now.
This letter is to address the situation that arose over the past few weeks concerning the Carroll County High School freshman basketball team.
This class, though maybe not as talented as others, was a very hard-working and dedicated group of young men. Their season was not stellar, but, unlike their coach, they did not give up – no matter the score or circumstances.
I have been a volunteer at KET, Kentucky's statewide public television system, for three years. I volunteer my time there because for years my family and I have enjoyed the diverse, wonderful programming and services KET provides, and I want to take part in passing those things on to others in my community.
I know most insurance companies are reliable and that sometimes a reasonable increase in insurance premiums is justified. I don't like when it happens, but I understand that it can happen.
Even the most reasonable person would agree, however, that three increases over a six-year period, cumulatively totaling more than a 100 percent hike in premiums, would be unjustified, harmful and unconscionable.
Some say stress and arguments about finances could be the cause of most divorces in the United States.
But what about those of us who are not presently being held in the institution that is marriage? Sure, it's great that we have no one spending our hard earned cash frivolously; but can the current economy be at least somewhat responsible for keeping us single?
The following letter was sent to our state leaders and representatives, Gov. Steve Beshear, state Sen. Ernie Harris and state Rep. Rick Rand:
As hard working Kentuckians, taxpayers, and avid voters, please allow us the opportunity to express our opinions regarding the recent events concerning House Bill 144. We do not understand how you can give tax breaks to industries to come to Kentucky, yet overly tax the distilleries, which have roots in this state – many of which are National Historic Sites.
We need the community's help. The Carroll County Tobacco Festival Committee has been approached by several citizens to consider coordinating the development of a museum.
The museum would feature items of historical significance that would reflect the history of Carroll and neighboring counties.
To the editor:
The Rotary Motto is Service about self, and last week we watched this motto practiced in real life.
When the ice storm of 2009 hit this area and several of us were without electric, our utility crews were working around the clock to help us. The members of these crews sacrificed their families, health and sleep to help restore our power. They worked in less then desirable weather conditions of snow, freezing rain, ice, wind and temperatures around zero. Most utility employees were putting in 16-plus hour days just to help their neighbors.
February is National Children's Dental Health Month-a time when schools, dentists and health organizations everywhere promote oral health education, and teach children how to practice good oral health
According to the Kentucky Department of Public Health, Kentucky has the nation's highest rate of tooth loss and more than one quarter of the residents of this Commonwealth have lost six or more teeth due to tooth decay or gum disease. This news is alarming.
I would like to tell the community about a local organization called God's Special Little Hearts. This group was formed in 2006 to help families with children battling a congenital heart defect or disease.
The organization was founded by three heart moms who want to help others going through what their families went through as their children were diagnosed, hospitalized and underwent open-heart surgery. We have since recruited three other heart families to be a part of our organization.
I am a proud citizen of a small community. Sometimes we take for granted the benefits of living next to family and lifelong friends. There are also times we overlook great services in our small community.
At 5 a.m. Jan. 26, my family was faced with a true emergency. My 2-year old son, Seth, woke from his sleep and was gasping for each breath. We had to make some very quick decisions and time was our enemy. Snow had just covered the roads, and I had to drive very carefully with my son struggling to breathe in the back seat.
Well, it's official. We're in a recession. Oh, of course I've heard this news for several months now, so it comes as no surprise.
But I'd been fortunate. Up to now, it hadn't really affected me much.
My husband and I have a nice home with a reasonable monthly mortgage payment. From what we can tell, at least for now, both of our jobs seem fairly safe. Yes, we do have some credit-card and other debt, but we are working hard to reduce what we owe. Our goal is, ultimately, to eliminate all of it when we retire.
To the editor,
To the fine people of Trimble County, I want to sincerely thank all of the wonderful people who have been such a great help to me during this emergency recovery stay in Trimble County.
First of all, I want to thank Morgan's Pharmacy-especially Bob Boyer, who has been more than kind and helpful during this time. Mr. and Mrs. Boyer are true angels.
I would also like to thank the Trimble County EMS for all of their expertise and prompt, professional service. They have been life savers!
To the editor,
On January 29, 2009 our house caught on fire from a kerosene heater. The Milton and Bedford Fire Departments were dispatched to our house.
We want to thank everyone for the hard work trying to save our house.
We especially would like to thank Bedford's Chief Michael Barnes for trying to save our pets. We are very thankful he was able to save our dog. He made several trips into the house to save our cats, but even with all his hard work we lost them. However, we are grateful for his efforts.
"I was talking to someone the other day and I said you were skinny. They said, 'You haven't seen her lately, have you?'"
It's a good thing that I'm not sensitive about my weight or that could be akin to poking a fat bear with a pointy stick!
Since the inception of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) in 1985 in Jefferson County, the goal has been to serve a record number of children in one year. With the expansion of the program in Henry, Oldham and Trimble counties in 2007 and the addition in 2008 of Shelby and Spencer counties, CASA has exceeded the goal of advocating for more than 500 children in 2008.
This is a huge milestone, and we are very excited. Many thanks to the hard-working staff, volunteers and board members for making this program work.
I would like to thank Melanie Stewart and Company for the great entertainment they provided to our community with the production of "Grease."
I know it took many hours of planning and practice to put on such a musical production. It is wonderful to see our students showing just a small portion of what they are capable of doing.
Most of these students are involved in many other activities, and the commitment they showed to this project should be applauded.
They did an outstanding job.

