Dan Esty, the state's energy commissioner, sat across a conference table from Art House, Connecticut's head utility regulator, in the bunker of the State Armory in Hartford last July for a drill that simulated a statewide response to a major hurricane.
Esty, with other state officials and utility executives nearby, asked whether House remembered exercises like these from his days doing intelligence work for the federal government.
"There are two kinds of drills I've done in Washington," House said. There's the predictable type of emergency, like hurricanes and ice storms, that the state needs to be ready for. And then there's the unpredictable.
"I worry more about unforeseen type, like a cyber attack," he said.
That conversation, the two officials said, seeded a quickening and serious discussion of the state's liability to hackers that would aim to control or damage critical facilities, like the electric grid. House, chairman of the state's Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, is drafting a plan with utilities on how to prepare for, address and respond to cyber attacks.
"Cyber probes are a fact of life," House said in an interview this week. "Connecticut needs to look at it in terms of defense. Are we doing everything we can?"
Initial cybersecurity talks have already occurred between regulators and the state's major utilities, including Northeast Utilities and United Illuminating, and with more meetings planned soon, House said. The forthcoming plan is a product of the state's new energy plan.
The issue of fending off cyber attacks has recently focused on attacks from China as well reports that plans for many of the Pentagon's advanced weapons systems have been compromised by hackers. Last month, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's cyber security office said that reports of cyber incidents jumped 68 percent last year over the year before.
The danger for industrial firms, like utilities, has increased over the past two decades as more operations rely more on electronic and web-based controls for important systems like electrical substations and water pumps. As early as 2009, when the first reports of hackers from China and Russia leaving malicious software on the electric grid systems across the country began to emerge, the danger that hacking faces the utility industry has been clear.
Federal security officials warn that electronic attacks on these critical facilities could create "the potential for large-scale power outages or man-made environmental disasters" and cause "physical damage, loss of life and other cascading effects that could disrupt services," the Department of Homeland Security's deputy inspector general, Charles Edwards, said in a congressional testimony last month.
"These attacks range from hackers looking for attention and notoriety to sophisticated nation-states intent on damaging equipment and facilities, disgruntled employees, competitors, and even personnel who inadvertently bring malware into the workplace by inserting an infected flash drive into a computer," he said.
In Connecticut, House plans for a rough draft of the state's cybersecurity plan to be finished by Labor Day, with a final version completed by January 2014. It will examine how state utilities could build up their electronic defenses against cyber attacks as well as how private and municipal emergency managers should be prepared in the event of such an attack.
A major piece of the state's cybersecurity efforts will lean on the federal intelligence and security resources that track and investigate cyber attacks, said House, adding that his previous work for the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency will aid in the state's efforts. "Cyber defense is not a matter of geography. It's a matter of national defense. It goes across state line and across industries."
Joel Gordes, president of West Hartford energy consultancy Environmental Energy Solutions, has long called for attention to the cyber security issue. He cites testimonies attached to names like Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Former CIA Director Leon Panetta that raised concerns about the issue, concluding that it's about time Connecticut takes a clear-eyed look at cyber security.
"When we see everybody from the CIA to Lockheed Martin and the Bank of America being hacked, it's pure hubris to think that our electric grid could not be compromised," he said.
He supports a broad strategy of decentralizing the electric grid, shifting from a few large power plants serving big swaths of the state to smaller, more local power plants providing electricity to surrounding areas. This arrangement lessens the risk of a singular cyber attack affecting the whole state, as well as reducing the risk of cascading power failures.
Another suggestion relates to how regulators incentivize profits at the utilities. It's not impossible, Gordes said, to link utilities' progress on microgrids and cybersecurity to their bottom line, giving firms like Connecticut Light & Power or United Illuminating incentives to pay closer attention to what would make the electricity infrastructure more resilient.
Arrangements like this are already in place for utilities' administration of energy efficiency programs. "It's introducing some capitalism into what's now a monopoly," Gordes said.
With all forms of security a sensitive subject, utilities limited themselves to general comments about how they approach their preparations for cyber attacks, saying that they take the issue very seriously and look forward to working with regulators on a plan.
Al Lara, spokesman for Northeast Utilities, parent company of CL&P; and Yankee Gas, said in a written statement that it has "enhanced the security of both the physical facilities and the electronic systems of all its companies" including "continuous monitoring of electronic access and frequent testing of its defenses."
ISO New England, which operates the region's electric grid, said it put in redundant electronic facilities and follows the industry's best practices in the matter.
"We are continually working to improve our security measures as cyber security threats evolve," said spokeswoman Marcia Blomberg. "We monitor system conditions continuously, and we share information as needed with regulatory and industry bodies."
Data sharing was one of inspector general Edwards' concerns. He said that the Department of Homeland Security's cyber security office needs to consolidate its information sharing efforts with other agencies and the private sector to "ensure that these stakeholders are provided with potential [industrial control systems] threats."
A group of energy companies and public and private groups expressed concerns about the timeliness of federal assessments on cyber threats, specifically noting that they feel that "a great deal of time might elapse until stakeholders were made aware of the same of similar incident that could affect their systems."

