A Must-Make Recipe: Dorie Greenspan's Thanksgiving Twofer Pie
Don't you just love a twofer?
Dorie Greenspan's Thanksgiving Twofer Pie
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie
Printable recipe.
This recipe is from Dorie Greenspan's cookbook Baking: From My Home to Yours.
You can serve this pie warm or at room temperature, though I prefer it chilled. And don't forget the freshly whipped cream.
1 Good For Almost Everything Pie Dough: See Dorie's recipe here.
For the pumpkin filling:
1 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin purée
2/3 cup heavy cream
½ cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons dark rum
½ teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
For the pecan filling:
½ cup corn syrup
¼ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1½ cups (about 7 ounces) pecan halves
1. Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Put the pie plate on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. To make the pumpkin filling: Put all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse and process, scrapping down the sides of the bowl as needed, for 2 minutes. Leave the tilling the processor for the moment.
3. To make the pecan filling: in a medium bowl, with a whisk, beat all of the ingredients except the pecans together until smooth.
4. To assemble: Give the pumpkin filling one last quick pulse, then remove the bowl from the machine, rap it on the counter to de-bubble the batter and put the filling into the piecrust. Top the pumpkin filling evenly with the nuts, then pour over the pecan filling mixture. Use your finger to poke down any pecans that float to the top and aren't covered with filling.
5. Bake the pie for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F and bake for another 35-40 minutes, or until it is evenly puffed and a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the pie to a cooling rack and let it stand until it is just warm or until it reaches room temperature.

Great post! I'm looking to make some changes in my own eating habits and learning to cook, so I appreciate your insight a lot! Thank you. I recently stumbled upon this blog like I did yours and I thought your readers may appreciate it: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/food-for-thought/
I've started to look for blog help more regularly and I think I'm going to add your blog to my list as well. Thanks for the post!

I adore LOVE fantasize and generally LUST after Pecan Pie. Pumpkin ..... not so much. It's like the geeky neighbor kid who you have to dance with because your mother tells you to be nice, but really you're just counting the minutes till you can make a reasonable break for it and go talk to the hottie across the room. That's what Pumpkin vs Pecan Pie is like in my head. Only this pie might turn things around. Like the geeky kid got taller, lost the bottle thick glasses and baby fat, and suddenly started to look.... well... Realy Good. This might be the beginning of something wonderful and unexpected. Hmm...... I do see my contribution to the Thanksgiving dessert table here.

Dorie Greenspan is brilliant. Her recipes work and the food is delicious. Saw this on your blog, pulled out my cookbook and made it for Thanksgiving. It was perfect. Thanks for the suggestion.

One Direction star Harry Styles has laughed off rumors suggesting he's dating British model Cara Delevingne.
The pop hunk was romantically linked to the catwalk beauty earlier this month and he fuelled reports of a blossoming romance by taking a front row seat at the Burberry show during London Fashion Week for Delevingne's runway strut on Monday.
However, Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend has dismissed the claims after he was quizzed about the relationship prior to the catwalk showcase.
When asked by an MTV UK reporter, "Are you looking forward to seeing your girl Cara walking down the runway?", Styles quickly replied, "She's not my girl! I know what you're doing."

And that's the difference between Uncle Bob's first famine and today. Then, the poor buggers stayed in place and died. Today, they've sold their emaciated goats for a 2G phone and a bus ticket to Libya.
And the proximate reason for the crisis is not climate change, MMGW or fossil fuels, but improved health care and greater global prosperity which have overtaken Africa's endogenous ability to manage itself. As Der Spiegel describes;
"Since the massive famine that struck Ethiopia in 1984-85, the country's population has swollen from 41 million to 102 million. One-third of the population is already considered to be malnourished today: There simply isn't enough to go around in many parts of the country. Much of that situation is attributable to the country's antiquated system of subsistence farming. Millions of small farmers are incapable of yielding larger harvests because of their inability to access investment capital, equipment, fertilisers and high-quality seeds. In addition, their property belongs to the state, meaning they can cultivate it, but are unable to use it as collateral on any potential loans. They thus slave away just as in biblical times, using hoes, oxen and wooden ploughs to till low-yield soil."In a quote that proves that Malthus should be compulsory learning throughout Africa, an Ethiopian local government official said "We are simply too many people - People are starving because we have run out of everything -- water, grain reserves, livestock feed." It is not a problem restricted to the Horn of Africa; South Africans are suffering under the effects of an explosion in food prices that could see many more poor white South Africans queueing to leave.
You'd think the Guardian would be leading with this story - but there's nothing but a stony silence from our Stalinist luvvies. As when they managed to ignore the Holodomor - it took the Times to break that story.

As you know, traditional linking of object code is no longer necessary in .NET. A .NET program will usually consist of multiple parts. A typical .NET application consists of an executable assembly, a few assemblies in the program directory, and a few assemblies in the global assembly cache. When the program is run, the runtime combines all these parts to a program. Linking at compile time is no longer necessary.
But sometimes, it is nevertheless useful to combine all parts a program needs to execute into a single assembly. For example, you might want to simplify the deployment of your application by combining the program, all required libraries, and all resources, into a single .exe file.
If all parts of your program are written by yourself in the same language, you can obviously just add all source files to a single project. The result will be a single DLL or EXE containing all dependencies.
csc /target:winexe /out:Program.exe
MainProgram.cs ClassLibrary1.cs ClassLibrary2.cs
However, if your program is written in multiple languages or if you are using binary third party libraries, you are out of luck.
The .NET compilers already contain options for exactly this. If you compile a project, there is an option to create a module, which is similar to an assembly but without a manifest file. You can then use the al.exe tool to combine some of these modules to a single assembly. This feature makes it possible to create a single assembly that contains multiple languages.
First, you would compile the program and the class libraries to netmodules using the module target. Then you can use the assembly linker al.exe to combine these modules to a single assembly.
csc /target:module /out:ClassLibrary1.netmodule ClassLibrary1.cs
vbc /target:module /out:ClassLibrary2.netmodule ClassLibrary2.vb
vbc /target:module /out:Program.netmodule Program.vb
al /target:winexe /out:Program.exe ClassLibrary1.netmodule
ClassLibrary2.netmodule Program.netmodule
But unfortunately, this method only works if you have all the required parts of your program either as source code or as .NET modules. If you are useing a third party class library in assembly form, you are again out of luck.
Since a .NET module is basically just an assembly without an assembly manifest, it should be possible to convert an assembly to a .NET module, at least that is what I thought. When researching this on Google, I found a tremendously useful tool on Microsoft research called ILMerge. This little gem makes it possible to link multiple assemblies to a single one.
First, you would compile your libraries to DLLs and your program to an EXE referencing the DLLs. This is exactly what Visual Studio would do if you had multiple libraries and a program referencing these libraries, so there is no need to do this on the command line.
csc /target:library /out:ClassLibrary1.dll ClassLibrary1.cs
vbc /target:library /out:ClassLibrary2.dll ClassLibrary2.vb
vbc /target:winexe /out:Program.exe
/reference:ClassLibrary1.dll,ClassLibrary2.dll Program.vb
This will produce a normal .exe that requires the two DLLs in the program directory or in the global assembly cache to run.
Now you can link these parts to a single self-contained EXE, using ILMerge:
ilmerge /target:winexe /out:SelfContainedProgram.exe
Program.exe ClassLibrary1.dll ClassLibrary2.dll
The nice thing about this is that you can also merge third party assemblies like commercial class libraries into your program. And you do not have to modify your build process. All you have to do is to merge the assemblies to a single EXE before deploying.
I found ILMerge tremendously useful, and I think that something like this should be a part of the .NET framework SDK. Maybe just enhance al.exe so that it can also link DLLs.
I have only scratched the surface of the .NET build process and the capabilities of ILMerge, and this article might contain many inaccuracies or even errors. But I found ilmerge.exe so useful that I just had to write about it.
This article has no explicit license attached to it but may contain usage terms in the article text or the download files themselves. If in doubt please contact the author via the discussion board below.
A list of licenses authors might use can be found here