WiMAX or WIFI
WiMAx and WIFI what's all the hubbub? People often ask me about the two technologies. Here is my reader's digest answer….One of the most common questions that I receive about our products from our enterprise customers is:"Please explain your WiMAX plans?"I generally answer the question with another simple question:"Do you own any spectrum?""œNo.""œThen why do you want WiMAX?" I'll ask."Because I can have greater coverage areas," is the answer. Well everyone I'm going on the record as saying the following: A wave form, is a wave form, is a wave form (If the blogging system allowed me to write that as a wave it would be cool, but it doesn't- then again maybe you can imagine written as a wave?). What does that mean? It means that WiFi, Bluetooth, and WiMAX, when they operate in an unlicensed spectrum have to obey the local regulations for that spectrum. This means that there are very tightly regulated power output and antenna requirements in each band. That's not to say that WiMAX does not have its place. It does. Specifically in *private* spectrum, backhauling traffic out of cell sites. The WiMAX MAC already has stringent QoS built into it. That means that your local network operator can backhaul traffic out of a cell tower without paying their local phone company. This is a good thing because it will hopefully get my cell phone bill a bit smaller. Whoa! Matt- what about WiMAX to the desktop? I'll go back to my previous statement, do you own your own spectrum? I suspect that the WiMAX war to the desktop is not really a WIFI vs. WiMAX war , it is 3G vs. WiMAX war. If a private network operator was daring then they could try to 'change the game' by developing the first all WiMAX network. The economics might be difficult because someone would have to develop pervasive WiMAX end points (think cell phones and laptops). I think that an established GSM or CDMA operator would have a difficult time explaining to shareholders why the billions of dollars that they have sunk into 3G infrastructures was all for not and they are going to change their cell sites.

At the Kings Place (90 York Way, London, N1 9AG) on October 5th at 3:30 PM, internationally acclaimed art historian T.J. Clark will be explaining how his new book Picasso and Truth: From Cubism to Guernica establishes Picasso as the artist of the 20th century, stripping away the gossip and the hero-worship. He takes us through the logic of his paintings as an account of modernity.
How did an art rooted in feeling for the human world react to an epoch of mass violence and social disintegration? Was Picasso's imagery of horror an act of desperation, or a solution to an artistic and ethical impasse?
In what sense did the new extremism of Picasso's art around 1930 lead on to the tragic vision of Guernica?
To learn more about the event at their website, click here.
T.J. Clark is an internationally acclaimed art historian, who has taught at UCLA, Leeds, Harvard and Berkeley.
He is the author of several books on the social character and formal dynamics of modern art, including the highly influential volume, The Painting of Modern Life: Paris in the Art of Manet and his Followers, Farewell to an Idea, Episodes from a History of Modernism and The Sight of Death, An Experiment in Art Writing.

