Listeria threat prompts chicken salad recallUnion Leader staff
October 25. 2013 9:46PM
CONCORD — Boston Salads and Provisions Company Inc. is recalling approximately 223,000 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken salad products due to possible contamination with listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The products were produced by the Boston company between Aug. 23 and Oct. 14 and shipped to wholesalers for distribution to retail locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services is not aware of any illnesses in the state related to this recall, officials said in a news release.
Case labels or packaging may bear the sell by dates ranging from "9/13/2013" through "11/4/2013" as well as the establishment number "P-17999" inside the USDA inspection mark. Although product included in the recall may be expired, FSIS is concerned that some may be frozen in consumer or retail freezers.
The problem was discovered by routine sampling that led to further testing and confirmation of product contamination with listeria. Additional recalls may occur as the investigation continues, health officials said.
A list of recalled products to date is available at the USDA's Food Recall website www.fsis.usda.gov.
If consumers have any of these products at home they are advised to discard them immediately and not eat them. Infection with listeriosis can produce such symptoms as fever, muscle aches, and sometimes nausea and vomiting.
Below is a list of retail locations in New Hampshire that the Department of Agicutulre is aware distributed the recalled items: Mr. Mike's stores in Contoocook, Fitzwilliam, Winchester, Dover, Bow, Manchester, Peterborough, Stoddard and Jaffery; Dodges Country Store in New Boston; The Corner Deli & Pizza in Pelham; Exit 3 Travel Stop in Portsmouth; Phillips Academy Grill in Exeter; Lavallee Oil in Suncook; Dover Paint and Varnish; Newbury Quick Stop; Spofford Pizza; Willy B's Take Out in Manchester.

Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin. 100% Natural. Sulfate Free. With calming Lavender and Oat Kernel Extract. Gentle formulation is ideal for cold weather climates.
Availability: In stock
Gently cleanse and purify skin with this 100% natural facial cleanser for sensitive skin. Free of parabens, sulfates, detergents, fragrance and dyes, Sensi Wash combines patented oat kernel extract complex and lavender essential oil to soothe skin and reduce irritation while thoroughly removing any impurities. The results are fresh and healthy skin. Suitable for irritated, dehydrated, rosacea, and the most sensitive skin types. Also relieves redness and blotchiness. Ideal for cold or dry weather.
To Use: AM/PM. Massage directly onto skin and rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with recommended Sonya Dakar® product.
Those who live in extreme weather areas must change their skin regimen when the weather turns cold. Extremes in weather -- both hot and cold -- can exacerbate some existing skin conditions or even cause new ones. Cold temperatures often mean low humidity, which dries out skin. Bitterly cold winds can also strip moisture from exposed skin.
Use a milder facial cleanser made for sensitive skin, and a heavier moisturizer. Apply a rich moisturizing mask for 5-10 minutes at least twice per week. Avoid long soaks in the tub, don't let the water get too hot. Again, use a mild body wash that is sulfate free. Finally, moisturize as needed throughout the day. You will notice an immediate improvement to the condition of your skin.
The following are easy to follow guidelines that should greatly decrease the severity and frequency of flare-ups, which also may decrease the need for anti-inflammatory medicine. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Eczema is usually dry and itchy, so applying moisturizers as needed to keep the skin moist is part of an effective treatment plan. Frequent moisturizing locks in the skin's own moisture to prevent dryness and cracking.
1. One of the best ways to lock in moisture is to apply moisturizer after bathing. When bathing, care must be taken to avoid irritating the skin.
2. Limit contact with anything that irritates the skin. Soaps, bubble bath, perfumes, cosmetics, laundry detergents, household cleaners, too much time spent in water, finger paints, gasoline, turpentine, wool, a pet's fur, juices from meats and fruits, plants, jewelry, and even lotions can irritate sensitive skin. Know what irritates your skin and limit contact with all that does. Avoiding personal-care products that contain alcohol, artificial color or sulfates. Specialized products such as a facial cleanser for sensitive skin will help avoid further flare-ups.
3. Avoid sweating and overheating. The most common triggers of the scratch/itch cycle are sweating and overheating. It is essential to prevent these situations whenever possible.
4. Avoid sudden changes in temperature and humidity. A sudden rise in temperature can cause overheating and sweating. A drop in humidity can dry skin and lead to a flare-up.
5. Grab a cold compress to curb the itch. Scratching makes the condition worse and may puncture skin allowing bacteria to enter and cause an infection. Gently applying a cold compress to the area that itches can reduce inflammation and lessen the desire to scratch.

The LM185-2.5-N/LM285-2.5-N/LM385-2.5-N are micropower 2-terminal band-gap voltage
regulator diodes. Operating over a 20 μA to 20 mA current range, they feature exceptionally low
dynamic impedance and good temperature stability. On-chip trimming is used to provide tight voltage
tolerance. Since the LM-185-2.5-N band-gap reference uses only transistors and resistors, low noise
and good long term stability result.
Careful design of the LM185-2.5-N has made the device exceptionally tolerant of
capacitive loading, making it easy to use in almost any reference application. The wide dynamic
operating range allows its use with widely varying supplies with excellent regulation.
The extremely low power drain of the LM185-2.5-N makes it useful for micropower
circuitry. This voltage reference can be used to make portable meters, regulators or general
purpose analog circuitry with battery life approaching shelf life. Further, the wide operating
current allows it to replace older references with a tighter tolerance part. For applications
requiring 1.2V see LM185-1.2.
The LM185-2.5-N is rated for operation over a −55°C to 125°C temperature range while the
LM285-2.5-N is rated −40°C to 85°C and the LM385-2.5-N 0°C to 70°C. The LM185-2.5-N/LM285-2.5-N are
available in a hermetic TO package and the LM285-2.5-N/LM385-2.5-N are also available in a low-cost
TO-92 molded package, as well as SOIC and SOT-23. The LM185-2.5-N is also available in a hermetic
leadless chip carrier package.

