A Sandwich a Day: BLT at The Old Oak Tap
Reviews of Chicago sandwiches.
I had high hopes. Not only was the BLT ($10) at The Old Oak Tap on Chicago Magazine's list of The 50 Best Sandwiches in Chicago, it was number one. Now, the BLT is as fine a sandwich as has ever been created, but its success rests completely on the back of exceptional, in-season tomatoes. Without them, the BLT never works. So what is the Old Oak Tap doing serving one in November?
This version gets around that problem by subbing in fried green tomatoes. Coated in cornmeal, the thick slice is slightly crunchy and acidic. Along with extra crunchy strips of maplewood smoked bacon (the B ) and arugula (the L), the sandwich also adds a smear of pimento cheese. The latter is surely untraditional, but I have a genuine soft spot for the spread, so I can't complain.
So is it the best sandwich in Chicago? Drum roll please... Absolutely not! What sandwich is better? How about a BLT made with ripe, red summer tomatoes, sliced thick, and so dripping with juices that they nearly soak the white bread. That's a perfect sandwich experience, and damn you for reminding me of one when it will be ten or so months until I can satisfy my craving. On the other hand, the BLT at the Old Oak Tap is an excellent sandwich—satisfying and salty—that nonetheless is more of an interesting variation than a complete reinvention of the genre.

Laramie, Wyo. — Kenny Sailors, the inventor of the jump shot, the 1943 National Player of the Year at the University of Wyoming and the oldest living Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament is one of 10 individuals who have been selected to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Class of 2012.
Joining Sailors in the 2012 class of inductees are Georgetown center Patrick Ewing, Kansas center Clyde Lovellette, North Carolina guard Phil Ford, Winston-Salem State guard Earl Monroe, Grambling center Willis Reed, Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall, Virginia Union coach Dave Robbins and contributors Jim Host, the founder of Host Communications, and Joe Dean, of Converse and LSU.
Sailors led Wyoming to the 1943 NCAA Championship, while being named the National Player of the Year and the Most Outstanding Player in the '43 NCAA Tournament. He is also credited with creating the jump shot.
"There have been a number of people who have tried to get me in (the Hall of Fame) through the years," said Sailors. "I want to thank all those individuals, and I want to thank all those who were involved in the selection process. Now that it has happened I'm very proud that I've made it. It's probably about the last honor I will receive, and it's probably the biggest.
"Some people think I'm as old as Methuselah. The only thing Methuselah didn't have that I do is the jump shot. I think the jump shot has done more to keep me in front of the people who select these type of honors than anything. I'm honored to be selected, even though I am a little late in years, and I'm honored to be joining Coach (Everett) Shelton in the Hall."
Sailors, who turned 91 on Jan. 14, 2012, and his former head coach, Everett Shelton, are the only two representatives from the state of Wyoming in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Shelton was inducted in the inaugural class of the NCB Hall of Fame in 2006.
After teaming with Shelton to lead Wyoming to the NCAA Championship in 1943, Sailors enlisted in the Marines and served in the South Pacific during World War II. After being away from the game he loved for two years, Sailors returned to Wyoming for the 1945-46 season and once again earned All-America honors.
The announcement of the class was made by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Foundation on Tuesday.
"The Class of 2012 has incredible roots in the game of college basketball – from the player who introduced the jump shot at Wyoming to the domination of a 7-footer at Georgetown," said Reggie Minton, Deputy Executive Director of the NABC and chair of the Hall of Fame selection panel. "This group of coaches, players and contributors will no doubt bring back memories of national championships, All-American performances and the tremendous growth of the sport throughout the years."
The Class of 2012 will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012, at the Midland Theatre in Kansas City as part of a three-day celebration of college basketball. The Hall of Fame is located in the College Basketball Experience, a world class entertainment facility that provides a multi-faceted interactive experience for fans of the game.
On Nov. 19-20, Kansas, Saint Louis, Texas A&M and Washington State will compete at Sprint Center in the CBE Classic.
This year's class of inductees will also be recognized during this year's NCAA Final Four in New Orleans.
In 2006 the first class was inducted into the newly formed National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. That class included the game's inventor, James Naismith, and possibly its greatest coach in John Wooden. Anyone who was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for men's college basketball prior to 2008 was a member of the Founding Class of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.
Former Wyoming head coach Everett Shelton, who died on April 16, 1974, was inducted as a member of that founding class in 2006. Shelton was inducted posthumously into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1982.
Since that time, five more classes have traveled to Kansas City for a weekend of festivities. Those classes have included the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Danny Manning, Larry Bird and Earvin "Magic" Johnson.

Boil Water Orders
Current Boil Water Orders
The confirmed presence of bacteria such as E. coli or high turbidity levels lead to most of the boil orders issued in Missouri. Conditions have been found at the water systems listed that could pose an immediate threat to the public health. Affected consumers can remedy the problem by boiling their drinking water for three to five minutes, which should kill any microbes present. A list of all acute MCL violations for a given year can be found in the Water Protection Program, Public Drinking Water Branch Annual Compliance Report. This list does not include precautionary boil water advisories. Boil water advisories are issued by the local water supply as a precautionary measure.
If you hear of a boil water order or advisory that affects you, but is not on this list, the department urges you to take all precautions as instructed by your public water system.
The Report of Current Boil Water Orders in Missouri lists current boil water orders issued by the department according to the report issue date. A Map of Current Boil Water Orders in Missouri has also been provided to show the approximate location of the listed boil water orders.
Note: The county and the nearest town are provided for each water system solely as a locational reference point for the purpose of helping viewers determine the location of the system. The boil order applies only to the listed water system, not the county or the nearest town.
Additional Information
If you have any questions regarding the boil water orders, please call the Department of Natural Resources' Public Drinking Water Branch at 800-361-4827 or 573-751-5331.

