Abortion—a word that has been thrown around lately like a batter in a hot pan. In the state where I live, abortion to full term has recently been passed in Parliament. People have cried about it and others were dancing in the street over it.
Some call it a great day for women’s rights (choices), while thousands of women grieve for the impending loss of future unborn babies and wonder when they ever gave permission for a loud minority of women to speak on behalf of the rest of us?
My question is, when did we become God? When did we elevate ourselves so high that we have the audacity to think we get to choose who should have life and who should not? And when does the voice of the unborn matter?
A story I’ll never forget
I once knew a lady—for the sake of this article we’ll call her Jane. Jane’s husband didn’t want children and after the birth of their first daughter, he forced Jane to have abortions for the following four pregnancies. This broke Jane’s heart. She buried the remains of the aborted babies in four little plots under a tree in her garden.
When she discovered she was pregnant again, she hid her pregnancy for as long as she possibly could, protecting her baby with the fierceness of a lioness. With her husband’s long absences, by the time it was obvious that she was pregnant, it was too late to discard the baby. The abuse hadn’t ended, but her baby boy was given the chance to live.
The little boy born to Jane, grew up in not-so-nice circumstances. It was a sad cruel world he witnessed but he had been blessed with a natural empathy from a young age that noticed the pain of his mother. As he grew, he took it upon himself to look after her as best he could while she continued struggling with the lasting pain of what had been done to her.
Nervous breakdowns ensued as Jane continued to struggle with, not only her physical pain, but also her emotional pain. What was meant to ‘get rid of the problem,’ became the problem. Abortion had rendered Jane with a life-long sentence eventually killing her in her old age through cervical cancer.
Rejection and hope
Rejected by his father who was by then nowhere to be found, the little boy grew to become a teenager, and through the careful divine weaving of his path, he came to know a father who knew him before he was formed in his mother’s womb (Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 5).
He found God, and the love that God had for him was greater than this young man had never known before. He discovered that God had known him all along and had loved him all along, pursuing him until he was found.
This turning point would change his life forever. After joining a local church youth group, the young man met a beautiful young lady and together they felt a calling to live to serve God. Not long after their marriage, they had their first of four babies and studied to become church pastors.
The young man’s empathy and newfound love for God was now reaching out to help others, and he continues to bless people to this very day.
This man is my father.
Their sacrifices brought life
I am grateful to have grown up in a loving Christian home, where I have known about God all of my life. But I am well aware that my three siblings and myself, our spouses, our combined children and our future generations would not be here if it were not for the heroic act of my Grandmother hiding her final pregnancy.
My Dad is heroic for choosing a positive life despite his disadvantaged, abusive upbringing, and we are forever grateful for the sacrifices that went before us to give us the life that we have now.
So, if you want to talk to me about choices, there are always choices.
Some are just better than others.
Love the mother, love the baby. The future is bigger than here and now.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah chapter 1, verse 5)

Physician pay is struggling to keep up with inflation, declining reimbursement and Medicare pay cuts.
Harry Severance, MD, adjunct assistant professor at Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, N.C., connected with Becker's to discuss the effects of CMS' suggested 3.34 percent conversion factor decrease from its proposed Medicare physician fee schedule for 2024.
Note: This response has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
Dr. Harry Severance: Multiple sources note that physician salaries/income represent only 8.6 percent of total healthcare costs. This is an extremely small figure as compared with those of other healthcare stakeholders such as C-suite personnel, the massive expansion in other hospital administrative/management personnel, big pharma, the insurance industry and other healthcare system contributions to total healthcare costs. When adjusted for inflation, Medicare physician payment has already dropped by 26 percent from 2001 to 2023 per the president of the American Medical Association. Physicians are one of the only providers who don't receive an automatic inflationary pay increase.
As the vast majority of U.S. physicians are now employees, they have seen their actual incomes substantially decrease as their employer facilities (who bill for their employees' services rendered) keep increasingly large chunks of these revenues for themselves. We now face a situation where we are already critically short on available and future physicians within our healthcare system. Nearly 50 percent of currently practicing physicians are over 55 years old with many now taking early retirement. Not nearly enough new physicians are being trained to even fill current needs — much less to address the huge arriving bubble of retiring baby boomers.
This current shortfall has already led to significant decreases in patient access to timely and adequate healthcare throughout the country. This shortage has also led to many hospitals reporting that they cannot find enough available doctors (and other healthcare workers) to keep critical service lines open, thus losing critical revenues and having to close. This at a time when healthcare workplace abuses, violence and assaults, and toxic workplace conditions with increasingly impossible to meet productivity and quality benchmarks are at an all-time high and continuing to rise unchecked.
All these factors have led to hundreds of thousands of physicians (117,000 physicians left healthcare in the fourth quarter of 2021 alone) joining the healthcare workers who have abandoned healthcare in the past two years. Others, when laws permit, have joined unions to fight for better conditions and pay.
[CMS' suggested 3.34 percent conversion factor decrease] seems to be an incredibly shortsighted and unwise move to further ding this critically decreasing resource — our nation's doctors — with an additional federal pay cut. The results, if enacted, will only lead to further departures by physicians from healthcare, and also significantly decreased interest by those in the formative years of choosing healthcare as a possible future career.
Will the last physician to leave please turn out the lights?