This is a family favorite I posted some time ago and finally added a couple pictures. I'm still trying to remember to take pictures when I make some of the variations, but we don't have this recipe often due to the high-calorie content.
I also discovered something after making this recipe many times. If you stir the mixture after 30 to 45 minutes of cooking, it resembles more traditional baked macaroni and cheese. If you don't stir, it comes out more like layers with the top being a fluffy cheese layer.
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 12 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 oz. mozzarella cheese
- 5 cups milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Layer macaroni, butter, and cheeses in a 9-by-13 dish. Pour milk over the top layer.
- Bake for one hour. Do not cover.
- To prevent this dish from becoming too brown and crusty (I like the brown and crusty myself but I know some people don't), cover with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Experiment with other cheeses!
- You can turn this into an entrée by adding your favorite meats and veggies!
Baked Mushroom Cheeseburger Macaroni
Ingredients above plus:
1 lb hamburger
1 diced medium onion
8 oz fresh, sliced mushrooms or 12 oz can mushrooms
Brown hamburger with onion and mushrooms. Drain and add meat mixture before cheese layer. Reduce milk by 1/2 cup. Follow remaining directions above.
Baked Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni
Ingredients above plus:
1 lb hamburger
1 diced medium onion
6 slices bacon, crumbled
Brown hamburger with onion. Drain and add hamburger and onion mixture before cheese layer. After cheese layer, sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Reduce milk by 1/2 cup. Follow remaining directions above.
Baked Ham and Cheese Macaroni
Ingredients above plus:
1 lb ham and choose any combination of the following veggies:
Fry ham and veggies to remove excess liquid. Drain and add before cheese layer. Reduce milk by 1/2 to 3/4 cup. Follow remaining directions above.
This is a very versatile dish. Try using leftover taco meat, chicken, peppers, or any number of variations to make a completely different dish every time. Let me know what you tried, what worked and what didn't!

Frequently Asked Questions
A. How is fold amplification calculated?
RNA amplification using the Van Gelder and Eberwine technique (Van Gelder 1990) utilizes an oligo(dT) primer containing the T7 RNA polymerase promoter for synthesis of first strand cDNA. The poly(A) tail at the end of mRNA sequences serves as the substrate for the binding of these primers. Since mRNA typically constitutes only 1-5% of the total RNA in the cell, only this fraction of the total RNA is amplified. The tissue type, its developmental state, and its health all influence the actual proportion of mRNA in a total RNA sample. Total RNA from brain, testes, and embryoic tissues may contain up to 4% mRNA, while RNA from many other tissues will have only 1% or less mRNA. The RNA isolation method can also influence mRNA content. The generally accepted average value for mRNA content is about 2% of a total RNA sample. When 1 µg of total RNA, 2% or 20 ng of which is mRNA, is amplified 1000-fold, yields of 20 µg aRNA (or cRNA) should be expected. You may observe higher fold amplification when starting with lower amounts of total RNA. This is because, in an in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction, a finite amount of RNA can be synthesized with the fixed amount of NTPs. When starting with less RNA, NTPs do not become limiting until the RNA is amplified beyond the typical 1000-2000-fold amplification levels seen with higher amounts of input RNA.
B. Why is RNA amplification necessary?
Glass microarray analysis experiments typically require 5-20 µg of total RNA per slide for sample labeling and hybridization. Thus, microarray-based gene expression analysis of very small samples [laser capture microdissection (LCM), tissue biopsies, or other clinical samples] is difficult due to the very low amounts of total RNA recovered from the samples. Linear amplification of RNA from small samples produces sufficient quantities of RNA for sample labeling and hybridization. Since the amplification technique is highly reproducible and maintains representation of the gene expression in the original sample, it is recommended for probe synthesis by most manufacturers of commercially available microarrays.
C. How do direct and indirect labeling of aRNA differ?
Direct labeling is incorporation of modified NTPs into amplification products during the IVT step of the amplification process. To make aRNA that is labeled with fluorescent dyes, a mixture of dye-modified and unmodified (or unlabeled) nucleotides are typically used in order to obtain an optimal ratio of dye-labeled to unlabeled nucleotide for maximal fluorescence. Usually ~200-400 µM of dye-labeled CTP is used with 1-3 mM unlabeled NTPs. Biotin-modified nucleotides are incorporated fairly well with T7 RNA polymerase. Ambion recommends using UTP:biotin-UTP ratios of 1:1 to 3:1. In general, labeled nucleotides are not incorporated as efficiently as unlabeled molecules during amplification, and therefore direct labeling does compromise sample yield. Furthermore, if both Cy5 and Cy3 are used in a direct labeling reaction, Cy5 is not incorporated as well as Cy3, and corrections during data analysis are necessary to adjust for this disparity.
Indirect labeling incorporates amino allyl UTP into amplification products during the IVT, and the amino allyl-modified aRNA produced is then chemically coupled to a detectable moiety such as a fluorescent dye or biotin. This method, though more time-consuming than direct labeling, can result in very highly labeled aRNA because amino allyl-modified UTP is incorporated very efficiently by T7 RNA polymerase.
Indirect labeling incorporates amino allyl UTP into amplification products during the IVT, and the amino allyl-modified aRNA produced is then chemically coupled to a detectable moiety such as a fluorescent dye or biotin. This method, though more time-consuming than direct labeling, can result in very highly labeled aRNA because amino allyl-modified UTP is incorporated very efficiently by T7 RNA polymerase.
D. What is the typical size range of amplified RNA?
A single round of amplification yields product sizes ranging from 200 bases to 6 kb. The majority of these products are approximately 1.5 kb in length. A second round of amplification will result in shorter products. We recommend using an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer to visualize these products. Amplification products can be visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis; they will migrate as a smear. Although this data is still useful, it is less informative than bioanalyzer analysis.
E. What is the typical probe orientation for microarrays?
Oligonucleotides are single-stranded and therefore only anneal to their complement. Probes for microarrays are either generated from an RT reaction (cDNA) or from linear amplification (aRNA). Both probe synthesis methods generate antisense sequences. Most oligonucleotide arrays, therefore, are designed with sequences in the sense orientation.