The Good News is the Bad News is Wrong About U.S.-China Relations
After more than a decade of intimate economic relations, China and the United States have become deeply intertwined. Historian Zachary Karabell maintains that while neither country is fully at ease with this partnership, the occasional tension over intellectual property, human rights, and regional strategy pales in comparison to the deepening and on-going economic bonds that tie the two countries together.
Karabell sits on the board of the World Policy Institute and the New America Foundation. Among his books is Superfusion: How America and China Became One.

Homeless boy shot while protecting sister
A Sacramento mother said her son was shot three times Sunday while protecting his 2-year-old sister from gunfire at a birthday party.
"My son instantly blew cover and went over (to) his 2-year-old sister. He thought to protect her -- basically his body covering her," Carrie Joe said. "That's why I tell people he's my hero. He protected my baby. I hate that this happened to him because he didn't deserve it at all. My baby is a good child. He deserves to have his childhood and be able to play at parks."
Now the family, which is homeless, hopes to have a home for when the boy leaves the hospital, and there is help toward reaching that goal.
Councilmember Allen Warren is stepping in to help and has already raised money to help all three victims of Sunday's shooting. To donate, call Warren's office at 916-808-7002.
No arrests have been made in the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sacramento Police Department.

Market Basket shelves take hit as employees at distribution office walk out
By TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
Grocery clerk Zach Farmer waits to hand out fliers Saturday to customers leaving Market Basket store No. 21 in Portsmouth. The flier said the board members have the authority to reinstate ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas. (Mike Lawrence/Union Leader Correspondent)
Market Basket workers rally, urged to 'shut it down' until ousted CEO returns
Eight Market Basket execs fired
- At the Market Basket he manages on Elm Street, Peter Gulezian pointed to a case that normally holds ready-to-heat dinners.
In the wake of employees at the supermarket chain's distribution office walking out on their jobs in protest over the firing of revered former CEO Arthur T. Demoulas, that case instead held dozens of bottles of water on Saturday.
"We don't have any product to make these dinners with," said Gulezian, whose name tag tells customers that he has 31 "proud years" with the company.
That pride took a hit last month, when Demoulas was ousted by the company's board of directors after years of infighting among the Demoulas family, including Demoulas' cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas, who gained control of the board of directors. The walkout by headquarters and distribution employees has one goal: to force the board to reinstate Arthur T. Demoulas, whose likeness and the phrase "I believe" has been reproduced on posters that hang throughout the chain's 72 stores.
"That's all we're asking for," said Robin Jarvis, a 36-year employee and a manager of the Market Basket store on Storrs Street in Concord. Jarvis said that, in his 3½ decades, he'd never heard of an employee's job being threatened until the company's new co-CEOs, Felicia Thornton and Jim Gooch, distributed a memo last week saying that anyone who walked out would be "permanently" replaced.
"Things have already changed," Jarvis said.
About 1,000 company managers, employees and supporters rallied Friday at the grocery chain's headquarters in Tewksbury, Mass., where warehouse staff and truck drivers have threatened to stop deliveries until Demoulas is reinstated.
Christopher Mackin, a faculty member of the Harvard Trade Union Program, a lecturer at Rutgers University School of Management and founder of Ownership Associates, which specializes in employee-owned companies, was at the rally.
The workers, he said, "are acting like owners even though, legally, they are not. They are asserting their ownership psychologically and emotionally, and that's worth something."
Mackin said that one possible solution might be for Demoulas and the workers to break away from the Market Basket chain and launch their own company.
However the conflict ends, Mackin added, the fight for Market Basket is unlike anything he has witnessed during his long career, and he praised the workers for their passion.
"This is courage like I have never seen," he said.
Market Basket has about 25,000 employees across New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine. Attempts to contact corporate management Saturday were unsuccessful.
Here's how the situation looked Saturday at a variety of New Hampshire stores.
In Manchester
Lettuce, cat litter, fresh fish, blueberries and those red, plastic Solo cups were among many items also either out or emptying fast.
"We pride ourselves on our appearance," manager Gulezian said as he passed by the drinks aisle, where Gatorade was running low. "This is not us."
The only fresh fish left in the seafood department were some tilapia filets and shellfish.
"Those will be gone by tomorrow," he said. To make up for the lack of fresh fish, employees took frozen fish, thawed it and sold it as "previously frozen."
The Elm Street store had several signs up providing associates, vendors and customers with the email addresses of Thornton, Gooch and other executives, encouraging people to "tell them what you think."
Customer Joy Pinciaro told Gulezian herself, "We support you guys," she said after she and her daughter, Chelsea, passed by a case containing just a few bunches of asparagus.
In Plaistow
The support for Arthur T. Demoulas was clear, as photos of him were placed outside and inside. Store director Gene Crochetiere, a 38-year veteran of the company, and several other employees were also wearing buttons with a photo of Demoulas.