A new study shows that Obamacare has made it possible for the dominant health insurers to jack their rates:
Our study shows that the largest issuer in each marketplace had a 75% higher premium increase from 2014 to 2015 compared to other same-state issuers (p=0.03, one-tailed paired t-test). On average, the largest issuers raised rates by 23.9%, while the other issuers only raised rates by 13.7%. Moreover, the largest issuers’ premium increase affects a larger proportion of plans (p=0.008, one-tailed paired t-test) and do not seem justified from the standpoint of incurred claims-to-premium ratio (p=0.31, one-tailed paired t-test for higher claims ratio). Projected Index Rate from the rate review process is used as a summary of an issuer’s premiums across different plans and Projected Member Months as a proxy for on-exchange market share. Our findings suggest that even after the Affordable Care Act, the largest on-exchange issuers may be in a better position to practice anti-competitive pricing compared to their same-state counterparts.

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world and account for 15% of blindness in Canada. The condition, which results in deficits in acuity and contrast sensitivity and increased disability glare, is present in half of adults over the age of 65 years. Older drivers with cataract are more likely to have a history of recent driving accidents compared with older drivers without impaired vision, yet it has not been determined whether the surgical removal of cataracts--a highly successful treatment--reduces the likelihood of crashing. Investigators set out to determine the impact of cataract surgery on the crash risk for older adults in the years following surgery, compared with that of older adults with cataracts but who opted not to have surgery.
The prospective cohort study recruited 277 patients aged 55 to 84 with cataract, 174 of whom elected to undergo surgery. Researchers followed the patients for four to six years and compared vehicle crash occurrence involving patients who elected to have surgery versus those who did not.
Results showed that people who underwent surgery were 53% less likely to be involved in a car crash than those who did not have surgery, which translated to five crashes per million miles of travel among recipients of surgery compared to nine crashes per million miles for those who declined surgery. However, the authors, aware of the study's limitations, caution against the inference that surgery can make people better drivers. Patients who opted out of surgery may have had other medical risk factors that influenced both their decision to avoid the procedure and their risk of car crashes. Therefore, while the study may indicate that driving performance of older drivers with cataracts might improve after surgery, the threat of selection bias prevents more firm conclusions.

Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Michael Regan addresses a gathering of state and local government officials at The White House on January 27. He announced new drinking water standards to identify PFAS chemicals on Tuesday. File Photo by Jemal Countess/UPI | License Photo
March 14 (UPI) -- The Biden administration announced new national drinking water standards that address polyfluoroalkyl substances, of PFAS, limiting their exposure in humans.
Officials said the proposed rule will allow federal and state officials the guidelines it needs to combat PFAS pollution. PFAS is a category of manufactured chemicals that can cause serious health problems, including cancer if people are exposed to them over a long period of time.
The proposed standard will allow the Environmental Protection Agency to test public water systems for six PFAS chemicals, called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down over time.
The agency will be required to notify the public if the levels of these PFAS exceed the proposed regulatory standards and take action to reduce the level of PFAS in the water supply.
"Communities across this country have suffered far too long from the ever-present threat of PFAS pollution," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement. "That's why President Biden launched a whole-of-government approach to aggressively confront these harmful chemicals, and EPA is leading the way forward.
Regan said the new PFAS standards will be based on the "best available science" and provide states with information to establish their own standards.
"This action has the potential to prevent tens of thousands of PFAS-related illnesses and marks a major step toward safeguarding all our communities from these dangerous contaminants," Regan said.
PFAS chemicals can be found in fertilizer that then seeps into drinking water, fire extinguisher foam, manufacturing or chemical production facilities, and a wide range of food packaging and personal care products.

George R.R. Martin's "The Winds of Winter" is one of the most highly anticipated books of all time. Fans have been waiting for six years and are still waiting. A recent interview with fellow authors of GRRM will most likely help us appreciate the long-overdue delay of the book.
In an interview with the Insider, Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson, colleagues and co-authors of George RR Martin in "A World of Ice and Fire," gave out some observations on how GRRM creates his novels. Their insights can give us some light to further understand why the book "The Winds of Winter" is not yet finished since it was started about six years ago.
Wild Cards Coming Atcha https://t.co/SS6w21NQyX
— George RR Martin (@GRRMspeaking) February 8, 2017
Linda Antonsson told the publication that GRRM's gardening style of writing is very evident in the way "The Winds of Winter" is slowly progressing. The former describes the latter, "He feels that once he has outlined it, once he has explored all the details of the story, all the beats of the story, he can't go back and revisit it."
Linda Antonsson also added that GRRM will be bored if he will go back and check again his notes on one particularly story for TWoW." The latter's style of writing means that once he is done with a particular story, he is not likely going to revisit and revise as he believes he has already squeezed out all his creative juices to create that particular, excellent story.
GRRM has explained this gardening style of writing in an interview with the Guardian. The author admitted that he is that gardener type of a writer.
According to GRRM, his style of writing is comparative with how a gardener performs his job. The latter digs a hole puts a seed in it and then waters it. The renowned author explained that although the gardener knows what kind of seed he has planted, he has no idea how the seed will blossom. The gardener does not know the details like how many branches will spring up or how it will shape up as it grows.
Meanwhile, in the latest blog of the "ASOIF" author, he gave an update on what he has been busy with the past days. Apparently, he was busy writing a story for his friend Gardner Dozois, Hugo awardee for Best Professional Editor.
In the blog, George RR Martin shared that he wrote a short story in Gardner Dozois' upcoming book "The Sons of the Dragon." "The Winds of Winter" author also emphasized that he only wrote a small part of the book and that he did not do any editing part.

