Strangers of the Past: Part XXXIV
Ameya stood on the other side of the window, staring out with a wistful smile on her face. Little Tomas with his wild sandy curls shuffled around the tall sandy-haired man who held his hands over his hands, his lips wordlessly moving.
"Hide and seek?" Tampa's voice drifted over her and Ameya straightened as her twin sister approached her. She smiled over Jonathan and his son, shaking her head incredulously. "Wow. It's amazing how alike they look."
"I couldn't see it," Ameya admitted, dragging her attention back to the father and son.
"Who'd blame you? Imagining a handsome stranger as your son's father and your long-lost lover…"
Ameya's cheeks warmed under Tampa's gaze and her sister smiled knowingly. "It's not that," Ameya mumbled, lifting her hand to her mouth, biting at her thumb.
"You still chew your thumbnail?" Tampa's amused voice caught Ameya off-guard and she jerked her hand back to her side. "Oh, I'm just teasing." She nudged at her sister's shoulder, chuckling softly.
Ameya sighed, turning to face her sister with a slight frown marring her forehead. "It's still so…"
"Weird?" Tampa supplied with an easy smile on her glowing face.
Ameya wrinkled her nose that the woman echoed her thoughts. She looked away to where Jonathan was now running in place as if trying to catch up with Tomas. A short laugh escaped her lips and she shook her head. "He likes it…" she said incredulously. Even though Neve had been a very good playmate for Tomas, it'd taken the doctor-friend almost months to gain the shy boy's trust. With Jonathan, it took them less than an hour to get to laughing and playing with each other. Her heartstrings fluttered at the sight.
"It's natural." Her sister said sagely, resting her arms on her protruding belly. "They say when a father's eyes fall on his child and a child's on his father… it's love at first sight. They're inseparable after that." She snuck a glance at her sister's profile and managed a smile. "It must still be strange to see all this."
"You have no idea…" Just days ago, she'd been wondering about her son's origin and the very man she dreamt about was the last person she imagined could be the father.
Tampa chuckled gently, pulling her gaze to the two before them. "You think so?" When the woman didn't respond, she sighed softly and rubbed at her belly. "You have no idea how long he's been looking for you." She shook her head. "His life was on a virtual pause until just now." Tampa turned to face her, brow creased with concern. "All our lives were like that too…"
Ameya's eyes fell on Tampa's swollen belly and her lips curled in a sardonic smile. "Looks like you pressed play at some point."
Tampa snorted, eying her sister's face. "Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humor, Hannah."
Ameya's brow furrowed. "I'm not used to that name."
Tampa sighed heavily. "I'm not used to Ameya… Who on earth gave you that name? What does it even mean?"
Ameya blinked, taken aback by Tampa's forthrightness. "Uh…" She frowned for a moment and then laughed softly. "One of Neve's nurses." She could still remember Neve's concentrated expression as he tried to find a name that would suit her.
Her sister's frown darkened and Ameya's smile waned. "Neve… Is that the doctor who saved you?" her sister's voice was quiet, thoughtful and unsettling.
"Yes… Why?"
Tampa shrugged; pulling her gaze to Jonathan and Tomas, her heart lifting at the sight of the beaming father who had now lifted a gleeful Tomas effortlessly in his arms and was now spinning him in his arms. She sighed softly. "What a beautiful child… I wish I could meet him." When Ameya sighed, Tampa managed a smile. "It's okay, I understand." She turned to face her sister. "How long has he been… y'know, autistic?"
Cheeks warming, Ameya looked away again. "Since birth." She swallowed hard. "He hasn't uttered one intelligible word… But he takes well to strangers, except not like this…" Her heart skipped a beat as Jonathan fell on his back and Tomas scurried up the length of his torso, laughing with unabashed joy.
Neve glanced up from the blaring screen of his laptop and sighed toward the darkened hallway. The sound of the doorbell resonated loudly through the thin walls of the house. His father was working late tonight and so he was the only one left to answer the door. Heaving a sigh, he pushed up to his feet and trudged down the hallway to the front of the house.
Pulling open the door, Neve stared bleakly at the woman standing on his porch. Quietly, he started to push the door to close it when she wordlessly inserted a glass dish in between it. He scowled as the metal of the doorknob clinked against the dish and jerked the door open. "Blast it, woman. Go away!" he barked in their native tongue. "I told you I don't need anything."
Genevieve unflinchingly stared back at him, cradling the warm dish in her arms. "Since when have I ever listened to you?" She nudged the door open further with her left foot and ducked under Neve's arm into the darkened house.
Glowering, Neve closed the door and turned swiftly to face her, folding his arms across his chest. "What do you want?"
She was already walking toward the kitchen and Neve had no choice but to follow. He glared at her as she stepped around the counter and approached the fridge, pulling it open. "This is not your home."
"You've said that many times already," Genevieve replied easily, placing the dish on the empty top shelf, clicking her tongue as she looked down at the bare shelves. "Are you trying to kill yourself and your father with this misery?" She turned around to face him, placing her hands on her hips.
Neve narrowed his eyes at her. "What do you want?"
"I want you to stop this."
"That's none of your business. Now get out."
Genevieve's lips twisted with restrained laughter. "I'll leave when I'm ready to." She raised a brow at him, taking in his unshaven cheeks and the dark circles under his weary eyes. "All this because of a woman…"
Neve scowled, clenching his jaw tightly. "Blast it, Genevieve."
She shook her head. "You're eight years too late. Poor Neville."
His teeth threatened to break as he gritted against it tighter. "Get out."
Neve closed the distance between them and grabbed Genevieve by her shoulders. "Don't you dare laugh at me!" His nostrils flared with pent-up frustration. "Don't even think to laugh at me."
She blinked at him as the initial shock of him grabbing her eased away, replacing with a dull solemnity at the pain in his brown, glaring eyes. "I'm not laughing." Genevieve lifted her hands and braced his arms, not moving from his tight grip. "I'm not laughing at you, Neve…"
His hardened face faltered at the soft lilt of her voice, the teasing disappearing. His fingers loosened slightly over her shoulders and Genevieve swallowed, staring up at him. Neve felt his face warm as the tears gathered, blurring the barefaced look of sympathy in Genevieve's eyes.

