On Wednesdays I plan out my menu for the week and on Thursdays I do my shopping—the goal is to make only one trip to the grocery store each week and generally I'm able to stick to this. Of course that doesn't mean that every once in a while I don't find myself struggling to come up with a last minute idea which is why I keep a supply of extras on hand.
Here's the stuff I always try to keep on hand and why—if you've got your own suggestions please leave them in the comments because you never know what you'll find in someone else's fridge.
1. Canned pineapple. I buy canned chunks because of all the canned fruits pineapple is the most versatile. Use it in stir fry or sweet and sour pork, use it for pineapple upside down cake or to puree for pineapple sorbet. Use it as a salsa for seafood or chicken or in a salad. It goes well with pork and chicken and fish, even ham, in fact it pretty much works for any meal of the day in sweet or savory dishes hot or cold and Costco sells convenient pop top cans in nice sizes.
Canned peaches are also a good stocking item because in a pinch you can substitute peaches for mangoes in a lot of recipes such as salsas and purees.
2. Bouillon. You can keep canned broth on hand but it's bulky, especially if you're stocking up on beef, chicken and vegetable broths. Instead just keep the bouillon cubes—or better yet the granules—in their little jars. A teaspoon of granules equals a cup of broth which is also nice when you don't need a whole can. Good for soups, sauces and salad dressings you're always going to need broth.
3. Kern's juice. Kern's is a brand that makes canned fruit juices in all their lovely assorted goodness—usually the kinds of juice that are a little more difficult to come up with. Guava, apricot, peach, mango, strawberry, the cans sell for about $1.29 here and a can or two on the shelf is great for using in desserts or bread or sometimes in sweet and sour sauces. I never know when I'm going to need one but when I do I'm really glad I've got them. I also keep coconut milk and cream of coconut on hand for the same reasons--they're great for Thai and Asian recipes along with desserts.
4. Minced ginger, cilantro. You're probably familiar with bottles of minced garlic which are so helpful in the kitchen but besides these I like to keep tubes of minced ginger and cilantro as well. So many recipes call for fresh ginger or cilantro and it's not something I usually carry unless there's a specific recipe I'm planning.
The tubes keep for weeks and weeks unopened and a tablespoon is usually all you'll ever need at a time. While they're not as fresh as the produce (obviously) they taste very good in a pinch and can be used for so many dishes. The brand name is The Gourmet Garden and they have all kinds of herbs and spice varieties.
5. Canned beans. Specifically I keep canned garbanzos (chick peas), black beans and kidney beans. I keep the dry ones of course too but the dry ones take so long to cook that sometimes you need the convenience of the canned and ready to eat variety.
They're good for everything from hummus and falafel to chili and soup and salad. You can add them to tacos and enchiladas and meatloaf or mash them for vegetarian dishes as well as a great side dish with some cumin and green pepper sautéed in for spice. I rarely have tons of meat on hand--unless maybe it's some salmon or halibut filets--and having beans really beefs up a last-minute meal.
6. Frozen berries. I've always got one of those big Costco bags of berries around because they're always good for something. I can throw a handful in the microwave and make a quick syrup for pancakes or crepes, I can make a great cobbler or pie, but they're the best for smoothies when you can throw a cup of them into the blender with some of that Kern's juice I mentioned and you've got an instant smoothie treat. If you want to get really wild use them in a sauce with pork or even chicken and they add beautiful color and vitamins and punch.
7. Canned pesto. This one is so obvious but a can of pesto with a bit of pasta makes an instant meal—throw in some chopped tomatoes and pine nuts if you want to add some extra color and crunch. I use it in soups and sauces and marinade plus straight from the jar for salads or kabobs. Just a can can give you the answer to "What am I going to do for dinner?" A jar of capers or sundried tomatoes isn't a bad idea either, they're nearly as helpful.
8. Mustards. This one is pretty obvious but having a good selection of condiments is a must. Keep Dijon on hand at all times plus Worcestershire, soy and all kinds of vinegars. I keep rice vinegar, regular ol' white, apple cider vinegar, red and white wine vinegars and balsamic at all times and I'm always using them. I also keep Thai fish sauce, curry paste, lime and lemon juice around too—they're always needed.
9. Toasted wheat germ. I like to use this stuff when a recipe calls for bread crumbs because it's healthy and keeps well in jars in the refrigerator. A cup in your meatloaf or in your breading makes your meal that much friendlier to your colon.
10. Crab apple jelly. This one is a little funny but I find that my yearly supply that I make is great for lots of sauces that need a bit of sweetness. I use it in marinades for pot roasts and even things like the sauce for Monte Cristo sandwiches when I pair it up with mustard. A little egg and a little sweet and sour sauce and you can dress up a plain old toasted cheese sandwich in no time. If you don't have crab apple jelly a good substitue is currant jelly which is easily found at most grocery stores.
11. Anchovy paste. Useful in salads particularly—there's really no substitute for the kick you get from a tablespoon in the sauce. I know it sounds suspicious but you're just going to have to trust me on this. Plus it keeps forever in the fridge.
12. Mixed greens. I buy the big container of mixed spring greens from Costco nearly every week because they're washed and ready to go whenever I need a salad or some greens for hamburgers, sandwiches or wraps. They'll keep a week or so and with this crew we'll make our way through a tub of the stuff in about the same time.