The Walrus Says
Aspaghetti supper with all the fixings will be served
this Sunday, April 2, at a fund-raiser to help longtime Jamestown resident Nancy Williams Maloney.
The event will take place at the Portuguese American Citizens' Club from 5 to 8 p.m. Tickets sell for $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. They are available at Baker's Pharmacy or can be purchased at the door.
The fare includes pasta with traditional meat sauce or a vegetarian meatless version.
Nancy's family and friends are organizing the fund-raiser to help with growing medical costs caused by a recurring bout of cancer. She is the daughter of Bert and Marie Williams and grew up on the island with her 11 siblings.
In addition to the dinner, there will be a raffle and silent auction with all prizes awarded after 8 p.m. Winners not in attendance will be notified by phone.
Money donations can be sent directly to the Nancy Williams Maloney Fund, c/o 51 Southwest Ave., Jamestown 02835.
Questions? Call Linda O'Connell at 423-0751, or Theresa Botelho, 683-3108.
Islanders baking for the Maloney fund-raiser, but are unable to deliver their baked goods to the PAC Club, can have the items picked up by Ginny Perry. Call her at 423-0694. The goodies can also be taken directly to the PAC Sunday morning.
Kudos to Jamestown School sixth-graders Jacob Gomez and Bruce Page. The students in their class are pen pals with kids in Kenya, Africa, where islanders Amara Murray and her husband are volunteering. The couple had told the class that there is little money for medical and educational needs.
Last Saturday, Jacob and Bruce set up a bake sale, which they had organized themselves, in front of McQuade's market to raise money for the Kenya youngsters.
They had hoped to surprise their teacher with what was earned, but they were spotted by her when she went shopping at the market.
"The two of them sacrificed their Saturday to sit in the drizzle to raise money for the tiny village of Ugunja in Kenya," teacher Beth Weibust enthused. "Jamestown kids are the best."
You don't have to be a sixthgrader to help out. Anyone can donate by making out the check to Amara Murray and sending it to her home address of 1053 E. Shore Rd., Jamestown, 02835. Great job, guys.
Season allergies are something that people and dogs both have to deal with, says Dr. Joshua Hatch of the Jamestown Animal Clinic in his Pet Tip of the Week.
"If you notice that every spring your pet Fluffy starts licking or chewing at his or her feet or legs or scratching at their ears or sides then maybe your pet has allergies, too. Regular bathing with a gentle shampoo or oatmeal based shampoo every week or two may be enough to help your pet.
Cleaning the feet between the toes, and cleaning the ears on a daily or almost daily basis will keep them dry and cuts back on the chances of an infection or moist dermatitis caused by the licking and moisture.
Your veterinarian may also suggest antihistamine therapy, skin supplements, medicated shampoos, or allergy testing if your dog is really suffering.
So, let your veterinarian know if Fluffy has signs of allergies because prevention will save you and your pet's time, money and discomfort in the future." Thanks, Doctor. WOOF!!
Jamestown School eighthgraders will be putting their nolonger needed CDs, movies, and books up for sale to raise money for their class trip to Washington, D.C., in June.
At this writing, plans were still underway for a class yard sale to be held Saturday, April 8, from 9 a.m. to noon in the parking lot of the school on Melrose Avenue.
The money will help pay for incidentals that occur during the trip. Save the date and stay tuned for more details.
When letter carrier Peter Mullen came to our door Saturday morning, we commented on the cold, raw day. His learned reply, based on years of hoofing it through the four seasons, was, "Patience is the key."
Tomorrow is the last day to get your donation to Jim Pemantell, who is running in next month's Boston Marathon on behalf of the Adeline LaPlante Memorial Center. Make your check out to the center and drop it off at Jim's house, 224 Narragansett Ave. Give him a hug, too.
For those involved in the shooting last fall of the documentary about the '38 Hurricane, the production is now in the final stages of editing.
Sonya Bieler reports she has been in contact with Producer Jason Bolicki at Towers Productions in Chicago, and he said the final version will soon go the the History Channel.
"Apparently, the History Channel loves everything it's seen so far, especially the re-creation of 1930s life that was shot in Jamestown and Newport. Jason thinks everyone in Jamestown who tunes in will be very happy," Sonya said.
No air date has been set yet, but September is a good bet. Stay tuned.
We realized that things were getting out of hand when one morning grandson Tom came downstairs and told me, "Gramp, I can't sleep anymore. It sounds like they're having all-night parties up there."
The "they" are squirrels. We knew a couple were in the attic because Tom chased them out a couple of times and attempted to seal up the access hole. But, no luck, they would get back in by going through the patch. We admit to being lax, thinking they would appreciate a warm place to spend the winter. It might have worked out if they hadn't invited their friends.
Tom went back into the attic and discovered they weren't partying up there, they were taking the house apart.
Time for action. We borrowed a small trap from Nick Robertson, but after one night in place we determined it was smaller than the rodents. We borrowed a bigger one from Alice Dunn. Tom rigged it up, put some salted nuts and sunflower seeds inside, and we waited.
Monday morning there was the sound of metal banging against wood as a large squirrel tried to work his way out of the trap. Tom put the cage in the back of the truck and we headed up North Road.
Keep in mind we decided that should we catch the house invaders we would repay their hours of internment by taking them to more affluent neighborhoods.
We had determined the first one would go to the North End. He came out of the cage like a cannon in East Passage. He never looked back.
Tuesday we took one to Ft. Wetherill thinking there would be a lot of scraps there from the tourists.
Wednesday's captive found Ft. Getty to his liking as he bounded off to the Lt. Col. John C. Rembijas Memorial Pavilion. Thursday's rodent went out to Beavertail and when released made a bee-line for some pretty heavy brush right next to a multimillion dollar house.
Friday's squirrel also went to Ft. Getty but we shot him out closer to the trailer park so he can spend the hot summer days with the campers.
Thanks to Tom, we had five squirrels off the property in five days. So, we didn't need any of those highfalutin pest control types. (One quoted me $80 per trap and $80 per squirrel. That would have been $480)
Mim says that all five have probably arranged to rendezvous at the PAC Club and come back together.
No way, but come to think of it, that big fellow hanging upside down on our bird feeder this morning did look a little familiar.
Saturday is All Fools' Day.
Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday. Spring ahead, fall back.
*** Be true!
We welcome your contributions to this column. Any kind of stuff will do. Call us at 423-0383 or our cell, 829-2760. E-mail us at email@example.com, or drop the item off at the Jamestown Press.

