Beef Stew, North African-style
This post doesn't involve wine, but is one of my briefer food photoessays. My
North African Beef Stew
isn't purely authentic--the use of bacon and beer are notable breaks from tradition--but making the broth really savory and spicy and serving the resulting stew with couscous certainly makes it stand above a can of Dinty Moore. Some variations are offered in the article.

There's Live connectivity, but being a single player game, Arkham Asylum really doesn't get much of a boost from this.Still, it is good to see more PC titles slipping under the Games for Window Live banner. Of all of the games released as part of the Games for Windows brand, only 15 so far have been Live-enabled. With DIRT 2, Battlestations Pacific, Fuel, Stromrise, and now Batman: Arkham Asylum all due out this year for Games for Windows Live, the service seems to slowly been picking up steam.

For many people, a visit to the dentist is a visit filled with worry and fear. A visit to the dentist over the years has been associated with something being wrong—or painful—with your teeth. You're there to schedule a surgery, have a tooth capped so as to prevent further cracking, or even to put in a filling from where the enamel has given away to rot. One thing that you need to know, thought, is that a regular visit to the dentist can be a preventative measure against the need for surgery or other invasive treatments. It's important that you don't wait until something has gone wrong with your teeth before you visit your Everett dentist It's much better that you schedule regular visits, even for something as simple as a teeth cleaning. This works as both a preventative measure and as a way to help you keep your teeth protected longer. If you don't have a dentist already, your insurance should provide you a list of dentists in your network, and if you lack insurance there are plenty of sliding scale dentists out there to help you care for your teeth. If your healthcare provider doesn't give you a list of dentists in your network, a simple google search for dentists in your area can go a great way. Visiting local dentist webpages, or even a website database that includes dentists in your area can help you greatly in your search. Always do research when you go to choose your dentist to ensure that they are the right fit for you. If they can't work to your schedule, if they have bad customer experiences, or if they are not ADA affiliated then they're probably not a dentist you wish to visit. As with most medical professionals, you should scrutinize your prospective choices closely. These people will be taking care of your teeth! Mouthhealthy.org provides an excellent explanation for what to expect when you go in for an exam or check up with your dentist. Most exams start out with a simple check on your medical history—have you had surgery, do specific diseases run in your family; it's the same situation as when you visit your doctor. This is followed by a cursory exam and a check of your dental records history. Sometimes you're due for an x-ray to see how your teeth are developing, if your wisdom teeth have come in, if there's need for any specific treatment beyond a simple teeth cleaning—everything is fairly standard from one Everett dentist to another. A trip to the dentist with your child is extremely important when they're developing teeth. Not only will regular six month checkups help you find potential problems in your child's development, but they'll also provide information on how to keep your child's teeth in healthy condition. It's especially important to visit a child friendly dentist when your child's first tooth appears so that you can monitor how their teeth are coming in, as aquafresh.com explains. The First Step

Do You Know About Thalassemia? »
"Thalassemia is a serious condition that can lead to organ damage and even death. Find out more about related health problems treatment, CDC's work, and what you can do to make a difference.
Did you know that thalassemia is an inherited bl"...
Kogenate FS
Mechanism Of Action
Kogenate FS temporarily replaces the missing clotting factor VIII that is needed for effective hemostasis.
The aPTT is prolonged in patients with hemophilia. Determination of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is a conventional in vitro assay for biological activity of factor VIII. Treatment with Kogenate FS normalizes the aPTT over the effective dosing period.
The pharmacokinetic properties of Kogenate FS were investigated in two separate studies in previously treated patients, adults and children.
Pharmacokinetic studies with Kogenate FS were conducted in 20 PTPs (ages 12 to 33 years) with severe hemophilia A in North America. The pharmacokinetic parameters for Kogenate FS were measured in a randomized, crossover clinical trial with the predecessor KOGENATE product with a single dose administration of 50 IU/kg. After 24 weeks, the same dose of Kogenate FS was administered to the same patients. The recovery and half-life data for Kogenate FS were unchanged after 24 weeks of continued treatment with sustained efficacy and no evidence of factor VIII inhibition. [See Table 9.]
Table 9 : Pharmacokinetic Parameters for Kogenate FS
Compared to KOGENATE
Parameter | Kogenate FS | KOGENATE | |
Initial PK Mean (±SD) | PK at week 24 Mean (±SD) | Reference Mean (±SD) | |
AUC (IU • h/dL) | 1588.05 ± 344.32 | 1487.08 ± 381.73 | 1879.02 ± 412.32 |
Cmax (IU/dL) | 114.95 ± 20.19 | 109.42 ± 20.09 | 127.40 ± 33.21 |
Half-life (hr) | 13.74 ± 1.82 | 14.60 ± 4.38 | 14.07 ± 2.62 |
In Vivo Recovery (IU/dL / IU/kg) | 2.20 ± 0.34 | 2.11 ± 0.37 | 2.43 ± 0.60 |
The pharmacokinetics of Kogenate FS were investigated in pediatric PTPs (4.4-18.1 years of age, average age 12).7 The pharmacokinetic parameters in children compared to adults show differences in higher clearance, lower incremental in vivo factor VIII recovery and a shorter factor VIII half-life. This might be explained by differences in body composition such as body surface area and plasma volume. The pharmacokinetic parameters are depicted in Table 10.
Table 10 : Pharmacokinetic Parameters for Kogenate FS
in Children
Parameter | Mean (range) |
AUC (IU • h/dL) | 1320.0 |
Clearance (mL/h•kg) | 4.1 |
Half-life (hr) | 10.7 (7.8-15.3) |
In Vivo Recovery (IU/dL / IU/kg) | 1.9 (1.25-2.76) |
Clinical Studies
Previously Treated Patients
A total of 73 patients with severe ( ≤ 2% FVIII) hemophilia A, ages 12–59, who had been previously treated with other recombinant or with plasma-derived AHF products, were treated up to 54-months in open label studies with Kogenate FS in Europe and North America. A total of 5,684 bleeding episodes were treated during the studies. Patients could be treated on demand or on prophylaxis. Regularly scheduled prophylaxis treatment represented 76% of all infusions (treatment regimens of 2-3 infusions per week). [See Table 11.]
Table 11 : Previously Treated Patients (PTPs) Clinical
Trial Results
Clinical Parameters | Results |
No. of Infusions of Kogenate FS Administered | 24,924 |
No. of IU Administered | 45 million IU |
No. of Bleeds Treated with Kogenate FS | 5,684 |
Percentage of Bleeds Treated with One or Two Infusions of Kogenate FS | one infusion: 79.7%, two infusions: 13.0% total: 92.7% |
Mean Kogenate FS Dose per Treatment Infusion (in Europe and North America, Respectively) | Approximately 32.5 and 29.6 IU/kg per treatment infusion |
A total of 30 patients received Kogenate FS for 41 surgical procedures during the PTP studies. There were both minor and major surgery types, 16 and 25 respectively. The surgeon or treating physician assigned a rating to the hemostatic outcome according to 4 categories; "excellent", "good," "moderate," or "none." Hemostasis was rated as satisfactory ("excellent" or "good") in all cases. [See Table 13.]
Previously Untreated And Minimally Treated Patients
Kogenate FS has been used in the treatment of bleeding episodes in pediatric previously untreated patients (PUPs) and minimally treated patients (MTPs) with severe ( < 2% FVIII) hemophilia A. There were 37 PUPs and 24 MTPs (defined as having equal to or less than 4 exposure days) treated with a total of 9,419 infusions of Kogenate FS for a follow up duration up to 3.1 years. A total of 1047 bleeding episodes were treated.
Table 12 : Previously Untreated and Minimally Treated
Patients (PUPs and MTPs) Clinical Trial Results
Clinical Parameters | Results |
No. of Infusions of Kogenate FS Administered | 9,419 |
No. of Exposure Days to Kogenate FS (median) | 115 exposure days |
No. of IU Administered | 7.5 million IU |
No. of Bleeds Treated with Kogenate FS | 1,047 |
Percentage of Bleeds Treated with One or Two Infusions of Kogenate FS | one infusion 73.1% two infusions 15.0% total: 88.1% |
A total of 27 surgical procedures were performed in 22 patients during the PUPs and MTPs study. There were both minor and major surgery types, 21 and 6 respectively. The surgeon or treating physician assigned a rating to the hemostatic outcome according to 4 categories; "excellent," "good," "moderate," or "none." Hemostasis was rated as satisfactory ("excellent" or "good") in all cases. [See Table 13.]