LEOMINSTER — State Police Thursday identified Barry Stone as the victim in Wednesday's fatal crash on Route 2.
Stone, 51, of Fitchburg, was driving a 2001 BMW 325i eastbound when it collided with a tractor-trailer just past Exit 31 about 10:30 a.m.
A trauma nurse driving past the accident stopped to offer medical help, but Stone died before Leominster Fire Department EMTs could free him from the car.
"Preliminary investigation by Trooper Thomas Poirier indicates that a tractor-trailer unit, operated by Christopher Carroll, of Rollinsford, N.H., was traveling eastbound on Route 2 when, for reasons still under investigation, it collided with a 2001 BMW 325I in traffic," a statement by state police said.
The left lanes of traffic were closed about two hours during the investigation.
Stone had worked in Fitchburg State University information-technology department since 2008.
"Even as we mourn the loss of a colleague, our thoughts and prayers are with Barry's family," said Fitchburg State University President Robert Antonucci.
According to the Internet site Indeed Resume, Stone owned PC Mobile Repair in Lunenburg from 2000 to 2009; was a finance manager at Compaq Computer Corp. in Littleton from 1995 to 2000; and worked at Digital Equipment Corp. in Stow from 1983 to 1995.

In July, Christina Grimmie's family said it would be releasing the visual EP the late singer recorded before her death. All four songs from Side A received their own video, but now Grimmie's family has released the video for the last song, "Without Him."
The emotional music video from "The Ballad of Jessica Blue" begins with the titular character, Jessica Blue (Grimmie), seeking advice from a friend before taking to the stage to rock a concert. The cheers and claps from the crowd seem to breathe life into Blue's/Grimmie's energy throughout her performance, and finally gives her the courage to confront her boyfriend who has been cheating on her.
Celebrity Deaths: 2016's Fallen Stars
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Grimmie, who was also known for her partipation on NBC's 'The Voice', was just 22-years-old when she was fatally shot while signing autographs for fans at Orlando's Plaza Live Theater almost three months ago. Friends, family and fans mourned her death around the world. During a memorial service, her brother Marcus, who was present at the time of the shooting, addressed the crowds who came out to pay their respects.
"I don't have anything to say, I don't have words still and it's a good and bad thing," he said. "All I'm going to say is thank God for the mark that she left on this world. Thanks mom and dad I know it's going to be really tough for us to move forward."

Well, where to start?
School has been going great, I really love it. It offers the right amount of balance between spiritual growth, core material and science. I've really been enjoying my body/mind/spirit class. It's taught me how our bodies really do know what's best for us and often tell us. But when we fight it and go against our initial feeling, wishes or deepest desires, our body lashes back with a symptom. This symptom can be that of an innocent one but a symptom nonetheless. The longer we go without listening to ourselves, the worse the symptom gets. If you think about it, it all makes sense. How does someone get cancer, heart disease, diabetes, tumors, cysts, etc? They don't contract these things from other people, they are all self-inflicted due to poor eating habits, stress, inner conflict, depression, etc. I'm really into this stuff we're learning.
My poor pup has been roughing it out all on her own and I have to congratulate her on being a good girl so far (fingers crossed). Work has been not so great. As I enter back into the world of serving, I have quickly remembered how miserable it was the first time. Nothing has changed. I hate the fact that I rest my paycheck in the hands of someone else. I have to deliberately kiss their ass for my money, and they know it, so most of them take advantage of it. I never look forward to going in for my shift and I dwell on the fact that I have to go to work days before even going in. I have only had 2 shifts on my own and made $65 for both nights combined. For the number of hours I have put in and the end result of money I have made, I might as well be working an hourly job. This is where I am torn. I want so desperately to leave this place of work and find something else, but understand this is only temporary and will ultimately bring in more money, once season hits, than an hourly job. So what do I do? Do I go against my instinct and possibly suffer or go with it? I have already started looking for a new job but realized immediately how hard it is going to be to find something.
I will meditate on this dilemma and see what comes to me.
As for eats around here, simplicity is the norm. I pack my lunches with a soup of some kind, raw almonds, clementines, bananas and herbal tea. I have recently joined Weight Watchers to help me grasp the concept of portion control. I admit I was embarrassed to go to my first meeting because I was very skeptical. I thought I knew what to do and I thought I was eating right but the scale wasn't moving. After being on weight watchers for a week, I realize that I did know what to eat but I was eating too much of it. Going through my points and measuring things out has left me in shock at what a serving size actually is. I would think to myself, "That's it? That can't be a serving." I would reread the box and recalculate the points and thought to myself, "this will never fill me up." Well, I was wrong. Although the food doesn't leave me feeling stuffed, I find that I am satisfied and like this new way of living. I've also learned to compromise. Compromise eating light and healthy all day to have that cup of pasta for dinner. So far, I have lost only a few pounds from what reflects on my scale but I need to weigh in at the next meeting to know for sure. I give myself the unfair advantage of weighing with no cloths on and first thing in the morning when the meetings weight you fully clothed and at the end of the day.
I had to "freeze" my yoga account until school is over. I did not realize just how time consuming it would all be and I would rather enjoy my yoga time rather than forcing it in when I have a second. Plus, when I am freed up and want to go to yoga I have to go to one of the times scheduled compared to walking into a gym and my workout begins right then. So, this was yet another sacrifice to the end result of something better. I know I will have my yoga studio in my life again but for now I may just buy a yoga DVD and start a home practice.
There you have it. A condensed update on my life and how things are going. I am still planning on blogging and feel like it would be beneficial to me but I must apologize in advance for the lack of pictures. It is easier for me to sit down and write as of this moment than it is for me to make something, take a picture and then insert recipe. It's not that my pictures are departing forever but they will not be in every post as they have been.
Oh, and just in case you're interested, my initial weigh in was 165 lbs. I will update this every time I attend a meeting and weigh in. Thanks for sticking around and reading! 🙂