Originally, the Town Gate « France » was the gate for trading, mainly with Switzerland. The lower part dates back to 1330, and in the course of history, this gate has gone through a few changes. The Gate "France" successively bears the coat of arms of the Holy German Empire, of Louis XIV and was flanked with turrets in 1871, which were removed in 1912.
Originally, the Town Gate "France" was equipped with a drawbridge, a portcullis and of course two doors that were closed at night and during mass on Sundays.
Built in the 14th century, the Town Gate « Munster » bears witness to the history of witchcraft : it is through that gate that the tortured witches were lead to a place named La Wann where they were burnt. Yet its windows decorated with scallops suggest a less murderous role : a stopover on the way to the St-Jacques-de-Compostelle pilgrimage.
The Town Gate "Munster" was also supposed to warn people of thunderstorms, as is shown by its still intact bell in the small belltower.
Originally, « Laube » (covered market), then « Herrenstube » (Townhall), the guardhouse was assigned to the guilds in 1575 who turned it into their "household". The history of the Guardhouse is eventful : it was used as an assembly-room and a "household", i.e. cooking ustensils and crockery, useful for the guilds' lives were stored there, but also objects for processions. Then it was turned into housing, then into a girls' school, the ground floor was even used as a butcher's stall. In 1970, it became the police station. An imperial eagle decorates the gable wall and the bell in the tower dates back to 1658.
Already mentioned in the townhall's rules in 1667, a fountain stands right in front of the guardhouse : it was forbidden to do washing and let animals drink. With a statue of Mary the Virgin with Child at the top, this fountain from the 18th century is the only water supply fed by a spring.
Built in the 17th century style, the townhall used to be the court of justice of the former imperial city. The cowshed and adjoining buildings were destroyed around 1860, the ground floor was long used as a ballroom ! When it was renovated, two Gothic walls and a Roman wall were discovered.
The former banister made of wrought iron was replaced by a balustrade made of sandstone from the Rouffach quarry.

Calkins examines how we curate and fluidly present versions of our identity. Using the self-portrait, he considers how we see ourselves, are seen by others, think we are being seen, and want to be seen, and questions how these desires and perceptions of Self change due to forces such as illness, pain, the pandemic, and love. Finally, Calkins asks us to examine how we use our created identities to control social situations, isolate, and experience relationships -- what do we chose to reveal.

Mosquitoes trapped in two locations by the Gem County Mosquito Abatement District tested positive for St. Louis encephalitis virus.
Both areas are being treated, but efforts are being hampered by weather.
It’s unusual to find the virus in Idaho. According the Center for Disease Control, most cases have occurred in eastern and central states. Most people infected with SLEV show no symptoms. Those who do become ill experience flu-like symptoms — fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.
The more severe version of the disease involves inflammation of the brain, and occurs most commonly in older adults. Cases involving death or long-term disability are extremely rare.
To reduce your risk of being infected use insect repellent, wear protective clothing, stay indoors while mosquitoes are active, make sure window screens are secure and eliminate standing water on your property.

While police and first responders were on high alert during the 420 Vancouver event at Sunset Beach on Friday, Vancouver Police said there were “no major incidents” to deal with.
Still, police arrested a youth for assault and weapons charges, and another man was arrested for breaching his release conditions.
At the peak of the event, police estimated the crowd to number approximately 40,000 people along with a total of 482 vendor tents.
There was a small, but varied number of medical cals throughout the day as well.
In total, emergency health services responded to 23 “medical emergencies,” 10 overdose calls, and eight hospitalizations.
On Saturday, the Vancouver Park Board said the field at Sunset Beach where the event was held would be closed for up to 10 weeks for repairs and rehabilitation as a result of the event.

|Speaker to challenge students, community
|Posted: Thursday, March 8, 2012 9:09 pm
|What parent could turn a blind eye to their child’s future?
The answer, hopefully, is no one in our community.
Union City schools will be sponsoring a program to address that future Tuesday evening at 7 at Union City Civic Auditorium. The doors will open at 6:15 p.m. for refreshments and there will be door prizes at this free event for families.
Author, dynamic speaker and entrepreneur Ron Glodoski will be the guest speaker. Glodoski is a leading national expert on bullying, substance abuse and resiliency and is the author of “How to Be a Successful Criminal: The Real Deal on Crime, Drugs and Easy Money.”
After speaking to students in the school system in grades third through 12th earlier in the school day, Glodoski will be talking about several topics with their parents that evening.
• helping children learn what is important to “embrace” as well as “reject”;
• gaining insight in to the stress and pressures of a child’s daily life:
• discussing learned behaviors and how they correlate with diversity and acceptance;
• realizing how asset building turns into healthy lifestyles;
• learning how our thoughts create our reality;
• understanding the different learning styles to help children meet their graduation requirements.
Glodoski, whose work has been acclaimed nationally by parents, educators, administrators, judges, police officers, counselors and social workers, will be challenging children to believe in the value of their own lives and stressing the importance of respecting themselves and others.
The Tuesday night program is open to the community.

HuggableSquare’s review published on Letterboxd :
Really good world building without smacking you over the head with exposition for the entire movie. It builds on top of Pokemon's success and fame without completely hanging out to dry people who aren't fanatics. The story wasn't the strongest, but it's good enough to not drag the entire movie down with it. The bottom line is: Pikachu was adorable, and that's worth at least 3 stars alone.