The Shield Maiden and I had been working on our ground fighting skills, as husbands and wives often do, when the call came in.
It was five "9"s in succession. Translated that meant, "call station right now shit is going down". This was long before texts...and even before Al Gore invented the internet...we carried pagers. I grab up the phone and call in.
"Gang-related Murder. Sgt. Cooper thinks it was the mom".
Shit...I hated those kinds of calls. I tossed the Go-Bag in the back seat of the T-Bird and sped down La Tuna Canyon to PCH as Phil Collins tuned out on the stereo in the summer evening. The victim was a known gang member and the common thought back then was that all of the family were gang members as well, from the 90 year old deaf grandfather to the five year old little brother with snot running down his face.
I walked in past the uniforms as I threw on my "Gang Unit" jacket to explain my shaved head and long fu manchu. The victim, "Cricket" was laying on the floor of his bedroom upstairs with a gaping hole in his chest the size of my fist. On the floor at his feet by the wall was a Mossberg 500 shotgun, loaded and chambered. On the floor by his right hand was a spent case (its not a casing...casing is what they make sausages with). The entire room had that odd yet familiar smell of death: a combination of gunsmoke and blood and things that belong inside a body, not outside.
Those who have smelled it will know what I mean...and will never forget it.
"The mom...or the sister...one of them killed him...those Mexicans...you know how they are...I am going to hook them up and take them to the station. They will talk", Detective Sgt. Cooper interrupted my Sherlock moment with his usual candor and investigative skill.
I wasn't yet sure what happened, but I knew that neither the mom nor sister had not done this.
"Give me a minute with them", I asked - and told at the same time. The despondent women could barely speak, and I wanted to get to them before the "Inspector Clouseau" had them handcuffed and marched off away from the dead son and brother.
They were downstairs and heard a shot.
They ran upstairs and saw him lying on the floor.
They called the police.
He had just broken up with his girl.
She had not been by.
Then the sound of handcuffs stopped my interview.
I walked back upstairs. Cricket's eyes were still open, as well as his mouth in that death mask that speaks of the surrender of death and the surprise of its arrival.
The blood had begun to congeal on the carpet.
Murder? I had investigated plenty of them. This was not a murder. I wasn't sure but it didn't seem to fit.
Cooper had a "gang thing" and wanted badly for it to be a murder...but this was not it.
I began to look closer. I noticed what is commonly called powder burns on Cricket's chest wound. This meant that it was a contact shot, like with the muzzle making contact with his sternum, and not from across the room. I began to look more closely. I noticed a mark on the inside and outside of his right thumb...as if it had just been hit by something.
...a trigger guard?
I looked deeper....
THERE...on the wall, a pointed indentation on the stucco wall about two feet up from the floor.
What would do that?
On the point of the pistol grip only Mossberg...also some stucco. Then there...in the linoleum floor...a half crescent remarkably like the size of a shotgun barrel.
I got on my radio and called for the ID technicians immediately (long before they were called CSI).
Cricket (his gang name) - it turns out had GSR on his hands.
He had brought the 12 gauge up to his chest with his left hand and pulled the trigger with his right thumb. The shotgun was launched away from his body as he fell back. It hit the wall and ejected the fired case, and dove muzzle first onto the floor where that next shell was chambered. And it lay as found until the patrol officers and "Detective Sergeant" rolled up and determined what happened.
The mom and daughter went home that night, not as homicide suspects, but as a grieving mother and daughter to clean up the son's blood.
I filed my report and ignored the glare from my new friend the "Detective Sergeant". I went home early about 0400 HRS. Just in time for a little more Jujitsu before the sun came up. Such was the life of the Gang Investigator.
Oh...I almost forgot. I made some powerful enemies that night that would come calling for retribution soon enough.

