Harry's Farmers Market Back-To-School Event
Tuesday, August 2, 2011
This past Saturday I was honored to have been asked by
Harry's Farmers Market Marietta
(a.k.a Whole Foods, a.k.a. where Alton Brown is always seen shopping on the Food Network show
Good Eats
) to set up a table demonstrating some neat bento lunch ideas for back-to-school time. What a fun day! Here are some pictures of the plates and boxes we made (of course, I forgot my memory card in my big camera, so these are snaps with my iPhone.) My husband and daughter helped tremendously. I'm looking forward to being back for one more event on August 13th, so swing on by and see me if you're in the area!

Jul 19, 2011
BOSTON — Now that Harvard University professor Elizabeth Warren has been passed over by the Obama Administration to lead the agency that she created, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, some Democrats are hoping that she
will challenge U.S. Sen. Scott Brown in 2012.
Elizabeth Warren, the daughter of an Oklahoma janitor who became a Harvard Law School professor, has long been considered a stalwart advocate for consumers. That is why she was chosen by President Obama to shape the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
But Warren was not nominated White House to run it. That honor went to former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray. A Warren candidacy for that position would have faced what many viewed as insurmountable opposition from Republicans in the House and Senate, who are seeking to re-write the rules governing the bureau.
Now that her name has been removed from contention, many Massachusetts Democrats are wondering if she'll be up to challenge Scott Brown in the 2012 election. And it's not just locals. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a Washington-based group with deep pockets, on Monday launched a campaign to draft Warren for the race.
Some political pundits say Warren, although little known among folks on the street, could well appeal to Democratic voters with her history of activism on behalf of consumers and by her own personal story beginning with her working-class roots in Oklahoma.
But Charlie Blandy of BlueMassGroup told WGBH's Emily Rooney that he believes Warren¹s failure to win White House approval to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau may be her greatest disappointment .
"This was her life¹s work. I think if she was to run for Senate or even if she was to be Senator that would sort of dilute her life¹s work in that area of consumer protection," Blandy said.
Meanwhile, the Massachusetts GOP is playing down a potential Warren candidacy.
The field of Democratic candidates currently includes includes Newton mayor Setti Warren, City Year founder Alan Khazei, state Rep. Thomas Conroy and businessman Bob Massie.
Warren has been quiet on the whether she will run or accept the challenge if drafted by a grassroots movement.

Tecumseh Scouts' "Christmas for the Soldiers" drive
Tecumseh Scouts' "Christmas for the Soldiers" drive
To the editor,
On Nov. 17-18, Boy Scout Troop 632 and Cub Scout Pack 607 along with the local Girl Scouts collected items at Tecumseh stores to send to the troops stationed at Camp Mike Spann in Afghanistan. We would like to thank the store managers at Jerry's Market for not only opening up their store to us for the collection and exchanging many items which were too large to ship for smaller sizes, and for discounting the items for us so we could get even more. Thanks to them and the management at Walgreen's Drugs and Shopko, we were in just two days able to collect a total of 1,007 pounds of goods valued at $5,240, plus more than $1,600 in donations to ship 104 boxes to Camp Spann in time for Christmas.
The now-shipped boxes contain basic hygiene items, laundry detergent, snacks and many handmade Christmas cards from the Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. The packages will be a welcome sight at the Camp Spann food pantry, which is being run by a former Scoutmaster of B.S.A. Troop 632, Mark Kirkendall. He has told us that the camp PX store has been closed this year, requiring the soldiers to travel to other nearby camps over sometimes dangerous territory to obtain these basic items.
I would like to say a BIG "thank you" to the citizens who shopped at these stores for their more than generous donations of goods and money that weekend, and the store managers of the three stores (Jerry's, Walgreens, and Shopko) for their support, and especially the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts of Tecumseh.
Also a very special thank you to "Scout Mom and Dad" Vic and Karen Trigaux, along with their Eagle Scout son, Josh, who devoted their Thanksgiving holiday to the packaging of the thousands of items.
Also, last but not least, the workers at the Tecumseh Post Office, who worked for 3 ½ hours processing and shipping the boxes.
This massive effort will put a smile on the faces of these soldiers who can't be home with their families this Christmas.
John G. Hoag

