Crispy-crunchy gets our vote every time. The combo beats out all other textures (yes, even rich and creamy). Perhaps that's why we can't resist a freshly picked radish, the skin off anything roasted, the jumbo deli pickle and chips of any kind.
So when we fell in love with nut-crusted fish and toasted crumb-coated crab cakes while vacationing on the East Coast, we shouldn't have been surprised. A serving of crispy coconut mahi mahi sealed the deal. We had to alter our seafood cooking (mostly broiling and grilling) at home.
Good news: Coating fish and seafood with a crunchy exterior is a bit simpler than coating cutlets for Wiener schnitzel and milanesa. Simply dunk fish fillets in lightly beaten and seasoned egg whites, then into a crumb mixture.
For the coating, a few roasted nuts combined with ultracrisp panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) helps ensure crunch. A little unsweetened coconut also adds texture along with just a hint of coconut flavor. (If anyone — meaning my son — objects to coconut, omit it and opt for additional panko.) If you have time, let the coated fish rest on a wire rack set over a baking sheet for a little while; this dries it out a bit so it'll crisp better.
Deep-frying, while maximizing crispness, proves too messy and fat-laden. Brief shallow-frying in a well-seasoned cast-iron pan (or nonstick skillet) skimps on the fat yet still crisps the fish nicely. Pop the pan into a very hot oven to crisp the second side.
Wild-caught mahi mahi from the U.S. works beautifully here. So do fresh Pacific halibut, tuna and U.S. farmed tilapia or catfish. Panko breadcrumbs are available in most large supermarkets and Asian markets. Look for unsweetened coconut in Asian markets and store it in the freezer.
There's a reason tartar sauce accompanies crusted or fried fish — it cuts the rich coating. So does a tangy fruit relish spiked with a little fresh lime. Here, fresh pineapple purchased from the salad bar, mixed with crunchy cucumbers and cilantro adds amazing freshness to the plate in a snap.
A simple side dish of steamed vegetables makes a great accompaniment to the crunchy fish. For dessert — guess what? Rich and creamy tangerine sorbet. Just don't forget the ginger snaps.

Mix chopped nuts, breadcrumbs, coconut, herbs, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste in a shallow dish. Put egg whites and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt into another shallow dish; beat lightly with a fork until frothy.
2. Dip fish into egg whites; let excess drip off. Coat fish on all sides in breadcrumb mixture. Put onto a wire rack set over a pan. If desired, refrigerate an hour or so.
3. Heat oil in large, well-seasoned cast-iron (or nonstick) ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add fish in a single uncrowded layer (use two skillets if necessary). Cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Gently flip fish; put into oven. Cook until crisped and fish is nearly firm, 5 to 7 minutes.

A senior White House aide Sunday denied the Obama administration tried to downplay the apparent terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya.
Robert Gibbs said the initial characterization of the attack as a spontaneous event stemming from a street demonstration was accurate given the information available at the time.
Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other State Department employees were killed when demonstrators sacked the Benghazi consulate. At the time, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice portrayed the attack as an unplanned assault by opportunistic militants.
Republicans scoffed at the idea and said the raid had been planned in advance by terrorists who used the protest as cover. They accused Rice and the administration of downplaying the incident to cover up lax diplomatic security.
But Gibbs told "Fox News Sunday" the evidence supporting the terrorism claim did not surface until later, and the White House dutifully changed its assessment.
"The answer (was) based on what (Rice) knew at that point and we've learned more and we're going to continue to learn more," Gibbs said. "The most important thing is we get to the bottom of the intelligence and what happened and what may or may not have caused this incident?"

Business Credit Score: What It Means to Your Business
Every business has both a Business Credit Score and a Business Credit Report. A good (high) business credit score is key to having your company approved for financing and trade credit. Your Business Credit Score ranks the creditworthiness of your business, just the same as your personal score acts as a financial rating.
How Are Business Credit Scores Determined?
Business credit scores are determined by reporting agencies, such as Ansonia Credit Data, with several factors going into the calculation of these figures. Various traits about your company and its financial history determine how credit scores are calculated for your business. Please see below for some factors that may determine your business credit score.
Outstanding Debts
Payment History
Credit Utilization Ratio
Public Records, which may include bankruptcies, liens, and judgements
Length of Credit History
Company Size
Industry Risk
Some of the above factors are unique to Business Credit Scores while many are similar to the ones used for calculating your personal credit score.
How Are Business Credit Scores Used?
Before a lender or other creditor can approve your business for finance they need to determine how capable your business is of repaying its debts, and this is where your business credit score comes in. If your business has a high Credit Score it indicates to creditors that your business is trustworthy; that it is not a high risk for finance. Lenders will use the business credit report of your company to obtain detailed information about the financial history of your business; with your Business Credit Score serving as a quick-check evaluation.
In addition, a high business credit score may give you access to more credit than you would be able to receive if applying for finance with only your personal credit score.
It is Important to Check Your Business Credit Score
All business owners should review the financial information of their company on a regular basis, and this includes their business credit score. These scores are fluid and can change with time. It is for this reason that creditors will assess your creditworthiness on a regular basis. If you should notice that your business credit score is low, there could well be an error in the credit reports which resulted in an inaccurate calculation. It might also be that your business does not warrant a higher score because it does not have sufficient credit history.
However, if you believe there is an error in your Business Credit Score it is imperative that you contact the credit agency that generated the score in order to have this score checked, and corrected if necessary. If no error has occurred, it is still possible to increase your business credit score over a period of time by making payments on time and lowering the credit utilization ratio for your company .
Regardless of whether you are just starting out in business or you have been in the game for many years, an essential aspect of staying competitive in business is to build a strong credit profile.
Improving Your Business Credit Score
It can be confusing trying to determine how and when business credit scores are used; however, it is actually very simple to keep your score high. Basically, it is the same as taking care of your personal credit.
Make sure your business bills are paid either on time or before their due date;
Maintain your credit utilization at around 25%. It is important that you do not max out your credit lines; and
Open multiple credit accounts; such as trade lines, business credit cards, and loans.
About Business Credit Reports
You are probably aware that you can check your financial history by viewing your personal credit report. Well, the same information can be reviewed for your business, and that is because credit bureaus scour public records and other financial data in order to develop a credit report on your company the moment you start a business. So, when you receive trade credit (also known as a business loan or line of credit), information about your payment history is compiled and turned into a business credit score by a company such as Ansonia Credit Data. Ansonia Credit Data is a premier business credit reporting provider.
One of the most important aspects of being a small business owner is to take the appropriate steps to build your business credit profile. Doing this will assist in creating strong business relationships and open up financial opportunities that will make running and growing your business so much easier.