I feel like I've lost my voice
Sunday, October 21, 2012
Here I sit, enjoying Sunday Night Football (GO STEELERS!) and I decide to finally write the post that has been in my mind for about a week or two.
I feel like I've lost my voice.
I barely blog anymore, as I'm sure you've noticed. I don't respond to pitches. I intend to, but life gets in the way. The pitches I've received in the past year sit in my "Pitches to Respond To" email folder - which currently contains 556 unread items.
I miss blogging. I miss getting to know other women online. Two years ago, I went back to work after being unexpectedly out of work for 8 months. Ever since then, I've been busy working (sometimes over my 40 hours - sometimes using comp time, but most of the time not.) I also made a pledge around that time to not spend my time off on the computer - to get out and enjoy life, enjoy my children, to spend time with friends.
For a time I was doing that, and then I was finally able to get my own place again. This just happened in May, and my resources are always tapped. Some days I wonder how I'm going to pay all of the bills, how we're going to eat, if I'll even have enough gas in my car to last until payday. Even as a single mother, I make just above the limits to not be able to get assistance for most things. I hit the local food bank once a month. I rob Peter to pay Paul, and I find myself counting down the months until I no longer am paying child support, while I barely get any support for the two I am raising.
I know that life is about choices, and I've learned alot through the things I've lived through. Too bad we can't rewind the hands of time, but you live and you learn.
I am planning on going back to school beginning Spring 2013. I've already registered for the university (University of Maryland, University College - UMUC) and just have to register for classes and work out tuition reimbursement. I'm majoring in Cyber Security and also planning to minor in Information Systems Management, so that will be 15 credits toward my Master's degree.
This isn't a story about "Woe is Me". I am a survivor. I've been a survivor my whole life, and I won't stop now. I just have to get back to me, and to my blog - if only to share my stories.

Christina Milian and The-Dream Are Officially Divorced
Done. Finito. Divorced. That's the official, legal status of petite singer-actress Christina Milian and uber-hot producer-singer The-Dream. It's been a long, hard road for the former couple to get to this point, as they reportedly worked out the details of the divorce agreement last November. There is a child involved, which could have mucked up and/or slowed down the process. But at least now both parties can legally move on with their lives.
TMZ reports that the divorce became final this week. Is it us or did the divorce process seem to last longer than the actual marriage? The talented couple wed in 2009, but separated after only three months of marriage. The-Dream (real name: Terius Nash) didn't file for divorce until about a year later. Their daughter Violet -- her first child, his fourth -- was born about a week after the hitmaking producer filed those papers. What a hot mess, right?
The adorable Milian has been a bit unlucky in love through the years. She had previously dated Mariah Carey's now hubby Nick Cannon for several years, but they split because he was cheating on her. Similar rumors swirled around Milian's marriage to The-Dream.
Onward and upward for Milian and The-Dream!

Is your mountain bike loud?
A year and a half ago I was sitting on top of Bootleg Canyon watching the start of the pro downhill race (before my start). The fourth or fifth rider to start was a kid I am fortunate enough to coach named Mitch Ropelato. After Mitch disappeared from sight the racer next to me exclaimed, "wow, I wish my bike was that quiet!". I didn't have the heart to tell him that his bike is that quiet, it is the rider that is making it loud. While all bikes (especially downhill bikes on tracks as rough as Bootleg Canyon) make some noise (a little chain slap, the tires hitting rocks, rocks thrown from the tires hitting the frame, etc) when they are ridden well that noise should be at a minimum.
How to use bike noise to improve your mountain bike riding:
Something we really stress in our skills progression is being smooth. We stress this because, the smoother you are the more in control, efficient and faster you are! Your bike provides you with great feedback on being smooth. If your bike is making a lot of noise (loud chain slap, loud pings and noises coming from your frame, suspension and/or tires) as you ride you aren't being as smooth as you could be. Use this feedback to remind yourself to relax, breathe and flow with the trail instead of fighting it! Don't just rely on your suspension, use your arms, legs and especially your ankles to smooth out the trail.
If you get a chance to watch (and listen) to a great mountain bike rider like Mitch or Greg Minnaar pay attention to how smooth and quiet they are on their bikes. They are excellent examples of economy as they smoothly flow down the trail, often taking rougher/faster lines, but taking those lines cleanly. Often, they are so smooth they look slow as they aren't getting thrown around by the trail.
This ties in with the article on Mountain Bike Rides That Feel Fast but Are Actually Slow!