Free-and-easy Brett asks for same of young Royals
KANSAS CITY -- George Brett was his free-and-easy self Tuesday as he launched the hometown segment of his new assignment as the Royals' interim hitting coach.
He met for 17 minutes with the Kansas City media who missed his takeover of the job Thursday in St. Louis. After that marathon night -- the rain-delayed game ended at 3:14 a.m. CT -- the Royals went to Texas for three games. There, Brett was a frustrated hitting coach, because for various reasons, there was no pregame batting practice all three days.View Full Game Coverage
KANSAS CITY -- George Brett was his free-and-easy self Tuesday as he launched the hometown segment of his new assignment as the Royals' interim hitting coach.
He met for 17 minutes with the Kansas City media who missed his takeover of the job Thursday in St. Louis. After that marathon night -- the rain-delayed game ended at 3:14 a.m. CT -- the Royals went to Texas for three games. There, Brett was a frustrated hitting coach, because for various reasons, there was no pregame batting practice all three days.View Full Game Coverage
But Brett, taking the coaching job 20 years after he retired as a player, is finding games going faster from his view in the dugout.
"I used to watch a game and come to games, and it seems like the games last three hours, but it seemed like five," Brett said. "The last four games, it seems like the game is over like that [finger snap]. I mean, I'm into it. I'm watching games like I never watched games before, and it's really fun."
The 60-year-old Brett was asked about his remark in St. Louis about taking away the baby bottles from players.
"Players have to start being held accountable," he said. "They've been around, they're not all rookies anymore. We're still a very young team, but I think it's time for them to step up and play and listen and just take responsibility for their actions on the field. If you're not hitting what you should be, you should be working harder and practicing with a little more intensity."
Brett held a meeting with his hitters before the game against the Twins. One point he made was that they should be themselves.
"Do what you're capable of doing, and that's what we're trying to stress right now. Don't try to be somebody you're not. If everybody goes out there and does their job, we have a chance to be competitive. But if everybody goes out there and tries to be somebody they're not, we're going to struggle," Brett said. "And I think that's what you see with a team that's never really won before when they go through streaks like this. Everybody gets in a panic mode and tries to do more than they're capable of doing."
One thing the Royals are not, in Brett's view, is a team that will produce a lot of home runs -- indeed, they ranked a distant last in the American League with just 29 prior to Tuesday night.
"We're not really a home run-hitting team because we try to hit too many home runs. We'll be a home run-hitting team when we don't try," Brett said. "Out of the 317 home runs I hit in my career, I probably tried to hit five of them. And I probably tried to hit a thousand. So I'm 5-for-1,000 trying and 312-for-312 not trying."
Brett said he's having a good time with the job so far, getting along well with the players. The feeling seems to be mutual.
"Just the mentality, personality and everything, he's relaxing the guys," designated hitter Billy Butler said. "He's still acting like a player, and that's great. That's what you want.
"There's been more positivity in our clubhouse than there has been in the past. He's been working on positivity. He says, 'It's going to be a great day. Regardless of what happens, it's going to be a great day, and the Royals are going to win.'"
Right fielder Jeff Francoeur believes that Brett is bringing some of the aggressiveness he showed as a player back to the Royals.
"I remember how intense he was, and I think something he's bringing is a sense of urgency, which is good," Francoeur said. "It's June 4 -- we've still got four months of the season left, and there's no reason we can't get back to where we were as far as winning ballgames and doing that on a consistent basis."
Brett is, indeed, thinking positive.
"If everybody plays to their own abilities, like they did in the first five weeks of the season, we'd be in first place," he said.
Brett realizes that it might be difficult for him to pass along his Hall of Fame hitting attributes to young players.
"The old expression: Easier said than done. For me, it's easier to do than say. I'm going to do my best to relate you guys," he told the players.
Even Ted Williams, sometimes called the greatest hitter in the game's history, had trouble passing along his expertise. Yet Brett's own mentor, Charley Lau, excelled at teaching.
"Ted Williams wasn't a very good hitting coach. Charley Lau wasn't a very good hitter, but he was one heck of a hitting coach," Brett said. "You don't find many guys that are really good hitters as good coaches. For whatever reason, I don't know. But that doesn't mean I can't try."
Brett, when assuming the role, said he'd try it for at least a month. On Tuesday, he was asked if he'd consider staying on for the entire summer.
"Yeah. The problem is if I don't do a good job, I think it would better if I retired rather than get fired," he said with a laugh.
When the request came from ownership, David and Dan Glass, to take on the task of reviving the offense, he accepted readily.
"I owe this organization a tremendous amount. Everything I have, I owe to them. Everything I've done in my life, I owe to this organization," he said. "So if they felt that adamant that I should try this, I'm here. If I don't do a good job, I think I should retire or resign. If I'm doing a good job, I'll stay on. It's simple."

Justice Clarence Thomas, who now serves on our nation's Supreme Court, was confirmed for that position by a vote of 52 out of 100 Senators. He was treated poorly in the confirmation process by those who were out to destroy him.
Yet despite all the efforts to keep him off the high court, his opponents in the US Senate did not deny him an up or down vote. They understood that it was the duty of the Senate to vote on the President's nominees, and that if Senators opposed the nominee, they should simply vote "no."
But now, Senators who oppose President Bush's nominees don't even want to allow them a vote. They are delaying certain votes indefinitely, where they know the nominee would win if the vote were taken. Some commentators have recently compared this attitude to the neighborhood bully who takes the ball and runs home because he can't stand to lose.
Those who are obstructing these votes belong to a party that lost big in the last election. People across America voted according to their values – values which they want to see respected not just by the Executive and Legislative branches of governments, but by the Judicial branch as well. These voters understand that they can make their values prevail in the voting booth and often through the legislative process. They understand, too, that these values are often overturned in the Courts.
It's time to translate electoral victories into judicial victories. It's time to change the courts. It's time, indeed it is long overdue, to end the reign of judicial activism that has brought us abortion on demand, challenges to the Pledge of Allegiance, a redefinition of marriage, and numerous other policies that are contrary to the will of most Americans.
We have a choice. We can either govern ourselves, or let an oligarchy of unelected judges govern us. We can either use the political capital won in the election to shape the courts, or we can continue to watch judges undo the policies made by those we elected.
Make no mistake – judges have their proper and essential role, and should be respected for it. But their proper role does not include making law. The judiciary has absolutely no policy-making power. Law is made through the legislators elected by the people.
We are at a critical moment right now. The Senate, stalled in its duty to vote on the President's nominees, can restore order and insist that these votes take place. They need to hear from you. They need to know that this is what you want them to do. They need to understand that you are watching, and that you know the significance of this moment. Votes must take place now.
The effort to stall the votes is a preparation for the upcoming battle over a Supreme Court vacancy. Success in stalling a vote because the nominee is too conservative, religious, or pro-life is a test run for keeping others like Clarence Thomas off the Court.