Pediatric Prophylaxis And Joint Damage Risk Reduction
A total of 65 boys less than 30 months of age with severe hemophilia A (FVIII level ≤ 2 IU/dL) and with ≤ 2 bleeds into each index joint and normal baseline joint imaging, were observed for up to 5.5 years in a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study.5 Patients received either 25 IU/kg every other day (primary prophylaxis; n=32) or at least 3 doses totaling a minimum of 80 IU/kg at the time of a bleeding episode (enhanced episodic; n=33). Joint damage was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or radiography, as well as the frequency of bleeding episodes. Joint damage detected by MRI or radiography in the ankles, knees, and elbows (i.e., index joints) was statistically significantly lower (p=0.002) for subjects receiving prophylactic therapy (7%) than for subjects receiving episodic therapy (42%). This corresponds to a 6.29-fold relative risk of joint damage for subjects treated with enhanced episodic therapy compared to prophylaxis. The mean rate of index joint hemorrhages for subjects on episodic therapy was 4.89 bleeds per year, versus 0.63 bleeds per year observed in the prophylaxis arm. Three of 33 (9.1%) subjects in the episodic arm experienced recurrent life threatening bleeds (intracranial, gastrointestinal) compared to no subjects in the prophylaxis arm. On a per joint basis, joints in the regular prophylaxis arm were 8-fold more likely to remain damage-free than those in the episodic arm. Joint damage was most frequently observed in ankle joints and was detected at higher rates by MRI than by radiography. Ankles were also the index joint that demonstrated the highest frequency of bleeding events in this study (left ankle, mean 2.7 hemorrhages; right ankle, mean 2.6 hemorrhages).
As shown in Table 14 below, the incidence of joint damage was statistically significantly lower in the prophylactic group as compared to the episodic treatment group when assessed by MRI, or either MRI or radiography, using predefined criteria (described below) for establishing joint damage. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups when joint damage was assessed by radiography alone.
To evaluate joint damage, MRIs were scored using a scale developed by Nuss et al.,22 and X-rays were scored using the method of Pettersson et al.23 Both scales have been validated in various clinical trials and are routinely used for joint damage evaluation in hemophiliacs. Joint damage was defined as bone and/or cartilage damage including subchondral cysts, erosions and cartilage loss with narrowing of joint space. This corresponded to a total MRI score of ≥ 7 or an X-ray score of ≥ 1 in any of the following categories: subchondral cysts, erosions of joint surfaces or narrowing of joint spaces. Images were read separately by two independent radiologists centrally. Any discrepant reading was read by an independent third radiologist who was not aware of the initial reading results. The concordant reading of two out of three readers was used for analysis purposes.
Table 14 : Subjects with Joint Damage (Subjects with
Available Baseline and Endpoint Data)
Endpoint Assessment | Prophylaxis | Episodic Therapy | p-value | ||
Incidence (%) | Relative Risk (95% CI) | Incidence (%) | Relative Risk (95% CI) | ||
Radiography | 1/28 (4%) | 0.19 (0.02, 1.55) | 5/27 (19%) | 5.19 (0.65, 41.54) | 0.101 |
MRI or Radiography | 2/30 (7%) | 0.16 (0.04, 0.65) | 13/31 (42%) | 6.29 (1.55, 25.55) | 0.002 |
Relative Risk is the risk of damage to one or more index joints on the given therapy as compared to the other therapy.
P-value is from the 2-sided Fisher Exact Test comparing the incidence of joint damage between treatment groups.
As shown in Table 15 below, the assessment of endpoints in all randomized subjects assuming that those without complete baseline and endpoint data are treatment failures (intention-to-treat analysis). The incidence of joint damage was statistically significantly lower in the prophylactic group as compared to the episodic treatment group, with similar pvalues, when assessed by MRI, or either MRI or radiography.
Table 15 : Subjects with Joint Damage (All Randomized
Subjects Assuming Subjects without Complete Baseline and Endpoint Data as
Treatment Failures)
Endpoint Assessment | Prophylaxis (n=32) | Episodic Therapy (n=33) | p-value | ||
Incidence (%) | Relative Risk (95% CI) | Incidence (%) | Relative Risk (95% CI) | ||
Radiography | 5 (16%) | 0.47 (0.18, 1.20) | 11 (33%) | 2.13 (0.83, 5.45) | 0.150 |
MRI or Radiography | 8 (25%) | 0.43 (0.22, 0.85) | 19 (58%) | 2.30 (1.18, 4.49) | 0.012 |
Relative Risk is the risk of damage to one or more index joints on the given therapy as compared to the other therapy.
P-value is from the 2-sided Fisher Exact Test comparing the incidence of joint damage between treatment groups.