Delta State governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, on Tuesday rued the country’s state of the economy with the resultant effects of many families being unable to feed.
Noting that the COVID-19, 2020 actually destroyed a lot of businesses, the governor said generating revenue internally through taxes had been difficult.
“We are doing quite a lot trying to get my people into the tax bracket. Then we are also very mindful of the fact that if you look into the general populace, the economy is such that a lot of people are being strangulated.
“To that extent, you are careful so that you don’t overtax the entire populace and therefore further dig down on the economy and cause a situation where many families are not able to feed.
“All the same, we try to bring a lot into the tax net, we are trying to be very responsible in our approach to that because of the COVID-19, 2020 actually destroyed a lot of businesses,” Okowa told State House correspondents on after a meeting with the Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
According to the governor, the strangulating effect of the economy on many citizens had made it almost impossible to impose taxes adequately on the people.
Okowa said as part of efforts to boost the state’s economy measures were already in place to increase the number of youth entrepreneurs and bring more people into the tax bracket.
“We are also doing a lot of things to try to support some of those businesses; we are also growing a lot of youth entrepreneurs in the state through various programmes; so those ones can come in into tax bracket.
“We hope that in that in the midst of the two, we still stay very much afloat; so, we hope that there will be a little growth in our IGR, but not as much we expected because of the impact of the COVID-19”, Persecondnews quotes Okowa as saying.
On COVID-19 vaccination, the governor called for increased enlightenment to enable more Nigerians to take the jab.
Okowa explained:”AstraZeneca vaccine and other products are safe and effective against the virus… there should be collaboration between the federal and state governments as well as the communities and other stakeholders in the fight against the spread of the virus in the country.
“Yeah, it worked well, you realize that out of 4 million about 3.9 million doses of Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine were distributed. We got just about 95,000 doses as a state and that has been fully utilized both in the first and the second dose.
“Actually, in the country they have done well, but there is no doubt that as we entered into the second doses. As a result of the anti-vaccine campaign, the kind of messages they pass out a lot of people started having some level of hesitancy, but of all of the doses we have in state were taken up and across the nation.
“As of the last meeting we had last week Thursday, I chaired the NEC sub-committee interfacing with the Presidential Steering Committee. We didn’t really lose anything and as of that Thursday one will say few days for it expire, we had only nine vials so that means we are not going to lose anything.
“But we have to up the campaign as we are expecting many more vaccines at the end of July, first week of August which is going to run into a few more millions. So we just have to keep the campaign going.
“I want to reassure Nigerians that the AstraZeneca vaccine and all other vaccines, have been proven very safe. The adverse effect following vaccination actually has been very minimal, there is been no reported death following vaccination and we have all taken our first and second doses and we are well.”
“There is need for a lot of collaboration among the governors across the nation and there is need for the federal government to also work closely with the governors.
“All the governors have also realized that they need to work with the communities, the vigilante groups that come in various names and I believe that it is going to help each and everyone of us out”, the Delta governor said.

Church and Play Centre
Design is progressing well for the extension and refurbishment to this church and play centre in Hackney. The church building was one of the oldest Royal Mail sorting office in London; built in 1888.
A new glass entrance lobby is proposed; with improvements made to the street-front facade. Another floor of accommodations will be added to part of the play centre and the vestry to provide more spaces for the community with new landscaping to the central courtyard and outdoor children playground.

LandPKS News & Updates
LandPKS Adoption in Tanzania
Village Agricultural Officers provide a critical service to farmers in Tanzania, serving as the major source of agricultural information.
Village Agricultural Officers provide a critical service to smallholder farmers in rural Tanzania. They serve as the major source of agricultural information for farmers and connect farmers to larger projects and organizations.
This week, the LandPKS team had the pleasure to spend a few days with the Agricultural Officer for Malagosi Village in Iringa Region, Tanzania. The Agricultural Officer is young, motivated, and cares about providing quality information to the farmers of Malagosi. After only a morning of training on how to use LandPKS, she was able to not only go through the LandInfo App on her own, but also helped train a few active youth in Malagosi on how to use LandPKS. She stated that she “could put the LandPKS results for each sub-village up on in village office, and if a farmer wants more information they can ask me to conduct LandPKS on their farm.”
The LandPKS team hopes that Village Agriculture Officers throughout Tanzania can play a role in increasing the adoption of LandPKS and thereby helping farmers make more sustainable agricultural choices based on their soils.