A modern coal fired power plant burns its fuel at a very high temperature so that the products of combustion are reduced down to CO2, water vapor, small amounts of SO2, and fine noncombustible ash. The exhaust gasses are then further scrubbed and filtered to remove the SO2 and the trace amounts of other gasses and virtually all of the ash. Most of the ash and residue from the scrubbers and filters are then used for building materials such as wall board. Far less particulate matter is released into the atmosphere than what comes from a typical diesel locomotive, which so called "environmentalists" favor. Older coal fired plants have either been retrofitted or regulated out of existence.
So what do they mean by "very dirty"? They are talking strictly about the CO2 emissions. CO2 is of course a trace gas in the atmosphere that has been on the rise. It is of course... harmless to living creatures at the trace levels currently in the atmosphere. CO2 is essential for the photosynthesis process in plant life which virtually. Even if all known coal, oil, and natural gas reserves were burned over the next year, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere would still not reach a level that would be close to being harmful for humans and animals to breath.
The level of CO2 in the atmosphere has been many times higher in previous times than it is currently currently. Where did it all go? Plant life, algae, and plankton absorb much of it and convert it back into carbon and oxygen, but an even larger amount is absorbed by the oceans especially during times when the planet is cooling as it did during the so called "little ice age" which from approximately 1350 to 1800.
When there is a warming trend as there has been for approximately the past two hundred years... the oceans release vast amounts of this stored CO2. That is most likely why there is a lag of a hundred years or more between the levels of CO2 found in ice samples found deep within glaciers in Greenland and proxy signs of increasing global temperatures.
There actually is no empirical data that shows that CO2 warms the earth's atmosphere. The theory that CO2 causes "global warming" is a theory that so far the data cannot confirm. Conversely, the empirical evidence from ice cores does show that when the planet warms CO2 levels increase.
The level of CO2 in the atmosphere has steadily increased at the same rate... despite the world wide economic downturn that along with "fracking" has actually decreased the amount of CO2 introduced into the atmosphere by the United States and most other developed countries. Mankind is only responsible for a fraction of the CO2 released into the worlds atmosphere.
Despite cherry picked data suggesting otherwise... we have seen temperatures level off over the past 16 years. This has been acknowledged even by many of the main characters caught up in the co called "climategate" scandal such as Phil Jones head of the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University. So why hasn't CO2 measurements leveled off as well? Think of when you open up a can of pop that has been shaken. The syrupy liquid continues to bubble out for a while even after the shaking has stopped. The natural cyclic global warming we have seen over the past couple hundred years may have taken a pause for the past couple of decades, but the oceans are still releasing far more CO2 than mankind and will continue to do so for many many decades after we enter the next cooling cycle.
Volcanic activity and natural decay from plant and animal byproducts also release far more CO2 into the atmosphere than mankind. But do not fret for if history is any indicator... it is virtually assured that at some point in the future the oceans will again cool and CO2 levels will decline. So in the mean time lets worry about something real.
If the TEA Party wanted to make waves and get inside some heads they would run an advertisment that start with the Colorado governor testifying in congress that he DRANK fracking FLUIDS and they are safe!! Then declare the federal government could pay down debt by $_____ each year if all we got was the royalties, but what about jobs - those people tah want to work would pay taxes too. "Tell your congressman and the President to OPEN FEDERAL lands." TEA party people need to have an agenda - "PAY OFF THE DEBT" and they need to tell the tax payer there are solutions that have not been attempted.

Zack Greinke's Dodgers' debut could be pushed back
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — It appears Zack Greinke's first regular-season start for the Los Angeles Dodgers will be pushed back by at least a few days and possibly longer.
The Dodgers said the former Cy Young Award winner felt strong Monday, a day after his first bullpen session since receiving an injection in his pitching elbow.
After signing a $147 million, six-year contract with the Dodgers as a free agent, Greinke has appeared in just two spring-training games for a total of five innings. Greinke pitched on Feb. 24 and March 1, then was slowed due to inflammation in his right elbow and received an injection of platelet-rich plasma and anti-inflammatory medication on March 11.
"He felt good this morning," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Monday.
Greinke is scheduled to pitch again on Wednesday, possibly in a simulated game at the minor league complex on a day the Dodgers play Kansas City at Surprise.
"We're not sure just where, but we want to control the outing," Mattingly said.
Greinke threw 38 pitches in Sunday's bullpen session and is expected to throw 45 pitches Wednesday.
He could pitch again on March 25 against the Royals in Surprise and March 30 at the Los Angeles Angels, which would line him up to make his regular-season Dodgers debut April 5 — if he has enough arm strength. Greinke originally had been slated to start April 2 against San Francisco.
NOTES: RHP Chad Billingsley, who bruised the index finger on his throwing hand during a bunting drill Friday, could miss Tuesday's scheduled start against Oakland. "It's day to day," Billingsley said. "But right now the command is not there." X-rays were negative.

For a while now, Mobile Safari has been doing something similar, although I do think in that case, it's about saving space. On Mobile Safari, the scheme is hidden until you tap the URL field to edit. The developer version of Google Chrome takes this a step further, and omits the scheme completely. Bug reports were filed, and in true internet fashion, discussion ensued.
A few things need to be made clear about Chrome's implementation of this feature. The first thing that jumped into my mind was this: some applications, whether they be web or real ones, actually require you to add the scheme (for instance, to autoparse URLs). Google claims to have solved this issue by adding the scheme to your clipboard when you copy and paste URLs from the URL field, however, this behaviour is currently broken in many clipboard implementations. Another thing that you should be wondering about now is what they do with other schemes like ftp, https,
and gopher. The solution here is decidedly simple: those will still be shown.
The reason behind this change is obvious: the URL scheme bears little meaning to most people using a browser - they know it's there and how to type it, but it doesn't indicate anything to them. Since computing has been about abstracting away complexity for a while now, it was only a matter of time before browser makers started removing this piece of web history.
That being said, I'm not at all in agreement with the "solution" Google is presenting here. Hiding complexity is not a solution - it's just hiding something. It's like Mac OS X hiding away the UNIX file system layout madness with a layer of kid-friendly directories; it only makes things look pretty - it doesn't actually solve the underlying problem. You can cover up that pile of mangled corpses in your bedroom with a flower-patterned table cloth, but that doesn't actually address the problem of there being a pile of mangled corpses in your bedroom.
Since 99.999% of the people only ever encounter http://, ftp://, and https:// (did I forget any?), why not create a standard set of easy-to-understand icons to replace them, in cooperation with other browser makers? I mean, if Mozilla and Microsoft can agree on the RSS icon (2005, people, that's how far back my OSNews memory goes!), surely we can all get along and do something similar here? Most browsers show a lock icon anyway when browsing to an https site, so this shouldn't be too big of a deal, right?