Through new modes of production and distribution that respect the environment and offer healthy milk, he positions dairy producers as wellness partners and reconnects them with consumers.
Simon Houriez is establishing a common ground for learning for both deaf and hearing members of society, and by doing so, is fostering equal citizenship. He refuses to admit that for the deaf to be educated and recognized in French society they must adjust to the communication paradigms and the education system of the hearing.
Contrary to many other parts of the world, such as the U.S., deaf people are highly excluded from French society and are often considered a burden. François Goudenove is changing this mindset. François is pioneering a society in which deaf people are full citizens, prejudices among the hearing towards the deaf have disappeared, and what was once considered a disability is an asset.
John Paul Maunes is bringing to light the issue of sexual abuse among the Deaf community in the Philippines and using it to mobilize stakeholders across the law enforcement and social welfare spheres to institute new inclusive measures for the broader inclusion of the Deaf.
Gilles Reydellet is making public services accessible to all, especially those geographically and socially excluded. Each year, his national network of highly effective platforms empowers 300,000 citizens to access and navigate their entitled services and rights. Gilles has also successfully engaged the government and public service companies by addressing the needs of their customers, and thereby, fulfilled their duty of equitable service.
Laurindo is creating replicable online communities that enable LGBT and HIV-positive youth to connect and collaborate with community organizations, service providers, government institutions – and one another – to accelerate the movement for gay rights and sexual health in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Guillaume Bapst is revolutionizing the way low income households access and purchase food. In an attempt to improve the food distribution system in France, where access is often slow and bureaucratic, choices are limited, and quality and nutritional value are low, Guillaume has built a network of solidarity grocery shops.
Mariana Incarnato envisions a society where young people see themselves as positive contributors. Focusing on cultivating their confidence and skills with a range of coaches, mentors and company employers, Mariana is helping them transition successfully to adulthood.

S2E1: It's A Lifestyle - Heal Thy Body
Welcome to Season 2 of It's A Lifestyle with Miss Inspiration. Tanisha explains how her message "It's A Lifestyle" came about 6 years ago. What started as a weight loss journey, she realized turned into an opportunity for God to use her to help others in devising their own healthier lifestyle. For Tanisha it meant losing over 100 pounds because she was over 350 pounds, but for others it means reversing diabetes, high blood pressure, and other illnesses. Then to take it a step deeper, she realized when God released those amazing fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices throughout the world, He was intentional for us to be healthy and to connect with Him deeper (Genesis 1:29). This is not about a diet, but a lifestyle. Continue to stay connected as Tanisha takes us deeper into what #ItsALifestyle really means. #MissInspiration #TanishaShanee #HealThyBody #ItsALifestyle Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Ep 22: Be Available This Season
Many times we make decisions and come with our own plans and think, "well, I showed up." But, my question is did you make yourself available to be used? Did you open the doors for God to come in and shift your thinking or message or pathway to be used for His glory? Be available everyday and see what God has in store for you. #MissInspiration #ItsALifestyle Follow on IG @TanishaShanee

Ep 21: Don't pimp God's Gift
Tanisha Shanee inspires us to use God's gift the way He truly intends with the mindset of those that are going to receive it, not by what you are going to receive for it. If you are a songwriter or writer in general, the music or book should be written with the intentions of helping or healing someone, not based on how many people will buy it. We have to do it the way God intends for it because there is someone somewhere ready to receive it. #MissInspiration TanishaShanee.com

Ep 20: Dream Killer - You?
Ep 20: Are you your own dream killer? Tanisha Shanee discusses dream killers and many times they are friends, relatives, and social impressions that deter us from living out our God given dream. But, today Miss Inspiration discusses how we can be our own dream killer before we even get to the family and friends. We think of every reason why it won't work out and why it is too impossible. Books aren't written because the thought, "nobody will read this crap" creeps in. Or the greatest one, "I'll get to it later," but knowing the intentions aren't really there. Listen in and gain some insight on the dream killer. Make sure you listen carefully to this God inspired message.

Ep 19: Goodbye Dream Killer
Ep 19: Say goodbye to your dream killers because they can't kill what God needs for us to do. A dream killer can be a friend, boss, family member, or stranger used by the enemy to abort God's plan. They don't want to see you move forward, but I'm here to encourage you otherwise because His plan must live on. We all have purpose and it must be carried out. Don't listen to those Dream Killers. They see and know the anointing on your life, so see it in yourself. Visit TanishaShanee.com and leave a comment or message! #ItsALifestyle #TanishaShanee #MissInspiration

Tanisha Shanee shares an encouraging word for those that maybe in a space where they don't feel they're doing too great, but guess what? Someone out there still sees the shine in you. You haven't lost the fire or spark, but it needs to be a time for you to pull yourself up and out and start producing. Someone is waiting for you and some people are ready to work with you. Purpose is apart of your lifestyle. Start pushing yourself out the mess and continue to shine brighter. #BeInspired #MissInspiration Tanishashanee.com email@example.com

Ep 14: To Accept Love Or Not?
This is a two part episode and I pray it opens your heart. I am transparent about not being prepared for the love God sent into my life and I broke my own heart because I couldn't accept I deserved it. Now, I know I am not alone. But, I have asked God to forgive me because I hurt me, but someone else. Love is a beautiful thing, but I learned you have to get out your own way and heal before you can receive that love...