You totally did think I was going to say “goose.”
Also: I don’t want to hear any of your shit.
Yes, we are in coastal Carolina. Yes, there has been the eating of barbeque, there will be the eating of seafood and there has been much pizza. Yes, I should be stuffing my gullet with ‘cue and crab ’til the she-crabs come home. However: I am at the BEACH, goddammit. And just because I’m in North Carolina does not mean I am immune to the siren song of a chili dog and some really good frozen custard. Oh, and french fries. I love a damn french fry.
Hence exhibit A: Not ONLY are there chili dogs, not ONLY are there dubious “better” (Than?) burgers, there are “beach fries,” which may or may not be different and/or better than regular fries and the WORLDS [sic] BEST ICE CREAM. Yes, my friends, the World’s Best Ice Cream is right here in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina.
The building looks kinda like a Dairy Queen, but with a steeple. Like there’s a god of soft-serve frozen custard and this is the sanctuary we have built him, 20 cubits wide by 40 cubits long by 15 cubits high.
I assume the master frozen custard recipe is kept in an ark inside the sanctuary, languidly guarded from the Nazis who would use it to further their own power play day and night by half-alert teenagers from Virginia spending their summer at the beach.
Yes, I am going to hell, but at least I had a really good chili dog first.
Exhibit B: Chili cheese dog. Note than some among us who are not myself eat this with a side of mustard. Interesting
I’m not sure how this was physically done, and I was THERE.
The chili dogs and french fries, while very good, were not exemplars of their breed. Really, they were just precursors to the milkshakes and were eaten so we wouldn’t feel like total gluttons who ate nothing but ice cream for lunch. (Although now that I reflect, FUCK THAT. I am on a motherfucking VACATION and I WILL eat ice cream for lunch if I so choose.)
The cup to the rear contains a chocolate malted that had so much malt powder that it verged near – nay, brazenly charged across – the line between “tasty” and “medicinal.” At least for me, because I don’t like malt. Brian, however, was in malt heaven. I’m pretty sure he wants to go back for another one this very second.
In front was my COCONUT CREAM PIE MILKSHAKE. And this is how I know that the recipes they guard must have come from the hand of a higher power because oh my fucking god did this kick ass. Thick and creamy, vanilla-y and coconuty, with toasted coconut all throughout…maybe we should go back right now.
Tomorrow: The Barbecue Cometh.
Damn you, Michelle. Yes, I am damning you. I’m from NC and rarely got out to the Outer Banks. I love it out there, yet know very little about it. And now I want a vacation, dammit. Pizza, chili dogs, hand cut fries, seafood, bbq galore.
That mustard pile is really, REALLY terrifying.
Woah there, Nelly. What is a frozen custard? Is it a milkshake? Is this a regional thing? Like a frappe with a drawl? Or is it actually frozen custard and if so, how long a flight is it to Kill Devil Hills?
Oh, I’m sorry. That does not qualify as a SIDE of mustard! It is a BEHEMOTH of mustard! A LEVIATHAN of mustard! So much mustard! Ahhhhh!
However, I would eat the shit outta that coconut cream pie milkshake. Like, for reals, yo.
So bad yet so good. Lol. Glad you’re enjoying your vacation!
Oh deary me.
I live in NC Piedmont, and I find so many things to be critical of in the above pictures that I hardly know where to start, regarding chili dogs in particular.
But I will chuck all that for now (though if you get to Raleigh go to the Roast Grill for a real chili dog).
I simply cannot let the phrase “world’s best ice cream” whiz past my head without conjuring upon Toscanini’s ice cream in Cambridge, MA ((http://www.tosci.com/)). Though I am a north carolina farm boy, born and bred, redneck to the bone, there is a piece of my heart permanently located in Cambridge, not the least because of Tosci’s and Mary Chung’s.
cheese sauce? cheese SAUCE on a chili dog? omg, ugh. (ok I’ll stop now)
“Yes, I am going to hell,…”
Heaven for the climate. Hell for the company.
See ya there!
emily, seriously, wait until you see the bbq i’m going to post later today. and the sandwich later this week with the tuna salad made from freshly caught and smoked tuna from the place that also has the best hush puppies, and the other place with the “world’s best ice cream” and the…
linda, yes, it is. although i have been instructed to clarify that the mustard pit was for the french fries, not the hot dog.
susan, frozen custard is a particularly rich and creamy kind of soft-serve ice cream. what you are seeing are milkshakes made from said custard.
kay, you WOULD. just like i’m going to do to the next one i get.
lucrezia, so true. thanks!
fuzzy, re: the cheese sauce, i do agree. however, it was still good, and i would still eat another one. (and i’m from jersey, home of the texas weiner.) for me, the main shortcoming was lack of onions, but i let these things go because VACATIOOOOON.
re: ice cream, toscanini’s is an archetype of the form. i also loved the place around the corner – herrell’s? – because their chocolate pudding ice cream was the bomb and they make THE BEST hot fudge.
other kay, cheers! i’ll bring the cheese dip, you bring the beer.
Ok, I seriously might have to go find a chili dog here in Brooklyn/Manhattan stat. Weirdest. Craving. Ever.
re: Boston area ice cream, Toscanini’s didn’t pay their sales tax for years, got in lots of trouble and then asked their customers, who already paid said tax, to make donations so they could pay the government and stay open. Shady, shady business… and the people paid, so they’re still around. Not shady ice cream that’s a must try next time you’re in Cambridge, Christina’s in Inman Square. Totally worth the trek.
re: your lunch, I want those fries right now. Or the physical equivalent but with the fair fry perfect texture and taste.
You had to go all the way to the Carolinas for a chili dog and fries? You’re in Jersey! You are pretty close to boardwalk fries. Of course I haven’t been to the Jersey Shore for any length of time since…oh…maybe 1990, so for all I know, it’s all so crappy now that it wouldn’t be worth a short trip.
There is nothing wrong with ice cream for dinner. I do that all the time on vacation (and sometimes when I’m not on vacation). I think that coconut shake is a perfect meal.
I also think the World’s Best Ice Cream is the Bellvale Creamery in Warwick, NY, but everyone knows that. I’m not sure my opinion could be swayed away from that belief.
YES to Herrell’s ice cream! I spent many happy hours in their store in Northampton, MA while I was in college and they totally do have the best hot fudge I’ve ever had. They sell it on the innernet too, FYI. I dream about a hot fudge sundae with Burnt Butter ‘n Sugar ice cream and almonds. . . Sigh. As you were.
It’s a good thing I wasn’t there, because I would seriously fight you to the ground for that coconut shake.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating only ice cream as a meal on vacation. I would know.
Plus, I’m in total agreement about Herrell’s hot fudge – the best ever.
OK, Karen@MIgnardise, so next time you are down in MA you’ll pick up some hot fudge from Herrell’s for the rest of us? Then we’ll make sundaes and have them for dinner (you know, before next week when the snow flies!).
I think there is a consensus Michelle: Ice cream (and its derivatives) can be either a dessert or entree course. I would add that it isn’t all bad as an appetizer either.
I live in Chesapeake, VA and traveled down specifically to shop next door to this place (for some really cool ceramic lanterns for the backyard). We ate Kill Devils as well. We had cheeseburgers, fries and milkshakes. omg- the shakes were shake-a-licious.

Purchase a 2way radio with a built in baby monitor function so you can always know as soon as your dog barks and can either use the radio to interrupt him or can return to the car to correct him.