Sermon delivered January 11, 2009.
Today there exists many false teachings and lies about who we are as human beings including our value, how we work, and how we are to relate to one another. As well, there are lies about the existence of evil and the devil and how he works in the world. If someone tells you it's not important what you believe as long as you believe, don't believe them. There is no such thing as each person's own religion and spirituality that he/she can make up on his/her own. There is one person, Jesus Christ, who is the Truth. We are to believe in Him and follow Him only, not anyone else. One of the best gospel passages for us to learn about the devil, evil and temptation is yesterday's reading for the Saturday After Theophany (Matthew 4:1-11). It is about the Temptation of Jesus. Allow me to read it now.
What are the lessons we can learn from Jesus' temptation?
First, after Jesus' Baptism and Chrismation by John in the Jordan, He is led by the Spirit (v.1). It is our baptism that unites us with Christ and it is our Chrismation in which we receive the gift of God's Holy Spirit. From this point forward the Spirit leads us and guides us. Some may say, "I don't feel like God's Spirit is leading and guiding me. Sometimes I feel abandoned." Well, we must renew our Chrismation, which some call it our personal Pentecost, each and every week at the Divine Liturgy. During the Epiklesis, we pray that God send His Holy Spirit upon the gifts of bread and wine to change them into His body and blood. At the same time, we pray that He send the same Spirit upon each one of us. The Holy Spirit of God can descend upon us each day in prayer, but we must pray and must ask for God's Spirit. God does not leave us to fend for ourselves. He provides the Spirit for guidance to lead us on the path of His will.
Second, where did the Spirit lead Jesus? He was led into the wilderness, which is an icon/symbol of the world-a battleground. That's why the Epistle for the Saturday after Theophany is Ephesians 6:10-17 where St. Paul teaches about the Armor of God and fighting the forces of evil. Thus, being baptized and chrismated, worshipping in church, receiving the Eucharist, and praying daily, are no guarantees of living an easy, pristine life. In fact, it might be the opposite, the more we dedicate ourselves to God, the more spiritual battles we will have to fight. No one, no matter how holy they are, is free from temptation. Even Jesus was tempted.
Third, fasting is necessary for spiritual maturation and growth. Holiness is not compatible with gluttony. The devil's first temptation is get the hungry Jesus to turn stones into bread just like Satan tempted Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit in the Garden of Eden. However, Jesus' fasting enables Him to overcome temptation because He is not dominated by fleshly passions and desires. Through fasting, Jesus show's us one of the most powerful tools to do battle against the devil and temptation. We must not be fooled, because when we fast, we will be tempted. In Luke 4:2 it says Jesus was tempted for forty days.
Fourth, every temptation is based in pride. The devil says to Jesus, "If You are the Son of God" (vv.3,6). Satan says to us, "If you are smart if you are beautiful if you are talented if you are fill in the blank." In other words, he is setting us up by puffing us up to exalt ourselves to think we don't need anyone or anything to depend on, especially God. In essence, Satan is simply tempting us with our free will. If you can do it, why not, go ahead and do it. In other words, it's the will-to-power principle. Anything you can do, you should do, right? Wrong!
Fifth, while the devil is tempting us to be free and independent of God, he will play the other side of the coin at the same time. That's what the second temptation is about. Satan tells Christ, by quoting sacred scripture, that He should throw Himself from the pinnacle of the temple because God's angels will rescue Him (v.5-6). Satan tells us, "Go ahead, throw yourself into situations of peril, even though they are physically and spiritually dangerous, because God will rescue you." The message is that faith is like magic. We don't need to exercise caution, discretion and discipline because God does all the work for us. No, we must not tempt God, we must take responsibility for our actions and we must be co-workers with God.
Sixth, if we do not already have the resources to be foolishly independent of God, the devil will entice to go out and get them. This is the third temptation of power and possessions and Satan actually has the ability to grant these to us because he is "the ruler of this world" (John 12:31; 16:11). If anyone has wealth, whether he or she realizes it, it is intoxicating just like alcohol, drugs or any other mood altering chemical. Power and possession make us feel like we are in control of our own destiny. They also have a magical spell leading us to think we can do super-human feats. However, all of this is just vanity, just a façade, a smoke screen that blinds us to the reality of our utter dependence upon God for everything.
Seventh, if we are paying attention, we notice that Jesus answered every temptation with Scripture. The Spirit is also leading us to look into the Scripture for strength, guidance and answers to the puzzling questions and temptations in our own life. Jesus' answer to the devil's first temptation is "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Deuteronomy 8:3). We Orthodox Christians believe that the Mosiac Law, the Prophets, the Gospels, the Epistles, the writings of the Saints and Church Fathers, the creeds and canons of the Ecumenical Councils are the word of God that guides our lives. Jesus' answer to the third temptation is "You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only you shall serve" (Deut.6:13). Every choice we make, every word we speak, and every action we take, demonstrates who we worship and serve. Do we worship and serve God? Is He first in our life?
Eighth and final point, Jesus says, "Away with you Satan!" (v.10) and show us we have the power of spoken word to tell the devil to go away. Words, especially in the name of God, have power. Satan must obey them. However, as it says in Luke 4:13, the devil will return at an "opportune" time. In other words, overcoming temptation is not a one time event. Satan will be back at time when we are more vulnerable or more puffed up to try again. Thus, we must be vigilant, always ready, to do battle with Satan in the wilderness. Jesus Christ has already won the war but we must join with Him in every aspect of our life to employ this victory in each and every battle we face. Amen!