When you are seeking to borrow a sum of money, it is important that you analyze your finances carefully so that you know whether you are able to support the loan repayments without landing yourself in more debt.
As more and more lenders enter the market to offer you loan products of every conceivable type, sometimes it is easy to be tempted by their offers for so-called free loans for the unemployed or interest-free cash advance with bad credit. Therefore, if a person is in the market to get a 5000 dollar with no credit check, he or she should first understand what are the avenues available, and at what cost.
To get a fast loan of $5000, the traditional means of getting an unsecured signature personal loan from banks are still the preferred choice for consumers who can rely on their good credit standings to achieve their aim of borrowing money with low interest. One could easily visit the website of a bank and apply for online bank loans with instant approval. If you are already a customer of a bank that has offered you credit facilities like cash advance overdraft services, you could tap into this to borrow 5000 dollars instantly if the amount falls within your credit limit. Alternatively, you can also arrange to apply for a 5000 dollar installment loan that allows you to payback within 2 to 3 years.
However, if you fail into the group of people who have fair or bad credit or have little access to mainstream credit, trying to borrow 5000 dollars with no credit check may prove futile with traditional lenders.
In such cases, you can search within private sources for loans with bad credit. In private loan lending, a market which is dominated by online payday loan companies and smaller direct money lenders, high interest is synonymous with them. An unsecured $5000 loan with no credit check will not come cheap as these type of unsecured personal loans are deemed as high risk. If you need to borrow 5000 dollars quickly but knowing you have poor credit, you have to make sure that the APR on the $5000 bad credit high risk loan is something that you can live with.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has signed a new contract worth $120.6 million over six years, making him the highest paid player in NFL history.
The Super Bowl MVP finalized the deal Monday. Flacco will receive a $29 million signing bonus and $52 million in guaranteed money.
Flacco says, "It's not really about the money, it's about that respect."
The 28-year-old Flacco threw 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions during the postseason and led the Ravens to a Super Bowl win over San Francisco.
That probably helped him in negotiations, but Flacco says, "I think I'm an asset to this team. ... The fact that we won the Super Bowl just comes with that. If we didn't win the Super Bowl this year, I still think I'm worth the same."

This morning (Monday) I pumped only 2.5 oz combined and just now I only pumped 2 oz. As of the end of last week I was easily pumping 5 oz at a time!
My baby is a few days shy of 10 mos old. Is this the dreaded 9-month slump? I was determined not to have this happen to me . She has been eating a LOT more solids lately and has been less interested in both nursing and bottles at daycare. If this continues, I'm less worried about keeping up with her bottle needs (I also have a bit of a stash and she is taking less and less from the bottle at daycare) than I am about her weaning completely. If she's only going to get a couple of oz when she nurses, is there a chance she'll stop altogether?? Help!!!!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Doug O'Neill's first full day at Churchill Downs already has him feeling like he could achieve something special in the Kentucky Derby.
Back at the track for the first time since winning last year's Derby with I'll Have Another, the trainer is thinking about winning another Run for the Roses.
And why not?
This time around, the trainer has Goldencents, who like I'll Have Another, comes into the Saturday's Derby off a victory in the Santa Anita Derby.
"It's great to be back," O'Neill said. "It's wonderful looking at the twin spires and dreaming of what could be coming on May 4."
Goldencents has O'Neill looking forward to Saturday, especially after the 3-year-old colt took his first jog around the track. A day after making the cross-country flight from California, the colt co-owned by Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino jogged a leisurely mile with exercise rider Jonny Garcia aboard. Jockey Kevin Krigger looked on.
"He looked great," O'Neill said before showers passed over the track following the jog. "We just had an easy day with him, but I was real happy with the way he looked, Jonny was happy with the way he felt. If all goes well, we'll gallop him tomorrow."
Goldencents had his last workout Thursday at Santa Anita, covering six furlongs in 1:16.20 at Santa Anita. Most notable about the workout was covering the final three furlongs in 36.00, boosting O'Neill's Derby outlook.
Goldencents has won two of three starts this year and totals four wins in six career races. After a fourth-place finish in the San Felipe Stakes, the colt rebounded with a 1 1/4-length win over Flashback in the Santa Anita Derby.
Krigger has been the regular rider and will have a chance on Saturday to become the first African-American jockey to win the Derby since 1902.
Though Krigger wasn't sure if he'd get aboard Goldencents before Saturday, O'Neill has about 10 mounts planned for him so the jockey becomes familiar with the track and its surface.
"I'm happy either way how we do it, so it doesn't really matter to me if I do or not," Krigger said. "I would like to, though."
Also, Florida Derby runner-up Itsmyluckyday jogged just over a mile following his van trip from Florida. The Holy Bull winner had his last workout Thursday at Calder Race Course, clocking 53:00 over four furlongs before making an 18-hour van trip to Kentucky.
Exercise rider Peter Shelton said Itsmyluckyday was bouncing and eager to keep going during his jog, just the kind of enthusiasm trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. was looking for.
"Everything went according to the plan that we had," Plesa said by phone. "It couldn't have gone any better."
The only Derby contender to post a workout Sunday was Code West, who went five furlongs in 1:00.40 under Hall of Famer Mike Smith. The workout pleased trainer Bob Baffert following the horse's sixth-place run in the Louisiana Derby, but Code West's status for the Derby will be determined after Baffert meets with owner Gary West.
The Derby field is limited to 20 starters. Code West is one of three horses tied for 20th in the qualifying points with 20, so it's uncertain whether he would make the field.
"Our options are the Derby, the Preakness, the Peter Pan," Baffert said. "The Belmont has been the target for him. ... We're going to go over it. There's no rush to judgment just yet."
Baffert plans to send out Govenor Charlie on Monday for the first time since April 11, a layoff caused by a foot bruise and soreness in his hind end.