13. Frozen shrimp. I like, once again, the bags I can get at Costco with the peeled and deveined tail-off shrimp. It's so handy to be able to throw some in a bowl of water for a quick defrost before throwing them into the pot of chowder or pasta, on a salad or even as a filling for crepes. They're the quick and easy way to make a meal feel more filling and substantial without adding lots of calories or fat or work. And if you consider the benefits, a bag for $13 isn't too bad, that will make several meals for us easily.
Andrew doesn't care for shrimp that much but he does like scallops so I will also keep a bag of frozen scallops in the freezer because shrimp and scallops can often be used interchangeably in a recipe.

Thanks for the idea about using wheat germ instead of bread crumbs. The last three containers of bread crumbs I've bought from the commissary has had bugs YUCK!! But such is life here. We always have wheat germ b/c we add it to the kids' instant oatmeal- and have since they were toddlers. A great way to add extra goodness!
- branda50 said...
I too like having a stocked pantry and freezer...Thanks for some great ideas..I recently read about tomato paste in a tube and then found it at the my grocery store...I buy "red things" for my daughters for VD...Wait until they see tomato paste this year in their gift bag...
- MoziEsmé said...
Never thought of using Kern's juice in sauces - I'll have to try this and see the magic it works (while in the US, of course :)
- Michemily said...
I loooooove Kern's. My grandpa always has those in his fridge and every time I visit, I take one (after drinking a glass of his homemade grape juice, yum!).
- Sage said...
Do you mind if I borrowed your idea for a post?
I will have to try and find some wheatgerm over here, sounds like it might be an interesting addition to some recipes..
Many thanks for the inspiration, ps there is an award for you on my blog, pop over and see it.
- Alison Kerr said...
I like to have:
- Italian herbs (great in home-made biscuits)
- powdered garlic (use it in rice and to make garlic bread)
- Lea and Perrin's sauce (does contain anchovies)
- Powdered Ginger (good for both savory and sweet)
- canned sardines in tomato sauce and smoked kippers
- frozen, skinned and boneless chicken breast (so versatile)
I keep a lot of other stuff but these are the ones I use most often.
- Janel said...
I try to keep my pantry well-stocked and you've given me a few ideas for some more things to keep on hand.
At a Middle-Eastern market I found fire-roasted sun dried tomatoes. Those were excellent, almost meaty because of the smokiness. I'll have to get some more of those soon. They were great in rice and bulgur salads.
- Mom24 said...
I've always wondered about the tubes of basil and cilantro. I'll have to give them a try, thanks. I love to have my basics on hand. Drives me crazy if I run out and don't have back up.
- shokufeh said...
My trick for keeping ginger on hand is to keep a hunk in the freezer. It keeps really well. When I want to use some, I use a vegetable peeler to take off a bit of skin, then use the peeler or a grater to get the amount of ginger I need. Then back into the freezer.
- Alice Wills Gold said...
Love the Kerns...my mom always had apricot on hand growing up...have never thought of doing anything more with it than drinking. How do you substitute?
You have gourmet items on hand....about all I have in common is boullion and pineapple. :)
- Scribbit said...
Tomato paste in a tube--that's interesting, I suppose it's a lot easier than opening a whole can of it.
I end up usually freezing the remainder and the it gets lost in the freezer behind the hamburger.
Sage-wheat germ is usually in the breakfast cereal aisle near things like grits and steel cut oats. And thanks for the award! I'll go take a peek.
Great idea for ginger Shokufeh, and Janel--those fire roasted tomatoes have me drooling even early in the morning.
- Anonymous said...
I have most of these on hand at all times - except anchovy paste, because my husband would revolt if I put it in anything.
But on the canned bean issue, here's what I do: I always have canned chili beans, but the rest, I buy 2 bags of dry. I cook the entire bag, and freeze it 1 2/3 cups to a freezer bag. That equals a can of beans. Then when I have a recipe that calls for a can of beans, I just pull them out of the freezer. It's about 1/3 of the price that way.
Also, I mix wheat germ and flax seed. We just like the taste and the health benefits.
- Headless Mom said...
I always keep canned, diced tomatoes. I can put a can in soup or add to a crock pot meal, I drain and blend them to use in meatloaf, and of course use when making spaghetti sauce. I also keep blocks of cheddar and jalapeno jack cheese-quesadillas and grilled cheese are obvious but add to quiches, scrambled eggs, sprinkle on salads, casseroles, I even have a crockpot veggie recipe that uses cheese.
- email@example.com said...
I am curious about your use of cream of coconut. I keep it on hand for making coconut macaroons. I understand it is usually used for fancy drinks. What do you use it for?
- CountessLaurie said...
My husband, the executive chef and chief shopper of the house always has Kern's mango and pineapple on hand. But he only ever puts them in the blender with some top shelf liquid for when mommy's had a hard day :-) MMmmm MMMM.
- Janet said...
We like to buy canned pineapple chunks and throw them in the freezer. They're great little popsicles all by themselves.
We like to add wheat germ to oatmeal and things too.
- Heather said...
Wheat germ instead of bread crumbs! Genius I tell you.
We always have canned pineapple on hand because my son loves it.
I tagged you for a meme. I'd love to see your version with the Alaskan slant: http://www.coolzebras.com/2009/01/where-im-from.html
- Melanie J said...