Trump appears to be serious about leaving Afghanistan
Submitted by gjohnsit on Fri, 08/16/2019 - 3:35pm
President Trump appears to be on the verge of actually doing something good with his presidency, and ending the endless quagmire that is our occupation of Afghanistan.
This will likely happen eventhough we know that a civil war will break out when we leave.
Before you give Trump too much credit, remember that he is currently killing innocent civilians at a record rate, and that he has no problems with committing war crimes.
The most interesting aspect of Trump's planned withdrawal is how few people oppose it. Even the warhawks aren't speaking out against the peace plan too loudly.
It's not like the madness of our occupation of Afghanistan was suddenly exposed for what it is.
It's not like it suddenly became obvious that we could never win.
It's not like doing something in the best interests of the American people suddenly came into fashion in Washington.
Maybe at some level, there was a realization that all the money that could be stolen in Afghanistan had already been stolen.
For example, this is the WSJ.
And this is CATO.
It's weird to see the right-wing supporting the end of a war, while seeing tepid support for the war from mainstream liberals (with some opposition from a few notable Dems).
The right-wing doesn't oppose killing lots and lots of foreigners. They just don't want to spend money on the effort.

He needs the troops for his Iran war
And Afghanistan, being landlocked, isn't a base for that war.

He's not going to abandon the mega military bases there

I think he is in trouble for 2020,
and needs a gimmick, SOMETHING to distract attention from Venezuela, Iran, Yemen, the fact that his Secretary of Education has cancelled forgiveness of some part of student debt for teacher and medical professionals, his pro-GMO, pro-factory farm ag policy and need I go on?
Not to mention that he has a major problem with women voters, and the tweet storm disrespecting the accomplishments of four freshman Congresswomen did him no favors with that demographic. If La Maxwell is not indicted, if a rich socialite is seen as getting the benefit of conservative male Aw gee, give the kid a break syndrome, when poor women of every color and ethnicity are being incarcerated for far less destructive crimes than those of which La Max has been accused...if that happens, I think he loses. We shall see.

His base likes that.
@Nastarana @Nastarana
Student loan forgiveness drives them up the wall. They didn't go to college and they see loan forgiveness as Democrat welfare for the rich. They see everyone getting something but themselves getting the bill.
Not saying that's true, just saying that's what the belief, like the second amendment gives them the right to own nuclear missiles.

I was referring to loan forgiveness
@The Voice In the Wilderness for students going into teaching and health care occupations only. That is a program which Ms. De Voss cancelled, and those are occupations which are still available to working class kids if only they can come up with the Community College fees. The fee for a year long LPN program my daughter took was $12,000, which, fortunately I had because I am not a spender. So, after a year she gets to be an LPN, does an important job well and makes a better wage than I ever did.

$12.000 for one year!
Not long ago it was $400 here. IIRC, the private engineering school that I went to charges $12,000 now ($1,200 back in the day). $12,000 sounds crazy for a tax supported community college.
Of course, in the neighboring county the President of the public community college has a salary of $600K and a pension after being booted out after four years of work!
And people wonder at the rise of fascism. This county is (D), the neighboring county is (R), both are greedy corrupt pigs.
Submitted by Nastarana on Sat, 08/17/2019 - 9:04am
$12, 000 is what it was.
@The Voice In the Wilderness And books, fees travel to and from etc. on top of that. These health care jobs, such as CNA, LPN, and various medical techs, and so on are some of the best paying jobs around still (more or less) within reach of working class kids.
I basically had to give up my own chance of a comfortable retirement in order to get two girls through school and established in life. Not meaning to complain, it is what it is and both are fairly high earning good citizens now.