Drush PHP memory limit
With the default PHP settings, Drush will probably get a fatal error because the PHP memory limit is too low. Thankfully, the solution is very simple.
The Problem
You are using Drush and you get the following fatal error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /var/www/path/to/site/sites/all/modules/modulename/modulename.module on line 1271
The Solution
The solution is pretty straight forward. You need to increase the memory limit in the CLI version of php.ini. You may have already increased the memory limit in the Apache2 version but forgotten about the CLI version.
Assuming you are running Linux, Mac OSX or similar, open the php.ini in nano (or your preferred editor):
sudo nano /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Search for memory_limit. By default, this will be set to 32MB. Increase this to 256MB and save and close the file.
That is it!

I know Thanksgiving is a little over a month away but I love Thanksgiving books and when I saw this linky I knew I had to participate. Plus I'm already thinking about thanksgiving. I'm having surgery on my knee the Friday before Thanksgiving so I'll be out of school the week of Thanksgiving and most of the week afterwards. I'm looking for good units and activities that will be easy for a sub to do while I'm out. I'm a little bummed that I'll be missing this holiday with my students. I missed it last year because of a stomach virus. I think that might be worse to have a stomach virus on Thanksgiving rather than just being on crutches. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving books.
This one is my all time favorite. I think because I grew up with my aunt reading this story to my sister and I every Thanksgiving. I would like to continue the tradition and read this story to my niece, Sophie. She's two this year so I think we'll be reading it come Thanksgiving day. Although I think she's going to be disappointed that I won't be able to run with her like I usually do.
Here's another good one. There is one Night Before Thanksgiving where the farmer ends up shooting the turkey. This is not that book. My kids always seem to enjoy this book.
This is another good one. I love all these books and the kids always enjoy reading them. They are great books for text to text connections. I'm hoping this year to find a good first grade unit for this book and this be what my kids do with the substitute.
This last one is another favorite. My aunt bought it for me when I was teaching 3rd grade ELL. My mostly Spanish speaking students loved this book. It's a great story about family which is what I think Thanksgiving is all about.
As I was on Amazon looking for pictures of the books, I saw so many great Thanksgiving books. It makes me wish I was going to be there to teach it this year. I had to stop myself from buying some new books. Of course I always have to stop myself from buying new books when I'm Amazon. I'm currenly trying to stock my kindle so I have plenty to read while I'm having my surgery. Leave me a comment with a good adult book to read while I'm out recovering. I'll do the random number generator and pick a winner on Thursday and that person can have an item of their choice from my TPT store.
Be sure to check out First Grade Found Me to see what other people's favorite Thanksgiving books are.

Introduced by Caroline Jones
It's said there's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come...
This week's program is about a psychology student and a brainwave that became a phenomenon.
As Tasmania's terrifying bushfires took hold in January, Mel Irons set up a a Facebook page...
The spur of the moment decision became the start of a social media whirlwind that provided a helping hand to thousands of people isolated by the fires.
From generators for oyster breeders, to tin openers for the local Food Bank and even a small armada of boats to ferry supplies to the needy, Mel Irons was at the helm.
She admits she took risks and cut corners. But the essence of her approach is now being embraced by the State Government and Emergency Services.

More people living in Colorado's fire-prone areas, and policies might be making matters worse
Today, 1.1 million Coloradans live in more than half a million homes in
red zones across the state, an I-News analysis found. That's one of
every four homes and one of every five people in the state. In some
counties, including Pitkin — home to Aspen — Teller and Summit counties,
more than 90 percent of the population lives in a red zone.
Why Investors Are Suddenly Bullish on Office Real Estate
It should come as no surprise that the commercial real estate sector most sensitive to unemployment is office; that's where people work.
Slow job growth has helped a little, but really only in the trophy, coastal markets, so it may come as a surprise that investors are suddenly bullish on the sector.
How Long Can Housing Shrug Off Weak Jobs Growth?
Home sales started the year strong, fueled by record affordability and the sense that the economy was getting better. But the third straight month of weak job growth could give consumers pause. People don't buy houses when they don't feel great about their job prospects.
The question now: How long can the housing market shrug off weak job growth, not to mention the continued problems in Europe and looming spending cuts here at home?
GE backs off on solar plant
General Electric Co. is delaying plans to build the largest solar panel factory in the U.S. in Aurora.
The changing solar energy industry caused the decision, the Colorado Office of Economic Development said in a statement. The plant was expected to employ upward of 400 workers.
GE told state and local officials it plans to postpone construction of its PrimeStar solar panel plant by at least 14 to 18 months.
As US economy steadies, bank closings become rarer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Fewer U.S. banks are failing than at any time since the financial crisis erupted in 2008. The healthier banking industry is helping sustain an economy slowed by lackluster hiring, weak manufacturing and Europe's debt crisis.
Banks have benefited from low interest rates, higher account fees and more mergers. The recovery from the financial crisis has helped, too. It means more people and businesses can take out and repay loans.