I am such a fan of minced herbs now, especially ginger. I cook with it often but not often enough to keep a fresh root from going bad before I use it next, so the tube stuff is awesome. For cilantro too because I hate chopping it, but I still tend to stick with fresh basil.
- MommySecrets said...
Canned pesto? I've never seen that before! Where do you find it?
- Scribbit said...
Cream of coconut is an ingredient in some of my pies, also in a couple Asian style dishes.
Good for smoothies and sorbets too.
jars of pesto are usually found around the aisle where they keep bottled spaghetti sauce or jars of sun dried tomatoes, parmesan, that kind of thing.
- An Ordinary Mom said...
Wait ... weren't you ditching your Costco membership ;) ?!?
Thanks for the fabulous tips! Some of those I already do, but knowing someone else also does them makes it that much more special :) !!
And where do you find the tubes? Do most grocery stores carry them?
- Anonymous said...
Hi Michelle,
I loved reading your list of "must haves". It is totally different than mine-- for some odd reason I was thinking only the stuff on my list were must have items. How great to see this list for another family!
Thanks for sharing,
- Maddy said...
Hmm we appear to have a lot of common ground although no Costco connection as I simply don't have the storage space for those kind of purchases.
There again, since they don't sell Marmite, I wouldn't dare darken their door.
- Erin said...
I have wheat germ in my fridge, but I had never thought of putting it in meatloaf. Thanks for the idea!
(Oh and I gave you a little plug on my blog today.)
- Flea said...
I'm going to have to add a couple of these to my list. I used to keep wheat germ, but never used it. Time to buy it again.
Some of yours are the same, like the pineapple, beans and bouillon cubes. I keep old fashioned oatmeal on hand. Noodles of all kinds. A box of brownie mix for emergencies. Cans of diced and crushed tomatoes. Bags of shredded cheese in the freezer, as well as boxes of real butter. Cans of evaporated milk.
- Anonymous said...
Great post and super ideas from your pantry! Would you post a week's meal plan for us sometime? I love to see what other people cook -- it gives me inspiration for different meals! Thanks.
- Kathryn said...
The wheat germ sounds interesting. I'll try it in my next meatloaf. I was also wondering how your Costco thing is going. I thought about not shopping there anymore and I couldn't bring myself to even try it. But I have been more dedicated to using up the produce before it goes bad - something I'm guilty of.
- Organizing Mommy said...
YOu always have such great ideas.
- * TONYA * said...
Your pantry list sounds so very much like mine.
I love Thai food so we always have stock of sauces, coconut milk, coconut cream, etc.
I also always have lots of canned and frozen fruit and the frozen nectar on hand in case we run out of fresh and I don't have time to run to the store.
The only thing I hadn't thought of was using is the herb tubes. Fantastic idea. I'll have to get some of those.
- Daisy said...
Keeping the pantry stocked saves money and time. Great list!
- Scribbit said...
Ah, you actually read my posts! Yes, I'm giving up Costco but my membership runs out the end of February so for now I'm just cutting back with the 12-step program :)
- Michele said...
As an alternative to tubed herbs, try frozen ones if you can find them. The brand is Dorot, and they come from Israel. Here is a link: http://www.dorot.co.il/Eng/Index.asp?CategoryID=27
I buy them at Trader Joe's, and they're also available at Whole Foods. They are in little cubes and each cube equals a teaspoon. Just pop out a cube when you want it. I have chopped basil and chopped garlic at the moment, but there is ginger and others as well.
I also keep Kirkland's brand four cheese frozen ravioli from Costco on hand. They boil in 5 minutes and are simply the best.
- Marie said...
Great idea for a post. I might copy it!
I have bought basil in frozen cubes at Trader Joe's, but I didn't know you could buy tubed oregano and cilantro! Yay!
One thought I would add about the bouillon: I've been cooking for 35+ years, but what I didn't know until recently is that bouillon is WAY SALTIER than broth! I found myself without any broth one day when making soup, and used bouillon cubes instead...this resulted in a very salty lentil soup. So use with caution!
- anneglamore said...
I'm glad you put a picture of the herbs in a tube. I put a recipe for larb on my blog (like the lettuce cups you get at PF Changs) and it can be hard to find fresh lemongrass but it comes in this kind of tube. We do lots of Thai cooking so it's nice to have on hand. ALso the anchovy paste.
Is everyone else saying yuck yet?
- Pamela said...
I love coconut milk. We love it in curry, but even better than that is a dessert I had at a Thai place in Cleveland years ago. Coconut ice cream, carmelized banana, coconut milk and chocolate sauce. If you needed it sweeter, you could use cream of coconut...either way, it's amazing.
- Pamela said...
Also, I received a pressure cooker for Christmas. You can cook dry beans in 15-20 minutes without soaking. I think this is my new favorite pot.
Not that this is a stocked pantry tip....
- charrette said...
I have every single one of these -- even the anchovy paste! Except the wheat germ. That's a good idea. I'll have to try it.
- Kate said...
I really enjoy your blog. Great ideas. I too like the idea about wheat germ.
- melinda said...
great idea for the wheat germ! gotta try that! thanks
- JENNIFER said...
Grocery store once a week!!???
Imagine that :)
What a good idea:)
- Jenna Consolo said...