Stress. We can say so much about it. It has caused many illnesses and even deaths. At 22, I suffered from a mild stroke and from then I learned to stressing about things I had no control over is not and will not take my life.

Ep 10: The Past - Let Go!
Many of us may suffer with holding onto the past and constantly falling in love with it. The past is over and for some, you're missing out on the present because you keep looking to the past. Well, I am here to tell you let go - old relationship, jobs, friendships, lifestyle habits. Don't lose precious time rehashing on them. Embrace the present and look to the future. TanishaShanee.com

Ep 9: From Intern To Purpose
Now as a motivational/inspirational speaker and author, I've realized I am in purpose, but a lot of what I learned did not come from a course or a job I had, but from my foundation - my internships. Now, at 15 years old, I entered the music industry at Roc A Fella Records and then I went to Interscope Records. There I learned all about public relations and basically how to help get someone's brand in front of people. While I didn't go on to become a Publicist, fast forward to now. How did I get into Cosmopolitan, Eating Well Magazine? I tapped into my Internship Knowledge Vault. All that information I obtained was for great use now! It saved me thousands of dollars and helped me to get my store out to those that needed to hear it. Parents, educational leaders - I encourage you to have that conversation with the youth because they never know how it will benefit them later in life.

Ep 8: Dr King "Keep moving"
Today we celebrate the life of Dr King and one of his quotes really touched me years ago - "If you can't fly, then run... If you can't run, then walk... If you can't walk, then crawl, but by all means, keep moving." So many of us looked up to Dr King, but are we applying the principles he left for us? I know as a speaker, author, and inspiration, I do seek to do just that because I know it can and will help someone later in life. Keep moving, just don't stop! TanishaShanee.com

Crochet rocks!
In the interests of spreading the crochet love (and because I was asked!), I have started teaching crochet for beginners at one of Sydney's lovely yarn (and fabric) stores, Calico & Ivy, in Balmain. I did my first series in February/March, and I am teaching again in May/June, as well as doing a crochet clinic for specific issues.
I worked up some samples for the shop, which I also use as the basis for the classes too, all in Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, which of course the shop stocks, in a really nice range of colours.
First up, I made some granny square blocks - all with the same basic granny pattern but showing different uses of colours (shame about the terrible photo! sorry).
great flickr group dedicated to the African Flower, it is full of inspiration.
If you are in the area and looking to learn to crochet (or you can crochet and have a specific issue you need help with), give the shop a call! I am doing a weekday and weekend series of classes, both starting in mid-May.
And don't forget, Crochet Rocks!

I think the crochet hate thing is bizarre. It's kind of painful really. There are, as you have shown, some great things you can make. Love the blocks, love the cushion!
I remember moving aside from crochet ten years ago because knitting seemed to have a lot patterns available - ten years ago I just couldn't find many crochet patterns I liked.
How the world has changed!

your crochet always leaves me awestruck. unlike some of the hideousness that we see in glass cabinets in shows. thats pretty much where the bad rep comes from, and we cant deny its hideousness. but these are beautiful, as is your babette. if i ever wanted to learn the craft that can not be named, i would have you teach me it. im so glad you're getting more work out of it.

Crocheters represent! Also, I think I may be in love with you and your teaching the crochet love ways! I have never understood the hatred. And yes, I would go so far as to say hate - some of the things knitters have said to me!
I'm glad you're enjoying teaching it, and at Calico and Ivy - what a great store! I have loved the classes I've done at Brown Owls, and I've only been defeated once, by a lefthander who just didn't click with it. It was almost as if her brain and crochet just didn't mesh. But other lefthanders I've taught just fine. Go figure.

The only downside of crocheting for me is I can't crochet and read or watch TV. I have to look where the hook goes in every time. I can knit and not look. Well done, I love your green cushion and the blocks too!!

I love some crochet, but Kylie is right - the hideous representations give it a bad reputation. I could so do an afghan (in wool) - any ideas for cool patterns? I'm thinking of getting rid of some of the less appealing worsted weights that I have around (maybe with some BWM to pad them out...)

I admire people who do all those intricate crochet patterns and how they turn out so fabulously. I tend to be able to do crochet sometimes, and then promptly forget how I did it for the next time around!

- MadMad said...
Oh, that is such exciting news - it is fun to get out of the house a bit and be doing something you love, to boot, isn't it? Good for you - hope you're loving it as much as I do!

- kgirl said...
go you, giving classes!!
that's some lovely crochet you've got going on there, too.
I think crochet has really started to surpass it's cringe-days, don't you? Some of the projects on Ravelry are STUNNING

- Donna Lee said...
I learned to crochet long before I taught myself to knit. I don't understand the animosity (but I hear it). In our "knitting" group, there are far more crocheters than knitters. A lot of folks are afraid of more than one implement and choose the single hook over the double (or 3 or 4 or 5!) needles.
Both have their place and I enjoy both.

As you know I am a bit addicted to crochet and as an avid knitter I had to come to terms with that. I think it was the really horrid acrylic granny blankets my Grandmother used to make, in those 70's color, yikes that turned me off crochet for so long! I think there is room for both in your life and I am thrilled you are teaching a whole new round of people crochet love!
Have a great weekend,
- 20 April, 2012
- LynS said...
I'm not a great crochet fan but...I do remember a burnt orange crochet poncho I wore (and made) in the 70s - and loved. And I think your grey earrings are super. And Sophie Digard - sigh! Maybe I need to come to a class.

ooh I love those blocks. They might be my favourite granny square thing ever!

- amy said...
I think I've mentioned before, my mother taught me to crochet but didn't tell me what anything was called, and patterns confuse the heck out of me. (One of the reasons I taught myself to knit? It seemed easier than trying to rewire my brain to understand crochet patterns!) I need to sit down with a pattern, you tube, and some yarn, and figure out exactly what I know how to do. My mother crocheted tons of granny squares (yes, out of squeaky plastic yarn) but never showed me how to do that, and I wish I could. Pity your classes are so far away. :)
Also? YAY YOU! I think it's awesome you were ASKED to teach!
- 21 April, 2012
- Yarna said...
I agree with Kylie - the bad rep is possibly due to the hideous crochet we see at shows. Perhaps we need to approach that the way we have the knitting. Oh - but I must learn to crochet to first! As it happens I don't live too far from C&I!
- 21 April, 2012
- Caffeine Girl said...
I've never understood crochet hate, either. And I agree that it's complementary to knitting. I've meant to learn how for a long time. If only I could take a class with you!