What is the best way to keep your supply up after returning to work? I've been exclusively BF my baby until about 3 days ago when I introduced 1-2 ounces of formula to make sure that baby would one, take a bottle while I'm gone and two, not get an upset tummy with the formula I picked.
I'm not able to produce enough milk to feed the baby and pump extra for storage so when I go back he has to have formula while I'm gone for at least a few days. I'm hoping that I will be able to pump enough at work to feed him for the next day while I'm gone, but I don't know if that will work out.
I'm worried that being gone all day and only feeding him in the mornings and night will totally ruin my supply and quickly end breast feeding. I want to continue to BF as long as possible, even if it is only in the mornings and nights. What can I do to keep this up? Will my supply stay around even if I only feed him 3-4 times a day?

The most extensive exhibition to date from the Museum's own collection, The Moderns, will explore the development of modernity in Ireland through the visual arts in the period 1900 to 1975. Focusing on the innovative and the experimental, it will examine this subject through a broad, interdisciplinary approach.
The exhibition will bring together exceptional examples of painting and sculpture, photography and film, architecture, literature, music and design of the period. Curated mainly from IMMA's Collection, it will also include superb loans from the public and private collections in Ireland and beyond.
The Moderns will explore many of the key artistic movements of the period, including the paintings of Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone and other supporters of European Modernism in the context of the iconic achievements in design and literature of Eileen Gray and James Joyce. It will reflect the works and influence of John Millington Synge, Paul Henry and the Yeats family and external forces as seen in the work of Klee and Picasso. The impact of the ground-breaking ROSC exhibitions in the 1960s and '70s, and of Minimal and Conceptual Art, in the works of Brian O'Doherty, Barry Flanagan and Michael Craig-Martin, will also be examined.

The Steam Page for Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter now offers a playable demo of this first-person shooter remake, a bit of a surprise since the game was released over two years ago (thanks Frans). Typical of demos on Steam, there's no word on what it does, but anyone with a Steam account can try the game, and if they like it, it's currently on sale for 75% off. This may be related to the release of Legend of the Beast, a new DLC pack for the game, which is now available on Get Games and Steam.

Making mistakes is part of being a parent, and discipline is an area where we slip up constantly. It's one of our most daunting tasks, and to do it well we have to make clear, sensible, big-picture decisions at exactly the same moment when we are angry, frustrated, or embarrassed. And that's just as hard as it sounds.
After 17 years of being a mom and a pediatrician, though, I've been able to learn a lot about discipline from my own experiences, and from other parents. While there are all sorts of possible blunders (like the time I forgot I'd left my daughter Natasha in time-out), here are five biggies that most of us are guilty of -- and ways to avoid these common mistakes:
1. Thinking that one style fits all
This one's not surprising: The bookstores are teeming with manuals, each touting an expert's best -- and only -- method. Friends and Grandma love to tell you what worked for them. And there is definitely something appealing about the simplicity of a one-approach-fits-all strategy.
But some children freak out when you speak to them sharply, while others are unaffected. Some learn the first time you tell them something; others need so much repetition, you despair of their ever learning. Some listen right away; others need time to scream it out before you can talk to them.
And it's not just temperament; it's age and development. The job of a toddler is to push limits, to do crazy stuff that you've told him time and time again not to do. The job of a tween is to start asserting her independence from you, in sometimes obnoxious ways. And neither one is going to listen to a big lecture. A toddler is going to need simple, direct, quick discipline. A tween is most likely to respond to a punishment that removes her from her peers. But despite your best efforts, both the toddler and the tween are likely to keep doing the same bad thing for a while. Understanding where they are in life is key to picking the right approach to discipline, and preventing desperation (yours).
2. Overdoing it
My husband does this a lot. He has a way of getting in a bad mood when the kids are fresh (imagine that!), and he metes out punishments that are either more reflective of his mood than the crime or thoroughly unworkable, like saying "You have to stay in your room this afternoon" when he has errands to run and needs to bring the kids with him. The punishment should fit the crime, not your frustration level. And it needs to be something feasible, that doesn't overly affect siblings who've done nothing wrong.
A friend taught me a great trick. If one of the kids is doing something he shouldn't -- being mean to a sibling, for example -- I say, "There will be consequences." (It's particularly good to use in public, because while it may strike fear into your kids, it sounds pretty benign.) Over the years, it's been shortened to "Consequences!" with the appropriate firm-but-not-yelling voice, furrowed brow, and I'm-totally-serious gaze.
If the misbehaving child doesn't stop, there are consequences, but I have a moment to think about them. Sometimes I'll ask, "What do you think your consequences should be?" It's interesting how often kids come up with a fair punishment (e.g., apologizing and letting the wronged sibling play with his favorite toy for the rest of the day).
3. Underdoing it
We've all been there. Little Jake is throwing sand at everybody within reach from the sandbox, and the responsible (I'm using the word loosely) grown-up is saying, distractedly, "You're going to get into trouble if you don't stop doing that." And little Jake keeps right on heaving sand because he clearly knows his mom isn't going to stop him.
Sometimes these types of kids are punished, but they're not bothered by it. "I take away his Game Boy, but he just plays with something else," their parents tell me in the office. Or they'll say, "I put her in time-out, but she just plays there." Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating harshness. But for a punishment to work well, I explain to parents, it needs to be something your child doesn't want to have happen again. In our house, taking away favorite toys (the length of time varies with the gravity of the offense), sending the kids to their rooms (our variation on a time-out), or losing screen time (computer and/or TV) generally works. So does "No playdates for X period of time" and, for the teenagers, "You're grounded!" Of course, every family, and every child, is different. In the office, I try to help parents think about what would be most effective; for example, taking away playdates might work for a social kid. Or if your child loves Dora, no TV/DVD for that day will get her attention.
4. Being inconsistent
Once you've said no to something, like "No throwing sand," you have to continue saying no. You can't give in sometimes ("Well, okay, you're having fun and nobody seems to mind getting it in their eyes"). Kids get confused and pick up quickly on the fact that they have, well, latitude. If you really enjoy throwing sand, and you know that sometimes Mommy and Daddy let you, of course you're going to throw sand.
Since you don't want to say no to everything, pick your battles and decide what's really important to you. In my case, I'm not so concerned about neatness, but I won't tolerate meanness, lying, or anything violent or dangerous. Once you've decided on your rules, set them clearly and stick to them.
The other part of this is follow-through. If you take away your child's TV privileges for the day and then give in while you're making dinner because you don't want him underfoot, he'll figure out pretty soon that there's a good chance he may not get punished if he decides to break the rules.
5. Always focusing on the negative
Sometimes I think we parents must sound like the grown-ups in the Charlie Brown specials, all "WahWahWah." And when you've got a kid who has trouble with rules, it can make for a really difficult relationship when all you seem to do is reprimand her.
The solution is to catch your child being good. If she goes a solid 15 minutes without picking on her sister, she should get kudos. Even if it's only five minutes, try your best to notice it. You'll be surprised how effective this can be: It's human nature to like praise, and to want to please the people we love.
This can work for you in other ways, too. As you enter a store, instead of saying, "If you don't behave, I'll be really angry and won't get you a treat," try saying, "We have to get the shopping done, and I need help. If everyone is good and helps me, we'll stop for ice cream on the way home." Think about it: Which would you rather hear?
It's not a bad idea, actually, to ask yourself variations on that question often. What would you rather hear? How would this make you feel? Granted, you're a grown-up, and would probably need to be told only once not to bite. But asking yourself questions reminds you that your kids aren't just crazy beasts put on this earth to make you insane (although it feels that way sometimes) and that discipline isn't just about keeping order. Discipline is about keeping our children safe -- and helping them grow up to be kind, successful, happy adults.
So the next time your child is the one throwing sand in the sandbox, take a deep breath. As you scoop her up and think about what might work this time (since your last method didn't), remember that she is little and has so much yet to learn. And, most of all, remember that you love her. Because that, more than anything else, is what discipline is really about.

