Neighbors salute state champion team

WEST CHESTER TWP. - Suburban Butler County governments are hopping on the Big Blue bandwagon.

West Chester Township trustees and Fairfield City Council this week saluted the state champion Hamilton High School boys basketball team - even though they represent rival high schools in the Greater Miami Conference.

Tickets authorized for traffic hazard

LIBERTY TWP. - Motorists who turn from westbound Bethany Road into Lakota East High School can now be ticketed for a traffic violation.

No-left-turn signs have been posted at Liberty Lane, giving Butler County sheriff's deputies patrolling the road authority to write tickets, says Christine Matacic, trustees president and acting administrator.

Trustees voted last week to erect the signs after receiving complaints from Bethany Road residents about people driving improperly over the triangle-shaped concrete barrier that blocks left-hand turns into the access road.

Residents in Turtlecreek and Clearcreek townships might notice some discolored water during the next few weeks.

The Warren County Water Department is flushing the pipes during the weeks of April 19, April 26 and May 3.

WALNUT HILLS - DeSales Crossings will hold an information fair for employees, volunteers and community members from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, in the St. Francis de Sales Grade School cafeteria, 1600 Madison Road.

Food history: applesauce

I shouldn’t have complained about a lack of information on the history of hash browns – there is significantly less data out there on the history of applesauce.

As I always mention, if you have additional or conflicting information, do please feel free to comment or email.

Applesauce: It’s wholesome, kid-friendly, and helps with digestion. This magical puree of apples is often sweetened with cinnamon, and paired with a meat dish, such as pork.

Although applesauce is said to have originated in the mid-1700s, the practice of preparing sauces with apples dates back to medieval times in Europe. As with apples themselves, applesauce ranged from sweet to tart, and could accompany many different foods.

Prior to refrigeration, applesauce was an inexpensive and convenient way to preserve apples for several months at a time. This proved helpful for getting through a long winter or a drought

According to – always a great reference – the Oxford English Dictionary credits the first use of the word applesauce in print to Eliza Smith’s Compleat Housewife, 9th edition, 1769. It accompanied a recipe for duck.

Indeed, many of the first applesauce recipes were completed by adding meats. It was recommended to cook apples with fatty meats, so the sharp apple flavor balanced out the fat.

Arguably the most common meat to pair with applesauce is pork. A cookbook author of 1700s, Hannah Glasse, advocated for serving roast pork with “some good applesauce.”

Today, applesauce continues to be a versatile food, often served as a side dish with pork for adults, or as a sweet snack for kids.

Mark Bittman suggests using a food mill if making your own applesauce at home. In doing so, you don’t have to peel the apples; the peel contributes both color and flavor.

Bittman says, “Most people think of applesauce as a sweet, almost dessert-like condiment. And it can be. But I prefer a neutral approach that allows for savory seasonings.”

He recommends pairing any of the following with applesauce:

  • Black pepper
  • Cumin, coriander, or caraway
  • Minced fresh chile (ex: jalapeno), red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper
  • Chipotle chiles, dried or canned (with a little adobo sauce)
  • Minced ginger
  • Nutmeg
  • Cloves or allspice
  • Any spice blend (ex: jerk seasoning)
  • Roasted garlic

2 thoughts on “Food history: applesauce

  1. This is just what I was looking for when I did a search on the history of applesauce. I wanted to give readers on my Facebook page, Cooking with Whole Grains & Real Whole Foods, a little taste of applesauce yore, since the recipe of the day featured the homemade comestible.

    Incidentally, the best apple pie I ever ate used freshly ground dried red chilis in place of the cinnamon and no added sugar. It was amazing.

    Thank you so much!

  2. There’s a classic children’s book called Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield. It was written in 1916 but set several decades earlier. In it, Betsy, a little city kid transplanted to live with relatives in Vermont, learns to make applesauce for dinner. It was a nightly activity, similar to a child learning how to make a simple salad for dinner today. From the tone of the book, it was quite common to make up a small pot of applesauce each night to go with the meal, using an apple or two per person. In fact, in the story, it’s such a matter-of-fact activity, like wiping feet on the mat or sweeping the floor, that it must have been something common to most readers at the time. It opened my eyes to what the world was like for my grandparents and great-grandparents. I never dreamed it was so easy–not a lot harder than making oatmeal!

When to Visit

You can visit us every day of the year, even on holidays. No two visits to The Empire State Building are alike. Depending on the time, day, or season of your arrival you’ll be treated to a different perspective on the city. Standing on the Observation Deck in the middle of a snowstorm can be every bit as exhilarating as a New York sunset.

Arrive at 8AM when the Observatories open to beat the crowds and start your day off on a spectacular foot.

Walkable from many Midtown attractions, a visit to our Observatories is a great way to break up a day full of sight seeing and shopping. Try to come during meal times to avoid crowds. Don't worry about any wait, our Multi-media handheld device (included with your ticket) will keep you entertained and informed as you go through our Sustainability and Dare to Dream exhibits.

Many are surprised to find out that the Empire State Building is open until 2AM every night, the last elevator up is 1:15AM! A late night visit to our Observatories, whether after dinner or into the early morning hours to catch the illuminated skyline, will be a highlight of your trip. For some real romance, come Thursday through Saturday, 9PM - 1AM to catch our live saxophonist. Yes, he takes requests.

Rapid Reaction: White Sox 11, Twins 4

CHICAGO -- Here’s a quick look at the Chicago White Sox's 11-4 win over the Minnesota Twins at U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday.