Senator wants answers about alleged CIA payments
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senator Bob Corker says he's holding up $75 million in U.S. assistance to Afghanistan until he gets answers from the Obama administration about alleged cash payments from the CIA to Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says in a letter sent Monday to Secretary of State John Kerry and Rajiv Shah, administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, that he's made repeated requests for information about the alleged payments.
But he's received no response.
Corker says such payments illustrate an inconsistency in U.S. policy that seeks to root out corruption in Afghanistan while at the same time allegedly funneling cash to the country's president.
The senator says the $75 million is intended to be used for electoral programs in Afghanistan.

My husband has a high stress job and he says the only way he can relax is to engage in various sexual acts.. such as watching porn together or fantasising about threesomes.. or having sex on webcamera with someone watching.. i know all this is haram ,we have a very good relationhship otherwise.. but he pressureises me for these things and i do not want to refuse him as it creates tension in between us..i have tried talking and explaining patiently but this issue keeps coming up again and again.. i would like to add that the only thing that makes me refuse is the fear of it being prohibited in islam.. i am not forced in a nyway by him.. just a sort of pressure and if i refuse he is kind of cold towards me.. i am very worried and stressed about this.. please advise me what should i do.. and also tell me what is teh punishment for these acts.
Watching pornographic websites and sexual activity is haraam; it is a disease, not a remedy. The one who does that is afflicted and he should seek to remedy himself by repenting and giving it up, not by making up excuses for himself. All sinners make up excuses for themselves. The one who drinks alcohol or takes drugs or commits adultery – they all claim that they are under pressure and that they cannot escape it except by doing something haraam.
In fact these haraam things only add to their worries and stress. One of the punishments of sin is feelings of stress and alienation, and darkness on the face and in the heart. The further away a person is from his Lord and the more he is indulging in sins, the further away the means of attaining happiness and peace of mind are from him, as Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Quran nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship"
[Ta-Ha' 20:124].
As for the people of faith and obedience, Allah, may He be exalted, says concerning them (interpretation of the meaning):
"Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter)"
[an-Nahl 16:97].
What you have to do is advise your husband to keep away from these haraam things, and tell him about beneficial remedies to treat stress and anxiety, one of the greatest of which is reading the Holy Qur'aan, which is the means of bringing relief and peace to the heart. See the answer to question no. 21677 and 30901.
Perhaps you can also refer to the essay on "Dealing with worries and stress" on this website.
It is permissible for the husband to enjoy his wife however he wants, so long as he avoids intercourse at the time of menses and in the anus.
There are different way of enjoying intimacy that are not forbidden in Islam, but they are off-putting to people of good taste and sound natures; however they are permissible if the wife agrees to them.
If your husband calls you to do something haraam, you have to refuse and not be a party to sin and disobedience. If he calls you to do something permissible that you find off-putting and distasteful, then it is up to you whether you accept or refuse. If you decide to go along with it because you are afraid he will lose interest in you, you may do so, but it is better for you to fulfil his desires in proper ways that do not make either of you feel put off.
And Allah knows best.

Senate delays action on Internet sales tax bill
WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says senators have reached a deal to delay voting on a bill to tax Internet sales until after senators return from a weeklong vacation.
Reid says the Senate vote on passage of the bill would be May 6.
A handful of senators from states without sales taxes were blocking the bill, which has widespread bipartisan support in the Senate.
The bill would empower states to require online retailers to collect state and local sales taxes for purchases made over the Internet. Under the bill, the sales taxes would be sent to the states where a shopper lives.

St. Mary's received outstanding pitching performances from Ryan Ross and Jake Isola in a Southern Cascade Hybrid baseball doubleheader sweep Saturday.
The Crusaders defeated Rogue River, 10-0 and 7-3, at St. Mary's High.
Ross and Christian Aviles combined for a five-inning, one-hit shutout in the opener.
Ross (5-0) struck out four in four innings and Aviles fanned two in one perfect inning of relief. Kollen Roohr's first-inning double was the Chieftains' (7-11, 2-5 SCH) only hit.
"Ross doesn't overpower batters," said St. Mary's coach Sean Gallagher. "He's a spot pitcher and has an incredible changeup."
Ross sparked the Crusader (15-5, 5-2) offense with an RBI triple in the first inning and a run-scoring double in the second as St. Mary's jumped out to a 5-0 lead.
Daniel Seus was 2-for-2 with an RBI for the Crusaders.
In Game 2, Isola (4-1) tossed four innings without surrendering an earned run to pick up the victory. Isola led the offense with three hits and three RBIs. Isola scored what proved to be the winning run when he singled in the fourth and scored on Ross' double.
Aviles pitched two innings of relief and had a two-run double in the second.
"We're really starting to step it up," said Gallagher. "We're not doing any of the big things wrong. We're playing clean baseball."