@Nastarana Trump is not in trouble
@Nastarana Trump is not in trouble at all. He won 84.3% of the counties in 2016 and it gave him a substantial win in the EC where it counts. Only Bernie Sanders has the ability to make a dent in this outrageous advantage Trump has on a county wide basis. Sanders seems to have a knack when it comes to appealing to rural voters. Trump has pissed off some people in the Midwest with his trade war and that is makes him somewhat vulnerable. But only Sanders can take advantage of this.
The rest of the Democratic contenders can not. Suburban and rural people pretty much hate the rest of the field. They might like Tulsi, since she is military, but they are clueless about who she is. If it is anyone but Sanders, Trump can still lose the popular vote by several million and handily win the EC. Again.
I am very lukewarm about Sanders this time around. Supported him last time until he supported her, then voted for Stein. Haven't given Sanders a dime this time though he keeps begging. I will probably vote for him in the general, if he makes it, but do not intend to support him until then.
Submitted by Wally on Sat, 08/17/2019 - 6:34am
Ok, I'll bite . . .
@davidgmillsatty
You'll vote for Bernie in the general but not in the primary even though you argue that only Bernie can beat Trump.
Note: I also voted for Stein in November (in a blue locked state) last time around after supporting Bernie during the primaries, first time I got actively involved in presidential politics since 1972, my first vote. If Bernie doesn't get the nomination, and I figure we'll have a pretty good handle on where he's going come Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020, I won't vote anymore period and won't even be politically active aside from becoming a practitioner of what I have come to call working class hedonism.
So, I gotta ask, if you can see yourself as voting for Bernie come November if we get the chance, why not spend a few minutes to go vote for him in your state primary?

You make a good point
@Wally I live in TN. Trump won 92 out of 95 counties here. Who I vote for in the general would not matter one iota. But you make a good point. If he has a chance to win some delegates in the TN in primaries I probably will go vote to help him win the nomination. My vote for him in the primaries did no good last time. Clinton won here easily. But Sanders had no name recognition here then.

The TN Primary is on Super Tuesday
That's the BIG day on my calendar, March 3, 2020.
I see there's a Survey Monkey poll for TN that 538 lists with Biden at around 30% and Bernie and Warren statistically tied at around 15%. So it's pretty conceivable Bernie will get some delegates out of it.
And like I've said on numerous occasions. if Bernie crashes out on Super Tuesday, I'll be done with electoral and pretty much all forms of politics (I suppose it can be argued that opting for one beer over another involves a political choice).

There are people who are simply sick of the drama
. . . who will vote for Biden. Others who are party hacks will vote and even work for him to keep their jobs. Lotsa AAs will vote for him coz Obama. All that's about 1/3 of the folks who are gonna vote in the primaries, and that seems pretty consistent across every single poll I've seen on RCP (not the Revolutionary Communist Party website).
Obviously, Harris is having problems even with the AA vote. And I don't think it's just coz Tulsi nailed her so hard at that last debate. She simply doesn't come across like Obama. Her slice of the Hillary women's vote is pared down by Warren. Booker's campaign is gonna pick up at least some in southern states.

I understand your feelings
I also understand that Bernie had agreed to support whoever got the nomination. I felt he could have made a perfunctory speech and let it go at that instead of actively campaigning, but I'm not privy to the agreement he had with the DNC.
I was mad too, but I'm hoping that he was playing a strategic game so that he could run this time. I have made five (minimal) contributions. I have a bumper sticker on my car.
I think his time has come and went (along with ours). I think voters are more comfortable now with Trump. Last time he was just a real estate developer and reality TV star with no experience. This time he is the sitting President and his base LOVES him. Everything we hate, they love.
I had lunch with a friend last week. He now describes himself as a former Democrat. He's not a Republican either. I would call him a Trumpista. I stopped talking politics when he got angry and talking loudly how Trump was the only one addressing the country's problems and Bernie was a SOCIALIST!, no better than a communist! People were starting to stare.

Went through all that with Reaganista liberal Democrats in 1980s
All of a sudden, according to them, the Vietnam War had actually been a noble cause and the troops were heroes who had been stabbed in the back and spit on by dirty hippies and McGovernites like me.

Oh, and according to them, all good people were suddenly expected to support the Contras in Nicaragua.
Actually, there were two groups of Contras.
@lotlizard
The CIA backed followers of the ex-right wing dictator and a rebel group that thought the Sandinistas had betrayed the revolution. Naturally we backed the former and ignored the latter who actually had some popular backing. but OMG! THEY ARE LEFT OF THE SANDANISTAS!
If we had backed them, we might have pulled them away from Castro and Russia. But ideology trumped common sense.
I will agree that
@davidgmillsatty the Democrats have apparently forgotten how to count electoral votes.
However, Trump's margins in the critical states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin were very thin. I don't say that he is likely to lose and I don't discount the Dims ability to throw yet another election.
I am inclined to think that Trump might be reelected but be facing a hostile Democratic Congress.
@Nastarana I think only Sanders
@Nastarana I think only Sanders can make enough headway in these states to turn them by taking away some of the rural and suburban vote there. Wisconsin and Michigan have been hurt by the trade wars. Don't know about PA.
#3.2 the Democrats have apparently forgotten how to count electoral votes.
According to Booman Trbune
He used to claim only by going to totally ConservaDem ala Spector, could Pennsylvania be turned. But he had changed radically once he got the big MSM gig. Haven't looked at his new blog. I'm unwilling to pay money just to be banned again for dissing Her Heinous.
Farmers may be hurt but they don't have any votes. City proles will blame all economic woes on Mexicans stealing jobs.
Southern Illinois hurt big by the Chinese import bans, but they are even more insanely right wing than ever. They are busy purging their party of anyone with an ounce of sanity. It's Guns, Gays, and God ratcheted to an astounding height. With "Mexican Invasion" thrown in.