Subscribe To Johnny Depp Reportedly Nearing Deal For A Fifth Pirates Of The Caribbean Movie Updates
I've already subscribed
Disney wants to do it. Jerry Bruckheimer certainly wants to do it. About the only thing standing in the way of another Pirates of the Caribbean film is Johnny Depp, and it sounds like that domino is about to fall.
The Oscar-nominated A-lister is "close to signing a deal" to return to the role of vagabond pirate Capt. Jack Sparrow for a fifth Caribbean effort, The Wrap reports. Back before Rob Marshall's On Stranger Tides opened in theaters, screenwriter Terry Rossio turned in a script for a fifth Pirates adventure, which prompted Depp to ask Disney to slow down, space the sequels out, and give him time to play other characters.
Then On Stranger Tides earned more than $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, and Depp apparently changed his tune.
That being said, the actor is on the hook for a handful of other projects, so even if he did agree to a fifth Pirates film, it likely would have to happen after already announced film versions of The Lone Ranger with Gore Verbinski and Armie Hammer, as well as a remake of The Thin Man with Marshall at the helm. Or the latter could be pushed overboard in favor of Pirates 5 … or whatever off-kilter subtitle they come up with. (Ranger seems locked into its December 2012 release date, and might be the only thing Depp does before returning to the high seas.)
Either way, a fifth Pirates film became inevitable the minute the latest entry sailed past the $1 billion (with a "B") mark, and Depp's minor protests no doubt fell on deaf ears. Plus, with that many tickets sold, the people have spoken with their wallets. Everyone seems to be demanding more Jack Sparrow and it sounds like's Depp's ready to play along.

Talk about abrasive
"SLG--as someone who struggled to get pregnant and would do anything to have a baby, your comments are abrasive. You seem to take pregnancy for granted. And, I guess, since you have not had the pain of infertility you can't know what a blessing it is and how there are those of us that would do anything to have a baby and would give up anything to have that baby. To me, you seem like a very selfish person who puts vanity above the potential health of a child. It seems staying "skinny" and running high mileage is more important to you than taking care of your child. I think it is fine to run through your pregnancy and be active; I ran through my first pregnancy. But, running 13 miles a day plus biking, swimming, and dieting is not healthy. Do a search on pregorexia and you may find a description of your tendencies. I can't believe you and your husband are both physicians and so blatantly suffering from confirmation bias in your thoughts on exercise during pregnancy. Perhaps your recent miscarriage will make you think twice about the value of life and appreciate that some things are more important than your vanity. And, make your husband consider whether a woman that is willing to take risks with the health of her child to maintain a workout regimen and limited weight gain is worthy enough to be a mother. You may have gotten lucky once, but I believe your luck has run out."
SLG--as someone who struggled to get pregnant and would do anything to have a baby, your comments are abrasive. You seem to take pregnancy for granted.
I would never take pregnancy for granted. If it is desired by a woman or parents, it is a miracle, and is often a miracle when it is not desired (some might say it is always a miracle but that we humans don't always understand the nature of the miracle - another discussion entirely). I grew up thinking I would not be able to get pregnant as I had very infrequent periods and went 6 years without a period. I was very open to the idea of adoption. Though when I became pregnant, it was absolutely a dream come true. I would love to have a healthy pregnancy again and will do what is within my powers to make it happen. (I'm actually late for my period again - did I just announce that on my blog?)
And, I guess, since you have not had the pain of infertility you can't know what a blessing it is and how there are those of us that would do anything to have a baby and would give up anything to have that baby.
Again, it was a shock to get pregnant after two months and it is true that I have not experienced trying for a long time without success. Every woman's reaction to it must be different and I would never want to underestimate how heartbreaking it is. I have had people very close to me who have not been able to get pregnant and I know how devastating it can be.
To me, you seem like a very selfish person who puts vanity above the potential health of a child.
I am sorry I come off this way. I love my son and my two step kids and believe the health of all of us is very important. I am so vain, though. I probably think this blog is about me. Oh, it is. I love me. And why shouldn't I? There is plenty of room for me to love me, my husband, my kids, family and friends.
It seems staying "skinny" and running high mileage is more important to you than taking care of your child. I think it is fine to run through your pregnancy and be active; I ran through my first pregnancy. But, running 13 miles a day plus biking, swimming, and dieting is not healthy.
You think exactly what you're used to and comfortable wit his "fine", as does every woman. Well, I exercised as much as I did because I had done it before getting pregnant and thus it wasn't outside of any guidelines. I wasn't taking any risks. In fact, I believe my pregnancy was exceptionally healthy as I gained enough weight, stayed fit and ate well. I was in great shape before, better shape after and had a wonderful, healthy pregnancy. I can understand why women who simply listen to what others say would be jealous.
Do a search on pregorexia and you may find a description of your tendencies.
Pregorexia sounds like a word from popular media; it does not require much brain power to figure out what it is. I will refrain from doing that search, thanks. There is a wide range of healthy weight a woman can gain in pregnancy. I gained a sufficient amount of weight in my pregnancy. I was not a pregnant anorexic.
I can't believe you and your husband are both physicians and so blatantly suffering from confirmation bias in your thoughts on exercise during pregnancy. Perhaps your recent miscarriage will make you think twice about the value of life and appreciate that some things are more important than your vanity. And, make your husband consider whether a woman that is willing to take risks with the health of her child to maintain a workout regimen and limited weight gain is worthy enough to be a mother. You may have gotten lucky once, but I believe your luck has run out.
Come on now. Are you suggesting you are happy I had a miscarriage? I actually have tears in my eyes right now as I consider the "abrasive" (if I may borrow the word you used to describe me) nature of your comment. Every woman who has a miscarriage deals with guilt, wondering if she could have done something differently. I highly doubt that you have done more research on this subject that I have. Women who run actually nearly cut their risk of miscarriage in half. I actually had a miscarriage (or fetal demise) before I knew I was pregnant, so, happily, I don't feel guilty about it, since I didn't know about it in time to have done anything wrong.
Oh, and the confirmation bias. I have a boatload of studies compiled by the Danish Ministry of Health showing how healthy all kinds of exercise in pregnancy is (with the possible exception of horseback riding and high-impact ball sports). I also have an entire book written on the subject I could translate for you. YOU come forward with YOUR studies that prove that exercise is harmful and then we can begin a productive discussion. There is a lack of studies on endurance/high level athletes who continue to train during pregnancy and thus decisions must be based on extrapolation, case studies and good clinical judgement. Weight gain studies, as I have previously discussed ad nauseum, are extremely difficult to analyze because women who are pregnant with unhealthy babies also tend to gain less, so it makes research in that area very challenging and the results very difficult to interpret.
I guess it is convenient for you to be able to write this comment and run away without a name or blog attached to you. It would be nice to have a discussion where both parties are held equally accountable for their comments ...
18 comments:
Hello, SLG. I am confident you will receive a flood of messages from people truly appalled at the hostile tone of the comment you received. As an attorney, I believe any argument that descends into name-calling and that doesn't marshal evidence to support its logic should simply be ignored. If anything, the commenter deserves pity because she is clearly writing much more about herself than about you. While I don't always agree with everything you write on your blog -- and I know you don't expect people to be in constant agreement with you -- I think your willingness to have a productive discussion and to present your perspective on your fitness routine and your life is truly helpful. I'm continually amazed that people interpret any statement about personal preferences as a veiled attack on others who don't choose to adopt the same practices. In sum: kudos to you for writing about such personal and often hurtful topics and fostering a virtual community.