Well, goodness, I wonder what I eat because I don't keep any of those things! Well, the berries. Sometimes wheat germ. You are one versatile and eclectic cook up there, whipping up the Asian dishes and falafel. Look at you go! I just might show up unannounced!
- Lynn said...
Anchovy paste -- now that sounds like a winner! I do love my anchovies, and I know when I've chopped them up and put them in spaghetti sauce, no one's the wiser. But I'll bet with the paste, it'd be even easier to sneak it in when no one's looking ;) Thanks for the idea.
- page2 said...
I too like to shop only once a week if I possibly can--early Saturday mornings when the rest of my family is still asleep. Anything to avoid taking 3 or 4 little kids to the store.
I want to try the anchovie paste. I hope I can find it at our WalMart.
- page2 said...
I like to keep bags of shredded cheese in the freezer. We eat a lot of cheese and it's always nice to have it available. It doesn't get moldy in the freezer, and I can't tell any difference in the quality of cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan that's been frozen (but I wouldn't freeze a block of cheese).
- Sheila said...
Thanks for that interesting list.
I'd love to see a sample list of the meals you made in a week. Future blog post idea. :) Thanks!
- SarahHub said...
I had no idea about those tubes of herbs! I'll have to get a few of those!
- Damselfly said...
I love the idea of using wheat germ instead of bread crumbs. Thanks for the idea.
- Sarah said...
I always have tons of canned tomatoes, black beans and dried fruit on hand! Thanks for your suggestions!
- Stephanie said...
I have to admit I starting reading this post primarily because of the pictured Kerns can. I love Kerns' Apricot Nectar.
Canned pineapple, Canned peaches, Canned beans, and Frozen berries are also on my "staples" list. Frozen veggies (green beans, in particular) and vanilla yogurt are also on my list.
I'm intrigued by the minced garlic product that you mentioned because I don't always have fresh garlic on-hand, but so many recipes call for it. I'll have to look into it...
Anchovy paste, on the other hand...I don't think I'll look for that at my local grocery store. ;)
- luckyzmom said...
Thanks for your, and everyone else's great ideas. Here's one of mine.
Crab apple, apple, guava, chokecherry, elderberry, grape jelly + soy sauce + chili flakes combined in ratios to your individual taste makes a fabulouse sauce for pot stickers, egg rolls, fried won tons, etc.

The breathtaking beauty of Tanzania makes it easy to forget that this East African country is categorised as a least developed and low-income food deficit country with more than 40 percent of the population living in chronic food-deficit regions, where irregular rainfall causes recurring food shortages.
Poverty remains widespread, and recent figures indicate that more than 58 percent of the population lives on less than $1 per day. The severe impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, as well as repeated climatic and economic shocks, have resulted in many households being vulnerable to food insecurity. According to the 2004/05 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey, 38 percent of children under five in the country are chronically malnourished.
Furthermore, recurring political instability and civil strife in the neighbouring countries of the Great Lakes Region (Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi) have led to major refugee influxes into Tanzania, with as many as 100,000 refugees currently living in two camps in north-western Tanzania.
WFP is working to connect farmers in Tanzania to markets through the Purchase for Progress initiative. Learn more
During 2009, WFP assisted 518,000 people through its development and relief programmes. The main interventions centred around development with school meals representing the largest activity covering more than 213,000 students at 350 schools in food insecure areas in the regions of Dodoma, Singida, Arusha and Manyara, as well as assistance provided to refugee camps in north-western Tanzania.
The Country Programme was launched in 2007, and in addition to school meals, it includes food-for-asset activities that enable vulnerable households to enhance their food security; targeted supplementary feeding mainly for children, pregnant and nursing women; and support to people living with HIV/AIDS.
Within the framework of the Country Programme, WFP Tanzania has pushed hard to increase the national focus on nutrition and particularly on fortified foods in order to improve the nutritional status of the poor. The recently introduced targeted supplementary feeing is part of that strategy.
WFP Tanzania is also collaborating with the government of Tanzania on the establishment of a national school meals programme. The discussions are at an early stage, but seek to harvest the experiences and knowledge of both parties in order to develop a sustainable programme.
WFP's Tanzania supports more than 100,000 refugees from Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in two refugee camps in north-western Tanzania. Under the operation, WFP carries out general food distributions as well as nutritional support to malnourished individuals (mainly pregnant/nursing women and children). WFP also provides support to 7,900 people in refugee host communities in the form of food for hospital patients, home-based care of HIV/AIDS patients, orphanage centres, support to vulnerable and destitute families and school feeding for complementary basic education institutions that enrol children, who were previously not attending school.
WFP Tanzania has in recent years actively participated in new initiatives being created within the UN. WFP has launched the Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative (Learn more), for which Tanzania was selected as one of the initial ten pilot countries, which aims to improve access to markets for smallholder farmers. It will further enhance WFP's move towards more local procurement and simultaneously address the root causes of hunger.
The "One UN" initiative was launched in 2007 and aims to test how the UN family can deliver in a more coordinated and efficient way at the country level. Tanzania was chosen as one of eight pilot countries and has made several efforts to enhance the process. WFP has assumed a particularly active role with regards to ICT within the "One UN" framework including the coordination of ICT trainings, projects and the One UN ICT fund.