Total TimePrep/Total Time: 15 min.
Very quick and easy to make. The whole family liked it.
This dish was very easy to make, however it was very bland and lacked any flavor. My husband wouldn't eat it and even I didn't care for it (and I like blandish foods). Ended up throwing it away.
We all really liked this. I did as another cook suggested and put cream of mushroom soup in , I used reg milk with the flour mixed in and a little garlic. I also added sliced almonds over the top. Will def make again.
This was one of the first recipes I ever tried from a magazine, and found it quite tasty and extremely easy to throw together. These days, we're more into healthier eating, so I steer clear of canned soups and chow mein noodles, but I imagine healthy substitutes could be found. Thanks for sharing this easy recipe.
I've been making this recipe for 40 years. It's delicious -- but missing a few key ingredients! Add 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup. Omit the Chicken Noodle soup and instead use 1 can Chicken with Rice soup. Add 1 can sliced Water Chestnuts and 1/2 cup Slivered Almonds. I also use 4 cups of diced chicken, lightly seasoned. There is no need for the flour. Gently mix ingredients together and bake at 350 degrees, for one hour. This is an exceptionally better casserole -- and my guests always ask for the recipe. It's one of my go-to favorites!
This is one of the first recipes I ever tried from the Quick Cooking magazine. It sold me on the magazine!! It is so easy and so good. My children and husband all love it. If you are in a hurry, this is a meal you can be proud of serving.
We usually double this. Then with any leftover I add an equal amount of cooked egg noodles and some frozen peas and bake for an easy casserole.

Social psychologists have long known that emotions influence many aspects of decision making, and a growing body of research demonstrates that this is especially true in the domain of morality. Because morality generally consists of rules guiding our treatment of other people, and because emotions are often (though not always) elicited in the context of our interactions with other people, it is possible to conceive of nearly all our emotions as serving morality in some sense. However, most researchers reserve the term moral emotions to refer to those emotions whose primary function is the preservation and motivation of moral thoughts and behaviors. In short, they are the emotions that make us care about morality.
Reason versus Emotion
Morality was traditionally thought to be largely a matter of reasoning. Because the Western philosophical tradition placed such a strong emphasis on the role of reasoning for proper moral judgment, and because emotions were seen as damaging to the reasoning process in general, the study of morality focused heavily on the development of the reasoning ability. If anything, emotions were seen as harmful to the moral process. At first glance, this view is not unreasonable. After all, many emotions further one’s own self-interest (such as happiness when one succeeds or anger and sadness when one fails), or bias one toward those individuals who are close to him or her (e.g., you become more angry if someone insults your mother than if someone insults a stranger’s mother). Because impartiality seems to be critical for proper moral judgment, many thinkers believed that emotions should be eliminated from the process of moral judgment entirely.

Nonetheless, some influential thinkers noted that human morality seemed to depend heavily on the presence of certain emotions. Philosophers such as David Hume and Adam Smith were among the first to implicate emotions (particularly sympathy) as forming the foundations of morality. And recent research seems to support them: Without certain emotions, moral concern would not exist.
One area of research that elucidates the role of emotion in morality comes from evolutionary theory. However, because morality is inherently other-serving, and evolution was traditionally understood as a selfish mechanism (e.g., survival of the fittest), morality itself was not properly understood by evolutionary theorists for quite some time. Key insights from a few theorists, however, led to an understanding that a trait that encouraged altruistic behavior (helping others at a cost to oneself) could be adaptive, thus increasing the probability that the trait would be passed on to offspring. These traits likely took the form of emotional tendencies to help those in need and punish those who violated rules (e.g., cheaters). The evolutionary etiology of many emotions is still a matter of debate, but most people now believe that the presence of moral emotions is not inconsistent with an evolutionary account.
The Moral Emotions
Broadly speaking, three classes of emotions can be termed moral emotions: emotions that encourage people to care about the suffering of others (e.g., sympathy), emotions that motivate people to punish others (e.g., anger), and emotions that are, in essence, punishments upon oneself for violating one’s moral code (e.g., guilt). Some researchers also include a class of emotions that are elicited when one sees the positive moral acts of others, such as praise and a form of moral awe termed elevation.
In most discussions of moral emotions, the terms empathy and sympathy arise. These emotional processes have long been implicated as the very foundation of morality. A clarification about these terms should be made: Empathy is most often defined as feeling what another person is feeling (whether happy, sad, or angry, for instance). It is best described as a sort of emotional contagion and, as such, is not properly an emotion. Sympathy is more generally understood as caring for others. But because these terms often are used interchangeably, some researchers choose to use the term compassion to refer to the emotion of caring for the suffering of others. This compassion is often motivated by empathic/sympathetic responses to the suffering of others. These emotions seem to emerge very early on (infants cry at the sound of other infants crying more than to equally loud noncrying sounds), are present to some extent in non-human primates, and are disturbingly lacking in psychopathic individuals. This lack of empathy in psychopaths is most likely what allows them to hurt others with little compunction—because they don’t feel the pain of others, they are not motivated to compassion for the suffering of others. Having a sympa-thetic reaction to the suffering of another is also one of the best predictors of altruistic helping behavior.
Anger and Disgust
Much of morality consists of regulating the behavior of others. As moral codes are generated, consequences for the violation of those moral codes become necessary. One way in which individuals mete out immediate consequences to others is by emotional displays of disapproval. Anger is generally a response to a sense of interpersonal violation. Although anger can be elicited across a wide variety of situations, research has demonstrated that many of these situations involve a feeling of betrayal, unfair treatment, or injustice—concerns that fall squarely in the moral domain. The role of disgust in morality is a little less straightforward. Although many individuals report being disgusted by an individual they perceive as morally blameworthy (e.g., being disgusted at a con artist who robs the elderly), it is not clear that they are referring to the same kind of disgust an individual may feel when he or she sees rotting meat or feces (what some researchers term core disgust). One possibility is that individuals can recruit this core disgust when presented with a morally shady character.
Guilt and Shame
When people violate what they perceive to be a moral rule, they often respond with a feeling of guilt or shame. These emotions are often referred to as the self-conscious emotions. Shame, and its cousin, embarrassment, regulate people’s behavior when others are present. In non-Western cultures in which the hierarchical structure of society is of primary (often moral) importance, these emotions especially keep individuals acting in a manner befitting their lower-status ranking. Guilt, on the other hand, is an inherently interpersonal emotion. It acts as a signal that an individual may have hurt someone with whom he or she has a relationship. As such, guilt often motivates reparatory behavior—it only seems to go away once an individual has righted his or her wrongs.
The Moral-Emotional Life
It is easy to see how these emotions work in concert to uphold morality in everyday life. For instance, consider this simple situation: Someone is suffering and this bothers you (you feel empathy/sympathy); you now care for this person (you feel compassion). Either you caused his or her suffering (guilt) or someone else caused his or her suffering (anger, disgust). These emotions then motivate the proper actions to remedy the situation, such as seeking justice or forgiveness.