Mermaid made of embossed, inked metal |
What you need
- paper, pencil, eraser, and scissors
- colored art metal (Ten Seconds Studio)
- medium weight pewter-colored art metal (Amaco ArtEmboss)
- 1/8 inch hole punch
- brads (Tim Holtz Idea-ology mini fasteners)
- paper stump, fine-point stylus
- sanding block
- art metal mold (Ten Seconds Studio)
- alcohol inks and alcohol ink applicatr (Ranger Adirondack)
- glue dots (Zots)
- popsicle sticks
- seashells
Some of the items you need, clockwise from left: art metal, art metal mold, scissors, sanding block, paper stump, glue dots, popsicle sticks, seasehlls, brads, alcohol inks and alcohol ink applicator |
Sketch out your mermaid on a large sheet of paper. Note where the jointed parts will be: neck, elbows, hand, tail. |
Place the pewter art metal underneath the paper. Using a fine-point wood stylus (or any sharp-pointed tool), trace over each part of the mermaid. The impression will transfer to the metal. |
Cut out the pieces, punching holes for the jointed parts. |
Put the mermaid together with brads and, using scissors, make any adjustments needed to the shapes. Then take the tail parts off so you can emboss and color them later. |
Using a gold piece of art metal and the wood stylus, draw stylized shapes for the hair and cut them out. |
Time to emboss! Using the paper stump, rub some embossed patterns into the hair and tail. |
Use the sanding block to rub over the raised areas, removing the color from the raised spots. Wipe down the metal with a damp paper towel. |
Here are all the embossed pieces, ready for coloring. |
Apply glue dots to the hair pieces and stick them on in a wild and wavy pattern. The glue dots are quite strong; you'll only need one per piece of hair. |
Add embellishments: small seashells on the tail, a seashell belly button, and shell bikini, hair piece, and bracelet. |
The 8-year-old got into the sea theme and made a fishy friend for our mermaid. |

Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne took out a full-page ad in this morning's Wall Street Journal shredding billionaire Steven Cohen for his hedge fund's indictment by a Federal Grand Jury earlier this week.
The firm, SAC Capital, has been charged with insider trading.
Byrne's animosity didn't come out of nowhere — on a 20o5 conference call the CEO of Overstock.com said that "Sith Lords" were naked short-selling his stock and destroying the company. He later identified them to be SAC's Steve Cohen and Michael Milken.
Now that you know where all the hate comes from, check out the ad below (via Instagram: ognjenglisic)
"Congratulations on the indictment, Stevie, and remember: roll early, roll often. You friend Patrick M. Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com," it reads. Major schadenfreude.

The next generation of Koreans could take part in a national revival of South Korea and put the ghosts of the 20th century to rest.

The government's petty harassment didn't end after I served time for being a whistleblower.
I went to Athens to see what economic catastrophe looks like on the ground. What I saw shocked me.
Half of young Greeks are unemployed, and over 40 percent live in poverty. Is default really worse than letting Europe squeeze the country dry?
Join high-level representatives from Greece's SYRIZA, Spain's PODEMOS, and Germany's DIE LINKE to discuss the impact of austerity and the alternative policy agendas of these parties.
Why is the Obama administration pressing Europeans to increase military spending? And what should it matter to Washington if Britain remains in the EU?
Other countries have problems, but Greece's are an encyclopedia of bad behavior.
There's actually not such a great distance between what's happening in Greece and the "green economy" agenda that the EU is pushing here.
Maybe the end of the Washington consensus is finally upon us.
What made Europe a compelling political, economic, and social alternative wedged between Anglo-American free marketeers and Soviet nomenklatura is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is putting a massive beachfront home on the New Jersey shore up for sale as it faces a $17 million budget deficit and millions in legal bills associated with a child sex abuse case.
The home used by vacationing retired priests will be shuttered on Saturday, a spokesman for the archdiocese said this week. It isn't yet listed with a broker but that will change soon.
The nine-bedroom property occupies a full block along the Boardwalk in Ventnor, N.J. Tax records show it's assessed at $6.2 million. Retired priests have used the home, called Villa St. Joseph by the Sea, as a getaway since the archdiocese acquired the property in 1963.
Neighbor Charles Fischer told The Philadelphia Inquirer he would miss the priests, calling them "the most wonderful neighbors you could have."
The sale comes as the archdiocese deals with a massive budget gap and legal bills resulting from a landmark sex abuse case that ended in the conviction of a high-ranking church official.
Monsignor William Lynn was convicted of child endangerment for his handling of complaints against one priest. Prosecutors said he took part in a cover-up that included the shuffling of pedophile priests to unwitting parishes.
The archdiocese estimated the case had cost it at least $10 million in legal bills.
Archbishop Charles Chaput last week announced plans to cut 45 jobs and stop publishing the diocesan newspaper because of budget problems.
The house cost the archdiocese almost $115,000 in property taxes last year. The church also paid for staff including cooks, waiters and caretakers for the retired priests.

Today is the start of National Dog Week (September 19–25), a weeklong celebration of our canine companions that has apparently been around for more than eight decades. It's on my radar thanks to the efforts of Lisa Begin-Kruysman, an artist and writer in Brick Township, N.J., who has been doing all she can (including a blog [3], Facebook page [4], and a book titled "Every Dog has its Week") to revive what had become a flagging tradition. Ultimately, these day/week/month/year designations kind of irritate me. Here's my issue: Isn't every day National Dog Day? I know it is in my house. Why limit yourself? Are you kind to your dad or mom—only one day a year? (If you answered yes to that, you've got challenges we can't get into here.) So I treat these designations as little alarm bells, a reminder to do something more or different. Happily, a sort of solution has presented itself: National Dog Week overlaps with Petfinder's Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week [5] (September 17–25). This is a cause very dear to my heart since my husband and I specialize in unadoptable pups—most recently, a big (strike one), black (strike two), five-year-old former sled dog. In Fairbanks, where Renzo lived until joining us, old sled dogs are about as desirable as a bikini in February. Every day we are grateful for Renzo's presence, never more than during the past few weeks, as we've coped with the sudden death of our older dog Lulu. From the waiting room at Washington State University veterinary hospital to the days that have followed, Renzo seems to know precisely when we need a little extra snuggling and when we need a kick in the pants. Of the people I've talked to who adopted "less-adoptable" dogs—those with behavioral challenges, health problems and/or intimidating looks, or simply seniors—they all, to a person, describe something special in the connection, maybe a sense of bad fate narrowly avoided. It may be projection, but it's a good sort of projection that inspires us to help dogs who need a little extra dose of compassion. So why not celebrate two weeks in one? Perhaps National Dog Week is your excuse to make the leap for a dog with less than stellar chances. Or, if that's too big a step right now, maybe you can support a shelter or rescue that is going the extra mile to find homes for these special-needs pups. Check out the gallery of less-adoptable pets at Petfinder [6]. |