About Mercedes Benz 300TD
The Mercedes Benz 300TD was a popular and ergonomically designed vehicle. A turbo diesel wagon with plenty of space, the 300TD was a great choice for the family minded enthusiast who was looking for a practical drive without having to sacrifice comfort, luxury, and of course that signature Mercedes style. The 300TD was a 4-speed automatic that got roughly 24 miles to the gallon, not bad considering its size. The 300TD wagon has gained a lot of nostalgic value, and although it is still a few years shy of being considered a classic, the appeal of this whip is similar to that of a woody. As long as they are well maintained, they can still be seen on the road today.

Letter to Representative Lee Terry expressing NEA's support for the State and Local Education Flexibility Act (H.R. 2946)
July 11, 2007
Dear Representative Terry:
On behalf of the National Education Association's (NEA) 3.2 million members, we would like to express our general support for the State and Local Education Flexibility Act (H.R. 2946). We believe the bill offers common sense flexibility to help states and schools meet the important goals of the No Child Left Behind Act -- raising achievement for all students and closing achievement gaps.
We are particularly pleased that the bill would:
- Allow use of growth models to assess individual students' academic improvement over time. This would be a significant improvement over current law, which compares one year's students to the next year's group of students.
- Return decision-making authority to school districts and states to determine the most appropriate supportive interventions for schools identified as needing intervention, thereby ensuring the most effective use of scarce resources where needed most.
- Better align NCLB and the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, by giving back to IEP teams the authority to determine the type of assessment given to a student with a disability, as well as to specify achievement benchmarks.
- Provide flexibility in testing of Limited-English Proficient students. This provision, which allows the exclusion of LEP students' math and reading scores from calculations of Adequate Yearly Progress when educationally appropriate and only with their parents' consent, builds on a policy already implemented by the U.S. Department of Education.
- Allow other states to use Nebraska's system of locally developed assessments and multiple administration of such assessments, bringing decision-making closer to the classroom.
- Provide flexibility to help special education and rural teachers who teach multiple subjects meet highly qualified requirements and help social studies and science teachers demonstrate competence in their subject matter.
We do have some suggestions to further strengthen your bill, particularly regarding assessment of students with disabilities and English Language Learners. We look forward to working with you as Congress moves forward with ESEA reauthorization.
We thank you for your leadership on these important issues.
Diane Shust, Director of Government Relations
Randall Moody, Manager of Federal Advocacy

Maybe it has something to do with that southern hospitality everyone's always talking about, or maybe there's something in the water down there, but one thing is for sure: Kentucky's own Cody Lane is living proof of Dixieland's oral affinity. With her cute-as-a-button little accent, her perky natural 36C tits, and her beautiful hazel eyes, when Cody Lane blows you, it's an experience like no other. Ever since she got her start back in 2006 at just 20 years old, she's been lighting the screen on fire with her girl-next-door good looks and her ability to maintain a cheery innocent smile even while she's got a dick in her ass and a face plastered in cum. So check out Cody Lane in some of her amazing oral and anal scenes, and the south won't be the only thing rising again!

Bathroom mirrors come in different forms, varieties and sizes. They can oval, rectangular, round and with a frame or without. Mirrors of different sizes and designs are used in bathrooms, and homeowners can adjust the size of their bathroom mirrors to suit their preferences. One prominent use of the bathroom mirror is to offer reflection under the right lighting shade.
A combination of unique and decorative mirrors can give your bathroom style. Bathroom mirrors can be purchased in a variety of finishes, prices and sizes. When buying your bathroom mirror, you should make sure that the color, type and style of your mirror compliments your bathroom lighting and the color of your tiles and walls. To offer a consistent look in your bathroom, matching the mirror frame to your bathroom lighting and coloring will provide a fine touch.
Love this goods? Then you can check its price below (it's sortable):
When selecting the right size for your bathroom mirror, you need to also consider the size of your vanity. Bathroom mirrors shouldn't be larger than your vanity, because if you use sidelights in the bathroom, the outer limit of the lighting will transcend the vanity which won't look good. Mirror rights can make a good choice for smaller bathrooms, but in a larger bathroom, an extra ceiling fixture may be necessary for general lighting.
Replacing hanging lamps can provide extra display in your bathroom. A wall or floor mounted furniture doesn't have to be long. A wall mirror can be used to give your bathroom a more dramatic finishing. Get the bathroom mirrors and change revamp that one room you visit twice each day.