How it happened: The White Sox’s offense came through for the second consecutive night. Paul Konerko led the way again as he went 4-for-4 with a double and a home run. He’s gone 7-for-8 with two homers in the past two games. Adam Dunn wasn’t too far behind. Dunn had three hits, including a double and a home run, and four RBIs. He tied the game at 4-4 with a two-run homer in the seventh inning. It was his major league-leading 30th of the season. Dayan Viciedo put the White Sox ahead with a two-run single later in the inning. The White Sox added five runs in the eighth inning. Josh Willingham provided the Twins’ offense with two homers and four RBIs. White Sox starter Jose Quintana didn’t factor in the decision and allowed eight hits and four runs in 6 1/3 innings. The White Sox’s bullpen shut the Twins down from there.

What it means: The White Sox moved into a tie with the Detroit Tigers for first place in the American League Central. The Tigers lost 3-2 to the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday.

Outside the box: Dunn is the fourth fastest White Sox’s player to hit 30 home runs in a season. Tuesday was Dunn’s 96th game of the season. Frank Thomas is the fastest, reaching the mark in 81 games in 1994.

Play of the game: White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez was at it again on Tuesday. In the fourth inning, he ranged to his left, fielded a ground ball up the middle, spun and threw out Joe Mauer at first base.

Up next: The White Sox close out their three-game series with the Twins on Wednesday. Jake Peavy (7-7, 3.22) will start for the White Sox, and Nick Blackburn (4-5, 7.46) will start for the Twins.

Club Penguin - New Community Blog Post - Reviewed By You: Helping Your Community

Hi there penguins!

Today, Billybob made a new What's New blog post on the Community Blog that includes a reply to last week's Reviewed By You question and more! Check out this week's Reviewed By You:

Hello Penguins!
As you may remember, last week we asked what arcade game you would invent if you could. The team was really impressed by all your great suggestions! Here's a really unique one from A L I C E C
My dream arcade game would be called Food Shot. You would take your orange puffle with you to this game. The puffle would sit in the middle of a circle, surrounded by different foods. The puffle would shoot foods (wherever you guided it) onto the edge of the circle, making matches of three or more, until the level is clear. There would be second chances if you didn't clear the level.
Excellent creative idea, A L I C E C! Now on to this week's Reviewed by You...
blog_110325.jpgEver since the recent disasters in places like New Zealand and Japan, a lot of you have asked how you can get involved to help. There are many ways to help others in need, and giving money is only one of them. You can also give your time to help, too! So this week, we want to hear about a time that you and a friend worked together to help your community!
Write your review as a short comment (50-75 words, please!) We'll pick one comment to feature in next week's Reviewed By You. If your review is featured next week, we'll add 10,000 coins to your account. Don't forget to use your penguin name so we can add the coins!

Getting Through Cold & Flu Season with Little Remedies – #MC #LittleRemedies

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Little Remedies.  I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Cold and Flu Season is upon us now, in fact, 3 out of the 4 of us in our family is sick at this very moment. For my 6 year old I totally have been pushing liquids and for her cough, of course Little Remedies Honey Cough Syrup. She’s actually had some horrible issues with her nose and the Saline Spray Drops work absolutely terrific for her. I just put some in each nostril and use a bulb to get the yuckies out. It works like a charm. I will say she’s not a fan of it, but it works and it’s quick. Anything to make my babies feel better is a plus in my book.

During Cold and Flu season I always run our air purifier and diffuse some essential oils to try to keep our home germ free, but with a 3 year old and 6 year old going to school, they are around germs all the time. Sometimes it’s just impossible to escape the germs, and for that I LOVE Little Remedies. I’ve been using Little Remedies since my 6 year old was just a baby! They’re products have always worked amazing for me and I’ve had no complaints.

Little Remedies products are as natural as can be, which is something I look for when it comes to my children. Little Remedies was developed by a father, who was looking for effective medicines for his children, that contained ingredients he could feel good about.  Their philosophy is less is more. When it comes to my girls, I believe less is more too! Little Remedies is a company I can feel good about when it comes to my children!

Recently when my 3 year old was sick with a bad cough, I just didn’t have anything to give her (4 and under you shouldn’t give cough syrup), but then I remembered Little Remedies has created a 100% natural Honey Cough Syrup, made simply from honey, purified water, and a natural preservative. Just 3 ingredients!  It’s made for ages 12 months and up. Just perfect for my 3 year old! I jumped in the car and headed right to the store to pick some up. It worked like a charm for her and she didn’t complain one bit about the taste either!

The Little Remedies line of products helps relieve fevers and cold and flu symptoms in infants and children (ages 0-11) which is perfect for my children. Little Remedies is the first section I go to when I head to my local pharmacy or store when my kiddos aren’t feeling well.

Buy it: You can purchase Little Remedies products at your local pharmacy, supermarket, or national chain stores.

  1. I love that all of Little Remedies products are all-natural and free of potentially harmful ingredients which I would never want to give to my children.

  2. Shilo Wheatley says:

    I love little remedies! I currently have 2 sick kiddos and it’s only a matter of time before we all have it as well! I would much rather use these all natural products!

  3. Sarah Matos says:

    I tend to buy little remedies when my girls are sick. The price is reasonable and the medicine is effective.

  4. It’s heartbreaking to see the little ones suffering with a cold or the flu. Especially, if they’re too young to vocalize,other than screaming. I like using all natural products. They didn’t have this brand when mine were young. It sounds good and safe to use.

Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Demi Lovato took naked pictures of herself, of course

demi 4

There were rumours going around for the past few years that Demi Lovato nude photos were being shopped around to the highest bidder. I’m not sure who paid up, but they’ve hit the Internet. Some of them were with on-again/off-again boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama and all of them are… not something any of us really need to see.

There are only one or two that are truly “NSFW”, if you will, but I’ll throw them all behind a cut just to be on the safe side.

It’s hard to predict who the “chosen one” will be to light the Olympic torch today, but the Internet is abuzz with contenders.