WFP Tanzania provides logistical support services to its neighbouring countries. Through the port of Dar es Salaam, WFP Tanzania receives cargo bound not only for Tanzania, but also for DRC, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and Somalia and organises the onward transport, thus playing a crucial role in the supply line for these countries.

- Tea Tree Oil
- Vitamin C
There are three main causes of vaginal infections: the fungus (yeast) Candida albicans , the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis , and the bacterial organism Gardnerella vaginalis .
Factors that can contribute to vaginal infections include antibiotics (which kill friendly bacteria, allowing yeast to grow), corticosteroids and HIV (which suppress the immune system), oral contraceptives and pregnancy (which alter the vaginal environment by changing hormone levels), and diabetes (increased sugar levels provide a friendly environment for yeast).
Conventional medical treatment for vaginal infections caused by candida include vaginal suppositories containing antifungal medications or, in some cases, oral antifungal medications. Women with diabetes often find that yeast infections are less common when their blood sugar levels are well controlled.
Trichomonas infections are treated with oral metronidazole, and gardnerella infections with oral or vaginal metronidazole or vaginal clindamycin. So-called nonspecific vaginitis is usually caused by gardnerella , but there are other causes.
Proposed Natural Treatments
There are some promising natural treatments for vaginal infections caused by candida and other organisms, but the scientific evidence for them is not yet strong.
Probiotics (friendly bacteria), such as acidophilus, are normally found in the vagina. When colonies of these organisms are present, it is difficult for unfriendly organisms, such as candida, to become established. Probiotic supplements can help restore a normal balance of vaginal organisms, which could, in theory, reduce the chance of developing a vaginal yeast infection. 24 For this reason, women who frequently experience yeast infections, or who are taking antibiotics, are often advised to consume probiotics. However, evidence that probiotics really help prevent vaginal yeast infections remains incomplete and inconsistent. 25-26 A fairly large study (278 participants) failed to find Lactobacillus helpful for preventing yeast infections caused by antibiotics. 26 Another kind of vaginal infection, called bacterial vaginosis, is most often caused by Gardnerella vaginalis . In a study120 women with a history of bacterial vaginosis, researchers found that vaginally inserting a daily capsule containing the probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus , acidophilus, and Streptococcus thermophilus did reduce recurrence. 33 While this study found benefit, other studies have produced mixed results regarding the benefits of probiotics in the treatment and prevention of bacterial vaginosis. 29-32
Tea tree oil , an essential oil from the plant Melaleuca alternifolia , possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties 7 and appears to spare friendly bacteria in the Lactobacillus family. 8 Tea tree oil has been tried for various forms of vaginal infection, but again there is little scientific evidence as yet that it works. In an open trial, 96 women with trichomonal vaginitis were treated with tampons saturated in tea tree oil, which were left in the vagina for 24 hours, and then followed by daily vaginal douches with a tea tree oil solution. 9 The researcher reported good results with this regimen in 3 to 4 weeks. However, because this was not a double-blind trial, the results mean little. (For information on why double-blind studies are so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )
A double-blind study of 100 women found vitamin C vaginal tablets (250 mg) at most marginally helpful for nonspecific vaginitis. 28
Boric acid is a chemical substance with antiseptic properties. A double-blind comparison study of 108 women with yeast infections found that 92% of those who used boric acid suppositories nightly for 2 weeks experienced full recovery, as compared to 64% of those given suppositories of the somewhat outdated antifungal drug nystatin. 11 However, there are safety concerns with boric acid. If taken internally, it is quite toxic. For this reason, it should not be applied to open wounds. In addition, it should not be used by pregnant women, nor be applied to the skin of infants. 13
A single-blind trial, involving 100 women with candida vaginitis , compared nystatin suppositories against suppositories made from the plant Solanum nigrescens and found equivalent benefits. 14 However, this plant can be toxic and should not be used except under physician supervision.

As the co-chair for the Butler Relay for Life this past weekend at the Butler Farm Show Grounds, I am writing to share my joy and amazement in the kindness of others in Butler County.
People from all walks of life gave their time and made donations to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Brave volunteers didn't hesitate Friday evening when high winds began to blow our tents and canopies away. People dropped what they were doing to band together during the brief but powerful storm.
Baglier's of Butler sent out volunteers early Saturday morning to repair the large tent they had donated and many local businesses including Window World, D'Anthony's, Mazzanti's Beans & Cream, Marburger Dairy and others chipped in to make the event special for both cancer survivors in our area and volunteers walking to raise money.
Despite the rocky start, this year's Relay for Life was a huge success thanks to the many dedicated volunteers who stepped up to make it happen. It fills my heart to be surprised by the generosity of others. To everyone who participated in the Relay for Life, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

In your pursuit of living a healthy life how often do you think about your ears? Dr. Tunnell of the Mayo Clinic in St. James sat down with me to explain the importance of good auditory health last week and gave some hints on how to keep your hearing healthy even into old age.
In your pursuit of living a healthy life how often do you think about your ears? Dr. Tunnell of the Mayo Clinic in St. James sat down with me to explain the importance of good auditory health last week and gave some hints on how to keep your hearing healthy even into old age.
This came just after the Mayo Clinic announced they will be opening an audio booth in January 2013– which was donated by the St. James Sertoma Club – at the St. James location for those patients who need hearing aid maintenance or cleaning.