Change of bounty requirements for Project: Timberwolf
Posted by Cyborg at 20110430 08:13
The Mozilla foundation has plans to release a new 4.x version every two months. With the old requirement description of Project: Timberwolf this would mean a "moving target", which would make it extremely hard if not even impossible for the Frieden brothers to fulfill the requirements. The needed work would just be too much considering their various other duties regarding AmigaOS development.
Also we think that getting one full, clean and stable port of Firefox 4.0, where future work can be based on, is much more important than some quick and dirty port of the latest 4.x version just for the sake of getting the latest 4.x version.
For those reasons we decided to change the version requirements accordingly. Please see the

So i have a bag of dried, organic elderberries to make elderberry syrup with. I made a little last year but am making some now, and I realized theres definitely plenty of pieces of branches in the bag, and therefore in my water thats cooking the berries into syrup… is this ok ? ?
What are Elderberries?
What's an elderberry?
Elderberries are small, dark berries that grow in clusters on elder trees (also called elderberry bushes), and are very common throughout Europe and North America. They have a long history of human use, from food, to wine, and even for medicine. One of my favorite uses is Elderberry Crostata with Lemon. They are a fast-growing plant which can grow up to 13 feet tall. The leaves are compound and feather-like, the bark smooth and gray with little bumps. The branches are pliable when young, brittle when older, and have a white pith inside which is sometimes hollow like a tube. In late spring or early summer, tightly clustered bunches of tiny white lacy flowers form in large umbrella shaped clusters.
In late summer to early fall, clusters of berries begin to ripen where the flowers used to be. These berries are a favorite staple food supply for many wildlife, especially birds. They're soon to be a favorite for you too.
Where do I find elderberries?
Elderberries are very common and easy to find. They like to grow in the moist soil along roadsides, ditches, and streams. Where you find one tree, you'll likely find several more. They are easiest to spot in the late summer/early fall when the clusters of berries are full and purple. The trees look like a patch of woody stalks covered with leaves and patches of purple clusters splattered throughout.
There are several varieties of elderberries, some even having red berries. But I've only ever had the purple ones, which for me, are the easiest to identify and the most plentiful to find.
What parts of the elderberry tree can I use?
Well, in the Spring, you can use the white flowers, aptly named Elderflowers. They are very aromatic, and have the same umbrella cluster shape as the berries, just white flowers instead of purple berries. Elderflowers have a honey citrus flavor, and can be used to make jellies, teas, brewed into wines and champagne, lightly battered and fried into fritters, or stirred into muffin or sponge cake mix for a light, sweet flavor.
In early Fall, the ripe berries can be made into many things: extracts, syrups, pies, jams, jellies, cobblers, and more.
The leaves, twigs, stems, roots and unripe berries of all elderberry plants are not edible, and contain toxins which are metabolized into cyanide. So, it's not a good idea whatsoever to eat anything off an elderberry tree other than the ripe berries and the blossoms. Unless of course you like cyanide poisoning. But don't let this deter you from harvesting these abundant jewels. Many foods we love and commonly eat also come from toxic plants, such as rhubarb and tomatoes.
How do I harvest elderberries?
I can't think of an easier berry to harvest than elderberries. Simply snip off the entire berry cluster and take it home with you. Take your share, but leave plenty for the birds; they need the food too.
Once you get them home, rinse the clusters off in cold water, shake dry, then place on a sheet pan, in a bowl, or in a box, and then place in your freezer. Freeze them overnight, then remove the berries by gently squeezing the clusters together in your hand as you gently rub your fingers across the berries. They will just fall right off and save you tons of time as compared to picking them off when not frozen.
Alternately, I've heard you can use a comb to rake the berries free, or that you can place the frozen berries in a box and shake the box around vigorously to remove from the stems, but I haven't tried either yet. Once you've removed all the berries, you'll need to double check to remove any remaining pieces of stem, as these have the toxins in them.
Do elderberries have seeds?
Elderberries are loaded with them. The tiny seeds tend to stay crunchy even after cooking, so the whole berries provide a pronounced texture when used. The seeds are edible though and don't need to be removed before cooking or eating. I find the added crunch is quite enjoyable in pies, and really aren't that much more distracting than the seeds found in blackberries.
Can I eat the berries raw?
You can eat the ripe berries raw in small quantities, but they really aren't very good. They have a VERY low sugar content, and taste a bit bitter and foul. Couple this with the fact that there can be a trace of toxins still in the ripe berries, and it is best to cook them before eating in large quantities. But mix these little guys with sugar or honey and POW!, you have an awesome berry with a very pungent and distinctive delicious flavor.
What heath benefits to elderberries provide?
Nutritionally, elderberries contain large amounts of vitamin C, potassium, and beta-carotene, as well as calcium and phosphorous.
Medicinally, elderberries have been proven in quite a few recent studies to shorten the duration of cold and flu symptoms (from 6 days of flu down to only 2), as well as strengthen the immune system. They are a natural diuretic and detoxifying agent, and have been shown to help with weight loss. The flowers can help to restore the skin, sooth sunburns and rashes, and even help with sore muscles when steeped in oil and massaged in.
The Bald Gourmet adores natural wild gourmet foods, like wild elderberries.