The chief executive of Tesco, Sir Terry Leahy, has called Gordon Brown's recent attack on food waste "well-meaning but wrong-headed". In an interview today in The Independent on Sunday, the boss of the £51.8bn supermarket chain dismissed allegations that the company wastes food, encourages binge drinking and is destroying the face of rural England. "We hardly waste anything," Sir Terry said. "Our waste is just 1 per cent. That's not thrown away; it's just sold at a reduced price."
He also expresses disappointment at the Government's advice to firms dealing with Zimbabwe. Initially Tesco said it would maintain its connection with the country, but then pulled out. The Government, he said, had not provided clear guidance. "It gave – very disappointingly – very mixed messages about what was the right thing to do," he said.
Tesco stands accused of directly fuelling the rise in teenage drinking by driving its alcohol prices to new lows, but Sir Terry also took issue with this claim.
"It's impossible for us to manipulate our prices, because in this market if you price up unilaterally, it's commercial suicide. Therefore, the industry would have to do it collectively, but it can't because that would be collusive behaviour," he said. He added that he had told the Prime Minister he would be willing to meet to discuss alcohol pricing.
The man whose relentlessness in business has earned him the title "the Robert Mugabe of Retail" also rejects the idea that his stores are responsible for the demise of rural England and the rise of clone towns. Calling the popularly held opinion "completely bogus analysis", he dismisses it as being based on an image of Britain's past "which never existed".
The man who has also been dubbed "the Godfather of British binge drinking" then turned the criticism on his opponents.
"When people use language like this, attacking modern supermarkets, whether it's about waste or food sourcing, or the high street, or drink, what they are actually attacking is the people using supermarkets," he said.
"The danger is that you end up saying that they're idiots in how they live their lives. And in my experience they are not idiots... and if you go too far down this tack, well, I'm not a politician, but politically it doesn't get you anywhere."

Select the APK file and install.
You may have to check "Unknown Sources" on.
Step 5. Run the Viper4Android app and you should get a Superuser request window.
Step 6. Viper4Android app will ask you to install V4A driver, choose "Yes" to install.

Hubbard followed his own advice quite a bit. However, not the the "advice" that was publicized, or that Scientology would usually like to have identified with its founder. There's an ample amount of amoral, immoral, Machiavellian, megalomaniacal, and just plain evil "advice" expressed in his writings, but you won't find it in books donated to libraries, or on display on some wall, or hanging in big plastic letters in front of an Org.
Scientology is built on the overt(visible)/covert(behind-the scenes) paradigm. The stuff that Hubbard took seriously was not that which he put on display for the naive faithful, or unsuspecting 'raw meat'.
To be perfectly blunt: Hubbard preferred that his followers be stupid on the topic of himself and the core-doctrine of Scientology, while, at the same time, being dominated by him and by that core-doctrine.
I would prefer not to comply with that particular bit of 'Command Intention'.

(Courtesy of Dave Butler) Above is the title lobby card from the Columbia release of THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN. |
June, 2010: Dave Butler is researching THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN and is looking for all things related to the film. He's especially interested in obtaining pressbooks from the original release and the later Columbia release. Also trailers, stills, and clippings. Contact ye Old Corral webmaster if you have anything, and I'll pass your e-mail on to Dave. |
I get e-mails ... lots and lots of e-mails. And over the years, there were dozens and dozens of messages that began with something like this:
"I remember a western I saw as a kid ... and the actors were midgets and they rode ponies ... am I crazy or dreaming ... or was there really a film like that ?"
There were comedy westerns, mountie westerns, eerie westerns, trio westerns ... good westerns and bad westerns. Time for the Old Corral to chronicle a unique (bizarre) western --- "Jed Buell's Midgets" in THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN.
The Hollywood career of Jed Buell (1897-1961) began with the Mack Sennett studio. In the mid 1930s, he was in charge of the initial Fred Scott singing westerns, which were independently produced and released on a states rights basis by Spectrum (C. C. Burr took over the production reins on the Scott oaters from Buell). Buell seemed to be one who would take chances to make a buck --- he did HARLEM ON THE PRAIRIE (1937) which introduced big band singer Herb Jeffries as a western movie hero. In the early 1940s, Buell was in charge of several of the comedy features starring Mantan Moreland who is probably best remembered as chauffer "Birmingham Brown" in the Charlie Chan series.
In 1938, Buell was responsible for a film that remains unique in Hollywood history. The movie was THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN which featured an all midget cast playing cowboys and cowgirls ... with everybody riding ponies to and fro ... and there was lots of singing (some dubbed while other tunes were sung by the cast) ... and unique film moments included midgets walking under the swingin' doors of the local saloon, midgets walking under hitchin' posts, and there were ponies pulling a stagecoach.
The hero was Billy Curtis (1909-1988), best known as the City Father of Munchkin City in the Judy Garland WIZARD OF OZ. Thirty plus years later, Curtis was still doing films such as HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER (1972) which starred Clint Eastwood. TINY TOWN cast members Yvonne Moray, "Little Billy" Rhodes, John T. Bambury, Joseph Herbst, Charles Becker, Nita Krebs, George Ministeri, and William H. O'Docharty also worked in the OZ film.
The director was none other than Sam Newfield (1899-1964) (real name: Sam Neufeld). In the 1930s, Sam worked anywhere and everywhere, and his directing credits during this period include Renfrew Mountie adventures and oaters starring Fred Scott, Kermit Maynard, Ken Maynard, Tim McCoy, Bob Steele, Johnny Mack Brown and Rex Bell. In the 1940s, Sam and his brother Sigmund Neufeld wound up at Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC), churning out dozens of westerns including George Houston and Bob Livingston as The Lone Rider, The Frontier Marshals with Art Davis, Bill "Cowboy Rambler" Boyd and Lee Powell, and the long-running Billy the Kid/Billy Carson series with Bob Steele and Buster Crabbe. In later life, Newfield worked on TV shows such as CAPTAIN GALLANT OF THE FOREIGN LEGION (with Crabbe) and HAWKEYE (LAST OF THE MOHICANS) with John "Lone Ranger" Hart and Lon Chaney Jr.
Les Adams adds:
THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN was first released in 1938 through the various Indie exchanges around the country that handled films from the likes of Jed Buell, Spectrum, et al. Columbia bought the film a few months later, made up a new press book and posters and sent it back out through their own exchanges as a Columbia film, just as they had previously done on the indie production from Sunset, HEROES OF THE ALAMO. I stress that the film was not originally made for nor intended to be distributed by Columbia. Columbia probably picked it up to fill an unexpected hole in their production schedule, i. e., number of films promised to be delivered to their exchanges for the 1937-38 production season.
Film Daily gave it a good review on initial release as a novelty that would draw patrons.
Leading lady Yvonne Moray was a cabaret performer --- singer and dancer --- in New York City for many years, and had been in several shorts (that needed short people) filmed on the East Coast by Educational and Vitaphone. One that still survives is MOVIE-MANIA and the footage with her and Dave Apollon in that one can best be described as weird and surreal.
Although some of the data may be incomplete or inaccurate, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has the cast and crew information for THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030845/