Sir Roger Bannister is currently the favorite for the task. Bannister, 83, became the first man to break the four-minute mile in 1954. Former English decathlete Daley Thompson is also in the mix.

In the past, torch lighters have included members of royalty, global icons, and young, up-and-commers as well; Prince William (and potentially wife Kate Middleton) or 22-year-old basketball player Amber Charles, who played a key role in London’s bid to host the 2012 Olympics, could also light the flame.

We’ll throw in soccer stud David Beckham and Sean Connery as possibilities, too. (The Scottish Connery is technically English, and he was James Bond.)

“It gives life to the Games. It’s the fire which supposedly came from the Greek gods of the past. There have been a lot of famous, and not so famous people who have lit the flame,” BBC commentator Barry Davies told the International Business Times.

Whoever is chosen for the honor by the British Olympic Association, he/she will join the ranks of greats like Muhammad Ali and Wayne Gretzkey.

Michael Bolton proved his knack for comedy on SNL and apparently it was enough to score his own show.

EW has confirmed that ABC has put into development a half-hour comedy pilot starring the Grammy winner, titled Michael Bolton’s Daughter Is Destroying My Life.

Bolton will star as a fictional version of himself. (Hey, it worked for Apartment 23.)

The show, inspired by Go On actress Allison Miller’s first years in Hollwood, will center on a young writer who takes a job working as head of Bolton’s social media. But per the title, Bolton’s daughter will prove to be a challenge to work around.

Ringarooma celebrates being Legendairy capital at show

Ringarooma’s population always swells for its show, but this year the town’s event was even bigger as the community celebrated being the Legendairy capital of Australia.

The usually quiet dairy town of 232 grew tenfold for the show this year as Tasmanians joined the Ringarooma community event at the primary school.

With activities spanning calf judging, jumping castles, “cowfies” (cow selfies) and milkshakes.

Dairy Australia community project manager Natasha Busbridge congratulated Ringarooma and said the event was a well-deserved celebration for the town, the community and the locals behind the nomination.

“It’s clear that dairy is at the heart of Ringarooma – the people recognise the role dairy farmers play in the social fabric of the town and the contribution they make to the industry and the Australian economy – and that’s what this program is all about,” Ms Busbridge said.

“A big thanks to the Ringarooma Show Society, the community groups and supporters who brought this celebration to life,” she said.

Ringarooma received a $2500 community grant to renew recreational areasat Ringarooma Primary School, extend the school’s vegetable garden and maintaining the town’s defibrillator.

As the national title holder, Ringarooma received an additional $7500 to help restore the school’s historical dairy to connect students with the local dairy industry.

First Part :

Nowadays, nothing in this world is free. Everything has a corresponding price and cost. That’s why money plays an important role in one’s life. It means losing weight requires finances. But, do not worry there are ways to lose weight fast easy and affordable.

lose weight fast easy

Many are searching for the best way to lose weight fast. Because some are tired of wearing extra large shirts, being camera shy and a laughing stuff to their friends. That’s why some are doing the best thing they can to reach their goal.

Due to the interest to be fit and healthy. Others are taking fast lose weight pills as recommended by others or as watch in any advertisements. For some it is effective but there are few people who become a victim of illegal dietary medicine. As a result, complication and illness arise.

There is no magical spell or special power to achieve the best way to lose weight fast. It is not an overnight fantasy. But, it is a process a continuous step in reaching your goal. It is natural to spend money to lose weight but it is not a requirement to be expensive.

40 Fast, Easy Tips

You do not need to have more money. It is a matter of being wise and practical. A lot of ways to lose weight fast easy and affordable. In  www.rd.com  presents the “How to Lose Weight: 40 Fast, Easy Tips” from Stealth Health (Reader’s Digest Association Books)

From 1. to 20. :

1. Write down what you eat for one week and you will lose weight.

Studies found that people who keep food diaries wind up eating about 15 percent less food than those who don’t. Watch out for weekends: A University of North Carolina study found people tend to consume an extra 115 calories per weekend day, primarily from alcohol and fat. Then cut out or down calories from spreads, dressings, sauces, condiments, drinks, and snacks; they could make the difference between weight gain and loss.

2. Add 10 percent to the amount of daily calories you think you’re eating.

If you think you’re consuming 1,700 calories a day and don’t understand why you’re not losing weight, add another 170 calories to your guesstimate. Chances are, the new number is more accurate. Adjust your eating habits accordingly.

3. Get an online weight loss buddy to lose more weight.

A University of Vermont study found that online weight-loss buddies help you keep the weight off. The researchers followed volunteers for 18 months. Those assigned to an Internet-based weight maintenance program sustained their weight loss better than those who met face-to-face in a support group.

repeat positive thoughts to yourself

4. Get a mantra.

You’ve heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? If you keep focusing on things you can’t do, like resisting junk food or getting out the door for a daily walk, chances are you won’t do them. Instead (whether you believe it or not) repeat positive thoughts to yourself. “I can lose weight.” “I will get out for my walk today.” “I know I can resist the pastry cart after dinner.” Repeat these phrases and before too long, they will become true for you.

5. After breakfast, stick to water.

At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That’s nearly 90,000 calories a year—or 25 pounds! And research shows that despite the calories, sugary drinks don’t trigger a sense of fullness the way that food does.

6. Eat three fewer bites of your meal,

One less treat a day, or one less glass of orange juice. Doing any of these can save you about 100 calories a day and that alone is enough to prevent you from gaining the two pounds most people mindlessly pack on each year.

7. Watch one less hour of TV.

A study of 76 undergraduate students found the more they watched television, the more often they ate and the more they ate overall. Sacrifice one program (there’s probably one you don’t really want to watch anyway) and go for a walk instead.