Vaccine schedule safe for kids, panel says
- Institute of Medicine said delaying shots prolongs vulnerable period
- Many parents are too young to remember measles%2C polio and whooping cough
- Numerous studies fail to link vaccines and chronic diseases
Parents can have confidence about the safety of the standard childhood vaccine schedule, according to a new report from an expert panel.
The Institute of Medicine, which advises the government on health, looked into the issue due to concerns from some parents that children today receive too many vaccines, too soon.
But delaying shots only prolongs the time that babies and children are vulnerable to "devastating diseases," says co-author Pauline Thomas, an associate professor of preventive medicine at New Jersey Medical School.
"There is ample evidence that it's not safe not to follow the schedule," Thomas says. "It's well known that in places where vaccines are delayed or missed, that's where we are beginning to see vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks."
Although the majority of doctors stand firmly behind vaccination, the issue is hotly debated among parents, particularly those too young to remember scourges like measles, polio and whooping cough. To address parents' concerns, the Institute of Medicine has conducted more than 60 studies of vaccine safety since the 1970s.
Some parents say the vaccine schedule is too crowded. Under the recommended plan from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children today are vaccinated against 14 infectious diseases, receiving up to 24 vaccines by their second birthday, and up to five in one office visit.
Julie Punishill, a Connecticut mother of two, said she spaces out her children's vaccines whenever possible, instead of following the CDC's advice to give her kids multiple shots at once. Punishill says she was frightened by her nephew's reaction to a combination shot, after which he spiked a high fever for several days, became very cranky and didn't sleep much. She sees spacing out vaccines as a compromise with her husband, who didn't want to vaccinate at all.
"Neither of my girls had severe reactions," Punishill says. "They would more often than not have a 24-hour period of either being more sleepy or restless, mild temperature and crankiness."
Punishill says she would like scientists to continue to study the vaccine schedule. "Both my girls were completely vaccinated with everything they needed by the time they entered kindergarten," Punishill says. "At times this would mean monthly visits to the pediatrician's office, but I would do it again this way in a heartbeat."
Numerous studies have failed to find any evidence to link vaccines and chronic diseases, such as autoimmune problems, asthma, autism, hypersensitivity, seizures, developmental disorders, learning disorders or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, the report says. While earlier reports from the Institutes of Medicine largely focused on the safety of individual vaccines, this is the first to take a comprehensive look at the safety of the entire schedule, Thomas says.
Although 90% of children are fully vaccinated by the time they enter kindergarten, up to 40% of parents skip or space out some of their children's shots, following alternative schedules due to concerns over safety and side effects, studies show. While some parents worry about individual vaccines, others wonder about "overwhelming" the immune system, or the cumulative effect of getting so many shots. Fewer than 1% of children receive no vaccines, the report says.
Perhaps the most popular alternative schedule is found in The Vaccine Book, by pediatrician Robert Sears, which spaces out vaccines.
"I created an alternative schedule because a growing number of families are refusing vaccines, simply because they don't like the overload of so many shots together when their babies are so young," Sears said. "Instead of only offering parents an all-or-nothing approach to vaccines -- either get all the shots on the regular schedule or get nothing -- I believe that more parents will feel comfortable with vaccinating if they can do it more gradually. So, I give the most important vaccines first -- whooping cough, meningitis, rotavirus -- so that babies have protection from the riskiest diseases, but I spread the dosing out a bit. I delay vaccines that protect against diseases that American babies aren't immediately at risk of catching," such as hepatitis B and polio, he says. "This way, more parents vaccinate and more babies are protected."
Sears said the new report "really does nothing to boost parents' confidence in the full vaccine schedule, and I believe that alternative vaccine schedules will continue to be a popular choice."
Vaccine researchers Peter Hotez, the father of an autistic child, rejects Sears' schedule, noting that it has never been put to a scientific test.
The CDC schedules the timing and doses of childhood shots through careful scientific testing, to optimize children's immune response and protect them during the years when they are most vulnerable, says Hotez, who wasn't involved in the new report.
"The concept that you are going to overload a child's immune system by giving too many vaccines at once makes no sense," says Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.
Daily life — from crawling around the floor to petting a dog — exposes babies to far more antigens, the proteins that stimulate the body to produce antibodies against diseases, than vaccines.
Babies encounter billions of microbes simply leaving the birth canal, Thomas says.
Paul Offit, who developed a vaccine against rotavirus, says the Food and Drug Administration requires manufacturers to test new vaccines in combination with previously approved shots, to make sure they are safe and effective.
Contrary to online rumors, "the notion that vaccines aren't tested in combination is wrong," Offit says.
Thomas says she hopes the report will reassure parents and encourage them to fully protect their children.
"It makes no sense to alter the schedule, and in fact it is even dangerous," Hotez says. "When you play with vaccine schedules, you are playing with fire."

With the introduction of the new SWISS Taste of Switzerland food cycle on board our long-haul flights, we had the chance to interview the creative personality behind the meals: Martin Göschel from the Hotel Paradies in Ftan, canton Graubünden. If you read the article carefully, you can even win an overnight stay at his hotel.
SWISS: Which recipe have you chosen for Swiss Taste of Switzerland and why?
Martin Göschel: At the Hotel Paradies in Ftan the preparation of our meals has a strong regional leaning and we use predominantly local products. My mission was to choose three courses from two menus. A starter with mild buffalo mozzarella, sourced from water buffalo raised here in Ftan. Their milk is processed into mozzarella at a dairy in nearby Tschlin. The resulting product is very unique. For the second course we selected a fish, char, cooked "au gratin" with a crust from the "arven" tree. The "arven" is a local coniferous fir. The young shoots are comparable with thyme – they look similar and both contain essential oils. When you cook the fish au gratin in this way, you have the feeling that you are walking through the surrounding forest because the aroma there is equally wonderful. Another good example is our final dish. We have transformed the world famous Engadine nut cake into a walnut mousse, which we top with a small amount of caramel which is similar in aroma to the Engadine nut cake.
This makes me hungry. What was the biggest challenge you faced in terms of implementation?
When guests come to our restaurant, I can respond in certain regards to their wishes with the manpower I have on location. We cook everything à la minute. We cook everything totally fresh. This means, for example, that if a guest has an allergy to an ingredient in our standard recipe then I can simply delete it on the spot. Or I could cook the fish minus the skin, or prepare it in some other way. The contents of the meal would still be the same. In the air, however, the diner would probably have to choose another meal.
What do you like best about flying?
Being able to get from A to B quickly and comfortably. On the other hand, it is a wonderful experience to fly over the Alps or to see the sun come up in the morning. The return flight is actually the nicest. You know that you will soon be landing in Zurich and that the road from there leads back to Ftan. I am always happy to return to Ftan. The return journey is always a beautiful trip, enhanced by the impression and experiences of a journey.
So not the food on board?
I have never flown First or Business Class on a long-haul trip. I will do so soon however and so try it out and enjoy it. I imagine it to be quite a different experience.
Last question: What item is never lacking in your refrigerator?
Because I am always at work in the kitchen during normal main meal times and therefore always have food around me, you won't find much in my fridge except a bottle of good wine and some yoghurt for breakfast. I take most of my meals at my place of work. The refrigerator there looks rather different.
Thank you very much!