Yay teach! You keep spreading the love, I haven't done any for ages, will try and fit a bit in this weekend

Hey RR I love crochet and you were my teacher. I would love for you to teach me these wonderful flowers if you think I am upto it.

What wonderful news! I bet you're a great teacher. I think knitting and crochet are very complementary, so congrats, you!
- 22 April, 2012
- Knitdra said...
Much like it was at school, it's all about the teacher and their enthusiasm. You clearly have skill and passion for the crochet arts and I'd love to learn how to make those earrings!
- 22 April, 2012
- Alwen said...
It wasn't crochet's fault - it was those granny-square ponchos and vests from the 1970s that did it!
When I first saw Irish thread crochet, I thought it was awesome, and I was just amazed that it was the same technique that spawned beercan hats!
- 01 May, 2012
- 1funkyknitwit said...
I think knitting and crochet can have some bad representations out there, but when both are done well (and there are many examples out there) it can outdo any machine made shop bought item. Your crochet work is lovely Jane and you bring what is great about crochet out. YaY to you teaching classes and so fab that you inspired someone enough to continue on all weekend.

MORGAN HILL — A YMCA daycare employee has been arrested and charged on allegations he sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl he was tasked with watching, and investigators are exploring the possibility of additional victims, Morgan Hill police announced Tuesday.
Nicolas Lhermine, 20, of Morgan Hill, was taken into custody Friday after the victim told her parents he "forced her to engage in a lewd and lascivious act" while attending a YMCA child-care program at Paradise Valley Elementary School, police said.
The school provided facilities for the program but was otherwise not involved in its operation. The parents called police.
The alleged acts occurred in Lhermine's capacity as a daycare provider, which he has performed for the organization for four years, according to police and the YMCA. An ensuing investigation revealed evidence Lhermine also sexually assaulted a teenage girl, police said.
Following his arrest Friday night, Lhermine was charged with sexual acts with a child 10 years or younger and possession of child pornography. The latter charge was related to photographs he took that involved one of the alleged assaults, Morgan Hill police Capt. Shane Palsgrove said. He added that detectives are determining whether there are additional victims.
"We're conducting a lot of additional interviews, given that he's been working there for four years," Palsgrove said.
A police news release stated Lhermine "violated several YMCA policies that were in place preventing staff from being alone with children," and that the YMCA "will be notifying parents of children who have been in contact with Lhermine. Parents are encouraged to speak with their children, asking open ended questions regarding sexual abuse and report any allegations or inappropriate incidents that may have led to criminal acts to the police immediately."
Elizabeth Jordan, YMCA's chief operating officer, said her organization is cooperating fully with the police investigation in addition to conducting its own inquiry. She said Lhermine has been a longtime participant of their programs and began working for the agency as soon as he became eligible.
"He's been a real part of this community. He's had solid employee reviews with us," Jordan said. "It's proof that even with our strict YMCA (hiring) protocol, these kind of situations can still happen."
Jordan urged people to show restraint in judgment and allow the investigative process to finish but said that however the case turns out, it should prompt renewed watchfulness among parents and caregivers.
"We have to uphold that Nick is innocent until he is proven guilty," Jordan said. "But if these charges are proven true, it goes to show that even with extreme precautions and diligence, we still have to be constantly vigilant around our children."
Anyone with information about the case or who believes they may have been a victim can contact Detective Joseph Burdick at 408-779-2101 or leave a tip with Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers at 408-947-STOP (7867) or with svcrimestoppers.org.

J is for...
- Jurors. Yesteryear Links published an index to jurors and witnesses in cases heard at Charters Towers (Queensland), 1920-1937, in the Circuit Court, District Court, Criminal Court, Police Court, Coroner's Court etc. The index gives names, addresses and often occupations of jurors and witnesses, and it states whether the original document includes that person's signature.
- Justice Department. Queensland State Archives hold many series of Justice Department records for which there are indexes. They include Registers of Criminal Depositions, Inquests (magisterial enquiries), and Preliminary Enquiries. For one series of Preliminary Enquiries (1931-1961) there are separate indexes to the deceased and other people mentioned. If there was also an inquest, the Preliminary Enquiries file gives extra details.
You can find out more about all of these indexes by referring to my books Specialist Indexes in Australia: a Genealogist's Guide and Tips for Queensland Research, which are held by many libraries.
More tips for family history are in my other articles in this series. If the information and advice is useful, have a look at this page.

WASHINGTON — More than 40,000 Colorado federal employees braced over the weekend for unwanted furloughs as the prospect of a federal government shutdown grew stronger Saturday.
The federal government is Colorado's largest employer, so a partial shutdown could affect everything from the state's military installations to its federal research labs and the national parks that draw hundreds of thousands of visitors in the fall.
Also, Colorado is still reeling from the massive floods that destroyed or damaged more than 19,000 homes a few weeks ago. Although politicians, including Vice President Joe Biden, have vowed that a shutdown would not interrupt flood-relief efforts, it was unclear Saturday whether that was true.
Cash from several federal agencies was still pending, and many Washington bureaucrats manning those desks would be furloughed in the event of a shutdown Tuesday.
The government will run out of money at midnight Monday without additional appropriations from Congress.
Also, work by the Colorado and Utah Guardsmen to rebuild roads could be further delayed unless they are reclassified as "essential" personnel by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel; 120 Utah soldiers aren't scheduled to arrive until later this week because of the funding drama.
More than 10,000 of the more than 19,000 flood-plagued Coloradans who have applied for federal aid have received it, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Saturday prepared to pass a measure to fund the federal government temporarily. The White House and Senate Democrats have said they would reject the measure because it delays implementation of the Affordable Care Act by one year.
The House last week passed a federal government funding measure that defunded Obamacare. It was not supported in the Democratic-controlled Senate and was condemned by President Barack Obama.
"Boy, it's frustrating to see the Senate arch their backs and refuse to work with us," Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, said Saturday. "We need to do everything we can to avoid a shutdown."
Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs, said every member of Congress would bear some blame if there was a partial shutdown this week.
"There is a collective responsibility here, but as much as we don't want a shutdown, we also have to look at what is good for the long-term health of the country," he said. "Limiting Obamacare in any way we can is good for the country."
A separate proposal to be voted on Saturday is meant to guarantee that military service members get paid in the event of a shutdown.
The measure was sponsored by Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora.
"I obviously still hold out hope that a government shutdown will not occur," he said prior to the vote.
Currently in Colorado, many of the 50,000 or so active-duty servicemen and women would remain on the job, although their pay could be delayed if the shutdown goes beyond 10 days.
Vaughn Baker, superintendent of Rocky Mountain National Park, was just cheering last week's reopening of 93 percent of the park after nearby flooding affected many access points. But, without federal funding, Baker will start the process of shutting down the park to visitors, closing roads, giving warnings to campers in campgrounds and preparing to shutter buildings.
"A government shutdown would be a real blow for Estes Park," Baker said. "They're trying to get back on their feet economically."
Social Security checks would still go out during a shutdown, although applications for new benefits could be delayed, officials said. Veterans would still be able to access care, although some hotlines and services would be limited.
Other agencies that could be affected include the Bureau of Land Management, Head Start and the Small Business Administration loan program.
Colorado's senators, Democrats Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, begged congressional leadership to avoid the current brinkmanship that would lead to a shutdown.
"From the perspective of Colorado families and communities struggling with the magnitude of the recovery, this is the worst possible time for Congress to shut down the federal government," the senators wrote. "A shutdown could, at the very least, disrupt and complicate an already difficult recovery process."
Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, said Saturday that there is an opportunity for House Republicans to work with Democrats and come to some agreement.
"Why can't Republican leadership say let's sit down with the White House and the Democrats and let's do a compromise," DeGette said. "Instead, they pick the one issue that … we can't compromise on."