30 minutes carwash you can loss till 120 calories

8. Wash something thoroughly once a week.

Whether that’s a floor, a couple of windows, the shower stall, bathroom tile, or your car, a 150-pound person will burn about four calories for every minute spent cleaning. Scrub for 30 minutes and you could work off approximately 120 calories, the same number in a half-cup of vanilla frozen yogurt.

9. Wait until your stomach rumbles before you reach for food.

It’s stunning how often we eat out of boredom, nervousness, habit, or frustration—so often, in fact, that many of us have actually forgotten what physical hunger feels like. If you’re hankering for a specific food, it’s probably a craving, not hunger. If you’d eat anything you could get your hands on, chances are you’re truly hungry. Find ways other than eating to express love, tame stress, and relieve boredom.

more frequently people sniffed, the less hungry they were

10. Sniff a banana, an apple, or a peppermint when you feel hungry.

You might feel silly, but it works. When Alan R. Hirsch, M.D., neurological director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, tried this with 3,000 volunteers, he found that the more frequently people sniffed, the less hungry they were and the more weight they lost—an average of 30 pounds each. One theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain into thinking you’re actually eating it.

11. Stare at the color blue.

There’s a good reason you won’t see many fast-food restaurants decorated in blue: it functions as an appetite suppressant. So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. Conversely, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas. Studies find they encourage eating.

eating in front of mirrors slashed the amount people ate by nearly one-third

12. Eat in front of mirrors and you’ll lose weight.

One study found that eating in front of mirrors slashed the amount people ate by nearly one-third. Having to look yourself in the eye reflects back some of your own inner standards and goals, and reminds you of why you’re trying to lose weight in the first place.

13. Spend 10 minutes a day walking up and down stairs.

The Centers for Disease Control says that’s all it takes to help you shed as much as 10 pounds a year (assuming you don’t start eating more).

14. Walk five minutes for at least every two hours.

Stuck at a desk all day? A brisk five-minute walk every two hours will parlay into an extra 20-minute walk by the end of the day. And getting a break will make you less likely to reach for snacks out of antsiness.

Burning an additional 300 calories a day with three miles of brisk walking (45 minutes should do it)

15. You’ll lose weight and fat if you walk 45 minutes a day, not 30.

The reason we’re suggesting 45 minutes instead of the typical 30 is that a Duke University study found that while 30 minutes of daily walking is enough to prevent weight gain in most relatively sedentary people, exercise beyond 30 minutes results in weight and fat loss. Burning an additional 300 calories a day with three miles of brisk walking (45 minutes should do it) could help you lose 30 pounds in a year without even changing how much you’re eating.

16. Don’t buy any prepared food

That lists sugar, fructose, or corn syrup among the first four ingredients on the label. You should be able to find a lower-sugar version of the same type of food. If you can’t, grab a piece of fruit instead! Look for sugar-free varieties of foods such as ketchup, mayonnaise, and salad dressing. Also, avoid partially hydrogenated foods, and look for more than two grams of fiber per 100 calories in all grain products. Finally, a short ingredient list means fewer flavor enhancers and empty calories.

17. Put your fork or spoon down between every bite.

At the table, sip water frequently. Intersperse your eating with stories for your dining partner of the amusing things that happened during your day. Your brain lags your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to satiety (fullness) signals. If you eat slowly enough, your brain will catch up to tell you that you are no longer in need of food.

big jeans
Once you’ve started losing weight, throw out or give away every piece of clothing that doesn’t fit.

18. Throw out your “fat” clothes for good.

Once you’ve started losing weight, throw out or give away every piece of clothing that doesn’t fit. The idea of having to buy a whole new wardrobe if you gain the weight back will serve as a strong incentive to stay fit.

19. Close the kitchen for 12 hours.

After dinner, wash all the dishes, wipe down the counters, turn out the light, and, if necessary, tape closed the cabinets and refrigerator. Late-evening eating significantly increases the overall number of calories you eat, a University of Texas study found. Stopping late-night snacking can save 300 or more calories a day, or 31 pounds a year.

20. Walk before dinner and you’ll cut calories AND your appetite.

In a study of 10 obese women conducted at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, 20 minutes of walking reduced appetite and increased sensations of fullness as effectively as a light meal.

  1. These are truly amazing!!! I personally like the idea of eating while looking at mirror, you will start thinking in case of extra meal requirement. Determination can help you lose weight with proper diet schedule.

Timneh African Grey Parrot - African Grey Psittacus E Timneh Bird

Timneh African Grey Parrot African Grey

Notable traits of the Timneh African Grey Parrot Bird: African Grey (Psittacus E Timneh )
Latin Name: Psittacus E Timneh
Common Name: Timneh African Grey Parrot
Description: The Timneh Afircan Grey parrots are generally have a darker breast and abdomen lighter, under tail-coverts tinged with red. The tail feathers are a dark red-brown and upper mandible pink-horn colour with blackish sides bare facial area and the head feathers have a pale edging. The greys lower back is light grey and primaries grey-blackish. Iris pale yellow and they have dark grey feet.
Gender Determination: Can only be determined by DNA test
Trainability: The Timneh Grey is a playful bird and is very trainable.
Length: 30 cm (12 ins)
Average Lifespan: 50 years
Average Weight: 370 - 534 g
Diet: Pellets, Fruit, Veggies, Rice, Pasta, and some seed
Housing: Medium sized Cage
Loudness: Timneh are moderately loud and can be somewhat noisy at times.
Talking Ability: Excellent talkers and mimics these birds can accurately imitate specific human voices and household noises such as the doorbell telephone or microwave. There is still some controversy over whether the Timneh Grey parrot is merely a superb mimic or truly understands some of what it says. These birds possess an uncanny knack for using words in a situational appropriate manner leading some people to believe they have the mentality of a three-year-old human child.
Notes: The Timneh Grey is extremely intelligent, perhaps topping all other parrots in its ability to learn new things throughout a lifetime. Adult Timneh Grey are considered shy and introverted, and usually bond with only one person, being aloof with everyone else. They need to be constantly worked with so they do not fall in to this common trait.