Beg Borrow and Steal
Palm Springs, CA
Beg Borrow and Steal is the first exhibition to be installed simultaneously in the Palm Springs Art Museum and the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert in The Galen building. Originally organized by the Rubell family for an immense, annual installation from their permanent collection that coincides with the international art scene surrounding Art Basel in Miami, the exhibition has been refined to accommodate the museum's galleries. This selection includes paintings, sculptures, photographs, and videos by fifty-eight artists from the Rubell Family Collection/Contemporary Arts Foundation. It surveys most of the artists included in the original installation, with an emphasis on those working on the west coast, especially Los Angeles. The Southern California focus is significant, not only for its relevance to our Palm Springs location, but also because the region has had a formidable influence on the use of appropriation in art, the subject of the exhibition.
As the director of the collection explains in the exhibition catalogue, in 2005 the Rubells had a series of conversations with artists Kelley Walker and Wade Guyton, who talked about the generosity of some artists in the nature of their work. Walker and Guyton described how artists like Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp and Richard Prince opened doors for other younger artists like themselves to walk through. The Rubells had never heard that opinion expressed as honestly before. This show was borne out of those conversations, and its title comes from a quote attributed to Picasso: "Good artists borrow, great artists steal."
Beg Borrow and Steal brings together artists from different generations whose works abandon the search for new visuals, seeking instead an inventive use of existing images, signs, and cultural symbols. Artists in the exhibition who established this artistic lexicon include Ai Weiwei, Marcel Duchamp, Robert Gober, Jenny Holzer, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Paul McCarthy, Takashi Murakami, Charles Ray, Andy Warhol, and Christopher Wool. Not surprisingly, photography plays a significant role in much of the work, which is represented in the exhibition by artists John Baldessari, Barbara Kruger, Sherrie Levine, Robert Longo, Richard Prince, David Salle, and Cindy Sherman. This group has been called the "pictures generation" due to their manipulations of photographic imagery.
Subsequent artists have taken advantage of technical innovations and web-based access that have made multi-layered and densely informed reproduction a ubiquitous cultural phenomenon. Notably, many of the younger artists in the exhibition live and work in Los Angeles, reflecting its importance as a center for this new aesthetic language. They include Amy Bessone, Aaron Curry, Karl Haendel, Richard Hawkins, Thomas Houseago, Elad Lassry, Nathan Mabry, Stephen G. Rhodes, and Sterling Ruby. The exhibition thus presents a visual dialogue among internationally recognized older and younger artists who share a use of appropriated imagery. Their works contribute to the discussion of how borrowing – and stealing – can be a way to comment on the past and still create something new.
This exhibition is organized by the Rubell Family Collection, Miami, in conjunction with the Palm Springs Art Museum, and is funded in part by Donna MacMillan, and the museum's Contemporary Art and Photography Collection Councils.

That was the double header at Gillette Stadium on Saturday. The crowd was down for the international because Ireland, (who is normally a huge draw in Boston), came with the squad of youngsters trying for a spot on the A team. Very few of the regular Revs fans made an effort to see much of that game. We were all content to spend a little extra time in the lot, prepping for the Revs.
Kansas City has a very good record in New England. Not losing since Sept. of 99. After the Revs struck early twice, KC came roaring back to keep the streak going. A 4-3 victory for the Wizards. The "Fort", which is where "The" Midnight Riders reside, was spot on and loud for this one. Probably from the extra time tailgating. The exception of course was a free kick taken by our deteriorating Bermuda striker, Khano Smith The shot was hard, but it was so far off target it drew reactions like this
"On the bright side, at least it stayed in the stadium, and no unsuspecting fan was injured."
"It was unbelievable. The crowd hardly re-acted for a few seconds because we didnt believe it was an actual free kick. I was thinking maybe there was an extra ball on the field and he was just getting rid of that one. Nope. He is just an awful player."
"After that horrendous kick, he and Ralston lined up for a free kick about the 18 yard line. No doubt Ralston was going to take it (eventually off the post) but I wanted some kind of warning if Smith was going to take it because I wanted time to move my car from the West lot in case it got hit by the ball."
Many of the fans take a loss by the team personal. It must be a younger persons thing. Going to the games and getting to know the hometown players and those around the league is fun and interesting. But getting too happy with a win or upset with a loss, just doesn't happen for me any more.
Sue and I spent some time with the dogs at the pound. She is a volunteer there, which by default makes me a volunteer. When the kennels were finally cleaned, the dogs were properly played with and picked up after, and they were given their treats of peanut butter on a graham cracker, we decided on an afternoon bike ride to the city. It was her initiation into urban riding. Traffic was lighter than usual because it was Sunday, but heavier than Sundays because of the holiday.
Taking the lead involved talking her into taking control of the lanes when it was necessary. Also portaging the bikes at the bridge, crossing a busy highway at the "quick" traffic light. Backtrack on a couple of one way streets and a few other common and uncommon techniques. I heard lots of complaining behind me. Things like, "I'll never ride with you again.' 'This is crazy and not safe". After a little explaining and a gentle reminder that I do this every day, she came around. All that is needed is some experience riding in traffic to show how easy it really is. No more getting off the bike at every left turn for her. Signal and take the lane. That's our motto.
Both days are on the video. There is some uncommon music thanks to limewire and bit torrent.