My parents used to make elderberry wine and jam when I was young ,it was wonderful! I used to pick them and put them in the freezer for a wonderful snack later in the day!
How can I identify elderberry bushes without the leaves? I know I've seen them growing wild in my area but right now there are no leaves to help identify
Great piece about the magnificent elderberries, can you advise the latest these should be picked roughly say in the UK?
I harvested elderberries in my area quite late in the Season, near the end of November. It had been freezing at night. The elderberries looked good. Is there any danger to using the berries late in the season?
Just a comment– and maybe a laugh. I've tried many times and many years to make Elderberry wine and every time, I ended up with Elderberry vinegar. Awful. I quit wasting the berries and stick with jelly and syrup now.
I have been making Elderberry Syrup for years. It's a favorite on our pancakes/French toast/Waffles etc.
I keep a goodly amount of the syrup on hand for medicinal purposes. I can attest to the reduction in time of flu and cold symptoms. The good thing about it is that you can't OD on it. We take it generously when ill. Add some Garlic and Echinacia and it's almost instant cure.11
I live in forest grove oregon could you please tell me where in Oregon can I find blueberries and if you could send me what they look like in the wild thanks.

I really miss Elderberry wine by Split Pea Anderson Restaurant.
Why is this wine so very hard to find?
Thank you for your time.
You can find elderberry syrup at health food stores, like Vitamin Shoppe.
I love hearing from my readers, so please go ahead and leave a comment!

|Joaquim Pedro da Silva, b. 1910, taken Summer 1995 by me
Since I've had such trouble with the search for my Grandmother Lindalva's birth record I stepped back and thought maybe she might not have been born in Joao Pessoa after all. Her father, Joaquim, was born in Alagoa Grande, about 100 km east of Joao Pessoa. So, on a lark, I decided to look through Alagoa Grande's parish records to see if I could find Joaquim's birth/christening record.
Here's what I knew* before I started:
* by knew I mean that my father had collected these dates/places from speaking with family members many years ago...but there are very few documents (yet) to support these claims.
Joaquim Pedro da SilvaSo, I went off in search of his christening record, and here's what I found:
b. 9 Jun 1910, Alagoa Grande, Paraiba, Brazil
m. 15 Sep 1948, Joao Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil
d. 24 Dec 2001, Joao Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil
Note: his marriage date is 14 years after his oldest child, my grandmother, was born. That date comes from a copy of his civil marriage certificate. Perhaps they were married in the Catholic church on another date but didn't register the marriage with the government? As always, more research is needed.
Anyway, I believe entry number 252 to be his. Here's what I've worked out:
Template: Date of baptism, "I baptized in the font of this Parish", Name of child, age of child in days, parent(s) names, godparents names, testify of truthfulness and signature.So what did I learn from this record?
- A child named Joaquim was baptized on or around 9 June 1910
- The child was perhaps 23 days old or even 23 hours old?
That's it!Researching in Brazil is hard!