Being so intelligent, Greys seem to adore puzzle-type toys that make them solve puzzles to reach a treat. Once they figure out how to solve such puzzles, they can often reach the treats inside within seconds.

These birds have been vaccinated for the polyoma virus. It is crucial for young birds to be protected as they have little to no immune system for their first year of life. Just as people, cats, dogs are vaccinated, we use vaccines to substantially decrease the incidence of disease in birds. By doing this we have developed a positive reputation that separates us from the "birdie mills" that do not aspire to the same standards. We have a vet on the premises bi-weekly that administer this vaccine and monitors our babies and flock.
Breeding Notes: In most parts of the world, African greys breed when they have short daylight hours. In the Canada this is winter time. Most greys start copulating in October with egg laying starting in November and chicks hatching in December. Since greys are cyclic layers, it does no good to pull eggs for incubation. About the time the first of the season chicks are weaning and become independent, the pair may go back to nest. This would be about March or April, about four months from egg laying to egg laying. The greys then take a rest until next November. Indoor breeding may cause greys to lay year around, but I do believe after a few years of this, it may throw their cycle off and they quit laying for a few years.
Age of Maturity: 3
Breeding Life: 25
Nest: L-Box 10 x 20 inches
Breeding Aviculture: Yes Common
Average Clutch Size: 3-5
Habitat: Western parts Upper Guinea forests Sierra Leone and southern Mali

One of the Hardest Things to Go Through

Back in March of this year I found out that I was pregnant right after my husband left for Iraq. We were both very excited. I told our families and I told my son. Everyone was so excited for us. But then in May I misscarried. Here I was living in a new state alone with my son. Didn't have my husband or any of my family around. I had to go to the hospital 3 different times because the pain was too bad and they had to keep giving me stronger pain medicine. I slipped into a deep depression. I wanted that baby so bad. Not only was me and my husbands heart broken but my son's too. He really wants a little sibling. But as time passes it has gotten easier. I belive that there is a reason why I lost the baby. Even though I don't really know the reason I'm sure it was for the best. We can always try agian. And this time I won't tell everyone so soon.

I Lost My Mother to Colon Cancer

Although we were not very close nor was she with her mom. When she died in Nov 06, I felt like a part of me had died too, and I can not explain it. The pain was soo intense I did not know what to do, I prayed and cryed my heart and soul out for 6 months, then it finally started to subside. I learned that she lives on in all those she left behind. I let go of God during this time, but He never let go of me, without Him, I don't know how I would have endured this trauma, but I made it and you can too! Even when the strong are broken they need someone stronger to lean on.

Part II -

Differential analysis involves knowing which costs are relevant, i.e. future costs that vary among alternatives. It is important to know what information to use and not just how to execute the analysis.

Herrestad Company receives an offer to make a new product, called C, for a new customer. The customer wants to buy 1,000 units. Product C has the same cost structure as product B with three exceptions. The new customer is only willing to pay $150 per unit, direct materials costs will decrease by $12 per unit and Herrestad does not have to incur any variable selling and administrative expenses.

  • Make a list of the expenses and amounts that are relevant for this decision. How much will the sale of this product contribute to the profitability of Herrestad?
  • What if the company only pays $140 per unit? How does this change the contribution towards profitability?
  • If you were the manager, would you accept this order? What considerations, other than financial would enter into your decision?

3 County employees disciplined after displaying noose

| October 21, 2014 | 2 Comments

[do action=”schuh”/]

Anne Arundel County Executive, Laura Neuman

Anne Arundel County Executive, Laura Neuman

County Executive Laura Neuman hosted a press conference yesterday to stress the important role cultural sensitivity plays in the diverse workforce that composes Anne Arundel County government. Spurred by a recent isolated incidence of racial and cultural insensitivity – in which three employees were disciplined for fashioning and displaying a noose and exchanging inappropriate jokes – the event highlighted efforts present and future by county government to develop a more culturally sensitive workforce.

“Our employees are our greatest asset, and it’s critical that we facilitate a diverse work environment in which everyone is given equal opportunity,” said County Executive Neuman. “Understanding the sensitivity of racial and cultural differences is the first step in preventing discrimination and harassment. This administration recognized early on the need for Diversity Training and for the creation of a compliance officer position, and this incident reinforces both.”

At the administration’s directive, the county’s Office of Minority Affairs has to date hosted 30 Diversity Training sessions for over 360 supervisors, managers and assistants across nine departments to help county employees develop the cultural competence needed to support workplace diversity. Most recently, Minority Affairs also hosted a session for employees in the department in which the incidence of insensitivity occurred.

In the interest of improving how incidences of cultural insensitivity are handled, the administration began discussion over a year ago regarding the establishment of a compliance officer position. A resolution to create this position will be heard by the County Council tonight. If passed, the compliance officer would be responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with federal, state and local laws that prohibit discrimination and harassment in county government.

“As with any continually progressing issue like cultural sensitivity, there will always be room for growth in any and every organization,” County Executive Neuman said. “Anne Arundel County is not far off from where it should be, but we can do better.”

X marks the spot in B.C. Lions' search for field-stretching wideout

Geraldo Boldewijn

More on This Story

Kamloops — With a few exceptions, there isn’t a lot of French spoken at the B.C. Lions' training camp. And yet, the Canadian Football League team remains in search of a wide receiver with the quality of “je ne sais quoi” about him.

That’s French for a “soft-handed pass catcher who can stretch the field and become a highlight-video staple.”

The Lions need an X-factor to play the X position, football terminology for the short-side wide receiver whose dangerous ability keeps defensive backs ever vigilant and can take a home-run ball to the house.