I think part of the problem here is that people tend to read into a blogpost things that aren't really there, based upon their own experiences. One gets a very limited view of someone from their blog; if they stumble upon just one post, they don't get any context, either.
I have someone who reads my blog regularly who seems to absolutely loathe me and everything I do - why that person reads it is inexplicable, yet I sometimes take his/her (anonymous) comments more deeply than I should.
It isn't easy to shrug off negative comments, as there's always some grain of truth in them. You've addressed this admirably.

While there is no excuse for something like your anonymous commenter's words to you, you can perhaps sympathize with why she made them. Her emotional anger and hurt over her own situation run strongly through her comment. She is abraded, and, thus, as you said, abrasive in reaction.
What I just don't get is how people think that you're killing/maiming/injuring your un-born children and your reproductive system through your exercise and eating habits. Yep, you might very well exercise a lot and have a delicate relationship with food (You say things like this freely here.), but do these women not consider how many healthy babies are being born every day in truly desperate conditions in our developing countries? Pregnancy is a robust condition and probably has been for millions of years, since the predecessors of our human species were giving birth as undernourished, highly mobile hunters and gatherers on the African plain.
I hope you're able to shrug off your commenter's abrasiveness and turn it into, if nothing else, a deep sympathy for a hurt woman. In turn, I hope your commenter reads your blog post and realizes that the effects of her comments are only to turn her own pain outwards towards others in an unproductive manner.
Hugs to you, Sealegs!

Here's the bottom line.
It's your blog.
And it's your body.
If someone doesn't agree with you, or like what they're reading.......
they don't have to look at your blog!
You keep making the choices that you feel are right for YOU; and thank you for being brave enough to talk about it with all of us.

This is an emotionally charged issue for women, so it's no wonder that people get pretty worked up. There seems to be no other area of life where people feel more justified in passing judgment than child rearing/pregnancy etc. I can understand being put off by your "vanity," (I will reserve arm-chair psycho-analysis on this for the time being) but that was a mean comment. But, hey, that's the internet fer ya.

I wish that people like that had the balls to attach their names to their comments. That is just so spineless. They hide behind "anonymous." How horrible to suggest that you caused your own miscarriage. How insensitive.

I kinda understand the first part of the comment, where she expresses her opinion about running in pregnancy and stuff, but the last part... "You lost a child and that will teach you!"(because that's what she is saying!)...what kind of a person says something like that?!?
Dear anonymous writer, no matter how hurt, upset, disappointed you are, nobody has right to say things like these to the others. Things by which you only try to really hurt the other person. Please think twice before writing something similar, because it certainly does not help you to feel better, it just really hurts the other person. You should apologize (although I do not expect you would judging you have written something that low and disgusting).

Oh, wow, those are horrible comments for someone to make. It does sound like her comments have more to do with her own struggles surrounding fertility than they do with the choices you make for yourself and your body, although even then, it doesn't give her the right to say things like that. I'm still sorry to see that she chose to vent in an unproductive and incredibly hurtful way. SLG, I hope you don't take her spiteful commentary personally.