Now he is talking, just talking, mind, about leaving the WTO.
Was not them Rep. Kucinich calling for the same thing back in '08?
I still say T-Rump is looking for a gimmick. I would like to see us leave WTO. I think in general that the benefits of international trade, which go mostly to the wealthy, are greatly overrated, and I think that Americans ought to be able live quite comfortably on our own resources, with, for example, one house per family instead of five for the likes of the Kerrys and the Romneys and no housing for others.
All that global trade (ships, air freight) doesn't really square
with reducing dependence on fossil fuels and returning to local and regional food sourcing.
And then there is the pollution and environmental degradation connected with maintaining the naval and air forces required to police the sea lanes, trade routes, fishing grounds etc.

A recent editorial in The Lancet issued a dire warning to the international medical community: medicine is a weapon of war in Syria. It is just the latest in a series of reports from across the Middle East on how medical care and medical professionals and facilities are being used to inflict politically-motivated violence.
The editorial references a recent Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) report, which provides 15 testimonials, five from doctors and ten from patients inside Syria. The testimonies offer a complicated picture of how health facilities are being used as battlegrounds. National security forces are a constant presence at medical facilities to track, detain, and further injure or execute opponents. Medical personnel are being targeted, arrested, and tortured for caring for the wounded. And some health professionals who support President Bashar al-Assad's regime are reportedly further injuring wounded protesters and rebels who seek care.
MSF states that its staff collected the testimonials from Jan. 30 to Feb. 6, 2012. "MSF is not authorized to operate inside Syria at present and thus is unable to fully verify the information collected here," the report said. "However, given the recurring nature, the consistency, and the severity of the acts described in the testimonies, MSF has decided to make them public." The MSF dossier echoes Amnesty International report on Syria from late last year.
The new MSF testimonies include one from a 29 year-old man with gunshot wounds, who described how he received care in a makeshift hospital in a house. "[Y]ou cannot go to a hospital," he said, "because if you do, they either amputate the limb that you are suffering from or they take you to prison." A 23 year-old man testified that he sought care for a gunshot wound at a hospital in the capitol and had his hand amputated unnecessarily.
"To take these patients to the public hospitals is impossible, not just because there are doctors and nurses working for the regime in these hospitals, but due to the fact that in each hospital there is a police unit and they are on the door . . .
A doctor now is considered more dangerous than those fighting with the [rebel group, Syrian] Free Army, and anyone caught with drugs in his possession, the charges against him are more grave than being accused with possession of weapons.
The Lancet editorial points to President Assad, who is "shockingly, a former doctor," and "has shown total disregard for the health of Syrians and for the Geneva Conventions." The editorial comes on the heels of a 137-12 vote on a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly to condemn the Assad regime's violent crackdown, although the action is nonbinding with no power for enforcement. Preceding the resolution, Navi Pillay, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, delivered a forceful speech to the United Nations General Assembly condemning violence in Syria, including attacks on medical facilities, medical professionals, and patients.
We cannot see Syria as an isolated case. Earlier this month, I wrote a post about MSF's decision to stop treating patients at detention centers in Libya rather than abetting the continuing torture of these patients. The Lancet has also reported on military forces occupying public hospitals in Bahrain, and the detention and trials of Bahraini nurses and doctors. In Egypt, the violence against health facilities appears to be less systematic but media sources have reported attacks on field hospitals and threats against doctors.
It is debatable whether the exploitation of medicine, health facilities, and health professionals is a hallmark of the violence that started with the Arab Spring uprisings or more generally a hallmark today's violent political struggles, in general. But either way, it is indefensible. The U.N.'s condemnation of this type of violence in Syria specifically is one step in the right direction, but it is high time the international medical community speaks out against the overt violations of medicine's covenant with society, violations that are clearly a strategic weapon on the part of these political regimes.