In the opener, North Valley (15-6, 6-3 Sky) erased a 2-0 deficit with six runs in the fourth inning. The Knights scored five runs after two were out and Marco Garmendia accounted for the big blow with a two-run double.
Calvin Decker had two hits and one RBI and Justin McCreadie belted a two-run double in the seventh for Phoenix, which has lost 11 of its last 12 games.

Does it surprise you how small "standard" portions are? You and everyone else in America, it seems.
How much you should eat of a food, or official "serving sizes," have not really changed over the years. But the food portions you actually eat have. Many experts think this is why so many Americans are overweight.
For example, 20 years ago a bagel you may have ordered at a coffee shop was about three inches wide with 140 calories. Today, you are more likely to find a six-inch bagel with about 350 calories.
Similarly, it used to be normal to get an 8-ounce cup of coffee with milk and sugar, for a total of 45 calories. But now you are more likely to get something like a 16-ounce mocha coffee, with whole milk and mocha syrup -- and 350 calories.
Or, a turkey sandwich on regular bread that you might have found at a diner 20 years ago had about 320 calories. Now, you are more likely to find a 10-inch turkey sub with all the trimmings -- and a whopping 820 calories.
These are all examples from a website sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and the National Institutes of Health. The website, "Portion Distortion," offers two interactive quizzes so you can test:
The site explains the difference between today's portion sizes and official serving sizes. It also has a "Serving Size Card," with hints on what one serving looks like for a variety of foods. You can print the card off and carry it around as a handy reference. For example, the Serving Size Card says:

Three months ago, Debbe Ebben had not a hair on her head. On Saturday night, she had a little more hair and a lot of crown.
Ebben is the new Miss Alaska. In March she shaved her head to raise more than $4,000 for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which donates money for childhood cancer research. She said she did it to let children who lost their hair because of cancer treatment know that it is OK to be bald.
She said losing one's hair should be special -- whether it's voluntary or not.
"I wanted to put meaning and emotion behind it, and let them know why I'm doing it -- for the kids," she said. "I'm not shaving it to get attention. I'm not shaving it for publicity. I'm not shaving it because it's a really easy hairstyle to go with. I'm shaving it for them."
Ebben's brown hair had grown back to a pixie cut by the time she became the state's top beauty queen over the weekend, but she says she will likely keep her hair short when she represents Alaska at the Miss America pageant in January.
"I'll let it do its thing for a while," she said, laughing. "I'll consult the hairstylist before I go down."
Ebben was the reigning Miss Chugiak-Eagle River when she picked St. Baldrick's for the public service project required of all Miss Alaska pageant contestants. Baldrick's gets its name from a combination of the words "bald" and "St. Patrick." The organization was founded by three insurance executives who turned a St. Patrick's Day party into a head-shaving event to help children with cancer.
Ebben said she got a feel of what the children go through.
"Like children who are fighting cancer, losing my hair was a really emotional experience, and something I hope they only have to go through once in their life," she said.
As she approached the Miss Alaska pageant, she had to decide whether to keep the look. Her drastic haircut had been done in honor of a child, and she decided to let it grow back so the haircut wouldn't be mistaken for a gimmick.
"I don't want to be branded as the 'bald beauty queen,' " she said.
She's had two haircuts since March, and her hair is 2 inches at its longest.
In the upcoming year, she said, she plans to work with St. Baldrick's and Headbands of Hope, which donates a spandex headband to a sick child and $1 to St. Baldrick's for every headband it sells.
Bonnie Faulk, director of the Miss Alaska Scholarship Foundation, calls Ebben the epitome of the standards and values of the program.
"We are elated to have this young woman serve us," Faulk said. "She has worked harder than many, many, many contestants in many years."
Ebben said her road to Miss Alaska has "been a long journey."
"This was my 16th pageant and it was more of 'The moment had finally come.' And I was really happy it had come," she said.
In lieu of entry fees, contestants raise money for the Children's Miracle Network, the charity of the Miss America Pageant. Ebben was the pageant's top fund-raiser this year, raising nearly $1,500 through a community yard sale in north Anchorage.
Scholarships from the pageant, in turn, paid for Ebben's college education.
"She's out there. She's the real deal," Faulk said, "She's what our program is about."

Wouldn't starting Book 2 om page 201 make a little more sense?
I would have thought that too, but saw something somewhere about leaving more room for the house that links to all the stories. I guess if the site keeps expanding, 100 pages for the house might not be enough.
But all the pages for Book Two seem to be set for 501 to 599. Keeping the pages for a book together may make no difference to the reader, but I think it will make it much easier for the editors. A total of 32 pages for The Seven Seers of Solomon's Sewer have been written so far.

Episode 13
I cried, just a little. I think it was more painful this time since you knew what was coming. The first time around, there was always some doubt as to what would happen. It was painful to read this since it didn't go as quick as the anime.
And Ami was so funny with her outfit. That poor girl walking out on the stage while everyone was cheering for Ami.
And, who would have guessed Taiga could make this face:
Festivals are usually cliche, but not this series, so they poked fun at the cliche with all the maid uniforms. Good stuff.

So Taiga's dad doesn't show up? That's a shocker. I mean really what's his problem? At first he wants to see her very much and when he gets a chance to live with her, they end up back to where they started. According to Minori, he's done this in the past before. Does he really care about his daughter or not? Honestly he's such an irresponsible parent...

Both Ryuji and Taiga had different parent issues, each parent being different. Ryuji's dad ran away when he heard he got his girlfriend pregnant, his mom sacrifices everything for Ryuji but wants live vicariously through him since she went from being a 16 year old girl to a mother, skipping over being a teenager and young adult. Taiga's mother got up and left because her husband found a younger woman, and left alone Taiga in the process.
One thing to note is that both mothers are not bad people like the fathers. They just have personal difficulties but in the end they love their child and do sincerely want to help them. I wonder if that's because the author is a woman... hmmm...