One brings relaxation the other brings the insight/enlightenment? This is the crux of my problem. I have books, but I'm not sure what they are guiding me to. I want to follow the meditative path of vipassana (I think).retrofuturist wrote:Greetings Collective,
Yes, it can... but you need to distinguish between the samatha (calming) aspects and the vipassana (insight) aspects. Do you presently know the difference?Collective wrote:But my question was will breath meditation bring me to awareness/enlightenment/insight, and more importantly, the question I think I really need to ask is; how will it?
I want to awaken, I know that is attachemnt, but I hope you know what I mean. I want to realise, to have my eyes opened, but it is also extremely important that I relax as well. Will vipassana also help me to relax and find calm, as well as awareness? If so this is the one; vipassana.
If so, I only need to acquire nexcessary reading materials as there isn't a teacher for miles.

When the news broke last month that a comprehensive new medical study indicated that cholesterol-lowering drugs should be prescribed for millions more Americans between the ages of 40 and 70, I didn't believe it.
I don't think I'm particularly prescient; I've just caught the skepticism that's going around. Why would it be true? Who did the study? Who makes money off the change in treatment?
As it turns out, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiologists conducted the study. Comprising the best and brightest, the groups jointly put out the results, which landed with a splash in the news. Headline: Cardiac care changed forever!
Then there was the inevitable walking back of the news. First we get the big step forward, the public pronouncement that will change our medical care/government/travel experience/food quality/automobiles/education — and then the other shoe drops. We get the equivocations and the qualifications.
Sure enough, a week after the cholesterol news that would drastically alter cardiac care, two Harvard professors came forward to say that the study was flawed. Not only that, but they had warned the study administrators that there were problems with their online risk calculator for heart disease. The professors said the calculator greatly overstated risk in many people by 75 to as much as 150 percent.
Dr. Steven Nissan, chief of cardiovascular disease at the Cleveland Clinic, said, "We need to pause and further evaluate."
Unfortunately, I wasn't at all surprised. No one, no matter how talented and revered, seems immune to creeping incompetence.
In particular, the heartbreaking, catastrophic non-rollout of the Affordable Care Act has jaundiced my view of good old American know-how. Of all the things that might have gone wrong, who ever imagined a technology glitch?
I'm more accustomed to hearing that some new miracle drug also causes virulent purple hives or fatal dizziness or some other dreadful reaction. The embarrassing technological mess known as the Obamacare website has shaken my faith in the ability of our best and brightest to get things done right the first time out of the gate.

How to Buy a Flashlight:
- There comes a time in everyone's life where you need to use a flashlight. Whether you use it to illuminate a trick-or-treaters path or to shed some light until you locate the blown fuse in the fuse box, having a functioning flashlight is key. Here's how to go about buying the right flashlight
- Determine what you need a flashlight for. For example, if you are using it once a year for trick-or-treaters, then you can buy a theme flashlight that is durable enough to last for the evening. Camping, on the other hand, requires a more powerful and reliable flashlight
- Decide how large you need the flashlight to be. A flashlight that stays in your purse for those "just-in-case" occasions are much smaller than a flashlight used for a late-night hiking trip
- Know the power source. Most flashlights operate on batteries. Flashlight batteries vary from running on normal A through D sized batteries to special types of batteries such as the square 6-volt. If you know the type of power your flashlight requires, you can prepare with replacement batteries in the event your batteries die, since a flashlight is a tool that most times you use unexpectedly, as in a power outage
- Think about who may use the flashlight. If you're buying a flashlight for a child or elderly, make sure the flashlight isn't too heavy and that the on-off switch is easy to operate
- Strongly suggest you use the protected battery for it can really protect your battery well and extend your battery life as well as avoid the over-charging and over-discharging of your battery
- Please never over-charger or over-discharge the batteries, which means when the brightness of the flashlight is going down clearly but not totally dark, it is the time to charger it, or the battery will be over-discharged and it will be broken or short circuit when you charge it the next time
- Please note that the actual charge time and runtime of the flashlight may vary as different types of batteries have some difference in battery capacity and discharge property, even for the same type batteries from different manufacturers
Package Included:
- 1 x LED Flashlight