Too Short, Bun B, & Pastor Troy
Legends of Hip Hop
With E-40, Mystikal, Scarface, 8 Ball & MJG, Too Short, Bun B, & Pastor Troy
Friday October 4, 2019 Doors Open: 6:30PM Start Time: 8:00PM
Some of the most iconic names in the Hip Hop game return to Cincinnati on Friday, October 4 as the Legends of Hip Hop Tour returns to the Queen City and U.S. Bank Arena. This year's tour will feature E-40, Mystikal, Scarface, 8 Ball & MJG, Too Short, Bun B, & Pastor Troy. Tickets will go on sale Friday, June 28 at 10:00am at the U.S. Bank Arena box office and online at Ticketmaster.com.
As an artist with millions of records sold, nationwide sold out shows, and loved by both the streets and respected by his peers, E-40 continues to reign supreme. E-40 should be no stranger to hip-hop fans having released twenty-seven albums to date as well as appeared on numerous movie soundtracks and frequent guest appearances on other rap albums. Initially an underground artist, E-40 saw success with his 1995 solo album In a Major Way and reached even higher mainstream popularity with his 2006 single "Tell Me When To Go".
Mystical does not technically rap. "He howls, he bellows, he barbarically yawps himself raw, all at a volume and velocity as unrelenting as any hardcore punk or metal outfit," wrote Mark Binelli in Rolling Stone. Yet Mystikal's talents lie far beyond his original style of rapping. By the late-1990s, Mystikal cemented his reputation as one of the most promising MCs in rap music, supporting his blasting delivery with witty lyrics and a crafty flow. Mystikal rose to commercial fame with the James-Brown like "Shake Ya Ass" while garnering Grammy nominations for Best Male Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Album.
Scarface has seen it all, and has worked hard his entire life to keep the culture of hip hop deeply rooted. From his earliest verses in the late 1980's as a solo artist to one of the members of the Geto Boys, Scarface has always made sure to tell the stories he feels the world needs to hear. With double digit albums, numerous singles and collaborations, acting roles, and a book, Scarface is truly a legend of hip hop.

This being our first year to stay home for Christmas I have been working on our menu for Christmas day. It has been a lot of fun to plan out and get my hubby's input on it. I'm looking forward to doing the baking and cooking here this week. Here is a look into what we will be having Christmas.
For dessert we decided to have ice cream.
We don't do doughnut,chip, ice cream, and other sweets in our house very often (if at all really) so we thought it would be a nice treat to have on Christmas. I thought it would be fun to do ice cream Sundays when Sophie is older. I plan to give some of the treats I am making to neighbors and friends. I look forward to Sophie "helping" me. She love to help out in the kitchen. I just love that!
What are you having for Christmas? Do you do the cooking or do you go to other family's members homes?

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has decided to contact China for the expected coronavirus vaccine, asking for prices and clinical trial data of a possible vaccine.
According to sources, the NIH will contact the Chinese government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking for details of the expected coronavirus from China, including the cost of the vaccine and trial data.

Le squamish ( en squamish) est la langue originellement parlée par les populations amérindiennes squamish qui vivent au sud-ouest de la province de Colombie-Britannique au Canada.

Le squamish fait partie des 23 langues salish. Il est proche des langues sechelt, halkomelem et nooksack.

On estime qu'il reste actuellement moins de vingt personnes dont le squamish est la langue maternelle et aucun d'eux n'a moins de 65 ans.

Des anthropologues et des linguistes ont travaillé sur cette langue depuis les années 1880. Le premier d'entre eux à recueillir des mots de squamish fut Franz Boas.

Le squamish était à l'origine une langue uniquement orale, il n'existait pas de système d'écriture qui lui soit associée. Il y a plusieurs dizaines d'années, un chef indien a établi un système d'écriture afin de pouvoir transcrire cette langue.

Écriture
Un alphabet utilisable à la machine à écrire a été développé par le linguiste Randy Bouchard avec Louie Miranda, locuteur squamish.

Sometimes I just get these cravings for a cold, crunchy, refreshing bowl of cereal! Apart from being one of my easiest go-to breakfast foods, it's perfect for an after-dinner snack or a comforting pick-me-up in the late afternoon. My personal favorite type is Honey Bunches of Oats – it's extra crunchy, has just enough sweetness, and tastes good even without milk! But like most comfort foods, it isn't perfect. It's processed, and has preservatives. So if you've been following my blog, you know what comes next: an easy, homemade, healthier version!
I have experimented with a few versions and this one, according to me, tastes closest to the one you can buy at the grocery store. Sometimes, I add a pinch of cinnamon if the mood strikes, but that's completely optional. If you do choose to add it, make sure it's a very tiny pinch, otherwise the cinnamon flavor will overpower everything else! To sweeten it, I like to add a mix of honey and maple syrup instead of regular sugar to keep everything natural. Finally, I like to add cold milk and top it off with sliced almonds and strawberries! My daughters prefer to add sliced bananas and raisins 🙂 I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think in the comments!
Set the oven to preheat at 300 F.
In a bowl mix the quick oats, corn flakes and just a tiny pinch of cinnamon if you want.
In another bowl mix the honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract and water with a whisk. If using brown sugar you might have to warm the mixture a tad bit for the sugar to dissolve.
Add the liquid mix to the dry mix of oats and corn flakes. Mix really well.
Take a 12" x 19" or a bit larger baking tray, place a parchment paper on it and spread the mix on it. It should not be a very thick layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Stir after half way through so edges don't get burnt.
Let it cool outside for 4-5 hours and then it can be stored like regular cereal.
You can add whatever toppings you like sliced almonds or walnuts, dried cranberries or blueberries or raisins, even fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries.
Enjoy as it is or with some fresh cold milk or even over Greek yogurt!
I was wondering about the Corn Flakes used. Are they all natural and if so, where do I find them? My picky eating son LOVES Honey Bunches of Oats and I would love to be able to make him a better option. Thanks for the recipe!
!I have to be Gluten free and one cerealI really miss is Honey bunches of oats. So excited that I can make it now ! Thank you !!
I just found this! I'm so excited to try it!! I love Honey Bunches of Oats cereal and so do my kids but would love to avoid a lot of the ingredients used. Thank you!