NFL veteran Lavelle Hawkins fit the designation perfectly before he abruptly retired from the Lions last week. Now, into the third week of training camp, the search for his replacement continues.

“Whether I see him here or not, on June 25 (the Lions’ season opener), there’s going to be somebody playing there (X position),” explained Lions head coach Wally Buono. “We want to make sure we explore as many options as we can. In fairness to the guys, if it means we have to move another player from another position we’ll have to do that. We’ve got three more practices (in training camp) and a pre-season game to figure it out.”

Neither holdover Terrence Jeffers-Harris nor rookies Kendrick Ings and Devonn Brown distinguished themselves at X in last Saturday’s 28-16 pre-season win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. But it was not through a lack of execution. It was lack of opportunity in Regina.

Jeffers-Harris was targeted twice but didn’t make a reception. The same with Ings, who was targeted just once. Brown grabbed a simple five-yard hitch pass and exulted to finally have a CFL catch to record in his diary.

“I would love to touch the rock,” said Ings, who showed up five years ago at a Lions’ free-agent tryout camp and was told he needed more experience. He was just 20 at the time.

“When you don’t get the ball, you still need to follow your assignment,” Ings continued. “I want to be on the same page as the quarterback. I missed a good ball on Saturday, when I lost some speed coming out of my break. That was on me. I have to do better next time.”

Another X candidate who missed the Saskatchewan game because of a minor injury (hamstring) and illness (flu), Geraldo Boldewijn didn’t lose any ground in the competition to start. But Boldewijn knows it’s difficult to make a team from the infirmary.

“It kind of sucks, watching the game on TV (in Kamloops) and not being out there with the guys,” Boldewijn admitted. “I’m looking to be back sometime this week.”

He hopes to play this Friday at B.C. Place Stadium, when the Lions face the Calgary Stampeders in their final pre-season game.

From the Netherlands, Boldewijn first stoked his interest in North American football by playing Madden NFL video games and becoming a mad supporter of the Amsterdam Admirals, the defunct NFL Europa team where Lions quarterback Travis Lulay played for a time.

A raw, undrafted talent from Boise State, Boldewijn has continued to pique NFL interest, largely because of his imposing 6-4, 220-pound physique, pterodactyl wingspan and quickness (4.5 seconds for the 40-yard dash).

After playing a single, albeit breakout game, for the Lions last season, he had a tryout with the Baltimore Ravens and talked with a number of NFL teams before re-signing in B.C.

Perhaps they were intrigued by video clips of his only start, in game No. 18 last year. Lining up at the X position, the Dutchman had three receptions for 64 yards, including a 50-yard strike from Lulay that was the Lions’ third-longest completion in the 2015 season.

“He’s a long strider,” Lulay says. “If you remember last year, I hit him with a deep ball to the sidelines. He showed good speed on that. That spot (X receiver), there have been a few guys who’ve rotated through there and done some good things. But I truthfully don’t know. I’m confident we have the guys. But who that is ... remains to be seen.”

Outsized, elongated yet inexperienced, Boldewijn could turn out to be the least likely yet most underrated weapon in the Lions’ passing game, if he ends up being flipped from slotback to wide receiver.

He could be an X factor.

Alas, the third last letter of the alphabet also represents the unknown.

Calgary Stampeders at B.C. Lions

Smoking licence on the agenda

SMOKERS may soon be forced to carry a licence to smoke in a bid to limit access to cigarettes and encourage quitting.

The radical idea was suggested by University of Sydney Professor Simon Chapman.

Professor Chapman, from the School of Public Health, outlined his idea for a smart card licence in an interactive open-access journal, PLOS One Medicine.

The licence would set smoker's daily limits, as well as give financial incentives for permanent licence surrender and test knowledge of smoking health risks.

When told of the proposal several Fairfield smokers were not impressed.

Saf Patti, who has been smoking for 15 years, said the proposal , if approved, would not deter him from smoking.

"If anything it will increase my ability to smoke. This will backfire 100 per cent. It's very bad, it really is a joke," he said.

"I won't be surprised if they bring out a licence to breathe."

His friend Andy Butros, who has been smoking for 11 years, agreed.

He said there were already laws about smoking in place so there was no need to bring out more.

"It's a free country. People can do what they like so where's the democracy in that?" he said.

"If the government wants to control it, then why don't they shut down the factories that make tobacco?

"How far are they going to go? Soon they'll start bringing out mobile vans and people will have to smoke inside them."

Professor Chapman said the smoker's licence would allow smokers the choice to continue smoking within a regulatory framework.

"It may seem like a radical step toward ending the epidemic of disease caused by tobacco, but it is far less radical than prohibiting the sale of tobacco, which is not a strategy that has yet been supported by any international expert report or political forum," he said.

But Australasian Association of Convenience Stores executive director, Jeff Rogut labelled Professor Chapman's suggestion "insulting".

"The notion that smokers should require a licence to smoke is at odds with the most important concept of consumerism in this country: the right to choose," he said.

"For government to even entertain the thought of such an insulting and discriminatory scheme would be a clear admission that it has no faith in its own plain packaging regulations."

• All smokers would be required to obtain a smart swipecard licence for purchases from a licenced tobacco retailer.

• Most licence registrations would take place online, providing a useful database on tobacco use and a means to communicate health messages to smokers.

• Smokers would pre-commit to a certain number of cigarettes a week.

• The more cigarettes a licencee opted for, the higher the fee. There would be an upper limit of 50 cigarettes per day, averaged across 14 days, and the licence would be renewed annually.

• As an incentive to quit, all licence fees paid during a smoker's licenced smoking history would be fully refundable, with compound interest if they surrendered their licence.

Interactive Notebooks

What is an Interactive Notebook?