In celebration of Black History Month, we are spotlighting Harriet Tubman.
Born into slavery in Maryland, Harriet Tubman (c. 1820 to March 10, 1913) escaped to freedom in the North in 1849 to become the most famous "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. Tubman risked her life to lead hundreds of family members and other slaves from the plantation system to freedom on this elaborate secret network of safe houses.
A leading abolitionist before the American Civil War, Tubman also helped the Union Army during the war, working as a spy among other roles. After the Civil War ended, Tubman dedicated her life to helping impoverished former slaves and the elderly. In honor of her life and by popular demand, in 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the center of a new $20 bill.

If you are a Los Angeles County resident who gets electricity through the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power or Southern California Edison, you have probably been shocked by a recent increase in your monthly bill.
Even more frustrating, your bill probably went up even if you haven’t changed how much power you use.
The reason: The LADWP approved a budget in June that included a rate increase to help fund the maintenance of the utility‘s infrastructure, including replacing poles, cross arms, transformers and transmission lines, said Ann Santilli, chief financial officer for the LADWP.
“It’s really to ensure that we have reliable service throughout the city,” Santilli said.
That’s reflected on bills by an increase that can go as high as 1.1% in your total consumption charge. But the increase isn’t consistently applied, as the LADWP only hikes the rate when it spends to fund maintenance or repairs on existing infrastructure projects.
For Edison customers, an increase approved by the California Public Utilities Commission in 2022 hiked rates by 17%, with further increases going into effect Jan. 1.
The average monthly residential electric bill was set to jump from $174.70 to $178.34, a 2% increase, after Jan. 1, Edison said.
The utility says the rate increases are needed to cover the rising cost of purchased power and ongoing grid maintenance and repair.
There are changes you can make to your lifestyle to reduce your electricity use — and your bill. There are also programs to help with payment plans.
How can you reduce your electricity use?
If you are an LADWP customer, you can take a closer look at your energy consumption with the online Energy Advisor Tool. After answering a series of questions, you’ll be given tips to reduce your energy consumption.
The tool offers a home energy calculator, bill analysis, energy forecasting, rebate recommendations and savings tips.
There are also several steps you can take to reduce energy use around your house, such as changing the way you use wall outlets.
Edison suggests that, rather than directly into a wall outlet, you plug your your appliances, TVs and device chargers into power strips that you can turn off when the equipment isn’t in use, reducing your power consumption.
The California Public Utilities Commission suggests you charge your laptop, cellphone or tablets before 3 p.m. or after 9 p.m. when electricity rates are lower.
Instead of running your clothes dryer, line dry your clothes if you have the space in your home.
Older appliances that are plugged in all day might be using a lot more energy than you realize, Santilli said.
For example, some customers have multiple refrigerators, including an older, energy-gobbling refrigerator in the garage. It might be time to consider whether the second appliance is necessary.
Another update you can do is to replace incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs. It helps cut power costs and is an inevitable switch due to the Energy Department’s efficiency rules that went into effect in 2022 taking most incandescent bulbs off the market.
That tip applies to outdoor lighting as well, Santilli said, suggesting customers look for outdoor lighting that is low voltage and uses less power.
Need assistance paying your electricity bill?
Learning what repayment programs or discounts you qualify for is a phone call away for LADWP customers.
You can talk to an expert who will help you determine what you can afford to pay each month as well as whether you qualify for any discounts, said Ellen Cheng, media relations manager for the LADWP.
“If [the customer] needs help spreading out those payments, we’re here to help and we’re actually very accommodating and eager to work with our customers,” Cheng said.
Cheng points to two programs for customers having trouble paying their bills, though they don’t provide discounts:
- Level Pay assesses your annual energy usage and then calculates a monthly average so you pay roughly the same amount every month. That lowers your bill in months when you use the most electricity (typically the summer) and raises it in months when you use the least (typically the winter).
- Extended payment arrangements give EZ-SAVE and Lifeline customers up to 48 months to pay their overdue balances with no interest charges or fees.
To enroll in either program, call (800) 342-5397 or, for TDD service, (800) 432-7397.
Edison’s Lifeline Rate Program offers seniors and disabled customers a discount on their electric and other utility bills.
Eligible customers can also sign up for a payment program where charges are divided into equal installments and billed separately each month apart from your current bill. See eligibility rules online.
Edison also has two programs to help qualifying families lower their monthly bills:
Call (800) 798-5723 for more information or to apply. Applications can also be submitted by mail or online.