2016 NCAA Tournament First Round Preview: Yale Bulldogs vs Baylor Bears
Yale is looking to cash in on its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1962.

Share All sharing options for: 2016 NCAA Tournament First Round Preview: Yale Bulldogs vs Baylor Bears
Mark L. Baer-USA TODAY Sports
With just the program's third conference title in the last 50 years and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1962, the Yale Bulldogs are looking to make a big splash in the Big Dance starting with the Baylor Bears. Thursday's game in Providencr will be the first meeting between the two schools and will be the third season in a row that Baylor enters the Round of 64 as the favorite.
No. 5 Baylor Bears vs.
West Regional Round of 64
Thursday, March 17 at 2:45 p.m.
Television: CBS
Where: Dunkin' Donuts Center
Since early December, the Bulldogs have been red hot, winning 17 of the team's last 18 games and compiling a 13-1 record in a tricky Ivy League. The team has largely relied on its consistent rebounding and interior game in route to that streak and ranks No. 6 in offensive rebounding rate and No. 7 in defensive rebounding rate.
Upfront, Yale is led by senior duo Justin Sears and Brandon Sherrod. Both play around 70 percent of the team's minutes and are some of the Ivy League's best rebounders, ranking No. 1 and No. 2 in the conference respectively in offensive rebounding rate. Both are also efficient on the offensive end with season offensive ratings over 110 and Sherrod has shown a real knack at getting to the free throw line.
In the backcourt, the primary option for Yale is guard Makai Mason. He's a bit on the smaller side, but is still one of the most used players on offense and is the most consistent passer on the rostwr with a 23.3 assist rate. He's also a decent outside shooter and hit 38.4 percent of his long range looks this year.
On the other side, Baylor is also a team led by an experienced frontcourt. The Bears rely on seniors Rico Gathers and Taurean Prince upfront and are one of the better rebounding teams in the country. In fact, Baylor ranks No. 3 nationally in offensive rebounding rate and Gathers leads the nation in that stat. Lester Medford also does a nice job of feeding the frontcourt and is one of the better passers in the Big 12 this season.
It's unusual to get a No. 5 vs No. 12 game where the opponents are so similar, but that will be the case for Baylor and Yale on Thursday afternoon. Both teams rely on their interior game offensively to get the job done and it's going to be a fierce battle to see who can be more effective on Thursday.
Baylor is certainly a great team, but there are plenty of reasons to think Yale comes out on top in this one. To start, the Bulldogs obviously have the tools to minimize Baylor's biggest strength, which is the team's frontcourt. It's unlikely Yale can shut Baylor down upfront, but the Bulldogs do have the tools to at least keep things close there.
Additionally, Baylor hasn't performed that well early in the NCAA Tournament over the last few years and with the game coming in Providence, it's likely going to feel like a home game for Yale, especially with neutral fans likely rooting for the underdog. There's no doubt that Baylor is the more talented and deeper team, but there is definitely a path for Yale to pull off the upset.
Thursday's match up should be a tight game between two teams that like to battle it out upfront. If you're looking for an early mid-major upset, this could easily be your choice.

Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese
While I was out in California for the weekend, we managed to take in four rounds of Asian food (impressive when you consider I arrived at 5pm Thursday and left at 9am Monday). Three of them were new places (the fourth was our beloved Sushi 85), and none were worth going back to, so all the reviews are lumped together.
Thai Spoons was very close to the hotel, so we ate dinner there after I got in. The place was pretty deserted, but pick-up orders became popular toward the end of our meal. There was a credit card minimum so we ordered an appetizer - which ended up being the best part of the meal. The Thai Shrimp Rolls were simple: fried shrimp in rice paper. But the "sweet & sour chili sauce" with which it was served made a great accompaniment. I had pad thai, no peanuts. The fried tofu in it tasted like egg, and the chicken was kinda strange. It also lacked a sweet flavor, and I'm not even sure I ate half of it. Jonathan had curry. He didn't finish it, but didn't take it home, either.
Pho Nam on El Camino (I specify location because it's kinda a common name) was some of the worst pho I've ever had. And that's all they make... they don't specialize in any other Vietnamese dishes. We ordered shrimp summer rolls to go with it, but they had purple cabbage or something inside that made them taste funny, too. I added a whole lime's worth of juice and hardly tasted it. I added five ice cubes and it was still too hot to eat. Most of the pieces of chicken had dark spots on them. It had plenty of cilantro and green onion, but too much mint. Jonathan didn't eat as much of his as he normally would, either. But, honestly, I was rather distracted by how strange mine was to ask him what he didn't like about his.
Dim Sum King is in the plaza behind Pho Nam, and that's how we found it. It's really like a fast-food dim sum place, in that there's a menu, you order and pay, then you take it to-go. There were a few tables, so we stayed to eat there. We got chow mein (average, a little oily), shrimp dumplings, stuffed pork dumplings, pork potstickers, and an egg roll. The shrimp dumplings were a little thick, but good. The stuffed pork were sweeter than I was expecting, and I could only eat one. The pastry part just killed me. The potstickers were average, but the sauce wasn't anything special, and I think that usually makes the difference. The egg roll was gross... I think I ate half before giving up.

Followed by a sow in blue tutu.
That was the scene at Carroll County Farm Museum yesterday as children's author Sally Foster tried to capture it on film for her next book, tentatively titled, "The Pig Who Came to a Wedding."
"This is based on a true story," Ms. Foster said, noting that the pig in her tale lived in Monkton with the author's longtime friend, Eleanor Weller, for many years.
"I'm glad it was a nice day and not hot like it was this weekend," she said. "Otherwise, we would have had roast pig, and that was definitely not what I had in mind."
At yesterday's mock wedding and reception, it appeared that Ms. Foster -- the author of four children's books -- was the only one in the party of adults and children who knew what she had in mind as she shepherded people and pig through the photo shoot.
"No, not the whole plate!" she told the young woman who was portraying a guest and feeding the 550-pound swine sandwiches.
The pig in yesterday's wedding is Penelope, a champion brood sow owned by Ken Bauer of Woodbine.
Yesterday's photo shoot capped two months of work in which Ms. Foster re-created her story of the Wellers' hog -- who was named Charlotte -- and how she got to attend a family wedding.
Ms. Weller's "kids wanted the pig to be invited to the wedding next door, which was their aunt's," she said. "They were trying to decide what she should wear and finally decided on a tutu."
At that fete, 900-pound Charlotte -- who adored chocolate -- escaped from her pen as the caterer finished cleaning up after the party, sneaked into a tent and ate the last of the wedding cake.
"All that was left was the little bride and groom," said Ms. Foster, who at one time free-lanced for The Sun and News American.
The book, which Ms. Foster intends to send to her agent within a few weeks, has yet to be accepted by a publisher. But, she said, "I don't see how this could miss."
Ironically, museum officials had just gotten permission to hire Kate VanFossen as a wedding coordinator when Ms. Foster called with her request to use their facilities, said Dottie Freeman, the museum's administrator.
"The very next call was about the pig wedding," said Ms. Freeman. She said that became Ms. VanFossen's first nuptial to organize at the museum.
"At first, it almost seemed like a prank," Ms. Freeman said. "But then I realized this woman was very serious."
Ms. Freeman said she was concerned that Penelope might root through the museum's flower gardens, which are carefully tended by volunteers.
But Ms. Foster agreed to pay for any damage the sow caused.
"I'm very glad she behaved herself," Ms. Foster laughed.
Ms. Foster earlier had worked with Penelope, Mr. Bauer's son Kenny and his niece, Jill Harrison, at least four times before the mock wedding, taking pictures of them bathing the hog, dressing her up and trying to feed her Oreo cookies. Karen Graham portrayed the bride at the mock wedding and she will actually be getting married this fall.
Penelope's owners were as surprised as Ms. Foster that the sow has behaved so well.
"She's acted like she's known what's going on from day one," said Connie Seiler, Mr. Bauer's fiancee.
"We just picked her out of a herd of 100 hogs. But she's been so cooperative, it's like she knows she's going to be featured in a book. She's just been adorable," said Ms. Seiler.