Although the 2013 Toyota Camry doesn't always finish first in our comparison tests, that hasn't stopped it from being the best-selling midsize sedan for the past several years. With three powertrain options, including a hybrid model, the Camry offers customers power and/or fuel economy. The base 2.5-liter I-4 makes 178 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque and is rated 25/35 mpg city/highway. A 3.5-liter V-6 with 268 hp and 248 lb-ft is available for those who want more power, though the fuel economy rating drops to 21/31 mpg. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission The hybrid powertrain combines a 156-hp version of the 2.5-liter engine with an electric motor making 141 hp and 199 lb-ft for a combined output of 200 hp. Power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT and the hybrid is rated 40-43/38-39 mpg depending on trim level.
In a late-2012 comparison test, the four-cylinder Camry finished fifth out of six contenders; ahead of the Chevrolet Malibu and behind the Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, and Volkswagen Passat. While we acknowledged the Camry's strengths such as "a genuinely huge and inviting rear seat, impressive real-world fuel efficiency (we observed 26.1 mpg), a full complement of conveniences, and aggressive pricing," it was knocked for a poorly executed package and lack of passion with many details appearing to be made to a price point and not up to the standard of some of its competitors. In a three-way comparison, the four-cylinder Camry finished last behind the redesigned Honda Accord and new 2014 Mazda6. Its third place finish was summed up by saying, "Dated styling, numb steering, and a stiff ride undermine this best-seller's attributes."
In a 2012 comparison, the second place Camry SR V6 finished ahead of the Hyundai Sonata SE 2.0T and behind the Volkswagen Passat SEL VR6. While we were impressed with its sub-6.0 second 0-60 mph run and competent handling, we noted that with the stiff suspension the "ride suffers, relaying just about every bump in the road." In another three-way comparison, the 2012 Camry Hybrid XLE again finished in second place ahead of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and behind the Volkswagen Passat TDI SE. While the Camry Hybrid was the fastest of the trio, the "driving experience less satisfying and memorable than the Passat's and an interior that, while ergonomically sound and of high quality, came across too overwrought, what with big steering wheel-mounted controls and extra-large buttons and knobs decorating the center stack. Otherwise, this new hybrid is arguably the best Camry ever."
After a thorough redesign for the 2012 model year, the 2013 Camry carries over unchanged. The 2012 redesign brought updated styling inside and out with sharper exterior lines including on the new front fascia and taillights. Inside, the cabin was restyled with upgraded materials and Toyota's new Entune infotainment system became available on SE and XLE models. Each of the powertrains was updated for more power, better fuel economy, or both. The 2013 Toyota sedan has a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars) and is considered a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS for cars built after November 2012.
The 2013 Toyota Camry carries over as the popular midsize sedan was redesigned for 2012. Edgier styling, new options, and more power and efficiency separate the current Camry from the previous generation.

Natural Medicinal Sources
1) Mineral Springs:
The Cross Spring (Křížový pramen) - In view of its therapeutic effects, this spring is primarily used for the treatment of disorders of the digestive tract (stomach complaints, intestines disorders, gall bladder complaints, and liver and pancreas disorders), metabolic disorders (obesity, gout, diabetes mellitus) and allergies related to digestion disorders. The sulphate content in the water has a laxative effect.
The Ferdinand Spring (Ferdinandův pramen) - consists of seven individual springs, of which the spring Ferdinand I is accessible for drinking. Its composition is very similar to the Cross Spring; but the mineral content is somewhat higher. The Ferdinand Springs is bottled and served as table water under the brand name of Excelsior.
The Forest Spring (Lesní pramen) - is used as medicinal drinking water to cure disorders of the gastro-intestinal tract, and it is also used for inhalation to cure disorders of the upper respiratory tract. In addition, it is suitable for curing certain types of urological disorders, such as uric-acid stones, since the water strongly alkalises the acid.
The Rudolph Spring (Rudolfův pramen) - Due to its diuretic eff ect, it is used to treat kidney complaints and disorders of the urinary tract. The spring has a very high level of calcium (the ratio of calcium and magnesium being 5:4). Therefore, the mineral drinking water is recommended as a supplementary therapy in the treatment of osteoporosis. Its distinctive anti-infl ammatory eff ects make it useful in treating urethritis.
The Ambrose Spring (Ambrožův pramen) - consists of three individual springs, all of which have very similar chemical compositions. The waters are ferrous acidulous and have a low mineral content. Due to their high ferric content, they are used to cure certain forms of anaemia and its diuretic eff ects make it useful in treating some urinary tract disorders, lithiasis in particular.
The Caroline Spring (Karolinin pramen) - due to its higher content of magnesium (the ratio of calcium and magnesium content being 2:5), the Caroline Spring water is used for treatment of urological complaints and kidney stones. The magnesium contained in the water prevents the formation of these concrements.
2) Natural medicinal gas CO2
The Marie Spring (Mariin pramen) - is actually a powerful gas seepage (99.7% natural CO2). The natural medicinal gas is applied in the form of dry carbon gas baths. This spa treatment is becoming more and more popular since guests not only show lower blood pressure, an improvement of heart activity and improved blood circulation in the lower extremities, but also a significant improvement of sexual activities. In addition, this natural medicinal gas is also applied in the form of hypodermic applications as a part of the treatment of joint disorders, spine problems and heart ischaemia.
3) Peloids - peat, mud
Peloids are inorganic and organic pottages, which are, after certain modification and heating, used for compresses and wraps. They are made of peat and other mud, which can be found around springs. The material is stocked in piles, where it oxidises in a certain way. Then it is modifi ed and mixed with mineral water and steamed. It is used for 20 – 30 minutes once it reaches the temperature 40° C. Peat wraps are used for treating locomotive system disorders, gynaecologic complaints and respiratory system disorders. Special additional treatment is off ered in the form of peat vaginal tampons, which are used for curing chronic gynaecologic inflammations and sterility in women.
Spa resort Vltava is located in a quiet area with a beautiful view of the spa town's panorama. The resort comprises of the buildings Vltava and Berounka, which are connected by corridors and the annex Vítkov.