Zurich, Switzerland’s Disco Doom formed in 1996 with the core duo of guitarist/vocalist Gabriele De Mario and guitarist/bassist Anita Rufer.
With a rotating cast of drummers and longtime keyboardist Daniel Nievergelt, they crafted songs that updated the classic ‘90s indie rock of Superchunk and Pavement. RRKR (2002) and Binary Stars (2003) laid the groundwork for Disco Doom's sound, but 2008’s Dream Electric, which introduced more pop elements into their music, was their breakthrough album. They supported Built to Spill on a U.S. tour, then headed to Seattle, Washington to record with BTS’ Jim Roth; the results became 2011’s Trux Reverb, which reintroduced the band’s rock edge. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Come to the island of Vis and find out why all its visitors call it superb and magnificent. In our offer of accommodation on Vis you can find more than 250 units, of which the largest number are apartments and private rooms. Accommodation included in our offer is air conditioned and often has a beautiful view of the open sea. You'll be amazed by the proximity to clean beaches, with the clearest and most refreshing sea. The famous beach Stiniva is located on the island of Vis, on the south side of the island. Book an apartment and go on a tour. Get mesmerized by the starry sky. In addition to Vis, do visit the islands surrounding it, as well as the popular island Biševo where the great Blue Cave is hiding.
One of the farthest inhabited islands of Croatia - Vis - will treat its visitors to the rich remains of Issa, the largest ancient Greek colony. Everybody will be delighted with the heavenly untouched nature, the turquoise glimmer of its hidden caverns and the volcanic islets of its archipelago. A summer spent on Vis will be filled with fishermen's feasts, the rich flavors of indigenous delicacies and, quite unexpectedly, international ballet.
Solitary Vis in the shadow of its ancient glory
As early as the fourth century BC, Vis island marked the beginning of the antique history of Dalmatia. The remains of the largest ancient Greek colony, Issa, are visited by history lovers on both its localities: the hill of Gradina close to Vis town and the archeological park Martvilo. The town's other prominent site is the sixteenth century monastery on the Prirovo peninsula, which was built atop the remains of an ancient theater. Gospina batarija (Our Lady's battery) - a former 19th century fort - houses Vis' priceless archeological collection, whose highlight is the bronze head of the goddess Artemis.
The island is also decorated with gorgeous Renaissance holiday homes of the then-aristocracy and the churches they commissioned. A chief sight among these is the thirteenth-century church of Saint Nicholas above the town of Komiža. More recent history is mirrored in the many military forts, reminiscent of the days when Vis was off limits to foreigners.
The turquoise caves and volcanic archipelago of Vis
A silver lining of the forty-five years of army-imposed isolation, which Vis had to endure until 1989, had an excellent effect on the preservation of the island's nature, so that it can nowadays be described as truly heavenly. Among the best-preserved islands in the Mediterranean, its visitors will revel in the exploration of the magical caves - Krajicine, Zelene on the small island of Ravnik and the most famous among them, the Blue cave on Biševo.
Besides Biševo, there are other two islands situated at the mouth of the bay of Komiza, Jabuka and Brusnik, they are Croatia's only volcanic islands. These natural geological monuments are the wardens of the endemic plant life of the Adriatic. Vis is also famous for its Zaglav sandy beach and numerous bays, such as Rogačić, where one can truly forget the passing of time.
Vis - the island of ballet entangled in fishing nets
The island of Vis has kept its fishing tradition alive in a unique institution, the Museum of fishing, which was opened in Komiža harbor as early as the sixteenth century. The celebration of this tradition is one of the most celebrated fishermen's feasts on the Adriatic. Those who visit Komiža that night will enjoy live music and be impressed with Vis specialties such as the Komiža flatbread with sardines.
Vis serves up its autochthonous flavor also in the glasses of its most famous wine, Vugava, which is cultivated around the town of Podšpilje, and also in the Isseta - a brandy made of local medicinal herbs.
The International school of ballet has made a tradition of spending the summers here. At the summer's end, dancers from all over the world delight all of Vis with a great ballet performance.

Studio Sticky Buns
These sticky buns are the perfect mixture of sweet, warm and doughy goodness that will make it hard to eat just one!
For the bun:
5 ½ cup all purpose flour
1 tbsp active dry yeast
⅓ cup butter
1 ¼ cup buttermilk
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
3 large eggs
For the filling:
1 cup butter
1 ½ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
½ tsp cloves
¼ tsp cardamom
½ cup flour
For the icing sugar:
1 tbsp whole milk
5-6 tbsp icing sugar
Heat buttermilk and sugar to just above body temperature and whisk in yeast. Set aside and allow yeast to bloom (or foam).
In a stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, add flour and salt. Mix to combine. Add buttermilk mixture, along with eggs until dough begins to form. Add butter in small amounts until fully incorporated. Continue to mix dough for 6-7 minutes. The dough will be smooth, shiny and slightly sticky. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Allow to rise in a warm spot for about an hour (or doubles in size).
While the dough is rising cream together the butter, sugar and spices, using the paddle attachment. When the butter mixture is light and fluffy, add flour and mix until just combined.
Flour the work surface with a generous amount of flour, roll out the dough into a long rectangle (30x 10 inch). Spread with butter filling over the entire rectangle. Roll the dough in a long log, starting with the 30 inch side.
Cut the log into 1 ½ inch rounds, place in a butter baking dish. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow it to double in size. Alternatively, place buns directly in the fridge overnight, after they are wrapped and before you allow them to double in size. Remove them from the fridge in the morning and allow them to double in size before baking.
To bake: preheat the oven to 350F, place buns on the middle rack and bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown, and no longer sticky in the centre.
Milk icing: mix together 1 tbsp milk with enough icing sugar to form a thick paste.
Once the buns have cooled for 15-20 minutes spread on milk icing.
Enjoy….good luck eating only 1!!