bwhritenour necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 54 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Living Realty, LLC (Tag Line: Welcome Home)
Residential real estate group with a wide variety of service offerings. Our organization is built on experience, education, and integration of systems and technology.
We are a full service provider, our clients get the Nordstrom or Lexus level treatment, as opposed to JC Penney or Ford.
Customer interactions are based on a system of checklists, feedback reports, and proactive strategies resulting in "No Surprises" for our clients.
We differentiate ourselves through use of social media, community involvement, and overall experience and performance level.
We enjoy a work hard/play hard mentality.
As real estate is all encompassing in our lives, we understand the concept of delivering a "hi tech, hi touch" approach to the business. We enjoy what we do and it shows.
Our primary target is residential real estate clients in the Dulles Market Corridor of Northern Virginia. While we work with first time home buyers, move up buyers, empty nesters, distressed properties (both held by lending institutions as well as private owners), we anticipate our focus transitioning to the Echo-Boomer/Millennials and tech savvy Gen X clients.
We face competition from 10,000+ real estate agents/teams/companies in the Northern Virginia and surrounding real estate markets. Our real estate company will be positioned under the Keller Williams brokerage umbrella, but designed to spin off as a stand alone in the future. The long term goal of the company is to position a brand that can either be franchised to multiple locations or sold to a larger international real estate corporation.
Looking for logo to represent our company & is a combination of both an icon & company name ("Living Realty, LLC"), & includes our Tag Line: "Welcome Home". (Note: the "LLC" in name should be as inconspicuous as possible.)
Logo & symbol should represent warmth/hospitality with a modern feel. The logo/icon should give the feeling of "Welcome Home" even before the viewer reads the tagline.
Most important is the ability to convey warmth, community, family, energy, hospitality, and professionalism.
Absolutely wish to avoid the stodgy, dated, 2-dimensional feel of most real estate companies (Century 21, ERA, Prudential, and Remax).
Colors: red, black, and gold. Many marketing pieces will tie back to the parent company, Keller Williams, so the red should stay in the same family as the KW red (found at http://www.kw.com), but possibly more vivid.
Feel free to experiment with the icon. No stock images/clip art.
Logo will go on yard signs, business cards, marketing collateral, web site, letterhead, apparel, etc so will need to be designed to fit accordingly & resize easily. Special note: As the logo will be used on signs placed in the yards, it needs to be recognizable from a distance.