I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but my good intentions got away from me. My sister suggested I start tonight. "Start what?" you ask. Start my new blog feature. For now I'm calling it Wild Thursday. This will be a feature of either a recipe or a Wiltree product or both. Tonight is both. For dinner tonight Ashlee really wanted to go out and my mom didn't want to cook so I offered to make Thai pasta using Wildtree's Thai Sesame Sun Butter Sauce (Wildtree Product Number 10738). This meal took less than 10 minutes to make!
I chopped up a bunch of veggies while I boiled spaghetti noodles. Once the noodles were cooked I rinsed them in cold water and mixed them with the vegetables. I then poured about 1/2 cup (maybe more) of the Thai Sesame Sun Butter Sauce over it and mixed it together. Voila! A delicious, healthy and easy meal in under 10 minutes!
2 small zucchini
1 head of broccoli
1 red pepper
If you are interested in trying this recipe you can stop by my website and place an order. Feel free to place the order under the event listed in "My Events". AND if you place an order of $50 you get ANY item 1/2 price! They have never done this before! This means you could get any gallon of grapeseed oil, valued at $50 for only $25!

In 2004, bacteria and nutrient sampling on the Attoyac Bayou Watershed discovered elevated concentrations of E. coli on five of the main channels key tributary streams. The Attoyac Bayou was then listed on the Texas 303d list of impaired waterbodies and further research was conducted to identify the main sources of contamination in the waterbody. In 2016, the Attoyac Bayou Watershed Plan (WPP) was developed to implement best management practices (BMPs) that would decrease bacteria and nutrient concentrations in the watershed. Educational outreach programs, on-site-sewage facility repair, and livestock management were some of the strategies suggested by the protection plan that sought to decrease bacteria across the watershed. Monthly water quality sampling on five sampling locations across the watershed has been conducted from 2010 to 2022 to monitor changes in water quality and quantity. Data from 2010 to 2022 were separated into pre-implementation plan and post-implementation plan periods in order to determine the effectiveness of these strategies in lowering bacteria and nutrient concentrations. E. coli concentrations currently remain elevated above the primary contact standard of 126 CFU/100mL when data from all five sampling sites are compared. On a per site basis, there was no significant change in E. coli concentrations in four of the five sampling sites. Concentrations at the fifth sampling location, Waffelow Creek, increased significantly. Waffelow Creek also had the greatest increase in the frequency of E. coli concentrations violating the standard of 126 cfu/100ml, with 53% of samples violating the standard during the pre-WPP period and 86.5% of samples violating the standard in the post-WPP period. Continued water quality monitoring is required in order to more accurately assess the efficacy of the Watershed Protection Plan and address potential sources of contamination from Waffelow Creek across time and weather conditions. Due to higher post-WPP period streamflow rates, annual mass loading of E. coli increased significantly in the post-WPP period on the three largest sub-watersheds (Attoyac, Big Iron Ore Creek, and Naconiche Creek) indicating that additional monitoring is warranted for these watersheds as well.

"We believe that the Xbox 360 helped Netflix add 800,000 customers in 2009, a figure that we had expected the PS3 and Wii to each replicate in 2010."Curious assessment of the Wii... In all this we must well keep in mind the Netflix iPad app which is already one of the most popular 3rd party apps available.
"Further, the Wii audience has demonstrated little commitment to buying videogames (attach rates are at historical console lows), leading us to suspect that many Wiis are relegated to the playroom or (heaven forbid) the closet."
The service has been accessible for some time on both the Xbox 360 and PS3, and has barely just been made for the Wii, so it is fair to say that this year will probably be a good on in Netflix offices. Add up the iPad support with the app to heave a promising year for them.