Custom bass processing from Waves. Eddie Kramer on the Bass Channel: "The idea behind the Eddie Kramer Bass Channel was to create a fat bass sound with a lot of presence, that cuts through without being overbearing. In general, the low-mid frequencies are accentuated, so it really pops on radio mixes. That way, you can always hear it clearly, even at low volumes on small speakers. The Bass Channel comes in two flavors: Bass1, which is less compressed, for a more dynamic sound that has room to breathe, and Bass2, a more aggressive sound with increased compression."

California Natural (Chicken & Brown Rice)
Rating: | Price: $$$ | Website
*** Please note, since Procter & Gamble took over this brand there have been a number of recalls due to traces of salmonella being found in a number of products. This includes California Naturals, Innova, EVO, Karma and Healthwise formulas ***
California Natural prides itself as using fewer ingredients than the other kinds of pet food. Looking at the ingredient list, it’s not hard to see that they definitely made a point of that. It’s around 1/3 the size of the typical listing, yet is a very regarded food. This can make a person stop and think exactly why then, even high-quality pet foods have ingredient lists the size of short novels.
This food, while keeping it simple, does a good job at giving your cat a well-rounded diet. The first two ingredients are named meat products, with the 2nd one being a “meal” (which is great, but would rather it be the 1st). The grains they use are rice, but it’s a little concerning to me that both the 3rd and 4th ingredients are grains, when we all know that cats require little to no grains in their food.
The sunflower oil (for a good coat) and flaxseed (for Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids) are a nice touch.
By the way, if you’ve ever wondered what taurine is, it’s essential for cats to have taurine as it prevents blindness. Cats that have a deficiency in this experience loss of vision. So there you have it.
This is a recommended food if you don’t want to go all out price-wise for one of the grain-free types, as it is pretty cheap compared to most premium foods.
Where to buy?
What’s good about this food….
Quality meats, decent meat content, grains are of high quality, sunflower oil, and flax.
….and what’s not so good.
The only disadvantage is that, for anybody who wants very high protein in their food, this isn’t it.
Chicken, chicken meal, brown rice, rice, chicken fat, natural flavors, sunflower oil, flaxseed, vitamins, potassium chloride, minerals, taurine, DL methionine, rosemary extract.

This week I’ve put together a collections of post from blogs I visit. It all happens to revolve around a Blue Theme. Enjoy.
Over on House Dazzle there is a lovely feature on Wiseman & Gale Interiors based in Scottsdale, AZ.
The Phoenix house is filled with colorful accents and a tasteful mix of pattern. The saturated blue on the island is amazing, don’t you think?
Marcus Design introduced me to the Chicago-based Residential Architectural firm Burns & Beyerl. I was immediately drawn to this “Urban Cabin” project. Another great use of pattern and color.
The architectural lines of this 4,000 square foot condo are kept open and clean. Terra cotta tile was selected to “warm the urban environment that it looks out upon.” The blue lacquered cabinet is my favorite detail.
If you’ve been dreaming if a summer getaway, perhaps you’ll enjoy checking out the recently revamped historic Chateau Guetsch hotel located in the Swiss Alps.
Décor Dose takes us on a luxurious tour featuring the work of celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. I love the playful pattern used on the walls and seating. I imagine this bar takes on a whole new feeling in the evening with the light softly glowing off the gilt ceiling.
Art meets fashion on Tory Daily, the blog by fashion designer Tory Burch. Here she posts a wonderful feature on Des Artistes, an eco-conscious line of conceptual tees created in collaboration with notable and emerging artists.
The model is wearing Blue Wolf by Jérôme Karsenti.
I can’t really complain about the weather here in South Florida when I look at the rest of the country. I certainly don’t miss those days I had to shovel my car out of a pile of snow left from the snow plow. I do miss an evening spent by the fireplace so today’s post is a curated collection of beautiful kitchens with fireplaces as integral elements. I hope if you are stuck at home this will help you pass some time and provide some inspiration.
This might be one the best executed kitchen fireplaces I’ve come across in a long time.
The tile room divider is more interesting with the linear fire. Of course, safety first when planning a fire element on a counter surface in a working kitchen.
This fireplace in the kitchen creates a deliciously rich and romantic ambiance, filling the space with instant warmth and character.
This low fire element will add warmth and a delightful crackle to the ears. It will be more enjoyable to the guests than the chef but it’s a great example for an open plan house. I think this could also provide inspiration for an outdoor kitchen design.
From low to the ground to an elevated hearth with a linear burner., this fire element adds drama and can be enjoyed from every vantage point. Hopefully there is a large pantry nearby.
The large stone fireplace is balanced nicely by the large open windows. This fireplace could have felt too heavy for the room if the natural light wasn’t present from the windows and the skylight.

Cowlitz County supports citizens’ right to opt out of compulsory vaccination as PeaceHealth suspends workers
The Office of Congressman Jaime Herrera Beutler told Clark County Today that Congress has allocated approximately $ 250 billion to develop and distribute vaccines. Some of this money was used for COVID testing and public health containment measures. People don’t have to pay for the vaccine.
The FDA recently approved the Pfizer BioNTech two-shot vaccine called Comirnaty. According to the Washington Department of Health (DOH), it’s the same as the vaccine previously approved by the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and they can be used interchangeably.
“The vaccine is now available in Washington as it has the same formulation as the EEA. Vendors will continue to use and order the same inventory as always so they already have it in their freezers. But one important clarification: it is open to everyone, not just citizens. Citizenship status is not verified or required to get the vaccine, ”according to the DOH.
However, neither that money nor FDA approval has alleviated public tensions or concerns of many citizens about the vaccines. Governor Jay Inslee has issued a vaccination mandate for all civil servants, teachers, childcare workers and healthcare workers.
Many people are reluctant to “get the jab”. Over 1,000 people protested against the governor’s mandate in Olympia last Saturday. Hundreds of people have protested several times in Esther Short Park in Vancouver.