That poster is obviously hurting from her own tragedy, and I am sorry for her. I really feel for women who want so badly to have children but can't.
But I also feel very badly that she was so cruel to you. I went through a miscarriage nearly three years ago and thought your posts were thoughtful and interesting. Maybe I didn't agree with everything you said, but hey, it's your body and life, not mine. I'm sorry she was so mean to you.
P.S. never posted here before. I just lurk sometimes. :)
- 25 August 2010 at 23:20
Well, of course the last paragraph that she wrote was just horrible. However, I somewhat agree with her on the fact that you might have some sort of exercise bulemia, and that sometimes it seems your love of running as an experience is far, far less than your desire to lose weight from running. Sometimes I think you're not always being healthy- especially a feww comments you mighta made about your step-daughter (sorry!) have worried me.
However, it does not make you a bad person and it's relateable. It's your blog. I feel bad for the commenter because she is going through some shit and taking it out on you. That sucks man.
Your miscarriage was unrelated to your exercise so just ignore it. But, I will echo another comment I've written before as an anon - see a nutritionist who works with distance runners. I just think it would be healthy to get proper nutrition and maybe worry about your weight less. You've posted about your eating disorder in the past, I've struggled with one too, and though I think you did just fine nutritionally with your first adorable kiddo, I do know those thoughts that make EDs so all-consuming never entirely disappear. So take care of yourself lady!

I'm a firm believer of "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." My jaw dropped when I saw this comment.
Besides....Nature always has a way of making things turn out. Isn't infertility one of the first things to happen if you exercise too much or don't eat enough (to the point of unhealthy)? So if you're healthy enough to conceive, and keep up the same regimen, doesn't that mean your eating and exercising habits are well enough to grow a healthy baby? People are always afraid of things with which they have little experience.
Sorry you got such a rude comment. I'm supporting you...even if it is from 5,000 miles away. :)

Boy do I get steamed when people tell fit, exercising, healthy pregnant women that they are selfish and vain.
Sea Legs' blog was a lifeline to me in my pregnancy. It was great to see someone exercising - even racing - during pregnancy, not gaining tons of weight, and hacing a perfectly healthy baby. And you know what? I did the same thing. I subscribed to the SLG School of healthy pregnancy, kept my weekly exercise schedule, which included running 25 miles a week and weight training, gained 18 lbs, and delivered a robust healthy baby.
I don't think wanting your body back, or wanting to maintain hard-won fitness goals is anything to get your panties in a bunch about, anonymous.

Hi SLG, I am simply stunned someone would go to so much effort to write that as a comment on another persons blog. She obviously reads your blog a lot though, maybe to fire herself up for her own sad reasons in life, as some do (as Steve alluded to with a reader of his blog). Anyway, her comment gave excellent fodder for another great blog post for you :) Um, of course it seems so far I am the only one to jump on the "(I'm actually late for my period again - did I just announce that on my blog?)", hee hee hee, that would be wonderful so soon after a m/c (when cycles get screwy anyway) so I shall keep my fingers crossed :)

Pregnancy, the last save haven for bullying. Why is it that in every other lifecycle event, bullying is frowned upon, but during pregnancy it's acceptable to browbeat someone? Hm.
Anyhow, this month's runners world has a great double interview with WORLD CLASS MARATHON RUNNERS Kara Goucher and Paula Radcliffe. Both encountered similar nastiness. It's a shame that some people let their own personal tragedies make them incapable of being compassionate and empathetic to others. In contrast to your cowardly, bitter, anonymous poster, some people become much much more humane and sensitive after personal tragedy and try to unite people instead of playing blame games and trying to isolate them.

Last night, I pointed out the Washington Post media writer Erik Wemple's rather odd attempt to defend mainstream coverage of the Planned Parenthood PR and fundraising campaign of the Komen foundation. One of the things he'd said was that Ross Douthat's New York Times column critiquing bad media coverage was "bunk" because you could find good coverage, too. Specifically, he pointed out, this Dallas Morning News story ("which carefully laid out both sides of the dispute"). How carefully, you ask? This carefully. Here's the lede:
The backlash Wednesday was swift and strong — coming by phone, email and every form of social networking.
Women were angry, disappointed and worried that Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a Dallas-based foundation, had withdrawn its funding from Planned Parenthood's nationwide organization.
Yes, that lede carefully lays out both sides of the dispute -- not just the women who were angry at Komen but also the women who were disappointed and worried. It may have gotten better if you read beyond the lede (which few readers do, of course) but it's behind a pay wall now.
Anyway, Wemple's defense of the Dallas Morning News isn't even accepted by a member of that paper's staff. Editorial writer Rodger Jones has a piece headlined "Media's blind spot on abortion, Obama's contraceptive edict and church issues."
He begins by quoting MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe today. He apparently said, "The media has a blind spot on social issues." Former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller might say it's not a blind spot at all but, rather, an intentional bias on moral, cultural and religious issues.
Jones gives six examples of his paper's blind spots, including.
1) There has yet to be any news coverage of Bishop Kevin Farrell's pledge to defy the White House on its HHS mandate.
2) There has been no news coverage of how North Texas Catholics or employees of Catholic institutions think about the HHS mandate.
3) And yet a handful of people who invited the press to their protest at Komen got a front page picture and more inside the paper. But, then again, why didn't the 8,000 marchers in Dallas at the previous month's March for Life get even a single mention in the paper?
4) painting the dispute between HHS and religious liberty as a partisan issue.
A sample:
There has been no news coverage about what North Texas Catholics in the pews or employees of Catholic institutions think. I have no doubt that many workers would welcome free contraceptives, and I wonder how they square that with church teachings. That's a story to approach with sensitivity, and it's worth the trouble by thoughtful journalists.
Catholics in the pews are not hard hard to find. The typical church has several Sunday masses. At some churches they run from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening. There's one to fit any reporter's schedule. The location of the nearest church is just a click away, on the diocesan website's Parish Finder. Put in a ZIP code and take your choice.
Within walking distance of our offices downtown are the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe and, even closer, St. Jude's Chapel on Main Street. Both have noontime masses.
It is easier to wait for the interest groups to call and deliver your points for the story, but Jones is correct that this reporting isn't that difficult either -- even if it does require some knowledge of church teachings and some sensitivity.
In many ways, the coverage we've seen in the last week is a powerful reminder of how important the religious and values beat is to covering a story fully and accurately and with added value.
Wasn't it Chesterton who said "In truth, there are only two kinds of people; those who accept dogma and know it, and those who accept dogma and don't know it." I would argue that if any beat understood the truth of that quote, it would be people who get to talk to those who know they accept dogma every day. This is one of the many reasons why the religion beat is so important. The errors we saw in the last week could be chalked up to a group of people who accept a particular dogma fervently and just had no awareness that their views weren't universal.
Anyway, the last week has also seen wonderful comments here at GetReligion (as well as many kind notes from reporters and others). I wanted to highlight this one from Kris D. that made a great point:
Here is a link to an old NYT Magazine column, "The Ethicist". In it, Randy Cohen states that to support Curves if one is pro-choice is basically an unethical thing to do since your membership dollars support pro-life causes that you don't believe in. Contrast this with the "apolitical" funding of PP by the Komen foundation as the MSM reported it & you really do have to wonder why the media's blindspots aren't recognized. Sauce for the goose apparently isn't sauce for the gander.
Sometimes you can see the dogma you accept and sometimes you need to have it pointed out to you. If reporters know where their blind spots are, they can work to avoid missteps in the future.