"That was something that people were having to drive down to Fairmont or to Mankato for, so to build on the program we felt like that was something we could bring to town – especially as the snow starts flying," said Mayo Clinic Administrator Ryan Smith.
The Mayo Clinic remodeled a procedure room to build on the program. The audiology department at the Mayo Clinic in St. James has made significant steps in improving patient-centric care extending their interaction with patients beyond the appointment, by offering free hearing aid cleaning at follow-up visits and a space where Dr. Tunnell can maintain hearing aids.
"The community has expressed a need for it and it's just a logical outgrowth," said Dr. Tunnell. "You test somebody's hearing and they have some hearing loss, to leave it at that is not doing the complete job."
The Mayo Clinic in St. James works hard to bring services to the residents of St. James rather than patients having to travel to different clinics around the state to get specialized care.
"A lot of hearing aids that they don't think are very good, with a little bit of cleaning can be very functional again," said Dr. Tunnell.
The maintenence area will be available every other Thursday while Dr. Tunnell is at the Mayo Clinic in St. James. Depending on the individual, patients will have their hearing devices cleaned and maintained once every two months or in some cases once every few years.
Not having a hearing device doesn't necessarily mean you should ignore your ears altogether. Prevention and awareness is important to the Audiology department at the Mayo Clinic in St. James. Dr. Tunnel gave some advice on how to care for your ears and maintain healthy hearing throughout your life.
1) Ear protection when engaging in noisy activities – mowing the lawn, snowmobiling, hunting and shooting. The most common instance of hearing loss is in farmers.
2) Wear ear plugs to loud events – when going to a concert, air show or at a auto race ear plugs can prevent the loud noise from damaging your ears.
3) Don't clean your ears with cotton swabs – nothing smaller than your elbow should go into your ear. Cotton swabs are abrasive to the ear, it scrapes away protective lining from your ear and creates fungal infections and uncomfortable itching. The ear is a self-cleaning thing. When everything is working properly the ear will clean itself. If it's not self-cleaning it is a good time to make an appointment to see an audiologist.
An appointment with an audiologist would be useful for any person who is feeling dizzy, having trouble hearing or if their ears are ringing abnormally.
"We deal with balance disorders as well because that's frequently something that's associated with the ear," said Dr. Tunnell.
There are also instances in which people come in with a hearing issue and find that there is an underlying medical condition that is creating that issue.
"A lot of people have the idea if they have trouble hearing they need a hearing aid and since they are expensive they can't do it," says Dr. Tunnell. "Our first evaluation isn't to see if they need a hearing aid, it's to see what's wrong with their hearing."
The audiology department at the Mayo Clinic in St. James works to find the cause of the loss is in order to figure out treatment options, but a hearing aid is the last option.

The city of St. James is ready for snow, and with winter just around the corner it can't hurt to be prepared for a snow emergency.
The city of St. James is ready for snow, and with winter just around the corner it can't hurt to be prepared for a snow emergency.
Snow emergencies are rare, happening maybe four to five times a year. They are declared when there is more than three inches of snow on the road. There are a few different ways you can check to see if a snow emergency has been declared:
• Check the 24 hour emergency hotline.
• Sign up for email notifications from the city of St. James.
• Check the community bulletin board in Downtown Park.
• Watch the public access TV channel.
• Listen for the announcement over the radio.
• Check the Plaindealer online.
Snow emergencies tend to take place in the middle of the night, so those people who work a swing shift are urged to pay attention to how much snow has fallen over the period of the night. If it looks like more than three inches will fall, don't park on the street.
Those vehicles parked on the street during a snow emergency will be ticketed and may be towed. The city needs room to allow the plows to clear the roads. Equipment leaves the barn typically two hours after the emergency is declared.
The city must have plowed curb to curb before you are allowed to park on the street. Plows will disperse from the railroad tracks in either direction – so those avenues closest to the railroad tracks will be plowed first.
Plows drive down the road in tandem plowing the driving lane on either side and the parking lane at the same time.
For those individuals who use city parking lots, you are asked to park in a group during snow emergencies so plows can get most of the snow out of the lot. When the plows have gone through the parking lot, they ask that you move to a cleared row and keep your cars together so plows can finish the job.
The city of St. James will plow city streets first, clear out city lots and finally business districts from curb to curb.
Your cooperation is appreciated and will keep the roads safe during the winter season.

A term that originated on Usenet, Godwin's Law states that as an online argument grows longer and more heated, it becomes increasingly likely that somebody will bring up Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Godwin's Law has effectively forfieted the argument.
"Dude, shut up. Nobody cares what you think."
"Oh, so now you're trying to censor me? Go to hell, you damn Nazi!"
"Oh, so now you're trying to censor me? Go to hell, you damn Nazi!"
by You Can't Kill the Metal June 04, 2005
Usenet There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.
"As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
by Anonymous September 09, 2003
Thanks to the Neocons, Godwin's law is now obsolete.

Plan to end car tax resuscitated by state's MORE Commission
Hartford - House Speaker Brendan Sharkey and members of the Municipal Opportunities Regional Efficiencies Commission want to lower the vehicle property tax rate beginning next year.
"The local motor vehicle property tax is the most regressive tax on the books, so we would like to put in place a plan beginning next year that will start to ratchet down mill rates on cars," Sharkey, D-Hamden, said in an email.
After Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposed phasing out the vehicle property tax starting July 1 of this year, municipal leaders protested, saying they would lose $633 million in annual revenue. In response, the Finance, Bonding and Revenue Committee pushed the vehicle property tax issue back to 2018 in a bill that passed out of committee last month.
However, the MORE Commission, which was re-established this year by Sharkey and is tasked with saving taxpayers money and creating municipal efficiencies, has continued working on the car tax and related municipal tax issues.
Starting July 1, 2014, no municipality would be able to raise its tax rate for motor vehicles above 80 mills, according to a proposal from the commission's Municipal Tax Authority working group. For the following fiscal year, starting July 1, 2015, no municipality would be able to raise the rate above 72 mills. As of now, motor vehicle property tax rates range from 10.2 mills in Salisbury to 74.29 mills in Hartford.
The tax rate would be reduced gradually until it declines to zero in 2023, according to the proposal. Towns that are already at the rate on the scale for a specific year would not have to modify until the following year. For example, Groton's tax rate, 20.22 mills, would not have to decrease until July 1, 2021, because the tax rate would not be pushed below 20.22 mills until then, according to the proposal.
To make up for the loss in revenue to municipalities, the proposal calls for the state to set up a Municipal Reimbursement and Revenue Account. Fees collected from the registration of antique, rare and special-interest motor vehicles would be deposited into this account.
Currently, the registration fee for antique or Early American vehicles is $80 every two years, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles website. In fiscal year 2012, $2.3 million was collected from registrations of Early American vehicles, said Ernie Bertothy, spokesman for the DMV. Another $63,638 was collected from a one-time $7 fee for purchasing the Early American license plate, he said.
Owners of such vehicles benefit because now, a vehicle registered as an antique can't be assessed at more than $500 for tax purposes, said working group chairman and state Rep. Jeffrey Berger, D-Waterbury. This would change as of Oct. 1, 2015, when antique vehicles could be assessed at values up to $2,500, according to the proposal.
The state currently has 51,094 registered Early American vehicles, Bertothy said. Under the proposal, the definition of an Early American vehicle - currently, one that is at least 20 years old - would change on Oct. 1, 2015, to reduce the number of vehicles eligible for this tax break. After that date, the vehicle would need to be at least 30 years old. This would reduce the number of qualifying vehicles to about 40,000, Berger said.
Once the overall motor vehicle property tax rate reaches zero, Berger said, the plan would be to eliminate the supplement to municipalities from the antique car registration fee or to come up with a new supplement.
"The governor created the discussion and the speaker was supportive of the idea, but wants to look at a way where revenue could be distributed back and slowly weaned off over time," Berger said.
Stonington tax collector Gisela Harma, who participated in the working group, said the leaders originally considered having the same tax rate across the state, but dropped that idea.
She said she is unsure whether elminating the vehicle tax would ever happen. She said she recognized that lowering the vehicle property tax means replacing the tax with something else.
We will have to "replace revenue with some other form of taxation," Harma said. But the commission wants time to look at how to do that, she said.

Some Blackberry devices use the Blackberry operating system, while others use Android. To confuse matters further, some devices, such as the Q10 and Z10, do not use Android but are still able to run Android apps.
If you have one of these devices, here is what to do:
.apk file.
You will now have Catholic Calendar on your Blackberry device. It will include a month's free trial of the full Universalis content. Try it, use it, and if you want to carry on using it when the month is up, buy a registration code.
If you can't use Android, there isn't a specific Blackberry version of the Universalis app. Here are some alternatives.
The Universalis programs on Windows and the Mac can create an e-book containing a week's or even a month's or a year's worth of Universalis content.
Several e-book readers are available for the Blackberry, and you may even have one already installed. Universalis can create e-books in the industry standard ePub format and also in the Mobipocket format that is used by the Amazon Kindle. Read more about Universalis e-books here.
(And here's a comment from a Blackberry user who creates e-books on her Mac).
You can ask the Universalis site to send you automatic daily emails containing the pages you want to read. Read more about the Universalis email service here.

It truly is free to look for over million near by personals for sex in Battersby
A well-known illustration of this kind of advertisement will be the �Exotic Christi� or �Sensual Christi� advertisements which we continuously consider down from our website. Occasionally these scammers may have a telephone quantity exactly where a feminine voice solutions (when the supplier is feminine, clearly) inside a sultry method, but most frequently they'll have only an e-mail deal with. On getting in touch with them, time you're requesting will obviously be accessible, and so they only require a little deposit �to be sure you display up as we have experienced a lot of cancellations�� Following sending the scammer the deposit (they�ll be numerous techniques) you are from luck.
Once more, much like the phony deposit advertisements, these advertisements use pictures of excellent searching ladies (or males). These advertisements although, don't have any telephone get in touch with info. The objective right here is for you personally to e-mail the individual who posted the advertisement, they'll usually reply in a short time, stating they can satisfy up along with you anytime and anywhere you would like. All you have to do is �verify your identity� - for your security from the escort, obviously! These websites will then have you ever signal as much as confirm your identification. Some will use age verification being an justification. Occasionally they'll say they will not cost your bank card, other occasions they might cost your bank card a greenback. This, sadly, occurs relatively often. The thing is a beautiful woman within an ad, you contact her up, she seems sweet, half-hour later on she�s knocking at your resort space doorway, you open up the doorway inside your gown all prepared to greet her and after that increase! Let us just say, this was not only a small little bit of photoshopping.