Branch Drop-off Location to Close Friday Night
Residents collecting branches and debris caused by April's ice storm will have one less place to dispose of them.
The branch drop-off site at the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds will close Friday night. Sioux Falls city officials say wood waste grinding soon will begin at 301 North Lyon Boulevard, so the city will permanently close the public branch drop-off site near the Fairgrounds at 7 p.m.
For safety reasons, citizens are asked to stay away from sites where wood waste grinding is occurring, and the City says closing the site will allow for more efficient grinding operations.
The other three public branch drop-off sites are still open. They are located at the Sanitary Landfill west of Sioux Falls, next to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility on East Chambers Street and at 69th and Cliff.
The wood waste from the grinding operation is not available to the public, but wood mulch is available to residents at no charge at the three public drop-off sites that remain open.

Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?
There has been no society in the history of the world that has ever been 100% safe. No matter how much money the federal government spends on "homeland security", the truth is that bad things will still happen. Our world is a very dangerous place and it is becoming increasingly unstable. The federal government could turn the entire country into one giant prison camp, but that would still not keep us safe. It is inevitable that bad stuff will happen in life. But we have a choice. We can choose to live in fear or we can choose to live as free men and women. Our forefathers intended to establish a nation where liberty and freedom would be maximized. But today we are told that we have to give up our liberties and our freedoms and our privacy for increased security. But is such a trade really worth it? Just think of the various totalitarian societies that we have seen down throughout history. Have any of them ever really thrived? Have their people been happy? Unfortunately, the U.S. federal government has decided that the entire country needs to be put on lock down. Nearly everything that we do today is watched and tracked, and personal privacy is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Many of the things that George Orwell wrote about in 1984 are becoming a reality, and that is a very frightening thing. The United States is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Sadly, we are rapidly becoming the exact opposite of that.
I don't know about you, but I never signed up to live in North Korea. When I was growing up I was taught that repressive regimes such as North Korea are "the bad guys" and that America is where "the good guys" live.
So why do we want to be just like North Korea?

It's easy to get the wrong idea about Dungen. They're from Sweden, they're self-proclaimed 'psychedelic rockers', they look like how you'd imagine the hypothetical lovechild of the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson and the male members of the Dandy Warhols to look and their name suggests that they were probably playing American enormodromes with Whitesnake and Def Leppard back in the 1980s.
This preconception is rubbish though. For nigh on nine years Dungen have been creating some of the most groundbreaking and underground music around. 4 funnily enough is the outfit's fourth long player and sees them far surpassing anything they've done before. The ten tracks making up the album are not so much tracks, but more movements, each flowing seamlessly into the next, yet each one still retaining its own atmosphere. 4 sees Dungen mark out two very different music personalities, on one hand the raw, psych-garage stoner riffs, complete with Hendrix guitar yelps and Sabbath fuzz and with the switch of a Big Muff the band suddenly enter '70s B-movie soundtrack territory; - jazz fusion progressions, calypso flutes and dramatic time-signature changes. Nothing showcases this musical schizophrenia so well as opener 'Satt Att Se', the opening swathes of swirling guitar and lounge-room piano gradually building up to a cacophony of fuzz, feedback and fucked up backward pianos.
Throughout 4, the band effortlessly swing between these two extremes; 'Ingenting Ar Sig Likt' sees the band in an almost Northern Soul-tinged mood, whereas tracks like 'Maleras' adopt more familiar Dungen territory, a cross between Kyuss and early Led Zeppelin.
Never once do Dungen verge on pretension, sure their songs are grandiose and there are more ideas in 4 than most bands muster up in their whole career but then are pulled off so successfully that one can't doubt that they are there for any other reason other than furthering the band's sound. Similarly, Dungen lack the retro shtick and refusal to move forwards like Wolfmother and so many of their counterparts. I bet you a twenty that you won't hear a more intelligent album in the next year.

Pixar's Brave, distributed by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, debuted at No. 1 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart for the week ended Nov. 18, The Hollywood Reporter said.
The studio's latest CG-animated hit, which grossed $236.6 million at the domestic box office, also topped VideoScan's dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart for the week.
Sony Pictures' The Amazing Spider-Man, in its first full week of release, dropped a slot to No. 2 on both charts after debuting in the top spot the previous week following its Friday, Nov. 9 street date. The Marvel superhero actioner sold 28.5 percent as many total copies as Brave and 34.8 percent as many Blu-ray copies.
For Brave, 51 percent of units sold came in the Blu-ray format and 12 percent of all units sold were of the 3D version, compared with 62 percent and 15 percent for Amazing Spider-Man, respectively.
No. 3 on both charts went to Universal's Savages, the latest Oliver Stone film, and No. 4 went to Fox's sci-fi comedy The Watch; both are new releases.
On Home Media Magazine's weekly rental chart, the top three titles remained unchanged from the previous week, with Amazing Spider-Man at No. 1, Fox's Prometheus at No. 2 and Sony's Arthur Christmas at No. 3.
The Lionsgate actioner Fire With Fire rose to No. 4 on the strength of greater exposure at Redbox. Likewise, Warner's The Campaign rose from No. 79 to No. 7 in its third week of release due to titles being stocked at Redbox kiosks as a workaround to the usual embargo Warner imposes on Redbox and Netflix.