The first national census took place in Norway in 1769. Not until 1801, however, was the first nominative census produced. Unfortunately this major breakthrough (few nominative censuses at a national level were produced as early as this) was not repeated until 1865. From then on such censuses became the norm. They also became widespread throughout Europe. Because the civil servants in charge of the national censuses got together on occasion, as well as corresponding with each other, a code of best practice was devised for what questions should appear on the household schedules. Not surprisingly few countries managed to live up to the code in its entirety but, as Table 1 shows, by the period 1860–80, many sought answers to the same questions i.e. surname and first name; sex; age; relationship to head of household; civil status; occupation; religious affiliation; place of birth.
That the same questions were asked obvious helps us undertake comparative studies, with all the advantages they bring. There is, however, another feature of the nominative census schedules which works towards the same end, namely that many of the replies cover a relatively small register. This means that only limited linguistic skill is required in order to read and analyze the returns. For example sex is either male or female: civil status is either single, married, widowed, separated or divorced; relationship to head of household/family is, in the overwhelming majority of cases his/her wife/husband, son, daughter, servant, lodger, father, mother, grandson or granddaughter. Place of birth in most cases again requires but a gazetteer and/or an atlas. Age is reported numerically in years or months and poses no problem so far as reading is concerned: its accuracy is another matter. Religion is also confined to a limited number of alternatives, as is ethnic origin and the ability to read or write. There is, however, one rubric common to all the nominative censuses that does pose linguistic problems, namely occupation.
The core problem encountered when 'reading' the census schedules is the sheer variety of the occupations one encounters. This is compounded - especially in the countryside - by the fact that the same occupation could be - and was - described in several different ways. In the smaller Norwegian towns, like Tromsø, this particular problem does not appear to be so acute. Whether this was due to a genuine difference between urban and rural occupational nomenclature, or was due to the way the enumeration was carried out, is not clear. The fact that the same occupation could be spelled in different ways e.g. skibscaptein, skibskaptein or skomagersvend, skomagersvenn also produces a slight problem. To overcome the above problems a dictionary has been prepared to cover every single variant of occupational description. The scale of the problem is immediately apparent when it is realized that in the relatively small town of Tromsø in 1865 (population 4,073) some 461 occupational variants appeared on the schedules. On close inspection, however, a very high proportion of these are variants of the same occupation.
The head of the household was usually male, hence husfader (house-father) but could be female, in which case husmoder (house-mother) would appear. Sometimes neither husfader nor husmoder was entered.

You have several options here.
– You could use the save form in document feature, but this would mean that you would have to re-open each existing doc and re-save, so that the form could be embedded in the document. Each doc would get larger, as far as disk space is concerned, with a bunch of redundant data. Personally, this is not the route I would take. IMO, it's not what the feature was designed for. BTW, the designer help has some decent information on this.
– You could give your new form a new name.
– You could rename your old form. This would also involve updating the "Form" field on the pre-existing docs (a simple agent could do it).
– You could keep one form and use some "display when" logic to display/hide the old/new field information based on something like created date or the pre-existence of the old field information.
– You could use a form formula in your view(s) to decide which form to use (old or new) based on something like created date.

It was his job to keep you eating.
It was his job to keep you drinking.
It was his job to keep you buying.
Unfortunately for you, he was good at it.
For more than thirty years, Hank Cardello was an executive and adviser to some of the largest food and beverage corporations in the world. For more than thirty years, he watched as corporate profits—and America's waistlines—ballooned: fattening consumers meant fattening profits. Now, in this fascinating and timely book, Cardello offers a behind-the-scenes look at the business of food, providing an insider's account of food company practices, failed government regulations, and misleading media coverage that have combined to place us in the middle of a national obesity epidemic.
With insights culled from Cardello's time in the food industry, Stuffed explores how food companies have spent the last fifty years largely ignoring healthier fare in the name of their bottom lines while pushing consumers toward "convenience" food and supersize portions without considering the health consequences. From grocery aisles to restaurant booths to boardrooms, Cardello reveals the hidden forces that have long shaped your supermarket purchases and menu selections. He examines the black-and-white mindset that has produced the carefully targeted marketing strategies that have maximized profits for the food industry and led to weight gain for you.
But Cardello makes clear that the food companies should not take all the blame. They are merely a cog in a larger system that's broken, and here Cardello illustrates how the government and the media have only made it harder for Americans to make nutritious choices. Highlighting both bit players and high-profile voices of change, Cardello explains the fundamental risks to one-size-fits-all regulatory solutions and the bigger dangers posed by letting the food pundits confuse the health conversation.
More than simply a chronicle of how we got here, Stuffed also puts forth a groundbreaking blueprint for the future of the food industry. In debunking the common myth that "healthier" has to mean higher costs and unpalatable tastes, Cardello provides novel but concrete steps that food companies can take to fatten their profits and slim down their customers. In addition, he stresses the realistic role that consumers must play in America's new health equation, explaining that unless they demand healthier food with their wallets, America will continue to tip the scales for years to come.
Provocative and insightful, Stuffed is a sweeping critique of excessive food consumption in America, one that uncovers the money behind the calories and presents a fresh vision for building health into the lives of ordinary Americans.
Praise For Stuffed: An Insider's Look at Who's (Really) Making America Fat…
"An interesting look into the psychological world of the 'Big Food' business. . . . Stuffed is a great book because it is honest, and Cardello does not mince words when it comes to the reality of our nation's misguided obsession with food."
"Anyone who is interested in their health and thinks they're educated about nutrition needs to read this book."
"Food companies would be more profitable and keep their customers longer if they adopted the ideas in Stuffed."
-Tom Ryan, former Chief Concept Officer of McDonald's Corporation
"Straightforward and sobering. We all know the food industry is big business, but Cardello shows in clear terms just how big it is—with suppliers all over the world—and why this makes it so slow to improve."
-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Thought-provoking...informative and filled with clever ideas, [Stuffed] will certainly get people talking and thinking."
"Former food-industry executive and current anti-obesity advocate Cardello calls on his erstwhile colleagues to become custodians of their customers' well-being. . . . The point zings home: The food industry knows how to sell; now it has to sell the right thing."