Over the years, several folks have asked whether the story editor Helen Gurley is the Helen Gurley Brown of Cosmopolitan magazine. Back in 2003, I connected with Jed Buell, the son of Jed Buell and Helen Gurley. He provided the following on his mother and father: "My mom, Helen Gurley, graduated from USC, majored in journalism and worked on the Trojan News. She came to Hollywood, working on several LA newspapers including the Citizen News. Jimmy Starr hired her as Drama Editor; she was one of the first woman editors in Hollywood, along with Luella and Hedda Hopper. Helen met my dad at the Sennett Studios; he was head of Publicity for the studio at the time. They married in 1934, having me in 1939. Helen worked as story editor on the Fred Scott westerns as well as The Terror of Tiny Town. Their last large project was in the fifties, mom wrote and dad filmed and produced a soap opera for TV called The Kittie Gordon Story. NBC was interested; they wanted to go live with similar camera techniques as SPACE PATROL. However it was not picked up. Helen had a long career as a writer; she passed away in 1994 at the age of 92. However: she was not Helen Gurley Brown, editor of Cosmo." Sincerely, Jed Buell |

Notes & Reviews:
Deborah Voigt stars in the title role of Puccini's wild west opera - in a spectacular performance seen live in cinemas worldwide as part of the Metropolitan Opera 'Live in HD' series.
The opera rests on three demanding central roles; the saloon owner Minnie, the handsome stranger Dick Johnson (Marcello Giordani) and the menacing Sheriff Jack Rance (Lucio Gallo). The high-point of the drama is a poker game between Minnie and Rance in which Puccini winds up the musical tension before delivering a shattering dramatic climax.
Giancarlo Del Monaco's richly authentic production, with spectacular sets by Michael Scott, brings the wild west to the Met stage with a panorama of colorful characters and live horses!
The opera was premiered at the Met in 1910.
The New York Times
I cannot think of a soprano who can sing any better this demanding role. What wins you over is Voigt's deep feeling for the character.
The New York Times
Thanks in large part to the stylish, nuanced and sensitive conducting of Nicola Luisotti, the score emerged as arguably Puccini's most subtly written and boldly modern music.

Other than the obvious difference in sizing, how does the average women's shoe differ from a mens? Let's say I wear a 10.5 in a Nike 2K10 and the equivalent in a women's would be a 12. Is it gonna fit? Is it basically the same shoe only in chics colors? Or does Nike change it around to fit a women's foot? Same goes for the Breathe Frees that Nike made for years in women's after they stopped making it for men.
In most cases, women-specific shoes will be narrower, particularly at the heel. However, it doesn't mean men cannot wear them (just remember the 1-2 size difference) if they fit, it just means the shape is designed to be proportionately more suitable to the average shape of a woman's foot.
Most women's shoes are built on a different last. The last is normally narrower. So, usually, the same length women's version of a shoe will fit narrower than the men's version.
Did anyone say?: "Women's shoes are specifically designed to withstand shrieking, grunting, moaning AND bogus medical time outs?"