BlackBerry Passport one step closer to launch after FCC meet
With the BlackBerry Passport, the company has not seen such a pre-release buzz for a new handset, since the BlackBerry Storm 9530 was rumored to be an "iPhone killer" back in 2008. The Storm failed to live up to the hype, especially the Sure-Press typing system, which was supposed to make typing on glass feel as though you were typing on a physical QWERTY.
Ever since the Apple iPhone was unveiled in 2007, BlackBerry has focused on trying to combine a touchscreen with its iconic physical keyboard. The BlackBerry Torch 9810 combined a touchscreen with a vertical sliding keyboard. And the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 offered a small touchscreen display with the beloved BlackBerry physical QWERTY.
BlackBerry is once again tweaking its physical keyboard on the Passport. The three rows of letters lack punctuation keys or numbers. These will appear on virtual keys that are on the touchscreen, just above the top row of the physical keyboard. The keys that appear are contextually based. In other words, if you are browsing the internet, the virtual keys will include a colon (:) and a back slash (/). While sending an email, the virtual keys should include an "at sign" (@). And as we've seen on video, the Passport's keyboard doubles as a trackpad.
What is getting everyone excited about the device is not only the new keyboard, but also the unique square look, and the high-end specs. The BlackBerry Passport will feature a 4.5 inch screen with a 1440 x 1440 resolution. That will provide a tremendous pixel density for users. A quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU is under the hood, with 3GB of RAM inside. A 3450mAh battery should provide power for at least one-full day.
The good news is that the BlackBerry Passport recently visited the FCC, taking the phone one step closer to its rumored September launch. While the image in the FCC documentation doesn't exactly look like the dimensions of the Passport, the "split-top" and the centered camera resemble the back of the device perfectly.
With BlackBerry 10.3 installed out of the box, the big question for BlackBerry is whether the Passport can take on the Apple iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and other high-end models coming out in the third and fourth quarter of the year.

Poll: Greene helps Crist in Florida Senate race
By Shane D'Aprile - 08/11/10 05:31 PM EDT
New numbers on the Florida Senate race show Gov. Charlie Crist (I) in a slightly better position in the general election if self-funder Jeff Greene emerges the winner of the Democratic primary.
In a three-way race with Greene as the Democratic nominee, Crist leads with 37 percent of the vote. Republican Marco Rubio polls at 36 percent and Greene is third with 20 percent of the vote.
If Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-Fla.) is the Democratic nominee, Rubio holds a slim lead with 38 percent of the vote to Crist's 33 percent. Meek polls third with 21 percent.
With Greene as the nominee, Crist wins the support of 42 percent of Democrats. But with Meek as the Democrat in the general, just 36 percent of Democrats go with Crist.
The new numbers largely mirror the last Rasmussen poll on the race from July in which Rubio held a narrow lead in a three-way race with Crist and Meek.
Meek is still fighting for his life in the Democratic primary set for August 24 and will get a much needed assist from former President Bill Clinton on the trail next week. Clinton is headlining three separate campaign rallies for Meek on August 16, which is likely to help drive turnout among African-American voters in the state.
While the latest public polling on the primary shows Greene leading, Mark Blumenthal warns over on the Huffington Post that the polls might be underestimating Meek's support in the primary.
He says the African-American turnout is likely to be higher than most public polls are estimating and that could be shortchanging Meek's support by as much as 8 to 10 points.

We are delighted to have achieved our zero to landfill target in partnership with our waste management providers.
Our commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle has led to us adopting a Waste No More strategy that takes advantage of the latest technologies to ensure all Chippindale waste is diverted from landfill.
By implementing a waste hierarchy we are able to sort materials so that they can be recovered. Some are reused or recycled. Others are sent to an 'energy from waste' facility.
Our zero to landfill target is one of a range of sustainability goals that has included introducing green energy on our site and supporting producers who want to implement renewable energy projects. A number of Chippindale producers successfully operate solar powered poultry sheds.
We have also updated our entire fleet of HGVs to the latest low emission vehicles and we measure and monitor journeys, load capacities and fuel use so that we can make sure our logistical operations are as efficient as possible.
Our sustainable business practices reduce our impact on the environment, help us manage our costs and allow us to work with like-minded companies who value partnerships with companies that take sustainability seriously.

Randomized trial of two mind-body interventions for weight-loss maintenance.
Elder C1, Ritenbaugh C, Mist S, Aickin M, Schneider J, Zwickey H, Elmer P.
Regain of weight after initial weight loss constitutes a major factor contributing to the escalating obesity epidemic. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility and clinical impact of two mind-body interventions for weight-loss maintenance.
Large-group model health maintenance organization.
Overweight and obese adults were recruited to a 12-week behavioral weight-loss program. Participants meeting threshold weight loss and attendance requirements were eligible for randomization.
The three weight-loss maintenance interventions were qigong (QI), Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT (registered trademark of Tapas Fleming, L.Ac.), and a self-directed support (SDS) group as an attention control.
The main outcome measure was weight loss maintenance at 24 weeks postrandomization. Patient interviews explored additional benefits of the interventions, as well as barriers and facilitators to compliance.
Eighty-eight percent (88%) of randomized patients completed the study. There were no significant study-related adverse events. At 24 weeks, the TAT group maintained 1.2 kg more weight loss than the SDS group did (p = 0.09), and 2.8 kg more weight loss than the QI group did (p = 0.00), only regaining 0.1 kg. A separation test (0.05 level, 0.95 power) indicated that TAT merits further study. A secondary analysis revealed that participants reporting a previous history of recurrent unsuccessful weight loss were more likely to regain weight if assigned to the SDS arm, but this effect was suppressed in both the QI and TAT groups (p = 0.03). Although QI participants reported important general health benefits, the instruction sequence was too brief, given the complexity of the intervention.
TAT warrants further research for weight-loss maintenance. Any further research on qigong should use a modification of our protocol.