Cheddar cheese is a relatively hard, off-white or orange if spices such as annatto are addedsometimes sharp-tasting, natural cheese. Originating in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset cheeses Extra mature cheese this style are produced beyond the region and in several countries around the world. The term "Cheddar cheese" is widely used, but has no protected designation of origin within the European Union.
However, in a Protected Designation of Origin, "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar", was created and only Cheddar produced from local milk within SomersetDorsetDevon and Cornwall and manufactured using traditional methods may use the name.
Furthermore, certain cheeses that are more similar in taste and appearance to Red Leicester are sometimes popularly marketed as "Red Cheddar". The cheese originates from the village of Cheddar in Somersetsouth
Extra mature cheese England.
Cheddar Gorge on the edge of the village contains a number of caveswhich provided the ideal humidity and steady temperature for maturing the cheese.
Cheddar has been produced since at least the 12th century. Central to Extra mature cheese modernisation and standardisation of Cheddar cheese was the 19th-century Somerset dairyman Joseph Harding. Harding stated that Cheddar cheese is "not made in the field, nor in the byrenor even in the cow, it is made in the dairy". His sons, Henry and William Harding, were responsible for introducing Cheddar cheese production to Australia  and facilitating the establishment of the cheese industry in New Zealand, respectively.
During the Second Extra mature cheese Warand for nearly a decade after, most milk in Britain was used for the making of one single kind of cheese nicknamed "government Cheddar" as part of war economies and rationing. According to a United States Department of Agriculture researcher, Cheddar cheese is the world's most popular variety of cheese, and the most studied type of cheese in scientific publications. The curds and whey are separated using rennetan enzyme complex normally produced from the stomachs of newborn calves in vegetarian or kosher cheeses, bacterial, yeast or mould-derived chymosin is used.
The cheese is kept at a constant temperature, often requiring special facilities. As with other hard cheese varieties produced worldwide, caves provide an ideal environment for maturing cheese; still, today, some Cheddar cheese is matured in the caves at Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge. Additionally, some versions of Cheddar cheese are smoked. The ideal quality of the original Somerset Cheddar was described by Joseph Harding in as "close and firm in texture, yet mellow in character or quality; it is rich with a tendency to melt in the mouth, the flavour full and fine, approaching to that of a hazelnut".
Cheddar made in the classical way tends to have a sharp, pungent flavour, often slightly earthy. The "sharpness" of cheddar is associated with the levels of bitter peptides in the cheese.
This bitterness has been found to be significant to the overall perception of the aged Cheddar flavour.
Cheddar can be a deep Extra mature cheese pale yellow off-white colour, or a yellow-orange colour when certain plant extracts are added. One commonly used spice is annattoextracted from seeds of the tropical achiote tree. Originally added to simulate the colour of high-quality milk from grass-fed Jersey and Guernsey cows,  annatto may also impart a sweet, nutty flavour. The largest producer of Cheddar cheese in the United States, Kraftuses a combination of annatto and oleoresin paprika, an extract of the lipophilic oily portion of paprika.
Cheddar cheese was sometimes and still can be found packaged in black wax, but was more commonly packaged in larded cloth, which was impermeable to contaminants, but still allowed the cheese to "breathe". The Slow Food Movement has created a Cheddar Presidium,  claiming that only three cheeses should be called "original Cheddar". Their specifications, which go further than the "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" PDOrequire that Cheddar cheese be made in Somerset and with traditional methods, such as using raw milk, traditional animal rennetand a cloth wrapping.
Cheddars can be industrial or artisan cheeses. The flavour, colour, and quality of industrial cheese varies significantly, and food packaging will usually indicate a strength, such as mild, medium, strong, tasty, sharp, extra sharp, mature, old, or vintage; this may indicate the maturation period, or food additives used to enhance the flavour.
Artisan varieties develop strong and diverse flavours over time. Following wheat midge outbreak Canada in Extra mature cheese midth century, farmers in Ontario began to convert to dairy farming in large numbers, and Cheddar cheese became their main exportable product, even being exported to England.
By the turn of the 20th century, 1, Cheddar factories were in Ontario, and Cheddar had become Canada's second-largest export after timber. Kraft grew up on a dairy farm in Ontario, before moving to Chicago. The annual production istons. Much of the Cheddar cheese in New Zealand is factory produced. While most of it is sold young within the Extra mature cheese, the Anchor dairy company ships New Zealand Cheddars to the UK, where the blocks mature for another year or so.
Mature cheddar is the best-selling variety in the UK. The state of Wisconsin produces the most cheddar cheese in the United States; other centres of production include: It "Extra mature cheese" sold in several varieties mild, medium, sharp, extra-sharp, New York-style, white, and Vermont.
Cheddar that does not contain annatto is frequently labelled "white Cheddar" or "Vermont Cheddar" regardless of whether it was actually produced there. Vermont's three creameries produce what are regarded as first-class Cheddar cheeses: Some "Extra mature cheese" cheeses or "cheese foods" are called "Cheddar flavored".
Examples include Easy Cheese: Cheddar is one of several products used by the United States Department of Agriculture to track the status of America's overall dairy industry ; reports are issued weekly detailing prices and production quantities. The White House is said to have smelled of cheese for Extra mature cheese. It was planned to be exhibited at the Canadian display, but the mammoth cheese fell through the floor and was placed on a reinforced concrete floor in the Agricultural Building.
It received the most journalistic attention at the and was awarded the bronze medal. A cheese this size would use the equivalent of the daily milk production of 16, cows.

A site for women by a true romantic of a man. Along with a bio, there is a section with romantic/sexual fiction by him, and love poems by others. The scrapbook section is interesting, with his "links to women who've declined my marriage proposals", the color test (what does your favorite color say about your sexuality?) and his page about what kind of lingerie he prefers (you may be surprised.) » More Info!
I found this one via a link from one of my favorite author's (Thomas Roche) site. It's the home of Ms. Violet Blue, sex-educator, porn reviewer, senior staff writer at Good Vibrations and most recently prolific author for Cleiss Press. At the site you'll find a plethora of suggestions on videos, books, sextoys and more. Also, under the categories of 'cunnilingus', 'fellatio' and 'rimming' you'll find both erotic stories and informative articles on said topics. In the Violet Blue section is an ongoing photo weblog/journal. Very cool site, glad to have stumbled upon it.

Two suspects, barely teenagers, accused of brutal stabbing death of 43-year-old Lee’s Summit woman
LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. — Police arrested two suspects on Wednesday, suspected in the murder of a 43-year-old Lee’s Summit woman found stabbed in her car on Sunday. Police say the suspects are only 13 and 14-years old.
According to police, at about 1:15 a.m., on Sunday a Lee’s Summit officer saw a car with its headlights off and weaving in the road near S.E. 2nd Street and Grand Ave. The officer suspected the driver of intoxication and turned on his lights and siren. The driver of the vehicle pulled over into a parking lot of the apartment complex at that location but then drove over a curb and into a grassy common area, where two males jumped out of the car and ran.
The officer chased them briefly but lost sight of them. When the officer looked in the vehicle, he found the victim, Tanya Chamberlain, 43, of Lee’s Summit, dead in the passenger seat.
Police say the suspects in the case are 13 and 14-years old and both from Lee’s Summit. Officers add that formal charges are pending with Jackson County Family Court.
On Sunday, Lee’s Summit police told FOX 4 that they had a lot of evidence to go through. To put it in perspective, on Sunday, many in the Kansas City-area were thinking about the Kansas City Royals’ fifth World Series game against the Mets, while Tanya Chamberlain’s family and Lee’s Summit Police were dealing with the tragedy of her murder.
On Tuesday, police announced they had identified two suspects and released surveillance pictures. On Wednesday they announced their arrests. Due to their ages, and until and if they are charged as adults, FOX 4 has blurred the faces of the suspects in the surveillance pictures.
“Detectives worked tirelessly around the clock over the last several days and they sincerely hope their efforts will help bring some resolution to Tanya Chamberlain’s family,” said Lee’s Summit Community Interaction Officer, Beth Glover.