Wooden Wonders
This is a new business launching in a few weeks at the Common Ground Country Fair (in Unity, ME-- FMI go to mofga.org). These aren't 'typical' playhouses-- the designs are inspired by favorite childhood fantasy worlds like those from The Hobbit, Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings, etc. The two prototypes I will have on display at the Fair are a Hobbit house and a castle. I hope to attract customers with unique eye-catching designs and draw them in through a sense of nostalgia and with reactions like: "Man, I wish I had one of those when I was a kid!". I'm a carpenter by trade with an artistic eye and am hoping to build a home-based business that provides a more flexible schedule for my growing family and at the same time gives me a creative outlet.
I am located in a rural area, but hope to market to an audience of parents (& grandparents) with a disposable income to match a high end, custom built product that will impress friends and relatives and provide endless hours of entertainment for all the kids in the family or neighborhood for years to come. I have relied on word of mouth and an excellent reputation for quality work for my carpentry business, but need to establish a more 'polished' front for this business since I will be accessing a new market and will need to convey the quality, creativity, and excellent customer service aspects of the business through marketing materials, rather than through customer testimonials-- at least to begin with.
We want a logo that incorporates the business name, Wooden Wonders, that can be used in our marketing materials: brochures, business cards, and, eventually, website, that captures the essence of the business as described above.
There should be a 'natural' feel to it.
Our tagline is: "playhouses inspiring imagination" and we would like that as an optional 'add-on' to the logo.
I want an image that will work as a monochrome image, but also has a full or multi-color version. Greens and browns would compliment a 'natural' theme. I like the look of rune-type fonts. We don't have a particular typeface or color scheme chosen as part of the image branding package, so you'll be helping us establish that as well.
I need vector based image files compatible with the Adobe Creative Suite.

Tapas, exquisite flavours to suit every taste
Spanish cuisine is healthy and delicious. It features a wide variety of products, including the star ingredient: olive oil.
A day spent sampling tapas is an unbeatable way to experience Spanish culture and savour the charms of its bars and taverns. Tapas are an exquisite, varied and choice example of popular gastronomy which allows you to share a variety of dishes and try a wide range of different products. All the tastes of Spain in a single meal, and generally at very reasonable prices.
Forerunners of the long, multi-course menus which are at the vanguard of modern western cuisine, tapas contain a host of products, prepared in any number of styles. This culinary speciality was first enjoyed in the 17th century, and today can include delicacies such as the very finest and juiciest acorn-fed Iberian cured ham, the traditional potato omelette, or exquisite seafood, and even miniature haute cuisine specialities prepared in tiny quantities in the form of tapas.
In every town and city in Spain there are bars and taverns –sometimes even whole neighbourhoods– specialising in tapas. The fare available in these privileged establishments may include chorizo sausage, black pudding, delicacies in escabeche marinade, assorted smoked foods, cheeses, fish in brine, anchovies, croquettes, fried breadcrumbs and a wide range of specialities, at times with over a hundred varieties to choose from.
Another advantage of eating tapas is that they enable you to sample a different selection of local dishes in each region of Spain. These delicious combinations of miniature culinary delights cater to all tastes and budgets.
Typical dishes and avant-garde cuisine
Tapas are also served in a wide variety of presentations. Pinchos (individual portions), banderillas (brochettes), montaditos (canapés), cazuelitas (mini-casseroles) are just a few of the different names given to the various ways of serving tapas, ranging from the most basic –simply served on a cocktail stick– through to the most sophisticated presentations in individual dishes with several garnishes and sauces to give character. This last method is the usual way of offering customers samples of the typical dishes from the different Spanish regions, and is a chance to sample such famous dishes as the Valencian paella, the bean stew known as fabada from Asturias, tripe à la madrileña, and an assortment of delicious fish prepared in a range of different ways.
Even modern cuisine has borrowed from this gastronomic trend, and offers tapas which still conserve their traditional origins, but are reinterpreted with an innovative twist. Sorbet of potato omelette, casserole with goose liver, chickpeas with langoustines, and gazpacho with lobster are just a few examples of the tapas created by great cooks which have subsequently found popularity with a wider public.
To accompany your tapas, the ideal drinks are beer, soft drinks and vermouth, white and red wines, as well as special wines such as cavas, and fino and manzanilla sherries. And in any tavern or bar in Spain, you're always assured of the friendly advice of the waiter to recommend the best way to enjoy the flavour of each tapa to the maximum and to make the most of this gastronomic treat.