“The fact that one of these experimental brews received FDA approval makes absolutely no difference to my decision to refuse the injection,” said a Cowlitz resident. She was told that if she does not get the vaccination, she will be fired.
Vancouver’s PeaceHealth originally reported that 80 percent of their workers were vaccinated. But hundreds of their employees have protested against the August 31 deadline set by the company.
As the largest employer in southwest Washington, an estimated 700 to 900 PeaceHealth employees will be affected by the deadline. While other hospitals like Kaiser Permanente have accepted and considered religious and medical exemptions and even extended deadlines for their staff, PeaceHealth reportedly did not.
“They have made no attempts to make reasonable provision for exempt employees, including employees who tried the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and had an anaphylactic reaction,” said Melissa Kolb, a 29-year-old PeaceHealth employee. “Housekeeping, care and nursing staff are at an all-time low and PeaceHealth is willingly putting the community at risk because of their difficult position on this mandate.”
Cowlitz County Commission
A nurse at PeaceHealth St. John’s Medical Center in Longview recently announced at a meeting of the Cowlitz County Commissioner that 33 percent of hospital stays on the hospital’s COVID floor are fully vaccinated. She said hospital patients sway up and down and there were times when 100 percent of patients were vaccinated on the floor.
Her husband owns a business in Woodland. She has had COVID. Her husband, who is older and has comorbidities, didn’t get it. She now has natural immunity.
Your point of view is that the vaccine is not working. “We have a lot of groundbreaking cases. The vaccine doesn’t work the way it was designed. “
She mentioned that the Longview facility has had a staff shortage since March and it’s not just COVID patients that are causing the problem.
Another citizen pointed out that Israel has a 90 percent vaccination rate and is still experiencing a significant outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID. Current cases, despite the vaccinations, are higher than last January’s peak. Israel’s grim COVID data suggests vaccines alone won’t stop the pandemic, one headline reads.
Longview Hospital had 39 inpatients for COVID-19 as of Monday, August 23, up from 24 a week earlier. The hospital increased its COVID-19 unit on the fourth floor from 20 to 32 beds earlier this month. St. John staff recently began converting eight rooms in the intensive care unit (ICU) into COVID-19 isolation units, according to a press release from the hospital.
Michael Clevenger said his healthy 27-year-old niece spent three days in the hospital and nearly died after receiving her first vaccination. She had an oxygen saturation of 84 percent. Today she has permanent lung damage and cannot enjoy hiking and other activities that she loved before the first shot. He also said a colleague spent two days in the hospital and suffered kidney failure the day after his vaccination.
After nearly five hours of public input and debates over two sessions, Cowlitz County Council passed two resolutions on Tuesday opposing vaccine mandates. The first was that the board will not require vaccination as a condition of employment for county employees who are hired and administered by the board and its unelected departments. “
On Wednesday, PeaceHealth said that more than 94 percent of PeaceHealth caregivers had met the employer’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement. Those who did not were put on unpaid leave, according to the organization.
The Washington State Nurses Association filed an unfair labor practice against PeaceHealth on Aug. 20 for making a “unilateral decision” to leave workers given a medical or religious exemption without negotiating with the union, said Ruth Schubert, spokeswoman for the Association.
Washington State ferry workers are now planning “sick-outs” to protest against the governor’s mandate. WSDOT says the reservation system was closed ahead of the planned protests. Other road-repairing transport workers have protested across the state as “stop vaccination mandate” is becoming a rally.
FDA approves booster vaccination
Recently, the FDA approved a third injection of certain “at risk” patients to boost their immune systems’ response to the current surge in the delta variant of COVID-19.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former FDA commissioner, said there are groundbreaking cases of people who have been vaccinated contracting COVID-19. There are breakthroughs across the age spectrum, including young people, he said. “You see it more pronounced in older people who are vaccinated.”
Israel has one of the highest proportions of vaccinated people in the world. The recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the country shows that 86 percent of the new cases between July 4th and July 31st were fully vaccinated. Artwork by Jennifer Margulis
Gottlieb shared that the CDC is not pursuing groundbreaking cases, so you’ll need to look at data from Israel or the UK.
“This is really the debate among the public health population because what they are saying is that we may not need a booster dose because the vaccines are still doing their job to protect people from hospitalizations and serious illnesses.
“The premise was never that they would prevent all infections,” he said. “We took it for granted that the initial data showed that the vaccines were very effective at preventing infections.”
A new national survey, conducted between August 18-25, found that by the fourth quarter of 2021, more than half (52 percent) of employers could have one or more vaccination requirements in the workplace. These range from mandatory vaccinations for employees for access to communal areas such as canteens to mandatory vaccinations for all employees. This is a dramatic increase from the current 21 percent.
Washington State and healthcare workers must now be fully vaccinated by October 18 or may lose their jobs.
Governor Jay Inslee and the state Department of Occupational Safety also said people who refuse to get the vaccine and are then laid off may not become unemployed.
Many have said, based on previous Supreme Court rulings, that the governor’s move was constitutional. According to a 1905 ruling – which has been upheld many times – the Supreme Court ruled that governments can impose mandatory vaccination laws that are “necessary for public health and safety.”
Others point out that the Supreme Court upheld a Massachusetts law that required vaccination against smallpox. That didn’t happen in Washington. “Anyone over twenty-one years of age who is not under guardianship, refuses or fails to comply with such a requirement loses US $ 5,” says the case. That $ 5 in 1902 would be $ 159 today.
The Washington Federation of State Employees (WFSE) filed a lawsuit to prevent Inslee’s vaccine mandate from taking effect after the state and union failed to reach a collective agreement. They represent around 47,000 public sector employees.