The Islamic Roots of Modern Pharmacy by David W Tschanz
Medical flasks and bottles can be seen in this Ottoman manuscript about Islamic market, medicine and pharmacy
The professional who is specialized in the collection of all drugs, choosing the very best of each simple or compound, and in the preparation of good remedies from them following the most accurate methods and techniques as recommended by experts in the healing arts." -- Abu al-Rayan al-Biruni, c. 1045 CE
Al-Biruni's definition of the pharmacist could have been written today. Along the road from sympathetic magic and shamanism to scientific method, much trailblazing was carried out over a few centuries by scholars, alchemists, physicians and polymaths of the Muslim Middle East, and their rules, procedures and expectations are, to a great extent, practiced almost universally today.
Flanked by figures indicating his tutelage from master physicians (the figure on the right may represent first-century Greek physician Dioscorides), a saydalani—as an early pharmacist was called in Arabic—is shown at work in his dispensary, in which hang a variety of vessels for alchemical production. The illustration comes from 12th-century Iraq. (Source)
"In the West and the Middle East, early medicine as a whole was primarily a fusion of Greek, Indian, Persian and later Roman practices that had progressed over the better part of a millennium. Texts on medications were common, but most of thesemateria medica were simply lists of plants and minerals and their various effects. By the start of the seventh century ce Europe and much of the Near East had weakened culturally, and those achievements of Hellenistic arts, sciences and humanities that had not been erased were on an intellectual endangered-species list.
"By mid-century, the rise of Islam brought with it a new thirst for knowledge. This openness to discovery began the saving and, eventually, the expansion of much of what the classical world had lost. Nowhere was this truer than in the field of health, where medical practitioners took guidance from several hadiths (hah-DEETH), or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, such as this related by Bukhari: "God never inflicts a disease unless He makes a cure for it." Similarly, Abu Darda narrated that the Prophet said, "God has sent down the disease and the cure, and He has appointed a cure for every disease, so treat yourselves medically." Such words placed the responsibility for discovering cures squarely on the medical practitioner.
Within a century of the death of the Prophet in 632 ce, one of the earliest systematic approaches to drugs was under way in Damascus at the court of the ruling Umayyads. Snake and dog bites, as well as the ill effects of scorpions, spiders and other animals, were all causes of concern, and the poisonous properties of minerals and plants such as aconite, mandrake and black hellebore were exploited. As with most most areas of medicine at the time, Greek physicians Galen and Dioscorides were considered the ancient authorities, and building off their works, Muslim writers discussed with particular interest poisons and theriacs (antidotes).
Sudden death was not uncommon in royal courts, and it was frequently attributed, often erroneously, to poison. Not surprisingly, fear of poison convinced Umayyad leaders of the need to study them, detect them and cure them. As a result, much of early Islamic pharmacy was done by alchemists working in toxicology.
The first of these was Ibn Uthal, a Christian who served as physician to the first Umayyad caliph, Mu'awiyah. Ibn Uthal was a noted alchemist who had conducted a systematic study of poisons and antidotes. He was also reported to be Mu'awiyah's silent executioner, and in 667 he was himself poisoned in an act of vengeance by the relatives of one of his alleged victims. Another Christian physician-pharmacist, Abu al-Hakam al-Dimashqi, served the second Umayyad caliph, Yazid.
Yazid's son, Khalid bin Yazid, took particular interest in alchemy, and he employed Greek philosophers who were living in Egypt. He rewarded them well, and they translated Greek and Egyptian books on chemistry, medicine and astronomy into Arabic. A contemporary of Khalid's was Jabir ibn Hayyan, called Geber in the West, who promoted alchemy as a profession, laying early foundations for chemical and biochemical research.
These early Islamic alchemists proved to be meticulous and persistent in their experimentation, and they made careful written observations of results. They designed their experiments to gather information and answer specific questions, and through them "scientific alchemy" arose. Avoiding
unproven belief (superstition) in favor of the compilation and application of procedures, measurements and demonstrated trials that could be tested and reproduced, their work represented the true advent of the scientific method.
The role of scientific alchemy cannot be overemphasized. By the ninth century, the trend, approach and type of information that circulated in Arabic alchemical manuals represented some of the best work in this field. The careful methodology the alchemists developed served all fields, including pharmacy.
In the process of experimenting in making amalgamations and elixirs, important mineral and chemical substances were used, such as sal ammoniac, vitriols, sulphur, arsenic, common salt, quicklime, malachite, manganese, marcasite, natron, impure sodium borate and vinegar.
Among simples of botanical origin, they used fennel, saffron, pomegranate rinds, celery, leek, sesame, rocket, olives, mustard and lichen. Significant gums such as frankincense and acacia were used, as well as animal products including hair, blood, egg white, milk (both fresh and sour), honey and dung.
A French manuscript from the 14th century depicts alchemists at work. Some 500 years later, French chemist Henri Moissan was shown at work in his lab at Paris's l'Ecole de pharmacie, below. (Source)
Laboratory equipment consisted of pots, pans, tubes, retorts, alembics, crucibles and various distilling apparatus; covering platters, ceramic jars, tumblers, mortars and pestles (often made of glass or metals); as well as tripods, scales and medicinal bottles. The range and scope of alchemical operations included processes often used today: distillation, sublimation, evaporation, pulverization, washing, straining, cooking, calcination and condensation (the thickening of liquid compounds).
While translation of Greek, Persian and Indian scientific books into Arabic had begun under the Umayyad caliphate, it blossomed in the ninth century under the Baghdad-based Abbasids. Hunayn ibn Ishaq, with his superlative knowledge of Syriac, Greek and Arabic, was probably the greatest of the translators, and his works included most of the corpus of Hippocrates and Galen. Intellectual ferment, reinforced by support from the highest levels of government, paved the way for some 400 years of achievements. Methods of extracting and preparing medicines were brought to a high art, and these techniques became the essential processes of pharmacy and chemistry.
A pharmacist was called saydalani, a name derived from the Sanskrit for a seller of sandalwood. The saydalanis introduced new drugs including—not unexpectedly— sandalwood, but also camphor, senna, rhubarb, musk, myrrh, cassia, tamarind, nutmeg, alum, aloes, cloves, coconut, nuxvomica, cubeb, aconite, ambergris, mercury and more. They further introduced hemp and henbane as anesthetics, and they dispensed these in the forms of ointments, pills, elixirs, confections, tinctures, suppositories and inhalants.
As was the case in Europe and America up to modern times, many prominent physicians in Islamic lands prepared some medications for their patients themselves. While Al-Majusi, Al-Zahrawi and Ibn Sina are all good examples, they are actually exceptions, for the typical medical professional often welcomed the separate, specialized role of a saydalani, whose work proved as distinct from medicine as grammar is from composition.
According to science historian E. J. Holmyard, Jabir ibn Hayyan, born in the early eighth century and known in the West as Geber, worked with classical Greek texts and the alchemy of his own time and "opened a gate which no one had ever opened," paving the way to scientific alchemy and, from there, to the foundations of modern rational chemistry based on controlled, replicable experiments. (Source)
By the beginning of the ninth century, Baghdad saw a rapid expansion of private pharmacy shops, a trend that quickly spread to other Muslim cities. Initially these were unregulated and managed by personnel of inconsistent quality, but all that changed as pharmacy students were trained in a combination of classroom exercises coupled with day-to-day practical experiences with drugs, and decrees by the caliphs al-Mamun and al-Mutasim required pharmacists to pass examinations and become licensed professionals pledged to follow the physician's prescriptions. To avoid conflicts of interest, doctors were barred from owning or sharing ownership in a pharmacy. Pharmacists and their shops were periodically inspected by amuhtasib, a government-appointed inspector of weights and measures who checked to see that the medicines were mixed properly, not diluted and kept in clean jars. Violators were fined or beaten. Hospitals developed their own dispensaries attached to manufacturing laboratories. The hospital was run by a three-man board comprising a non-medical administrator, a physician who served as mutwalli(dean) and the shaykh saydalani, the chief pharmacist, who oversaw the dispensary. Around this time pharmacy developed its own specialized literature. It built first on Dioscorides' materia medica of some 500 substances, and then also on Nestorian physician Yuhanna bin Masawayh, a second-generation pharmacist, who penned an early treatise on therapeutic plants and aromatics.
It was a younger colleague, Abu al-Hasan 'Ali ibn Sahl Rabban al-Tabari, who said that the therapeutic value of each drug needed to be reconciled with the particular disease, and he urged physicians not to simply provide a routine remedy. He identified the best sources for components, stating, for example, that the finest black myrobalan comes from Kabul; aloes, from Socotra; and aromatic spices, from India.
He recommended glass or ceramic storage vessels for liquid drugs, special small jars for eye liquid salves and lead containers for fatty substances. To treat ulcerated wounds, he prescribed an ointment made of juniper gum, fat, butter and pitch. In addition, he warned that one mithqal (about four grams) of opium or henbane causes sleep and also death.
The first known medical formulary was prepared in the mid-ninth century by Al-Aqrabadhin Sabur ibn Sahl for pharmacists in both private and hospital pharmacies. The book included medical recipes, techniques of compounding, pharmacological actions, dosages and the means of administration. The formulas were organized by tablets, powders, ointments, electuaries or syrups, and later, larger formularies followed his model.
More generally, pharmacological drugs were classified into simples and compounds—mufraddat and murakkabat. The largest and most popular of themateria medica manuals, written by Ibn al-Baytar, born in Malaga in the kingdom of Granada toward the end of the 12th century, offered an alphabetical guide to more than 1,400 simples taken from Ibn al-Baytar's own observations as well as 150 from named written sources.
Today, every prescription filled, every pharmacy license granted, every elixir, syrup and medicament created, used or tested reflects this Islamic legacy. If what the alchemists and early medical practitioners did then seems all too obvious to us now, it is only because today's obvious is yesterday's discovery.
French chemist Henri Moissan was shown at work in his lab at Paris's l'Ecole de pharmacie with equipment that often utilized processes first explored by scientific alchemists: distillation, sublimation, evaporation, pulverization, washing, straining, cooking, calcification and condensation—processes still widely in use today.