Present, Past and Future
Charlie Manuel picked Jayson Werth to replace Carlos Beltran on the All-Star team. First time in Phillies history that we have 3 All-Star outfielders. In 1951, Del Ennis and Richie Ashburn started for the NL.
Impressive Company
Jamie (254) moved into 10th place on the all-time list for wins by a LHP: Warren Spahn (363), Steve Carlton (329), Eddie Plank (326), Randy Johnson (307), Tom Glavine (305), Lefty Grove (300), Tommy John (288), Jim Kaat (283) and Eppa Rixey (266).
Carlton, Kaat and Rixey wore Phillies uniforms during their careers; Plank and Grove, the Philadelphia A's. Pretty neat that six of the ten pitched in Philadelphia.
NL First
Phillies are the first NL team to have four players with 20 or more home runs by the All-Star Game break. Jayson Werth joined the group last night.
Another dinger for Jayson tonight would make it 5 straight games, which tie a club record shared by Dick Allen, Mike Schmidt, Bobby Abreu and Chase.
Futures Game
RHP Kyle Drabek and LHP Yohan Flande will represent the Phillies in the XM Futures Game (ESPN 2, MLB.TV, XM 175) on Sunday in St. Louis (2 p.m. EDT).
Phillies prospects ho've been in this game: Pat Burrell (1999), Carlos Silva (2000), Marlon Byrd (2002), Gavin Floyd (2003-2004), Ryan Howard (2003), Brett Myers (2001-2002) and Chase Utley (2001).
Eight years ago, Utley was in this game. Tuesday he starts at second base for the NL for the fourth straight season. Pretty impressive.
Representing baseball administration will be Pat Gillick, Chuck LaMar and Charley Kerfeld.
Phillies Insider is on twitter as barsons63.

All I've really used for activating monsters is activated by nearby enemies. It's worked better than having the player shoot enemies to wake them up. In the last map I made, Polygons, Platforms, and Duct Tape, I tried using a visible monster trigger to activate some enemies on the ledge by having them teleport in. Stepping on the trigger seemed to not only activate those units, but also some others behind some doors. Not sure why it did that.
I was wondering if anybody could specificly tell me how the visible, invisible, and dual monster triggers work. Knowing this infomation would help me make better stuff.
Thanks in advance.

Justin Bieber Accused of Calling Aussie Girl a 'Beached Whale'
Drama follows Justin Bieber around like a bad habit. The singer is now being accused of calling a fan a "beached wale" at a hotel in Perth, Australia... and there are witnesses.
This headache and piece of bad publicity comes they day after he called the wahmbulance and was "wah wah wahing" over the media misinformation that surrounds him during a radio chat with Ryan Seacrest.
Now, about that beached whale thing...
A guest is claiming that The Biebs was speaking to four bikini-clad girls lounging by the pool at the Hyatt Regency, where they were also guests. The Biebs reportedly asked, "What are you, Hawaiian or something?"
One of the fans, described as a brunette who was likely a size 14, said, "No, I'm not."
That's when he retorted, "You look like a beached whale!" She responded, "Are you serious?"
It was then suggested that The Biebs told her she should go on 'The Biggest Loser,' which is the reality show where contestants compete to lose weight.
The girl was said to be a Belieber and she reported the verbal abuse to the staff. She was so upset that the comment brought her close to tears. She and her friends left the pool area, looking sad.
A fellow guest supported her story and said that The Biebs used his hands to make a gesture that indicates a big belly.
Helen Robinett, also a guest, made a complaint, as well. She said, "She may appear OK but I work in styling and fashion, I know how women view their bodies, what body image issues women have. That kind of comment can have a serious impact and repercussion. That's why I'm so upset about it."
If true, this story is ironic, since The Biebs went on Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show to talk about his film 'Believe,' in theaters Christmas Day, and how it shows him rising above the other, unsavory side of his stardom.
"What's been going on…behind-the-scenes, people don't really get to see me, I'm really a 19-year-old boy. I am becoming a man, I am 19," he explained about the scope of the film.
Not quite a boy, not quite a man, to borrow an idea from Brit Brit.
The Biebs also said, "I am still finding myself. I have the media attacking me every day. It's no less bullying than what happens in schools...These people, calling me names, saying things. They don't know what's true or not. This movie shows who I am as a person. I want to help people and inspire the world."
He added, "I make mistakes growing up, as everybody does. I'm not perfect. I'm not a robot. People forget I'm a human being. I gotta make mistakes and grow from it and get stronger. I want to become a young mogul."
When Seacrest joked that his family members will be asking for cars as holiday presents, The Biebs joked that he told them there are no presents, just love this year.
We're in shock that The Biebs would call a fan a "beached whale." That doesn't sound like him...especially after he went on air to talk about how much he hates gossip. Let's hope this story is false or a fib.