Troy Tulowitzki has helped Colorado go 8-3 in its last 11 games versus southpaw starters.
Since then, however, the only fans that feel the Rockies are going to the postseason could fit in a phone booth.
Following those wins at Dodger Stadium, Colorado dropped the series finale and then proceeded to get swept by the lowly Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field before returning to Coors Field and losing the opener to the San Francisco Giants.
Top MLB Betting Action at 5Dimes.com
The Rockies snapped that five-game slide Saturday with a dramatic 10-9 extra inning win over the Giants, thanks to the magic bat of Troy Tulowitzki.
Colorado lurked 3 ½ games behind San Francisco and Atlanta in the wild-card standings, and four back of the division-leading Padres, with eight games remaining, including Sunday's finale with the Giants.
The Los Angeles Dodgers provide the opposition for the Rockies in their final three home games of the regular baseball betting season, beginning Monday.
This isn't the way Joe Torre wanted to say goodbye. Barring a miracle finish, the Dodgers and their manager will stumble across the finish line next Sunday with their worst full-season record since 1980.
Ubaldo Jimenez (19-7, 3.00) looks to stifle Los Angeles, pick up his 20th victory, and keep the Rockies relevant Monday when he takes the mound.
Stifling the Dodgers shouldn't be a problem, as their incredibly shrinking offense is averaging 2.3 runs per game in the last 18 contests.
However, the Rockies are just 2-6 in Jimenez' last eight starts against Los Angeles. In his first two starts against the Dodgers he allowed just four earned runs in 14 1/3 innings, but the Rockies lost both games. He beat the Dodgers on Sept 17 at Dodger Stadium, but was nicked for four runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings.
Left-hander Ted Lilly (8-12, 3.83) is Torre's likely starter in the opener. The former Chicago Cubs starter has lost five of his last six despite four quality starts, including a strong outing against San Diego last Wednesday.
Lilly dominated against the Rockies at home on Aug. 19, tossing a complete-game two-hit shutout while striking out 11. He didn't fare as well in the rematch at Coors Field on Aug. 29 when he lasted just four innings and was tagged for seven runs and nine hits, though he did strike out eight.
Colorado has feasted on southpaw starters recently, winning eight of its last 11.
Los Angeles had lost 10 of 14 on the highway prior to Sunday and it has flunked 12 of 16 division tests. The Dodgers have also stumbled in 21 of their last 26 on the road versus winning teams.
The Rockies have won four of the past five series encounters after dropping six of the first nine.
The last four meetings have ended on the high side. Colorado has topped the 'total' in Jimenez's last six home starts versus Los Angeles and in eight of his last 11 home outings overall. The Dodgers have ducked 'under' in seven of their past eight series openers.

Big Labor had another bad day today. Although he represents Iowa--a right-to-work state, Sen. Tom Harkin is possibly the most pro-union Democrat in the US Senate--and the competition for that title is fierce.
Harkin hinted several times that he would try to sneak Big Labor's Holy Grail into law--the anti-democratic (small "d") menace to job creation known as union card check. Thankfully, he wasn't able to pull it off.
Harkin announced today that he will not run for reelection next year.
The current pushback against Big Labor is strongest in the Upper Midwest. While Harkin's seat is by no means a likely Republican pick-up, it's hard to imagine Hawkeyes voting in a Democrat who matches Harkin's zeal for unions. Even finding such a creature will be a challenge in Iowa.

The Little Things

Hi Diana,
It is always a good day when I log on and see you have a new blog post......
There are so many expressions and sayings that come to mind for me, some that Mother used that were funny and usually had a curse word or two in them but in a weird way were words of wisdom. Than there are ones that my MIL uses that she says in Italian. I think MY favorite one is "Life is short, eat dessert first". We are so busy with life that we forget to slow down, to stop and smell the roses, to eat dessert first, to enjoy what is right in front of our eyes.One saying that has ALWAYS rung true for me--from an old Carly Simon song Anticipation-
"These ARE the good old days" I think of it so often--and it makes me live in the moment.....
love your blog--and have purchased a set of your bread boards..will do a post on them and let you know when i do--just purchased some really great dinner plates that will look SO cool with them!!
chrisHi Diana,
I'm pretty new to your blog too. I am so excited to try some of my own ideas with pallets and barn wood after seeing your posts. You are such an inspiration. My husband just brought home a truck load of pallets for me to start with. :] If you have any tips or tricks for taking them apart, that would be much appreciated!
One of my favorite quotes is "Live the life you love, and Love the life you live." I am not sure who it is by, but I love it.
Thanks for all your great inspiration!!
ToriThe quote that stares at me every time I sit down at the computer is, "Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". A couple other faves are, "As long as you have bread and wine, you can laugh in the face of destiny" and "If you would be happy all your life, plant a garden".
Good to see you pop up in my Reader. :)- AnonymousThu Jan 05, 11:13:00 AM CST
Friends come and go, enemies accumulate, family is forever!
ReplyDelete My all time favourite would have to be 'My Hand - My Heart - My Life' it is etched on most things precious I have. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope twenty twelve is everything you wish for and more. I am so glad I found you. I will follow on my way out so I can revisit. I hope you can find the time to come visit me and do the same. I look forward to engaging throughout the year. Cheers SpecialK XoXo

Just happened to stumble upon your site while looking for info on using reclaimed lumber for countertops. Your home is lovely and I am much appreciating your budget savy ways.
We purchased a century old farmhouse this fall (that sadly, was 'updated' in the 70's). My goal is to recapture the feel of a hundred year old home room by room. In our kitchen I am wanting to do the plank counter top. Am wondering what you would recoment that I apply after oil and stain to create a non-permiable surface. Not worried about food prep as the island will have a food safe butcher block top.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment today! I read every one and they always put a smile on my face! Thanks for stopping by!