The very warm growing season this year has pushed the 2012 corn crop very rapidly toward maturity. Corn harvest has begun in many areas of south-central and southwest Minnesota. The corn moisture content is in the 20-25% range on early-planted corn, which is more typical of early October conditions. Corn yields in 2012 are expected to be quite variable across southern Minnesota, depending on timely rainfalls, soil types, planting date and corn hybrids. So far, the early corn yields in many areas have been pleasantly surprising, considering the extremely dry conditions that existed throughout most of July and August across the region.
While some of the early reported corn yields have been better than expected, there will likely be a wide variation in corn yields in south-central and southwest Minnesota by the end of harvest. Areas that received less rainfall and have lighter soil types are expected to have lower yields. Some areas of northern Iowa that received very limited amounts of rainfall are reporting early corn yields in the 80-125-bu./acre range. Corn yields are expected to be stronger and more consistent in areas of southeastern and central Minnesota that received more timely rainfalls during the growing season.
Much of the corn in southern Minnesota has now reached physiological maturity (black layer) and has begun to dry down in the field. Corn is usually at 30-32% moisture when it reaches back layer, and ideally growers like to see corn dried down in the field to 20-22% moisture, or lower, before harvest. This greatly saves on corn drying costs, and improves the quality of the corn being harvested and going into storage. Corn is usually dried down to a final moisture content of 15-16% moisture for safe storage until the following summer. Corn will dry about 0.50%/day naturally at an average daily temperature of 60° F, which increases at temperature levels that have existed in early September. At Waseca, Minn., the normal daily average air temperature in September is above 60°, but that drops to about 48° during October.
Due to the very warm, dry weather during the last half of the 2012 growing season, along with the rapid maturing process of the corn crop, there has been some concern for the potential of low test weights with the 2012 corn crop. The standard test weight for corn is 56 lbs./bu. Thus far, corn test weights have not been an issue during the early portions of corn harvest in the region, with most test weights being reported at 55-58 lbs. This could change as we get further into to the harvest season.
Another concern with the 2012 corn crop in some areas is stalk quality and strength. Some corn has damaged by strong winds and hail earlier in the growing season, which has lead to weaker stalks and late-season development of stalk rots. Some agronomists also feel that the very warm growing season, which caused the corn to mature quicker than normal, may have also lead to weakening of stalks in some hybrids across the region. Growers in affected areas should be monitoring their fields for potential problems, and adjusting their 2012 harvest schedule accordingly.
The 2012 soybean crop is also maturing rapidly in most areas, with most soybeans now turning color and dropping leaves. Full-scale soybean harvest is likely to be initiated in many parts of southern Minnesota by Sept. 15-20. Soybean yields are also expected to be highly variable across southern Minnesota, again with a bit more consistent yields in southeastern and central portions of the state, due to more frequent rainfall during most of the 2012 growing season.
Safety First
As we enter full-scale fall harvest for the 2012 growing season, it is a good time for farm families to review the farm safety procedures for their operation. More farm accidents occur during the fall than at any other time of the year, and usually involve one or more family members. Special care should be taken with children and senior citizens around farm and grain handling equipment, as these groups are the most vulnerable to farm accidents.
The non-farm public also needs to pay extra attention when driving on rural roads during harvest season, especially before and after work or school. Farm vehicles are larger and move much slower than cars, and the autumn sun is usually in a bad position during the times of heaviest traffic in the mornings and late afternoon on rural roads throughout the fall season. The best advice is to slow down, pay attention and stay off the cell phones while driving.

The Baltimore Sun
At least they brought some energy to the Ravens telecast. Give Bill Macatee and Steve Tasker that Sunday.
It could have been worse – much worse. CBS Sports could have used Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf to cover Sunday's game in the rain in Cleveland against the Browns. And I would have been asleep five minutes into the first quarter.
Some intensity from a CBS broadcast team in the booth was nice for a change.
But let's not get carried away. It was still another sloppy, lazy telecast with little co-ordination between the team in the broadcast booth and the crew in the production truck.
And the more I watch the Ravens on CBS Sports, the more I wonder why no one in management is kicking these NFL producers and broadcast teams in the butt and telling them mediocre is not good enough. It's a privilege to cover the NFL – especially in a media environment in which jobs are disappearing every day – so why aren't the folks at CBS Sports motivated enough to try and be as good as NBC on Sunday nights or the NFL Network on Thursdays? Really, come on.
I grew up in Wisconsin in the 1960s watching Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers on CBS. As I type these words, I can still hear Ray Scott's voice in my ear. Because of that history and the mystic chords of Sunday-afternoon NFL-football memory still inside my head, I come to the tube pre-disposed to love CBS Sports coverage. All the crew has to do is show a little competence, energy and commitment.
Instead, what I see before the game even starts is play-by-play announcer Macatee talking about "coach John Harbaugh over on the Ravens sideline," as the camera shows us Cleveland Browns coach Pat Schurmur standing on the opposite sideline looking on. And while you would think the producer or director (or someone in the bloody truck) would notice and instantly cut to the correct sideline and shot of Harbaugh, no, no, no, no, no -- the camera just sits there.
Earth to production truck, is anyone awake in there?
It happened again in the third quarter. Tasker, the analyst, was explaining that the Browns were playing without Scott Fujita on defense. As he explained that "number 56," Maiaiva Kaluka, was "starting in his place," the camera showed viewers Titus Brown, number 59.
Keeping the cameras, and thus, what viewers see, in synch with the words of the play-by-play announcer and analyst is TV Sports Production 101. It is as basic as it gets, and CBS Sports gets it wrong way too often.
And there is no excuse for Tasker telling viewers that Billy Cundiff kicked a "field goal" that "nicked off" the upright and went "through" for three points – when it was actually an extra point that hit the right upright and went through. All he had to do was look at the score at the time, which showed the Ravens with seven points in the game that they would ultimately win in a walk 24-10.
And again, I heard no correction. Usually, someone in the truck corrects the announcer instantly – who then corrects himself or herself on air.
What is really maddening is the lack of enterprise and original research from these broadcasters. Just like Gumbel and Dierdorf, the only kind of backstage or inside information that Macatee and Tasker shared with viewers Sunday came from the coaches or the players. Is it in the contract between CBS and the league that announcers can only get and use information from the teams?
I hear announcers on other networks and cable channels talking about pieces they read in newspapers or online. The best announcers constantly cite articles, items, blogs, tweets and Facebook postings from a variety of player and pundit print, video and online venues.
But never on Sunday on CBS. It's always, "Coach Harbaugh told us last night that he thought …" Or, "Coach Schurmur said to watch for…."
Really guys, there is no need to let the NFL own your brains and voices. Honest. The network won't lose broadcast rights just because you did some honest-to-god homework and found some information that wasn't offered and vetted through the league, a coach or a team spokesperson.
In honor of the CBS Sports that I grew up with, I am going to try and find something nice to say before I end this review.
The best thing Macatee did all day was keep viewers up to date on the mounting yardage total for Ray Rice. That is the kind of thing that is appreciated by viewers, especially when it seems as if the runner might be approaching a personal best. I appreciated it.
The best thing Tasker did? Well, there was the energy in the opening when he seemed like he was really interested in the game that was about to start – unlike Dierdorf who just can't seem to get it up for any game with the Ravens this year.
Yeah, maybe I should end it right there – and just be grateful that it wasn't Gumbel and Dierdorf.