  • An interactive student notebook includes class notes, drawings, diagrams, timelines, class work, opinions, reactions, and homework.  In a nutshell, the notebook becomes the student’s personalized [insert subject matter] text.
  • If you do a simple Google search you will find that History, Science, and Language Arts classes use this concept the most but there is no reason that Family Consumer Science courses couldn’t do the same!
  • Interactive Student Notebooks  PPT

Why are Interactive Notebooks so special?

  • Interactive notebooks are special because they require students to process information for themselves. They way this is done is that on the left side a of a notebook there are class notes, quizzes, handouts, etc. On the right side of the notebook there are student generated content such as pictures, advertisements that fit the theme, cartoons, reactions, responses, questions, etc.
  • Notebooks are graded, keep students engaged and require students to process the content in content heavy courses.
  • When students are absent, the teacher keeps his/her own notebook for classroom reference so that students who are absent can see what was done while they were out.

    Hi: I've used interactive notebooks to teach science for a number of years. This year I was reassigned to teach FCS, and of course utilized my trusty notebooks. It is a wonderful tool. I could not teach without them. I especially appreciate the templates you have published.

    Thank you for posting this information. I just finished our Georgia ACTE Conference and was fortunate to get to see some examples of interactive notebooks in person. They had adapted some of the common foldables to use within the notebooks. They also created opportunities for students to sort information. They would have the students label the categories and create very small pockets under the categories where they could slip in a small sheet of paper with a term, photo, definition, etc shown on it. They kept all the part in an envelope on the opposite page. The envelope then had a small piece of velcro on the tab to prevent the loss of pieces. This sorting activity is something that we might do as a group effort, but when done on a small scale for the notebook, it allows the students to take it home to study, too.

    @Serina, I attended the GACTE conference as well and that is what prompted my interest in the interactive notebooks. I am searcing the internet for all of the information that I can find as I plan to use this tool in my classroom this year.

    Ditto with Alison's comment! I used interactive notebooks originally to teach earth science, but realized I could not teach without them and so I introduced them to FCS and health students as well. They worked wonderfully and the students had a lot of pride in them which made me happy.

    Thanks so much, I have been looking into these wondering if I should start with one of my preps this fall and didn't see much in FCS…I should of know to come to your site first. Thanks so much for all your great resources all year long! I am always promoting your site in Idaho:)

    Well, I'd say that the interactive notebooks are a huge hit in my nutrition class. The majority of the kids, really seem to enjoy the hands-on appeal of the notebooks. I even have some students competing to see who will have the best notebook at the end of the unit. I will have them create a new notebook for each unit out of loose-leaf notebook paper bound in a bright colored paper. A huge benefit of the notebook is that the kids have everything they need right there.

      Sarina – what type of format do you use for your Nutrition class? I team-teach with the athletic trainer in a course called nutrition and fitness, and am considering using the notebook, as we have gaps between classes, because we split our teaching time. This would help the students stay on task, I believe, and fill in some of the gaps.

    Would anyone be willing to share some of the materials you use for your interactive notebooks? I have middle schools FCS classes. Just at a loss of where and how to start…

    I would be more than willing to share the IPad resources I am creating to use with a classroom set of I pads.

• 2000 AD

    Jul 3, 2015

    Although this movie was enjoyable from start to finish, it still lacked something to make it an above average thriller, while the few surprises in store make it unlikely to be viewed more than once.

  • Blood Brothers

    Feb 24, 2015

    Not a complete waste of time as it does provide some basic gangster movie stylings but ‘Blood Brothers’ is just that: an exercise in style and a style that has been done much better by other films.

  • Don’t Go Breaking My Heart

    Mar 8, 2015

    ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart’ is lightweight entertainment but never threatens to be even more, despite a few sweeping romantic theatrics

  • DragonBlade

    Mar 9, 2015

    The film provides a really fun and family friendly take on the genre, as well as giving a knowing glance in the direction of traditional kung fu movie fans.

  • Drink, Drank, Drunk

    Mar 9, 2015

    Despite a few criticisms, Yee has crafted a capable film with a tender heart, something not easy to achieve in the cynical world of film-making.

  • Hit Team

    Mar 25, 2015

    In comparison to what ‘Hit Team’ could have been with a slightly bigger budget and a better realised narrative, this is a disappointment.

  • Hot Summer Days

    Mar 26, 2015

    ‘Hot Summer Days’ manages the feat that so many productions using multiple stories flatly fail with, namely making each of the plot strands interesting rather than just using a few as killers and the rest as fillers.

  • House Of Fury

    Mar 26, 2015

    It doesn’t rank up there with the best of any genre but for a lightweight action-comedy it is worth a watch.

  • Love Undercover

    Apr 16, 2015

    Although it is a lightweight effort that doesn’t generate too many belly laughs, ‘Love Undercover’ succeeds with an immense charm that sweeps the viewer away.

  • Love Undercover 2: Love Mission

    Apr 16, 2015

    Joe Ma’s goal is to create a fun comedy that highlights the charm of Miriam Yeung and absorbs the viewer in her outlandish adventures – in this regard the film is a definite success.

  • Naked Weapon

    May 3, 2015

    Worth a look if you are a fan of the genre, as much of the action hints at the potential on offer when such talented choreographers are available.

  • New Police Story

    May 4, 2015

    The performances from all parties are excellent, and Jackie has reinstalled a little faith in me that he is still capable of making a good action movie.

  • Overheard

    May 10, 2015

    A well-scripted, superbly executed thriller with a formidable triumvirate at the centre, this could well be one of the best genre films to have come from Asia in the past few years.

  • Overheard 2

    May 10, 2015

    While ‘Overheard’ was an excellent homage to the great American conspiracy films of the 70s, the in-name-only sequel is a more routine two hours with a far less incisive denouement.