June, 2010, Vol. 10, Issue 06 The 42-Pound HeadBy Erik Dalton, PhD "For every inch of Forward Head Posture, it can increase the weight of the head on the spine by an additional 10 pounds." Kapandji, Physiology of Joints, Vol. 3 It's not uncommon to have clients walk into your office sporting a 12-pound head that's migrated three inches forward of their shoulders. You know prior to palpation that their cervical extensors (semispinalis, splenii, longissimus and upper traps) are in a losing battle attempting to isometrically restrain 42 pounds against the unrelenting force of gravity. (Fig. 1) Rene Cailliet, MD, former director of the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Southern California wrote:
The body follows the head. Therefore, the entire body is best aligned by first restoring proper functional alignment to the head".1 The effects of poor posture go far beyond just looking awkward. In fact, the January, 2004 issue of the American Journal of Pain Management reported on the relationship of poor posture and chronic pain conditions including low back pain, neck related headaches, and stress-related illnesses. "The extra pressure imposed on the neck from poor posture flattens the normal cervical curve resulting in abnormal strain on muscles, ligaments, fascia and bones."2 Research presented at the 31st International Conference of the IEEE EMBS Minneapolis (2009) stated; "Over time poor posture results in pain, muscle aches, tension and headache and can lead to long-term complications such as osteoarthritis. Forward head carriage may promote accelerated aging of intervertebral joints resulting in degenerative joint disease."3 (Fig. 3). It appears posture impacts and modulates all bodily functions from breathing to hormonal production. Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse and lung capacity are among the many conditions influenced by faulty posture. "90 percent of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine" Dr. Roger Sperry, (Nobel Prize Recipient for Brain Research) Additionally, Dr. Roger Sperry demonstrated that 90 percent of the brain's energy output is used in relating the physical body to gravity. Only 10 percent has to do with thinking, metabolism, and healing.4 Consequently, a FHP will cause the brain to rob energy from thinking, metabolism, and immune function to deal with abnormal gravity/posture relationships and processing. The March 2000 Mayo Clinic Health Letter expounded on Sperry's findings by reporting that prolonged FHP also leads to "myospasm, disc herniations, arthritis and pinched nerves." Degenerative neck pain goes hand-in-hand with balance problems especially in the elderly. Sensitive cervical spine mechanoreceptors govern the body's ability to balance and must be perfectly coordinated with the inner ear's vestibular balance system to stabilize equilibrium in both static posture and gait. Keeping the eyes looking forward is a basic life-preserving reflex, and as such, dominates nearly all other postural considerations. Proprioceptive signals from the first 4 cervical vertebrae are a major source of stimuli for regulating the body's pain-controlling chemicals (endorphins). FHP dramatically reduces endorphin production by limiting the cervical spine's range of motion. Inadequate endorphin production up-regulates the central nervous system causing non painful sensations to be experienced as pain. Figure 4 shows a couple of good mobilization techniques to restore joint-play to upper cervical fixated facets. Dr. Alf Breig, a Swedish neurosurgeon and Nobel Prize recipient coined the termed 'adverse neural tension' to describe the mechanism by which loss of normal cervical lordotic curve creates dysfunction and disease.5 Through cadaver studies, Dr. Breig demonstrated that neck flexion could stretch the spinal cord 5-7 cm causing tensioning of the meninges (covering of the brain and spinal cord) and elicit measurable pressure on brain-stem nuclei (nerve control centers) which control all basic life functions. The increased compression led to dysregulation of basic metabolic control functions. Recall that the spinal cord is actually only "tethered" to the bony skeleton in the upper cervical and lowest sacral areas (top and bottom ends of the spine). In between these polar attachments, the spinal cord is relatively free to move up and down. Free-floating mobility of the cord is essential in allowing bending and twisting of our bodies. Anything that reduces that freedom, i.e., exaggerated or flattened spinal curves, dural impingement, etc. increases cord and brain stem tension. Increased tensile stress on the cord and brain stem not only interferes with the control of basic body processes such as breathing and motor control but in cases of dural impingement, may encourage painful cervical radiculopathies. Identifying Common Compensatory Patterns Fortunately, the legendary biomedical researcher Vladimir Janda, MD has helped simplify assessment of commonly seen muscle imbalance patterns consistent with FHP. Janda's Upper Crossed Syndrome (Fig. 5) is characterized by overactivity or tightness in the upper trapezius, levator, suboccipitals. sternocleidomastoids and pectoralis major and reciprocal weakness of the deep neck flexors and lower scapular stabilizers. Trained therapists visually recognize this aberrant pattern through postural and gait analysis and kinesthetically through tissue palpation and muscle length testing. Unfortunately, as normal movement patterns are altered by persistent pain, joint fixations or muscle imbalances, new neuronal pathways are burned into the central nervous system and gradually memorized as normal (neuroplasticity). Any deviation of normal head and neck movement alters precise firing order patterns causing the prime mover to be slow to activate. Substitution patterns develop as synergistic stabilizing muscles are recruited to do the job of the prime mover. Some believe the first step in restoring proper muscle balance is to mobilize dysfunctional joints to help reprogram these garbled neuromuscular pathways. Once normal joint play is established and muscle splinting removed, structural integrative soft tissue work creates functional length/strength balance. Correction of Upper Crossed neck posture is key to stopping and possibly reversing decay, degenerative changes and pain from headaches, rib dysfunction, TMJ, and Dowager's Humps...but it takes time and a concerted effort to repair the damage caused by faulty neck posture. The following traits are often seen in those presenting with Upper Crossed Syndrome:
Summary Often seen as a structurally subtle body segment, the neck is burdened with the challenging task of supporting and moving the human head. Because of tension, trauma and poor postural habits inherent in today's workplace, it comes as no surprise that head-on-neck and neck-on-thorax disorders rank high among the most common pain generators driving people into bodywork practices. When spinal tissues are exposed to continued compression, they deform and go through a transformation that can become permanent. Correction of Upper Crossed neck posture is key to stopping and reversing degenerative joint disease and pain from headaches, rib dysfunction, TMJ, and Dowager's Humps. English philosopher Bertrand Russell once stated, "A physical system expresses its energy through function". Any loss of function sets off reactions within the body's open, dynamic system which manifests as structural abnormalities...and vice-versa. When treating functional problems such as loss of joint play, therapists must look beyond the symptoms and the artificial dividing of the body into systems and treat the whole. References

Foie+Short Rib at Break of Dawn=Breakfast of Champions
Haven Gastropub Chef Greg Daniels is undoubtedly Orange County's champion of foie gras, hosting a "Fight for Foie" dinner last night in the face of protestors and even heading to Sacramento to lobby lawmakers in support of the luscious liver.
While he's not on the front lines, Weekly favorite Dee Nguyen of Break of Dawn is doing what he can to honor the ingredient before it's scratched from California's restaurant menus on July 1.
Until that day, he'll be offering a 2.4 oz. slab of the stuff atop his most decadent dish, the beef short ribs--a 14-hour braised hunk of beef with mushroom ragu, prickly ash pepper jus and a merlot poached egg.
The $17 plate gets the ultimate upgrade for $6. As Dee put it: "Foie in your short ribs. Breakfast of champions!"