you probably know "the voice in your head" (for lack of a better term). To what extent can you trust that voice? Which purpose does it serve? What do you guys think about it in general with respect to anattā?
I think the things and stories told by "the voice within" if not observed and recognized carefully and mindfully are a main hindrance to understanding;

Feeling that you do not have enough to do all day, what with e-mail and voicemail and Worlds of Warcraft and computer solitaire, I thought you might like to hear about book catalogs. We have a lot of those for sale. Maybe you've noticed them, lined up in flip boxes around the Books and Authors category.
If you are like a WHOLE lot of people I know, you are wondering why we bother. "I can see selling an old Montgomery Wards catalog," you're thinking, "So I can laugh at those pictures of Victorian long underwear or reminisce about that snowcone machine Mom and Dad never bought me. But isn't a book catalog pretty much useless after two or three months?"
Let's not talk about useless, friend, or I'll ask you about that bread machine you have tucked way back in the closet, or those eighty-eight pairs of shoes up in front. Book catalogs have lost a little of their commercial usefulness with the onset of online bookselling. Bibliographic information you used to get from catalogs or reference books (did the first edition of this book have a red tint on the tops of the pages or not?) is now available through our great community brain at the flip of a switch. But they have lost none of their readability.
Readability? A catalog? Sure! Right over here I have a book catalog the dealer used to advertise books by eccentric and "marginal" poets. Item number 4 is a book of "Poems on God, patriotism, the love of mothers and the role of Ohio in world liberation". Here's another catalogue, from back in 1954, listing "Familiar Quotations in Their Earliest Appearances in Print". For just $15 you could have bought the first book to print the line "A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke" or, for $175, the first printing of the verse "Thirty Days Hath November, April, Iune, and September". (Not the way I remember it, as usual)
Here's a catalog all of books from Irish history, and here's one about books dealing with immigrants who arrived in New Orleans. Here's one that lists a lot of books about books, which makes it a book about books about books. This one is nothing but books that were made into movies (with a small section on movies that were made into books.) This one comes from a special sale of the original art for Winnie the Pooh by E.H. Shepard. I can't ever buy one of those drawings, but I can look at the pictures.
In fact, that may be the best part of all about reading old book catalogues. I may be tempted to buy, but I can't order anything from these outdated listings. Which leaves me my money to spend in July at the Newberry Library Book fair. All's Well That Ends Well. (What would it cost me to buy the first book with THAT in it?)

Title: 2009 Called./// Tooltip: 2017 called, but I couldn't understand what they were saying over all the screams.
Now this comic is made by Randall Munroe which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I actually read it, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that I was in fact still in this reality, and not in some Randall Munroe fanfic fantasy again, I looked around to make sure that no one would be upset by my raucous laughter. Satisfied that I was indeed in isolation, I let my laughter erupt like a volcanic explosion, threatening the shoddy construction jobs of my bookcases, bookshelves, and bookholes. So awesome was this comic, I decided I simply had to print it out and put it on a shirt this instant! And so, after recovering from the laughter, I did just that with the assistance of an iron (which I call "Randall") and my printer (which is called "Randall") and a white shirt (which I call "Randall").
I proceeded to dare the sunlight (after recovering from the second round of laughter originating from a glimpse of the comic, now on the shirt), understanding that I had to share this joy with more people than the internet could reach. So walking outside, I ran into a girl with glasses on, and our eyes happened to meet. The woman (for she certainly was not just a girl) looked at my shirt and knew from the stick-figures on my shirt that I, like the stick-figures, must be a witty, intelligent romantic who knows how to 'Have a good time' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be her soul-mate and/or give them money for something they called "septuple integration". I told them no, because they didn't have near enough acne, and frankly someone with an XKCD shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes forward.
I arrived at the comic book store, and instantly darted straight for the D&D section (The trading card geeks are such drags!) purposely standing away from those divine books of wisdom so that my stick-figures would show. While I was browsing through used dice (they were all D12s), I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants standing there. The geek told me that XKCD was the greatest and how I was, by association of my shirt, also the greatest (but less so than Randall, I corrected), and I was told that the geek wanted to "stick" my "figure". I was offered a swig of mountain dew, and I shuffled with the geek waddling alongside out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you XKCD.
Pros: Features witty retorts and cultural references barely seen in today's modern age.
Cons: My shirt will no longer be timely as of Wednesday the 23rd, as it will be supplanted by another diamond of hilarity.
Randall Munroe is too hilarious -- my shirt may cause someone to suffocate with laughter.
My shirt makes me sexually attractive to all humans -- too many options.
In conclusion, pretty sure we were all waiting for this. Mmmm yeah....

Not Mike Golic. According to his impartial rant on Mike & Mike the other day, Notre Dame is getting screwed and deserves to be #1 in the polls and BCS. No other teams have a case quite like Mike Golics alma mater and if they are kept out of the National Championship game, it would be a travesty, no matter how many gift rankings and BCS games were already handed them based on nothing else but being Notre Dame. I'm surpised he wasnt pushing his son for Heisman.