About four years ago, I received a request from a printmaker in Colombia to do a video interview (not in person, but over Skype and via clips sent back and forth). It has taken him a while to get it ready :-) but this morning he sent me a link to the finished product on YouTube. I think it turned out OK!

Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line near us has installed an enormous touch screen monitor with a map and detailed information and photos from 30 different shops in the area, and we are one of the 30!
to read the full entry | Separate page
This month marks a historical first for Mokuhankan: we are using our first paid advertising. We think it's a pretty cool form of advertising, too. Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line near us has installed an enormous touch screen monitor with a map and detailed information and photos from 30 different shops in the area, and we are one of the 30! Keep reading to see how it looks, and find out how it came about...
In the past, Mokuhankan has had lots of visiting salespeople, trying to get us to sign up for a small spot on printed maps, posters, pamphlets, et cetera, but with Asakusa being such a tourism hot spot, competition is fierce and prices have been absurdly high, so we've never been particularly interested in marketing that way.
However, a young man came earlier this year with an interesting proposition. Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line was planning to install a large touch-enabled screen with tourist information in multiple languages, and he wanted us to be a part of it. Not only that, but his price was substantially lower than anything the previous salespeople had ever presented to us, and this was for something more exciting than a pamphlet.
Up until now, the majority of our customers have been people who discovered us online, so they don't really care much about running into information about us in the train station. But with our upcoming move to the first floor of our building, and with the surging numbers of international tourists coming to Japan, we decided to take a chance.
The cool new screen introduces 30 different companies in a grid, presenting the information in five languages (Japanese, English, Korean, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese) alongside a digital map and paper maps. The companies' logos all get shuffled periodically so no one company is permanently placed higher than any others.
The map is interactive, and you can find out more about the other companies by touching their logos on the right or their names on the map. It's fun and easy to use, and we hope more visitors to the Asakusa neighborhood will enjoy it and find us a little more easily!

The EPA's rules affecting the structure of the electric utility industry has a profound impact on the cost of a reliable supply of electricity.
The Environmental Protection Agency's rules on the electric utility industry have a profound impact on the cost of a reliable supply of electricity.The EPA administers a number of federal regulations that effect the electric rates paid by industrial consumers and is currently developing significant regulations under the Clean Power Plan (CPP). Concerns regarding the implementation of the CPP is one of ELCON's highest priorities.ELCON is among more than a hundred state, trade associations and private petitioners challenging the legality of the CPP in the DC Circuit, and believe that the CPP is unlawful and should be set aside in its entirety.There are a host of other regulations that significantly effects electric rates including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. ELCON, often partnering with other associations and trade groups, works with the EPA so that these regulations are developed and implemented in a most cost effective and efficient manner possible.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation establishes the "rules of the road" for the reliable planning and operation of the North American electric grid.It is the federally recognized Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) and is responsible for, among other things, developing and enforcing reliability standards. ELCON is the only national group representing manufacturers that is active at all levels in NERC. ELCON staff and member companies serve on many key NERC Committees and provide written policy input to the NERC Board on a regular basis with the goal of minimizing the burden of NERC regulations on members.

Reforming national energy and environmental policies and regulations is an ongoing responsibility of the U.S. Congress.Beginning in the 1920s with the creation of the Federal Power Commission to the enactment of the Energy Policy Acts of 1992 and 2005, Congressional action on energy policy has had a significant impact on the delivery and price of electricity for industrial consumers. Meeting with key Members and staff, testifying before Congressional Committees and sending letters to the Hill, ELCON works to make sure that Congress hears the voice of large industrial consumers of electricity.
I knew you were the real deal when you talked about the goldfish crackers on the sofa. I live nearby (actually the same small town as you), so I just drove home each evening. When I left the house on Friday afternoon, there was an industrial sized box of Goldfish smack in the middle of my sofa. And it was still there when I got home that night. My reaction? Uncontrolled giggling. And that hot pink coat of yours is fabulous!
Heather {Desperately Seeking} says
I admit, I am a woman who looked at the speakers several times going "i am not them… how can I ever do this…" even though in my mind, you're just like me (except you speak on tour and you have 14 books.)
I'm glad you wrote this. I was blessed beyond belief this weekend and so glad I could attend. I hope to be back next year…
Brenda S says
I love it! Nothing more humanizing than that…..LOL Thanks for sharing.
Lysa, I attended She Speaks this weekend and my mind is still a whirl with all that I learned. In one of the classes, you told us to be sure we give credit where credit is due, and I want to give you some credit. I began blogging this Spring and the title of my blog was inspired by a chapter title in Becoming More. I entitled it "Beyond Sunday Morning" because that is my passion for women, that they would really take this Jesus thing beyond Sunday mornings and let Him affect their lives. Thank you for inspiring me.

truth sets us free, doesn't it? we are so prone to compare and come up short. thanks Lysa
Stephanie Lammers says
Thank you so much Lysa for the liberating truth you share each and every post! You are so real and transparent and it completely encourages me, as well as so many other women! God bless you!
Anne says
That was funny – and profound. Thanks for telling like it is, as always
Michelle says
That's why we listen and read and learn and change by God's grace, you are us, you are human as you put it and our thirst and hunger for more of God and the deep desire to be more than we are, is what makes us so much alike. We are all pooped but we go on as we inspire each other.