Good loading control for native gels? - (Oct/21/2012 )
I have recently found that one of the proteins that I am looking for in my homogenized mouse brain samples (both in plain PBS and also in RIPA lysis buffer) can only reliably be detected when the sample is run under purely native conditions (native gel, no heating, no reducing, no SDS in loading or running buffer or gel). Western blotting for the protein under these conditions produces beautiful results with little background and nonspecific labeling. However, I'm having one heck of a time finding a loading control that works for native gel westerns. Beta tubulin (Ab6046 from Abcam) appears to dimerize under native conditions and no longer has a band around 55 kDa and both GAPDH (Ab9485 Abcam) and alph actin (Sigma whole antiserun a2668) are not visible when I probe for them. I am wondering if anyone knows of a loading control that works for Western blotting under native gel conditions? I am considering ordering an anti-beta actin Ab that claims to recognize both the native and denatured form. Does anyone have any experience with this? This problem has caused much frustration and any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Reminded me of this.
Thank you, Webhill!
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Um... I'm fine down here! Stop yelling at me!
I was trying to think of what freaky issues your vagina could have and I think first and foremost would be its ability to verbalize a response when asked if it is okay.
Ok, I looked at the Chatter Box front cover. One of the guys on there looks like the serial killer BTK. Anyone else notice this?
Humor enhanced by headline right above it.
I imagine, if that vagina had the ability to emote, it would be rolling its eyes. Hehe.
(Oh, God, wait . . . that would mean it would have to have eyes!)
Okay. This reminds me of the commercials about feminine products I don't need. As well as an old story. Back when I was in college I was taking a shower with a guy and while I was lathering I (duh) washed my genitalia. He was aghast! "You can't do that!" I looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "Why not?" to which he replied that his last girlfriend said that soap can't be used (and this is a direct quote) "down there". I stared at him for a minute and said, "My God! First of all, what would you possibly use to clean yourself with if you don't use soap and secondly, why on Earth would you want to have sex with someone who doesn't use soap!!"
Maybe one of those freaky issues happens to women who don't use soap.
Magazines these days. Worst part is, it's Dakota Fanning on the cover - she's not even 21 yet.
Kat´s Kat, you don´t need to clean your vagina. You know that sticky yellow stuff, that´s the vagina cleaning itself. In fact call the vagina a self cleaning oven.
Another thing, don´t clean the vagina with soap. It´s un needed and can cause bladder infections. I hate to say this, but your boyfriend is right. Very right.
Depends on the pH of the soap. But usually clean water is enough.
The vagina has a pH of appr. 4,5 and soap is way higher, this can destroy the acidity and lead so yeast infections..
The outside still needs to be washed. No need to get all up in the vagina's grill. Unless you like smelling like pee of course.
I think there is a difference between washing the vulva (which seems appropriate) and washing the vagina (which is often called a "self-cleaning organ," but never before have I heard it called a "self-cleaning oven!").
I'm gonna go on record and say that if you are actually washing your vagina with soap, well - I think that's just strange.
I am eternally appalled at the number of women who do not understand the difference between the vulva and the vagina. The vagina is the INSIDE part.
On the other hand, I now have in my head a showtunes spectacular, complete with tuxedo-clad hunky men, all holding up a giant tubular vagina while singing, "Hello, Vagina!"
Moose, I think I love you! The inside of your head and the inside of my head should get together...or maybe not... Not sure the world would survive!!
Just for the record I don't put soap into my vagina nor do I use douches unless directed to do so by a physician (none of whom have ever done so, duh!). I was using genitalia in its specific use of the external sexual organs. While in males this means the penis and testicles, that is because they wear their genitalia on the outside as opposed to women who wear theirs on the inside.
Which is a very convenient arrangement when you think about it for a few minutes.
And, by the bye, did you exchange Youthful Exuberance for a shower partner who would help you wash your... back?
You people! You're all so funny! My vagina is so totally cracking up right now!
I still have Exuberance at 50 and I think that having a shower partner is always an excellent idea! It ensures that one does not miss a spot. The only drawback is that sometimes the hot water runs out. ::weg::
When my vagina starts talking and answering questions, I'm gonna find me a shrink. Fast.
"No, I'm not okay! My neighbor is an asshole!"