Episode 13.
Oh right. I don't remember Minorin explaining why she didn't tell Ryuuji about the previous incident but there is was. Yep, everything was just perfect. in any other story if the father was a jackass, the main protagonist would shout the father down and then maybe punch him in the face and the father would suddenly see sense and start being a good dad again. That's not what happened though. Toradora! does things completely differently.
Oh and Minorin body slam attack ftw.

I was already thoroughly convinced that the entirety of episode 13 was the prelude to episode 19 when the latter episode aired. Everything in in episode 13, and arguably in the episodes after that, were in motion for something big that was about to happen, and episode 19 was that.

Great episode. I like how they touched on all of the different characters at the end. I feel even worse for Ami though. She's getting her hopes up for nothing.
And be sure to read the original version, told quite differently and most comical:
The Legend of the Palmtop Tiger of Happiness

This episode was great, love the humor in this one, especially the one guy trying so hard to get some luck off of the "Palmtop Tiger of Happiness". So by this point Ami realises she doesn't have a chance of taking Ryuji away from Taiga no matter how hard she tries since she was a bit too immature for him. She has grown alot as a character and I like her alot better now. And Ryuji is starting to realise his feelings for Taiga which is about time I'd say. Though they left out some parts from the original, it was still very entertaining to watch. Overall a good episode.

Episode 15;
Kitamura is a horribly underrated character. At the time I thought Kitamura was just to remain "That guy Taiga would eventually get over", but it turned out he had his own story to tell. And I definitely liked how Taiga veiwed his relationship with Kitamura by comparing to the stars.
I think the funniest moment was when Morning Mom kicked them out of the house, but special mention goes to Kitamura breaking down and screaming "ALL!" repeatedly.

Oh we're still doing this? Well might aswell talk about Episode 16.
I have never seen a more brilliant school fight in anime. Absolutely freaking perfect. And it really showed that Taiga's feelings more Kitamura were more than just a stupid crush. Plus it's another one of those issues that isn't resolved or even helped at all by the main male lead, giving other characters a lot more depth.
Episode 17.
This is perhaps the first biggest hint given to us that Ryuuji is starting to recognise his feelings for Taiga. I say recognise and not develop, because we know he's already been developing feelings for taiga the entire time. he just hadn't realised it yet. It's also a big hint that Minori realises Ryuuji's feelings aswell.

Finally had time to catch up with the rewatch goddammit.
Anyway if there's anything awesome with episode 17, it's how everyone starts losing their shit and STILL stay in character. That's impressive in itself.
Anyway... 2 episodes to the fated 19th...

As it turns out, I watched episode 15 and 16, but for some reason didn't post about it. So I'll keep my thoughts short since I may mix some of it up the novel, lol.
Episode 15 - Kitamura... you're not just some supporting character with no development now!
Episode 16 - Awesome, simply awesome. It was so epic how Taiga went there and then Sumire accepted her challenge. Really great stuff.
And what I just watched...
Episode 17 - New OP & ED! Excellent ones too. I still want to know the importance of oranges and romance in Japan, it's a recurring thing and no one can answer why. Anyway, I love Kitamura's radio show. So funny how the teacher is on there, poor lady, lol. Taiga had quite a few cute moments this episode too. Haruta's dream was epic in the beginning, and then it tanked badly... really badly, lol.
Episode 18 - Wow. Just, wow. So much.. emotion. I was crying a little at the end there too. I don't think anyone saw that ball coming through the window, I sure didn't. Such a pretty star too. So, does everyone see the symbolism and all there? The star being Taiga's heart which Minori is afraid to break if she goes out with Ryuji. And then Ryuji's lines about fixing it applying to everyone's heart.
As for the novel, little things were left out as usual, nothing vital to the story so kudos to JC Staff. I guess they can do a good adaptation if the source material is all there for them, lol.

Episode 18 manages to almost perfectly define Ami and Minorin.
That speech in the gym room was pure gold and shows just how much depth lies behind that pretty face. If there's been anyone in the cast who has been the most observant and the most capable of understanding and reading anyone, it's Ami. While previous episodes have shown how good she is at reading people, in a short monologue she manages to define pretty much the entirety of Ryuuji to such a extent that it goes beyond even Ryuuji's own understanding. Perhaps part of it is due to the sense of detachment and isolation she feels towards people considering her social standing. Her capacity really does put her on a standing very much similar to Ryuuji, hence her observation that the two of them are equals, yet her own understanding that equality does not make them a valid pair.
On the other hand is a character who, underneath the perpetual genki game face, lies someone who feels so low and weak that she feels the need to earn her place and overcompensate for her shortcomings. Minorin initially comes off as a hyper girl who simply can't say no to anyone, yet under that is a girl who herself seeks the acceptance of others and tries so desperately to correct her faults and mistakes to prop herself up. Others may be impressed with her, but she feels no such things for herself, and puts herself down in the process. In ways it makes me believe even now that she feels she doesn't deserve Ryuuji, but you can't deny that she is a girl who, while she detaches herself from others to achieve her own goals, also just wants to be loved.