  • Overheard 3

    May 10, 2015

    Wordy, but with nothing to say, this is a verbose movie populated by monumentally dull characters and bland ‘twists’ that fail to hold the attention.

  • Protege

    May 16, 2015

    A gripping and often uncompromising look at the Hong Kong drug trade from the seller’s and user’s side, Derek Yee’s ‘Protege’ is one of the finest dramas to come out of Hong Kong in recent years.

  • Purple Storm

    May 16, 2015

    If you’re not expecting a deep examination into Asia’s politics then ‘Purple Storm’ is an absorbing and emotionally charged action-thriller that does more than just pass the time.

  • Shinjuku Incident

    May 24, 2015

    There’s some very powerful visual displays of violence that pepper the film throughout, showing us that if you turn to the dark side you really will become slave to its master.

  • Sky On Fire

    Aug 25, 2017

    Ringo Lam in the director’s chair should ensure a film that is at least cohesive. ‘Sky On Fire’ shows that this faith in the film-maker may be currently under review as this incredulous action thriller is a messy, wildly inconsistent affair.

  • Tai Chi Hero

    Jun 7, 2015

    The style of this sequel is just as frenetic as its forerunner, combining visual cues from video games and anime along with the steam-punk vision of 19th century China.

  • The Banquet

    Feb 20, 2015

    While it doesn’t always engage and could have used a little more oomph come the second half, Feng Xiaogang’s film is still a decent attempt at dynasty drama.

  • The Great Magician

    Mar 21, 2015

    Though ‘The Great Magician’ recalls films like ‘The Prestige’ and ‘The Illusionist’, Derek Yee’s offering is much lighter in tone.

  • The Twins Effect II

    Jun 19, 2015

    As Donnie Yen says at the film’s conclusion “The future is in the hands of these young people” – on the evidence of ‘Twins Effect II’, this isn’t a comforting thought.

• 13 Assassins

    Jul 2, 2015

    A grand tale of men banding together to fight an unrelenting evil, content to die if they can free their land from the marauding tyrant and his gargantuan army.

  • Himizu

    Mar 25, 2015

    Not as enjoyable or as accomplished as some of the director’s other efforts but worthy of a look if you’re a fan of Sono’s work and “non-conventional” cinema.

  • I Just Didn’t Do It

    Mar 10, 2015

    Suo can craft works that move the mind and the heart while entrancing the viewer along the way.

  • Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler

    Apr 3, 2015

    ‘Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler’ is a unique and very entertaining film if you can get on board with its offbeat vibe and characters. Different but good.

  • Rent-a-Cat

    May 17, 2015

    Beneath the simple premise is a dissection of friendship and finding one’s place in society that is about as good as cinema has ever shown.

  • Villain

    Jun 22, 2015

    ‘Villain’ is not a whodunnit – the identity of the killer is uncovered early on in the film. It is, however, a whydidtheydoit (that’s not going to catch on is it) and quite an excellent one too.

意外 | Assassins
 •   •   • Dir.

Reviewed by   |  Feb 16, 2015

‘Accident’ is the first film director Soi Cheang has crafted under the Milkyway films umbrella. He had previously directed the decent ‘Love Battlefield’, ‘Dog Bite Dog’ and the fun yet shoddy ‘Shamo’. For ‘Accident’, Soi Cheang douses his Miike-lite feeling that he brings to his films, instead opting for a subdued approach to the material.

‘Accident’ had the working title of ‘Assassins’, changing it was probably a wise move as it conjures up your typical Hong Kong heroic bloodshed images. Instead, ‘Accident’ concerns a group of killers that operate through the medium of uuh accidents. It sounds better than it is. In the usual Milkyway fashion, a basic premise is run with in a stylish Johnnie To manner, who sits in the producer’s chair.

Louis Koo (insert tan gag here) plays Brain, the leader of the hit gang, looking the Thunderbirds type with a pair of large glasses. His underlings are Lam Suet as Fatty, Stanley Fung as Uncle and Michelle Ye whose character name I never caught. They are efficient at their job, organising and carrying out an effective hit over the opening ten minutes but it becomes obvious that Uncle isn’t the full shilling and that Brain is probably the most paranoid man in Hong Kong.

When a hit seems to go completely wrong, or does it?, Brain becomes obsessed with the idea it was a deliberate sabotage attempt from a group of rivals. He sets his sights on a mysterious insurance agent played by Richie Ren and engages in a game of cat and mouse which may, or may not exist solely in Brain’s mind.

The strength of ‘Accident’ is in its details, the quiet planning and design that goes into the hits is intricate and quietly thrilling, much more so than watching yet another Triad gunslinger point a .45 at someone for the millionth time. ‘Accident’ feels very much like an Eastern slant on a Hitchcock movie, everything is very small scale and the whole movie drips with regret, paranoia and guilt.

Louis Koo is great as Brain, I find him a very underrated lead player, even though he can rival David Dickinson in the tan stakes. Apart from Stanley fung as Uncle, the other characters are more ciphers than fleshed out characters but this matters little in such a movie as ‘Accident’. Everyone brings snap and efficiency to their roles, making the most of their parts. Richie Ren is very good as the film’s possible nemesis, you see him carrying out his daily business as Brain spies on him but now and then Ren will seem like the most dodgy man in Hong Kong, a Del Boy of the insurance world. All this is suggested, and is good work on Soi-Cheang and Ren’s part.

Despite the nature of the kills, ‘Accident’ is a subtle thriller, wrapped in mystery and coincidence. It could easily have been loud and garish, like ‘Shamo’ was but ‘Accident’ stands hundreds of foot above. Weaving a tangled web, ‘Accident’ is actually elegant in its simplicity but by the film’s conclusion, whatever your thoughts are on the movie itself you are likely to be more cautious of crossing the road or getting out of a car.