Widow of Egyptian protester expects no solace from Mubarak verdict
Soha Sayed has no delusions that Saturday's expected verdict for deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will bring her any solace or her dead husband any justice. The days of rejoicing about democracy and justice have long passed, she said.
She watched every minute of the trial as the once-feared leader appeared in a court cage, as defendants do here, lying pitifully on a stretcher. She was moved once as he, his former minister of interior and six others were charged with killing protesters like her husband and injuring thousands of others during the uprising that ended the regime, specifically between Jan. 25 and Jan. 31, 2011.
Last week, she voted for Hamdeen Sabahi, branded by Egyptians as the revolutionary candidate, in Egypt's first presidential election, only to learn that Mubarak's last prime minister won a spot in next month's runoff instead.
For Sayed, that marked the latest in a series of disappointments that have diluted hopes that once drove her and her husband to rise up a year ago. At stake in Mubarak's verdict is not just the fate of the president but the state of a revolution that has been thrown into tumult after a series of losses. The election that some protesters died for led to a runoff between the two established factions here – the Muslim Brotherhood and a regime remnant. That Mubarak and his co-defendants also could be acquitted, or receive light sentences, raises fears among revolutionaries that their march in Tahrir Square already has seen its apex.
Mubarak's fate rests in a court system he created over his 30-year rule, Sayed said. The top prosecutor was a Mubarak appointee, said Khalid Abu Bakr, a lead lawyer for the victims. And nearly 30 police commanders have been acquitted of the killing of protesters, leaving some to believe that if the courts could not convict them, then Mubarak will be acquitted as well.
Only five low-level police officers have been convicted so far. They were sentenced last week. Eleven others received suspended one-year sentences. One officer was convicted in absentia after fleeing from charges.
Many Egyptians believe Mubarak, 84, has suffered enough, saying the trial was gratuitous for an elder statesman who once was the face of the state. For them, his rule offered more stability than the revolutionaries.
Sayed, 43, said she struggles every day over whether her husband died in vain. That Mubarak's last prime minister, Ahmed Shafik, could be the next president, democratically elected no less, only reaffirms her fears.
"If Shafik wins, he died for nothing," she said and quietly wept before regaining her composure. "But I will keep fighting. I want the world to know what he died for."
Sayed's husband was an accidental revolutionary. She was the one who talked politics and kept the family glued to the images on television as Egyptians took to the streets. Her husband, Osama, 44, was never politically active, but the swelling crowds compelled him to leave home on Jan. 28, 2011, and head toward nearby Giza Square, one of many protest sites. He last called home at 5:30 p.m. According to hospital records, he arrived at 6 p.m. By 11 p.m., his body was in the morgue.
She would not learn his fate until the next morning when he didn't come home and a stranger answered his cell phone. He had been shot, the man said, but don't worry, he is OK. She and her three children rushed to the hospital and searched for hours before finally going to the morgue. He had been shot in the back, his liver ruptured. Pellet wounds covered the soles of his feet.
"They kept shooting him even after he was dead," she said.
She followed the trial as closely as the nearly 200 attorneys who represented the victims against the defendants. The 10-month-long trial included more than 40,000 documents, according to the attorney Abu Bakr. Sayed has studied the evidence presented at trial and conceded the prosecution did not present a strong case. So do the attorneys. The case against Mubarak's sons, Gamel and Alaa, is particularly weak, Abu Bakr said.
Both Mubarak and Habib al-Adly, his minister of interior, have denied issuing orders, calling the shootings the work of rogue state security services. The prosecution never proved that Mubarak or Adly ordered the killing of protesters. One of the victims' attorneys, Amir Salem, explained that it was difficult to obtain evidence from a police state.
"How can I get a record of what they said to each other?" Salem asked. "But they were the only ones under the constitution allowed to give such an order. They are responsible. The police acted on their own? Who gave them live ammunition?"
Sayed offers a simple argument for conviction: "The world saw what happened. No one could do anything in this country without Mubarak knowing."
Mubarak and his co-defendants also face charges of accepting bribes and gifts from a developer for projects in Sharm el Sheikh, as well as a series of corruption charges. The prosecution, according to the victims' lawyers, did a better job of proving those parts of their case against the regime. But Salim believes the state purposely gave the prosecution more evidence.
"Corruption is easier to prove, and they know we have to find Mubarak guilty of something," Salim said.
Although the killing charges carry a maximum death penalty, Sayed expects Mubarak to receive a light sentence for financial crimes and that the case will be mired in appeals. She is also prepared for the judge to delay the verdict at the last minute amid heightened political tensions. The nation is bracing for violent protests in reaction to the verdict.
Sayed said that regardless of the outcome, she would keep fighting for the goals of the revolution. Salem, meanwhile, said he has decided that Saturday's verdict does not matter anymore.
"For me we already got the verdict because he was in the cage," Salem said. "For me, it's done."