How to Limit Salary Hit From Maternity Leave
By Ben Casselman
For women, taking time off work to raise a child can mean taking a big salary hit. But it's much smaller for those who can return to their old employer when they re-enter the workforce than for those who have to find a new job.
The Census Bureau on Tuesday released new data on men's and women's earnings based on their work histories. The basic findings are unsurprising: For both men and women, earnings rise sharply early in their careers, then flatten out and even dip somewhat as they approach retirement. Throughout their careers, women earn less on average than men, with the gap generally growing over time.
One reason for the gender gap — though not the only one — is that women remain far more likely than men to take time off to raise children. Through their mid-20s, men and women typically have relatively similar work histories. But after that, women start falling behind. At age 25, the average woman has worked 7.1 years, half a year less than the average man. By age 30, the gap has widened to more than a year, and by 40, women have generally worked more than three years less than men of the same age. (The data are from 2008, but 2004 figures show similar results.)

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Molson Coors (TAP) is one of the largest brewers of beer by sales in the world. The company was formed in 2005 by the merger of two storied brewers; U.S.-based Adolph Coors Co., which was founded in 1873, and Canadian brewer Molson Inc., which was established in 1786. It has headquarters in Denver and Montreal. In 2008, Molson Coors entered into a joint venture with SABMillier, called MillerCoors. The partnership distributes the two companies' brands in the United States in order to better compete with chief rival Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD). Note that the brewer competes with SABMiller outside of the United States. Molson Coors made another joint venture in 2010 with Hebei Si'hai Beer Company of China, increasing its presence in this attractive market. Lastly, the company purchased StarBev in 2012 in an effort to bolster its presence in Europe. The company has a wide selection of brands, including Molson Canadian, Coors Light, Carling, Staropramen, and Blue Moon.
Sales came under pressure during the 2007-2009 recession as many drinkers around the world traded down to cheaper brews. The North American and Western European markets have been particularly under pressure due to changing consumer tastes. However, the top line has strengthened in recent years, thanks to the brewer's expanding operations in emerging markets. What's more, management has done a good job of protecting profits during this difficult stretch by implementing a cost-savings program.
Despite the recent challenges, Molson Coors is performing well. This stock is up over 30% in value over the past year. Results in North America are starting to turn the corner thanks to a solid showing at MillerCoors. This business has benefited from strong demand for Coors Light. Blue Moon and Leinenkugel's have been popular with beer drinkers and have helped the company fend off competition from the craft beer movement. All told, the joint venture has been a success thus far. Looking ahead, business in Western Europe should pick up as the macroeconomic climate improves in that region. Furthermore, cost-cutting efforts should continue to buoy the bottom line going forward.
Management has its eye on the future. The company is working to bolster sales in developed markets, build its operations in growth markets, and grow via mergers & acquisitions. This strategy has been a success thus far. Indeed, the brewing giant has diversified its footprint considerably in recent years. These investments should help volumes continue to grow as the beer business consolidates. Looking ahead, Molson Coors will likely focus on building its presence in emerging markets, such as China, India, and Brazil, which offer very attractive growth prospects. Note, though, that the recent consolidation in the alcoholic beverage space has limited these investment opportunities somewhat. Still, we would not be surprised to see a few acquisitions in the near term. As always, product introductions and marketing efforts remain crucial for the brewer in order to boost volumes. The company will also work to pare costs in order to bolster shareholder returns over the long haul.
Finances are no cause for concern. Molson Coors generates strong cash flow, which has allowed it to expand its operations and reward shareholders. However, debt reduction will likely be a priority in the months ahead. The company took on a considerable amount of debt when it purchased StarBev and has been working this balance down. Still, Molson Coors has plenty of cash to lower its debt-to-capital ratio as well as return cash to its stockholders. In fact, TAP shares offer an attractive dividend yield, which may interest income-oriented investors.
After a tough stretch to start this decade, the brewer is moving in a direction investors can raise their glass to. Molson Coors has a solid long-term growth strategy. Sales and earnings should advance at a steady clip in the years ahead. For more information and insight, investors are advised to see our quarterly updates on this stock in The Value Line Investment Survey.

Under Review April 2018
It is a medication that is used for some types
of mental distress or illness, known as psychotic
illnesses, where you may hear voices, have difficulty
controlling your thoughts or feel very agitated. This happens most
often in bipolar disorder (otherwise known as 'manic depression')
and schizophrenia.
It is a special preparation of the medication,
which is given by injection. The medication is slowly released
into the body over a number of weeks.
It is important to know that the medication going into your body
by a depot injection is exactly the same as the medication going
into your body in tablet form. The only difference is the route
through which its enters. This means that the benefits and the
side-effects of the depot injection are the same as they would be
if you took the drug by mouth.
Because the injection is quite thick, it needs to be given into
a large muscle, so that there is less (or no) pain and
You can usually decide yourself where to have
the injections. The choices might be:
Between once a week and once a month.
This will depend on your illness. You should discuss this with
your doctor.
Which depot to choose should be a joint decision between you and
your psychiatrist. All depots are broadly similar in how effective
they are. There are some slight differences in some of the effects
of the drugs. For example, Clopixol may be more suitable if you are
highly agitated, while Depixol may be more suitable if you have a
low mood associated with your illness.
There are also differences in the side-effects they may cause,
and this will influence your choice of depot.
Apart from these problems, the side-effects of
the medication are the same as with the tablet version of the same
Most depot medications belong to the older group of antipsychotics ('first generation' or
'typical' antipsychotics). These are Modecate, Depixol, Haldol,
Piportil and Clopixol. These medications are more likely
to cause side-effects such as stiffness or shaking in your arms and
legs when compared to the newer medications ('second
generation' or 'atypical; antipsychotics) such as Risperidal
Consta, Xepilon, ZypAdhere or Abilify Maintena.
Yes. Although having regular injections can be uncomfortable and
seem daunting to begin with, it is possible to get used to the
process, and you will gradually feel more comfortable with it.
Discussing any anxieties with your nurse or doctor can also
The physical discomfort of regular injections can also be
reduced by alternating the injection site each time. Most depots
can be given at different intervals such as weekly,
every 2 weeks, every 3 months or monthly. Choosing a dose which
allows for less frequent injections can also be helpful.
If you experience side-effects from your depot medication,
having smaller amounts of the medicine can help, or you can take
another medicine to reduce the side-effects. It is usually best to
reduce the dose of medication to a level where these unpleasant
effects do not happen.
Yes you can, just the same as with any other
medication. But, if you are kept in hospital under a section of the
Mental Health Act, the doctors could make you have treatment
(again, like any other medication) even if you don't want it. After
3 months, if you say still don't want the treatment, the hospital
has to ask an independent doctor from a different hospital to see
you and decide if you need the medicine or not.
If you miss an injection, you should have
another one as soon as you can. If you do not, over a few weeks or
months the medicine will stop working and some of the old problems
will come back, like hearing voices or feeling troubled or scared.
You may start to feel worse than before you started the medicine if
you keep missing the depot injections.
Talk to your doctor, nurse or key worker. They
might be able to help you feel OK about it, or suggest a different
treatment. If you have any questions about your medicine or if you