Weary Brewers welcome postponement
CHICAGO -- This may have been the real world equivalent of Crash Davis running the sprinklers overnight when his Durham Bulls needed a rainout.
The scuffling Brewers, with a crowded disabled list, a combustible bullpen and a 2-6 record, needed a break. Mother Nature gave them one.
CHICAGO -- This may have been the real world equivalent of Crash Davis running the sprinklers overnight when his Durham Bulls needed a rainout.
The scuffling Brewers, with a crowded disabled list, a combustible bullpen and a 2-6 record, needed a break. Mother Nature gave them one.
"I don't think it's a bad thing," manager Ron Roenicke said.
He spoke in the visiting manager's office after the decision was made more than four hours before the scheduled first pitch that the Brewers and Cubs would not play at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night. Rain was in the forecast, along with near-freezing temperatures, and Cubs officials decided early that this was no day for fans or players to come to the ballpark.
The teams will make up the game on July 30, at 1:20 p.m. CT, as part of a day-night doubleheader.
Beleaguered bullpen
|Brewers relievers
|NL rank
The Brewers' starting pitchers were all pushed back one day, so right-hander Kyle Lohse will start on Friday night in St. Louis against his former team, followed by Yovani Gallardo on Saturday and Marco Estrada on Sunday.
The washout even meant an extra night at home. Instead of flying to St. Louis late Wednesday night as originally scheduled, the Brewers bussed back to Milwaukee and planned to fly on Thursday afternoon.
"It comes at a good time for us," said left fielder Ryan Braun. "We're obviously not playing well, and nobody enjoys playing in this weather. The combination of those two things, I think we're fortunate to have the day off tonight."
Among the ways in which this was a welcome rainout for the Brewers:
• It gave Braun an extra day to heal a stiff neck that cost him three consecutive games over the weekend, and shortstop Jean Segura time to heal a bruised left thigh and rolled right ankle. Braun was able to play the first two games against the Cubs at less than 100 percent, and he and Segura were to be in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Both will benefit from the extra time off.
• It lined up the Brewers' top three starting pitchers against the rival Cardinals for the teams' first meeting this season, starting with a sentimental matchup for Lohse on Friday night. He pitched the past five seasons in a Cardinals uniform, and has not started at Busch Stadium as an opponent since June 7, 2007, when he worked 8 1/3 innings for the Reds and allowed only one run.
• It gave the Brewers' beleaguered bullpen a break. John Axford has already been removed temporarily from the closer's role and the entire group has been used extensively in the season's first eight games. The group owns a 6.11 ERA, third-worst among National League bullpens, and a .319 batting average against that ranks last.
• It gave Roenicke more time to brainstorm ideas to get production from the cleanup spot. In the four full games since third baseman Aramis Ramirez went down with a left knee injury, Brewers No. 4 hitters were 1-for-18 with one RBI and eight strikeouts.
Rickie Weeks, who went 0-for-10 with six strikeouts in his two games in that spot, was hitting fourth in Roenicke's lineup on Wednesday. With right-hander Shelby Miller scheduled to start for St. Louis on Friday, Weeks will probably be back in the cleanup hole. Against right-handers, Roenicke views Weeks as the best option to protect Braun.
"Rickie's killing the ball in the second spot, and I move him to the fourth spot and all of a sudden he doesn't hit, and now I'm thinking, 'Is this my fault because I moved him to the fourth spot?'" Roenicke said. "There's all kinds of things that go into it. I try to do what I see is best, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way."
Ditto in the bullpen. Roenicke would much prefer a situation like the Brewers enjoyed in the second half of 2011, when LaTroy Hawkins and Takashi Saito handled the seventh inning, Francisco Rodriguez locked-down the eighth and Axford was nearly automatic in the ninth. So far this season, everyone is scrambling for roles.
"I'm trying to figure out how to do this right," Roenicke said.
Wednesday's postponement may have been hardest on Matt Smith, a longtime home clubhouse assistant who was serving as interim director of team travel on this trip. Dan Larrea, who for years has filled that role, was home in Milwaukee with his wife, Stacy, who gave birth to twins Jacob and Isabella last week. They were headed home from the hospital on Wednesday when the Cubs postponed the game.
The challenge was that the Brewers were not scheduled to fly to St. Louis until very late Wednesday night, and getting the team charter to Chicago earlier than that was nearly impossible because of the inclement weather. So the choices were to wait around for a plane that might not arrive, or bus back to Milwaukee and try again Thursday.
Larrea got involved to make the arrangements. Still, it made for a challenging debut for Smith.
"He doesn't want this job anymore," Roenicke quipped.
The situation was typical of the Brewers' trying start.
"It's been quite chaotic early in the season," Braun said.

Chris Pegula's Dude-Friendly Diaper Bags
By: Nicole Pelletiere When exploring the challenges of parenthood, we typically focus on the roles of Mommies. However, this day in age Dads are more involved than ever. With that in mind, we're sure that carrying around a floral, not-so-manly diaper bag is no walk in the park. Many of today's Dads have been there before and that's where 'The Diaper Dude' comes in. Chris Pegula, more commonly known as 'The Diaper Dude', is a lifestyle expert in all things family and parenting. He is dedicated to being the ideal husband and father, and all the while making other men's transitions easier for when they too become dads. After the birth of his three children, Pegula began creating 'The Diaper Dude' brand, which takes a traditional diaper bag and gives it a hip, masculine style. Pegula's 'dude-friendly' bags are worn by some of the world's most recognizable Dads including: Brad Pitt, Matthew Broderick, Ben Stiller, Patrick Dempsey, and David Arquette. His Diaper Dude brand has also been featured on various media outlets such as Oprah, E! News, Access Hollywood, and much more. With such brilliant brand and so much success, New Parent just had to find out who the dude behind the Diaper Dude really was… New Parent: Diaper Dude diaper bags are very cool, how did you come up with the idea? Chris: My wife is responsible for me starting Diaper Dude. When she was pregnant with our first child, over 12 years ago, she came home one day with a dozen, flowery diaper bags. I kid you not. I took one look and asked "Where was mine?" She said "Take your pick." I said "No Way!" The rest is history. New Parent: Who was in mind when you designed them? Chris: Actually I envisioned my brother-in-law. He is very athletic, also a hunter, a woodsy type of guy. I figured if he liked it then it was sure to be a hit! New Parent: The Diaper Dude looks as if it will be the perfect birthday or Father's Day gift, what makes it so functional and why will Dads love it? Chris: Diaper dude is designed to be hands-free. You can access everything you need without ever having to take the bag off. It's compartmentalization also helps dad to be stress free since you can access whatever you need at a moments notice. The fact that it does not look like a diaper bag is another plus. Overall functionality, comfort and design are what make Diaper Dude unique and why dads will love it. New Parent: What are your thoughts about "Daddy Blogging" and the Daddy market? Chris: When I started my company over 10 years ago, I saw the dad market potential. It's exciting to see how many more dads today are as involved in parenting as ever. Daddy blogging is a great way to provide knowledge and seek advice from other dads. The internet is so powerful. It's really remarkable how you can be a part of a community that can provide you with that sense that you are not alone in this journey as a new dad. I think that's important and helpful as a parent. New Parent: What's the best thing (for you) about being a Dad? Chris: I love that moment at night when I check in on them while they are sleeping. It's then that I am often amazed at how fortunate and blessed I am to be a dad. So often as parents we get caught up in the daily activities of our lives that we forget how precious our children are. That moment to me means the world. To discover more about the Diaper Dude brand, or to purchase a bag for your favorite Dad, visit The Diaper Dude Store.