I originally began visiting the orchard at Paddock because it felt good to be outside during the first Covid lockdown in Spring 2020. The apple trees were quite overgrown so I began clearing brambles and enjoyed being among nature and listening to the birds.
Having a physical presence there sparked curiosity in people when they were passing and we chatted – about the trees, the pandemic and the neighbourhood. Soon after it became a community of people who are interested in the orchard.
By October that year I’d started a WhatsApp group. It’s only a small group of about 9 people. Some are very local to the orchard, and others from a mile or two away. We’ve managed to get together on site a couple of times to do some winter pruning and bramble clearing. All in a socially distanced way!
Having a group of people actively interested means we can begin to think about what things might look like in the longer term and we can increase our activity.
I tried previously at another orchard to get people interested, but without much success. The beauty of this one is that it’s on a busy walking route, so lots of people have an interest in the space. The site’s visibility to the nearby school and passing traffic really helps.
The group is mainly people over 30 years old, but we welcome anyone who would like to come and join us, regardless of age.
Thank you to Richard for sharing this story after participating in one of our “How can more people come together to make local places better?” online workshops for Kirklees citizens.

As we mentioned in previous articles during the last stage of the menstrual cycle normally a layer of endometriosis lining in the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood but instead some of the endometriosis tissues growing somewhere in the body causing endometriosis. Endometriosis also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle by building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. Normally, women taking the oral contraceptive pill are required to take additional mineral supplements because of mineral deficiency In this article, we will discuss the relationship of oral contraceptive combination pills and minerals.
I. Increase intake of below minerals
Oral contraceptive pills decrease lower blood levels of zinc and calcium in the women body causing weaken immune system, interfering with the function of reproductive muscles tone and a loss of appetite.
Oral contraceptive pills depletes magnesium in the body causing osteoporosis, muscle cramps, weakness, insomnia, anxiety and depression.
Study shows that women who take oral contraceptive pills when peak bone mass is developing may increase the risk of osteoporosis later in their life. It also shows that women using oral contraceptives and adding calcium in their diet gain significantly more bone mineral density in their hips and spines.
II. Reducing intake of below minerals
Since women are on the pill, their menstrual cycle have distorted. The reducing of period blood or no period contributes to less iron loss than other women who have menstruation.
Level of copper increase when women are on the pill causing mood swing, behavior disorder, depression and deficiency of zinc. This type of imbalance may damage to the liver if high levels of copper are allowed to accumulate for a prolong period of time.
Certain types of oral contraceptive pill may increase level of potassium that contribute to serious heart and health problems, sespecially for women having pre- existing condition such as kidney, liver or adrenal disease.
Since endometriosis is treatable and manageable by natural remedies and self help course, if you have endometroisis, please look at the bright side.
I hope this information will help. If you need more information or insurance advices, please follow my article series of the above subject at my home page at:

A Clean & Simple Formula
and, since many of you know I work in my laundry room -- I like clean! I discovered this lovely blog offering clean and simple designs. Great fodder for quickies and having fun -- here's this week's sketch. Isn't it wonderful? Here's the blog.


The Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez series continues this December as the two will go mano a mano and toe-to-toe once again in a 12-round welterweight battle between two of this era’s top pound for pound and evenly matched fighters. Pacquiao-Márquez 4, the eagerly anticipated fourth act of their fistoric rivalry that has had fans and media standing on their feet for 36 action-packed rounds, will take place Saturday, December 8. Right here, find a collection of quotes and photos from their opening press conference, as the two begin a familiar path.

“Our previous fights against each other brought out the best in us,” said Pacquiao.
“Of all the opponents I have fought, Juan Manuel Márquez is the only one who was able to anticipate many of my moves and effectively counter a lot of them. I underestimated him in our last fight but I will not make that mistake this time. Freddie Roach and I will make the mo...

Tomorrow is the first Sunday in May, and this day celebrates nature’s very own free musical performance. Dubbed International Dawn Chorus Day, it is set aside for nature lovers to rise early and bask in all the melodic twitterings our feathered friends have to offer. To celebrate, we are sharing a blog post from last year’s Dawn Chorus Walk, right here on the farm! Maybe you will feel inspired to rise early too…
I usually only see one 4:30 in a day, and as you may have guessed it isn’t the one followed by ‘AM’. Yet on Sunday 8th May I dragged myself out of bed at this ungodly hour, grabbed my camera with one hand and a croissant with the other, to join twenty other people in listening to nature’s orchestral spectacle – the Dawn Chorus.
Gerry Thomas, ornithologist and early morning tour guide, led us from the carpark and towards the three ponds, just as the night time was seeping away to the greyish morning light. Unfortunately, it seemed that the clouds did not wish for us to see an idyllic rural sunrise, but the birds were vocally undeterred and therefore so were we – wellies and walking boots meandering on towards the boardwalk, along the River Tern banks, the bluebell-clad ringwork and bailey site, and up to the woodland.
The woodland, as it had been during the 2021 Love Nature Festival, was a base for some conservation science – the band of bird ringers had returned! Once again, they were mist netting, recording the bird species, weight, sex and age, placing a unique ring on the bird’s leg and re-releasing. Our early morning group gathered to witness the ringing of a lovely little nuthatch, a mildly annoyed looking dunnock and a very vocal long tailed tit. However, throughout the day, Gerry’s group would ring 29 new birds, recapture six birds already ringed at Fordhall and two blackcaps bearing rings from other locations – the first ringed at Llangorse Lake in Powys and the second at Portland Bill in Dorset.
In amongst our assembly of Sunday morning wanderers was Fordhall Community Land Initiative Board Chair, Chris Tate. Sharing her experience of this particular event, Chris said:
“It was a very early start, with a chill in the air, but what better time to experience nature at its best (and most raucous!). On our walk we saw mandarin ducks, swallows, rabbits… and a bed of beautiful bluebells.
“I never really appreciated the range of bird songs until Gerry taught us how to recognise the calling of robins, blackbirds, chiffchaffs, swallows and carrion crows. As we ambled by the woodland, the River Tern and the ponds, we learnt all about their mating, survival and migration habits.
“The most fascinating was when we saw a long tail tit, a wren and a blue tit being ringed. We were mesmerised to watch the bird ringers determine their age from their wings and take their measurements and their weight. What an enjoyable morning, rounded off by a lovely hearty breakfast at Arthur’s.”