Crangle given conditional discharge in domestic incident
Daniel Crangle, a member of the Town of Tonawanda Board, has been sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge after pleading guilty to a harassment charge in a domestic violence case.
Crangle, 59, pleaded guilty to the violation during an April 5 court appearance in Buffalo. A misdemeanor count of stalking was dismissed.
"For a first-time DV [domestic violence] offender, that's a pretty typical resolution of the case, if the victim approves," said Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III. The victim was present at the proceeding and approved the disposition, Sedita noted.
Crangle was arrested by town police on Feb. 16, after a complaint was filed by his estranged wife, Kit.
The case was transferred to Erie County's Integrated Domestic Violence Court, a specialized court created in 2003 so that domestic violence victims wouldn't have to appear before different judges in multiple courts to deal with separate criminal, family and matrimonial cases.
Rachel Newton, chief of the District Attorney Office's Domestic Violence Bureau, was the prosecutor.
After State Supreme Court Justice Deborah A. Haendiges recused herself from the case last month, it was assigned to Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III, who presides over the integrated court in that county.
The conditional discharge calls for Crangle to live a law-abiding life and have no further arrests, among other things. He also waived sealing the records, "which means he's got a record now," Sedita said.
The judge also issued a two-year, no-contact order of protection, which supersedes an earlier order issued by a Kenmore village justice.
Contacted on Thursday, Crangle said: "It's a personal matter between me and my wife, and I want it to stay that way."

FITCHBURG, Mass. (AP) — The mother of a missing 5-year-old Massachusetts boy who is feared dead was found competent to stand trial Friday on charges including reckless endangerment of a child.
Elsa Oliver and her boyfriend, Alberto Sierra, have both been charged in connection with the disappearance of her son, Jeremiah. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Jeremiah has not been seen by relatives since September but police learned of the disappearance only last month.
The case led to the firing of three workers in the Leominster office of the state Department of Children and Families for not properly checking on the family.
The court hearing was marred by an angry outburst by one of Jeremiah's uncles, who had to be forcibly removed from the courtroom. Sandrino Oliver shouted at Elsa Oliver, "Where's my nephew?"
The Fitchburg woman's attorney, James Reardon Jr., told reporters outside court that he's not certain his 28-year-old client is able to communicate with him.
Reardon also said he was willing to consider allowing Jeremiah's father, Jose Oliver of New Britain, Conn., to meet his estranged wife to ask her what happened to their son, The Boston Globe reported.

Ordered Cauchy spaces
Department of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Washington State University, Pullman 99164-2930, WA, USA
Received 1 May 1985
Copyright © 1985 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
This paper is concerned with the notion of ordered Cauchy space which is given a simple internal characterization in Section 2. It gives a discription of the category of ordered Cauchy spaces which have ordered completions, and a construction of the fine completion functor on this category. Sections 4 through 6 deals with certain classes of ordered Cauchy spaces which have ordered completions; examples are given which show that the fine completion does not preserve such properties as uniformizability, regularity, or total boundedness. From these results, it is evident that a further study of ordered Cauchy completions is needed.

|Rubber Made: Toyo Tires Proxes R1R Review
|Page 2
|All Pages
It seems like I have an arsenal of all-wheel drive sport compact cars at my disposal as of late. Don't be jealous- none of them really belong to me. This 2009 Mitsubishi Evolution X MR has been the DC Sports demo car for the past couple of years and I somehow convinced Will Law to trust me with it for a couple of weeks to test out some new tires. The second car I managed to get a hold of was also an Evo X, but owed by Moe Durand from Mitsubishi Motors.
Much like everything else on your car, picking out tires can get to be a real headache. There isn't an all around tire that can do everything you need, although there are some that come very close. If you live in a drier climate like I do in Southern California, things get a bit simpler because you don't have to worry about traction in heavy rain or snow. Well, except for the 10 days a year that it actually rains here. You could go with a very solid street tire that also provides good grip for the track. For the most part, these would stay on your car all year because of the lack of seasons here. Now once you get into the colder, damper, and icier areas of the world, then you might have to splurge for two sets of tires. One set for the summer and one set for the winter snow. To be honest, I don't even know how people drive fixed up cars in the snow anyway. Body kits getting broken off, chipped paint and rust damage…it's a sad sight to see. Fortunately for this Evo X, I can stick to some high performance tires and not have to be bothered with the logistics of bad weather conditions.
The first tire option for the DC Sports Evo X was the Toyo Proxes R1R. After talking to the people at Toyo and explaining the car to them, the R1R was their top recommendation. Considering that the Evo X is probably one of the few perfect street and track car combos, the R1R is designed for both. Categorized as an Extreme Summer Tire, you pretty much know what to expect with R1Rs. Autocross inspired, this tire is a very grippy one that provides optimum traction for all types of driving. Yeah, the Evo is AWD, but every little bit of bite helps out on the track or around a freeway bank. The unidirectional tread pattern helps push water out of the way in the rare occasions that we have a storm, although that much water is more likely to be caused by some idiot running into a fire hydrant or a water main. For sizing, we went with a 265/35R18 all the way around for our Volk Racing wheels and then drove through the streets and highways of Los Angeles. Without a doubt, it brings the traction that every enthusiast wants and expects from a high performance tire. However, what people tend to overlook when street driving are the bumpy roads and potholes. Usually low profile tires will allow you to feel every bit of the road, and that's not a good thing. The R1Rs did a great job absorbing the shock from all the road flaws that California officials are too cheap to fix. You get a smooth, quiet drive while still being able to hammer on the throttle with confidence, not that I recommend it.