A man driving a stolen Ford Explorer being pursued by police through Northbridge and Uxbridge on Route 122 Friday afternoon died on impact in a head-on collision with a Toyota pickup. "Just keep him in sight, ah, back off a little bit. We don't want anybody else, ah, killed," one officer was heard telling the others who were pursuing the vehicle.
A man driving a stolen Ford Explorer being pursued by police through Northbridge and Uxbridge on Route 122 Friday afternoon died on impact in a head-on collision with a Toyota pickup.
The crash occurred about 3:15 p.m. near 128-130 S. Main St. (Route 122), in Uxbridge, said Timothy Connolly, communications director for Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.
The unidentified driver, a young man, was taken by ambulance to Milford Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Mr. Connolly said the dead man did not have any identification on him. Investigators last night were trying to determine his identity.
The driver of the Toyota, whom Mr. Connolly identified as Anthony Southwick, 30, of Uxbridge, had to be extricated from his vehicle by firefighters using the Jaws of Life, a hydraulic cutting tool. He was taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus in Worcester with injuries.
Mr. Connolly said the chase began in Northbridge midafternoon when a suspicious vehicle caught the attention of police, who ran the plates and learned the SUV had been stolen in Providence. The dark green Ford Explorer had a Rhode Island registration.
Northbridge police followed the SUV south on Route 122 to the town line, where Uxbridge police picked up the chase. The SUV hit the northbound silver Toyota head-on just south of downtown. Debris from the pickup truck was scattered over the roadway.
Mr. Connolly said the SUV chased by police was driving between 30 mph and 40 mph on the busy stretch of road.
Sharon Kach, who lives at 128 S. Main St., Uxbridge, said she encountered the SUV being chased by four police cruisers while driving in Northbridge. "They passed me in Northbridge by Peterson's Gas (on Route 122). That car was flying down the street," she said.
Ms. Kach said she saw the SUV go into the oncoming lane to pass traffic. She didn't realize it had crashed in front of her duplex until she arrived home minutes later and saw the wreckage in her driveway.
Bill Ethier of 108 N. Main St. was listening to the police scanner at home when he heard chatter about a chase coming out of the Rockdale section of Northbridge.
"As we listened to the scanner, they said the vehicle's not stopping," Mr. Ethier said.
"As we looked out the window, we saw it flying by, probably doing 50 or so," he said. He heard that it almost hit another car by Snowling Road, a popular cut-through between Route 16 and Route 122 near the center of town.
Scanner reports indicated police began looking for the Ford after another motorist reported it was driving erratically just after 3 p.m.
A dispatcher told police that state troopers had also been alerted by motorists and were looking for the Explorer and that the vehicle had been reported stolen.
The SUV pulled into a Cumberland Farms lot, and then headed south with a police officer following. A few minutes later, an officer radioed that the vehicle was "taking off." The Ford headed south on Route 122 about 55 mph, not stopping for the officers who had radioed that they planned to make a "felony car stop." The officer reported that the vehicle "almost hit a car head-on" and was driving erratically again.
"Just keep him in sight, ah, back off a little bit. We don't want anybody else, ah, killed," one officer was heard telling the others who were pursuing the vehicle.
Another officer responded, "He's almost lost it a number of times."
Speeds were about 35 to 40 mph, and police were trying to block the vehicle at one point, but the Ford drove on. Police asked a dispatcher to call Rhode Island and ask police there to set up with tire-deflation devices in case the vehicle crossed the state line.
There was another near-collision near the town hall seconds before an officer is heard saying, "We're going to need ambulances here ASAP," and other officers began reporting a head-on collision and calling for hydraulic extrication tools to free the victims.
Pastor Bob Howard, Uxbridge Fire Department chaplain who was at the scene, said, "My prayers are with those guys and their families."
Traffic was detoured while police investigated and cleared the area of the wrecked vehicles.
The district attorney's office and Uxbridge and Northbridge police are investigating the crash with the assistance of the regional accident reconstruction team.
Craig S. Semon and Kim Ring of the Telegram & Gazette staff contributed to this report.

High Blood Sugar Levels
If my blood sugar levels are staying high should I increase or decrease my dosage of insulin?
When a person with any health problem for which they are on a medication which is as powerful as insulin is not sure how to answer a question like this, it is important that the health care professsionals involved in their care understand that they have such a question and that they need to have this better explained. That may be your own doctor, or nurse or pharmacist or diabetes educator. While I could easily answer your question directly, it would not assist you in learning the larger lesson which is how to have a safe and reliable process for resolving questions like this with somebody who can assure that you fully understand. I believe I am doing you a greater service to direct you to those people to answer this for you.