The town is facing a challenge on the housing front. In recent weeks, two proposals for major multi-unit housing developments have been submitted and still others may be in the works.
"These would mean a tremendous change for the town," said Anthony Guinta of George Street, who has been following plans for redevelopment of the Westport Inn site at 1595 Post Road East since they first were submitted. Guinta, a 70-year town resident, lives nearby.

The long-running hit show Dancing with the Stars has had its share of memorable moments, including a wedding proposal, a wardrobe malfunction, and lots of sharp dance moves. But just recently, one DWTS contestant had the bad luck of taking an elbow to the mouth on two separate occasions—one of which resulted in some serious dental damage.
Nationally syndicated radio personality Bobby Bones received the accidental blows while practicing with his partner, professional dancer Sharna Burgess. “I got hit really hard,” he said. “There was blood and a tooth. [My partner] was doing what she was supposed to do, and my face was not doing what it was supposed to do.”
Accidents like this can happen at any time—especially when people take part in activities where there’s a risk of dental trauma. Fortunately, dentists have many ways to treat oral injuries and restore damaged teeth. How do we do it?
It all depends on how much of the tooth is missing, whether the damage extends to the soft tissue in the tooth’s pulp, and whether the tooth’s roots are intact. If the roots are broken or seriously damaged, the tooth may need to be extracted (removed). It can then generally be replaced with a dental bridge or a state-of-the-art dental implant.
If the roots are healthy but the pulp is exposed, the tooth may become infected—a painful and potentially serious condition. A root canal is needed. In this procedure, the infected pulp tissue is removed and the “canals” (hollow spaces deep inside the tooth) are disinfected and sealed up. The tooth is then restored: A crown (cap) is generally used to replace the visible part above the gum line. A timely root canal procedure can often save a tooth that would otherwise be lost.
For moderate cracks and chips, dental veneers may be an option. Veneers are wafer-thin shells made of translucent material that go over the front surfaces of teeth. Custom-made from a model of your smile, veneers are securely cemented on to give you a restoration that looks natural and lasts for a long time.
It’s often possible to fix minor chips with dental bonding—and this type of restoration can frequently be done in just one office visit. In this procedure, layers of tooth-colored resin are applied to fill in the parts of the tooth that are missing, and then hardened by a special light. While it may not be as long-lasting as some other restoration methods, bonding is a relatively simple and inexpensive technique that can produce good results.

Each year, millions of children and teenagers wear braces or clear aligners to straighten a crooked smile. But there may be a way to treat some of these bite problems and avoid braces—by intercepting the problem at an earlier age.
This can often be done if the bite problem stems from abnormal jaw development rather than misaligned teeth. An example of this occurs when the upper jaw growth outpaces the lower jaw, causing the upper teeth to protrude beyond the lower teeth. Aside from the effect on appearance, protruding front upper teeth may extend beyond the protection of the lip and be more prone to injury.
A device called a Herbst appliance could prevent this from happening. The top of the device has two hinged metal tubes that connect to elastic bands bonded to the back teeth on both sides of the upper jaw. The bottom also has tubes affixed in the same way to the bottom teeth, except they're slightly smaller and fit within the upper tubes.
The lower tubes sliding within the upper tubes produces slight pressure against the lower jaw to ease it forward. This gradually influences the lower jaw to grow at a pace equal with the upper jaw to decrease the chances of poor bite development. Unlike other corrective methods, the Herbst appliance fixed in place and out of the way won't interfere with sports or other physical activities.
An installed Herbst appliance may change a patient's sensations during swallowing, eating or speaking, but most children adapt to the changes within a few days. And, because the device can create challenges for keeping the back teeth clean, many dentists recommend adding a fluoride rinse to daily brushing and flossing as an added boost against tooth decay.
The Herbst appliance is most effective during the period of most rapid physical growth between the ages of 11 and 14, but if the teeth are already beginning to protrude it can be undertaken as early as 8 or 9. Either way, this important orthodontic tool could help address a complicated bite problem and reduce the need for more costly orthodontic treatment later on.
If you would like more information on early interventions for poor bites, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “The Herbst Appliance.”
While retainers are often viewed as a nuisance, they’re crucial to protect the gains made with bite correction. Without them, all of the progress achieved through braces or clear aligners could be lost.
Here’s why: The same elastic gum tissue called the periodontal ligament that holds teeth in place also allows them to move incrementally in response to changes in the mouth. That’s why we can move teeth with braces or aligners, which put pressure on the teeth toward a desired direction of movement while the periodontal ligament does the rest.
But the mechanics can also work in reverse: With pressure relieved when the braces are removed, the teeth could revert to their original positions through a kind of “muscle memory.” The light pressure provided by a retainer is enough to keep or “retain” teeth in their new positions.
The best known retainer is a removable appliance. Initially, a patient wears it continuously and only takes it out during oral hygiene. Wear duration may later be reduced to night time only and eventually not at all, depending on a patient’s individual needs.
While effective, removable retainers do have some downsides. Like braces, they’re visible to others. And because they’re removable, they’re frequently misplaced or lost, leading to the added expense of a new one.
An alternative is a bonded retainer, a thin piece of wire attached to the back of the newly moved teeth to keep them in place. Because it’s behind the teeth it’s not visible—and there’s no misplacing it because only a dentist can take it out.
A bonded retainer is a good option, especially if a patient is immature and not as diligent about wearing or keeping up with their appliance. But it can make flossing difficult to perform, and if they’re removed or broken prematurely, the teeth could revert to their former positions.
If you decide to go with a bonded retainer, be sure you get some tips from your dental hygienist on how to floss with it. And if you decide later to have it removed early, be sure to replace it with a removable retainer. Either of these two options can help you keep your new and improved smile.
If you would like more information on bonded retainers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “Bonded Retainers.”
Approximately 4 million tweens and teens are currently undergoing orthodontic treatment for a poor bite (malocclusion) that can cost their families thousands of dollars in braces or clear aligners. But treatment doesn't always have to follow this track: Found early, many malocclusions can be corrected or minimized before they fully develop.
Known as interceptive orthodontics, this particular approach to bite correction often begins as early as 6-10 years of age. Rather than move existing teeth, interceptive orthodontics focuses instead on redirecting jaw growth and intervening in other situations that can cause malocclusions.
For example, a child's upper jaw may not be growing wide enough to accommodate all incoming permanent teeth, crowding later arrivals out of their proper positions. But taking advantage of a gap during early childhood that runs through the center of the palate (roof of the mouth), orthodontists can increase jaw width with a device called a palatal expander.
The expander fits up against the palate with “legs” that extend and make contact with the inside of the teeth. With gradually applied pressure, the expander widens the central gap and the body naturally fills it with new bone cells. The bone accumulation causes the jaws to widen and create more room for incoming teeth.
Another way a malocclusion can develop involves the primary or “baby” teeth. As one of their purposes, primary teeth serve as placeholders for the future permanent teeth forming in the gums. But if they're lost prematurely, adjacent teeth can drift into the vacant space and crowd out incoming teeth.
Dentists prevent this with a space maintainer, a thin metal loop attached to the adjoining teeth that puts pressure on them to prevent them from entering the space. This spacer is removed when the permanent tooth is ready to erupt.
These and other interceptive methods are often effective in minimizing the formation of malocclusions. But it's often best to use them early: Palatal expansion, for example, is best undertaken before the central gap fuses in early puberty, and space maintainers before the permanent tooth erupts.
That's why we recommend that children undergo an orthodontic evaluation around age 6 to assess their early bite development. If a malocclusion looks likely, early intervention could prevent it and reduce future treatment costs.
If you would like more information on interceptive orthodontics, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “Interceptive Orthodontics.”
Complete tooth loss is a common condition among older adults, gradually occurring one or two teeth at a time. There often comes a point of realization, though, that all the teeth will eventually be lost.
This can create a dilemma: Do you replace teeth as they're lost, or go ahead and have all of them removed at one time?
Up until recently, the latter choice seemed the most practical and affordable. But most dentists would agree that keeping natural teeth for as long as practical is better for a person's overall oral health and to slow any potential bone loss.
The emergence of dental implants has made this less of a dilemma: We can use this technology to more affordably replace teeth in stages rather than all at once. This is because an implant is technically a root replacement: a dentist inserts a titanium metal post into the jawbone. Because of an affinity with titanium, bone cells grow and adhere to the implant surface, which creates a stronger hold. It also impedes bone loss.
We can, of course, use implants as individual tooth replacements. But the expense of this approach with multiple teeth puts it well out of reach financially for many people. But implants can also be used as connective points between the patient's jaw and other kinds of dental restorations like bridges, partial dentures, and full removable or fixed dentures.
Using this approach, we can adopt a strategy of allowing healthier teeth to remain until it's necessary to remove them. We initially place implants to support a bridge, for example; later we can use the same implants along with additional ones to support a larger restoration, even a fixed full denture.
An implant-supported restoration is typically more expensive than traditional bridges or dentures, but far less than replacing teeth with individual implants. And because the stages of restorations may occur over a long period of time, the cost can be spread out to make it more manageable.
If you're facing a future where it's likely you'll lose all your teeth, you don't have to lose them all at once. Staged restorations with implants could help you hold on to your natural teeth for as long as possible, slow bone loss and make for a healthier mouth.

text: My morning DID NOT get off to a good start, lol! Usually, when DH is home, I will make calf bottles, and he will go out with Austin, and feed them. I usually stay in and get Gabe's meds and neb going. Austin decided to sleep in this morning, so I got up quick, threw on coveralls, and headed out to help. I decided to check on my broody girl in the garage, before jumping on the Kubota. She had one chick hatched as of last night. So I open the cage door, and notice a little different smell...thinking an egg was seeping or something. I lift her up, and all of a sudden, "Pop!" Mmm, yeah-I have just experienced my first exploding rotten egg. Where is the vomit smiley when you need it! My word, that was horrid, and I kept smelling it through the day, it was stuck in my nose. Ick. So anyway, yeah, I didn't candle towards the end, like I should have. Two of them ended up exploding. The part that really bothered me though, was when I went to lift her and the chick out, so I could clean the cage quick. Two of the eggs left apparently were sticking to her underside, cause they fell and hit the garage floor One was cracked, and I could hear the little fella peeping, and feel it moving, so I put it back, also with the other one, which I saw a little movement with. I just went out a few minutes ago, and the first one I described has broken out of it's broken shell, but the other one, I don't see anymore movement. So I killed my first chick I guess I should be happy she has what looks to be two healthy little fuzzballs, but I still feel bad.
